ALBANY, March 1.—It was reported this afternoon that Boss Platt had con- wented to release the police bills which are hung up In the Senate as the result of an agreement on the part of Mayor Strong to retain Commissioners Murray and Kerwin. Another report says that an agreement has also been reached by which Supt. Byrnes is to stay. Some color of truth was lent to these reports by the release of the Police bills by Senator Lexow in the Senate to-day. He would not discuss the matter any further than to say the bills would be voted upon next week. The Nyack reformer moved Benate to-day, that the bills be ad- vanced to third reading and Wednes- Gay next be set aside for their consid- eration in the Senate. Uncle Dan Bradley, who is a member ot the Lexow Special Committee, ap- pointed to consider and report on the Dill, wanted to know when a meeting ef the Committee had been held at which the decision to report them had been reached. “Oh, you are not interested in these Dills,” sald Lexow. sisted Bradley want to nave something to say about them in commitiee as weil as on the floor of the Senate.’ “in Vient Saxton decided that “Uncle ’ objection was good, and that Mg would have to be returned to sf"Uommittee and considered by the full membership.
