Albany, April ?'..-The ?R?publicain Seiiatoi-a
held a conference at the ("npltol to-nlpM on the
amendment,; to the ?Liquor Tax law, which have
i?een frame,? i,v ?Benator Itaines, ?Senator ??-t-t???
and Henry Lyman. the State Excise Commis?
sioner. Of the thirty-all ?Republican ?Senaten
only Mr. LexoW nnd Mr. Mnllin were absent.
Tho conference was held In the rooms of the Son?
nte Finance Committee.
When the Senators mot it waa w?ll known
that Senator Kord and other city Senators wouM
make a atrong effort to have the tax on clubs
Kreativ lowered, if not entirely abolished. The
"fake" cluba and the "fake" b?tela whleh have
been eatabllahed under the Liquor Tax law were
the ehief aubjecta debated, and It was apt.1
that an effort must be made to suppress them.
There was a -treat difference ?>f opinion, how?
ever, aa to the proper method to adopt.
?Senator White, of Syracuse, was named as
chairman, and .?s soon as ho waa seated Benator
Coggeahall moved thai the assembly be made a
conferen e, and not a caucus. This was adopted,
alth ?ugh several ? f the leaders voted for a cau?
ens, anvil?- them Senators EllaWOrth, Straiiahail
and Rain?t*.
The bill with Mr. Ralnes'i amendment? waa
then read through and ais?? the amendments of
Senator ? ??! relative to taxinir clubs unlesa
they ar" certified to as legitimate by g Supreme
Court Justice, Mr. Alida? ?-?? ?behalf of tho Ex?
else Committee of the Aaaembly, aenl In aeveral
,?.:?, ,?. .?.-.-?* amendment*, ein* ????/ which was a tax
f? r all eluhs.
Senator Ford was the partli-tilar defender of
the cluba, and ha aeeerted that to tax them
would wreck th?? part] ?Senator Balnea caus
tlcally remarked that he had t.'Kur t.. believe
frmii the atrenuoua light made by them that th??
Kri-at dulia of New-Tork City would rather see
tl,?? las evaded and the morals of the country
depraved than have to pay a mite of a tut, or
elae that aonte people were fiphtlne* f??r th? ??.
latence <<t "fak??" dubs, the membership of which
would 1???? tho party. He was frank to say that
he believed the cluba abould be taxed, even if
it hurt th?? party.
Senator Krum said that ho believed from Intl
mate knowledge of the affairs of the upper ?part
of th?*? r-tate that th- ! ?s of votea In N'ow-York
City, if cluba were t. tatd, would not be nearl;.'
as great aa th< loas of \ (tea in the rest of the
s*at?? if tome renr'dy waa not found.
?Senator Pord alleged that becauae of his de
siro to change th? Haines amendments hla bills
had been militated asrainst In the Cltlea Com?
mittee, Senator Stranahan declared that such
a atatemenl was the rankest nonsense. Senator
Pord had ha?i more "ills reported ut than any
other Benator.
The dlacuaalon r?f the amend nent.?* became pen?
erai and rather heated. At midnight Senator
Ellsw? rth cam ? out ind sahl that tho\ ha?l only
Just finished reading ?hrotiph tho amendments
nnd ha<] not ye? arri veil at any conclusion.
Th?? amendmenta submitted i?>- senator Ford.
drawing a line between bona fide ?dubs and
"f.ike" cluba, were generally believed to be un
conatltutlonal, ?Senator Malby thought that no
distinct?"!! could be made between clubs, no
matter who were their Incorporatola, as long m
they were recognized by the state a*? legitimate
? lubs with the stat? s approva! and certified to
by a Supreme Court Judge, It would be ridicu?
lous to hav?? one Buprei ie Court Judge '?verturn
another's decision. As to a saloonkeeper no*,
beint? allowed t?? be thi Ineorrwator <?i a license i
club, thai would be looked upon <?.-? a curtailment
of peraonal ritrhts
It was said on good authority that Edward
Lauterbach and Senator Platt had both -
telegrama to the conference, Mr, Platt In favor
? f the Ralnea amendmenta and Mr. Lauterhach
asking a postpoiH-m.-nt of action until Thurs?
day. It la ?believed that the conference will
finally decide t.? aupport th?* Ralnea amend?
menta, Including the tax on all cluba,
Benator Pord, Benator Lamy, Senator Davis,
Senator Pago and Senator Belbert are among
those who will not agree ? ? make the inference
a caucua or abide by Ita decisions.
Benator Ralnea la aald to have ?leciared that
hla bill provided that all cluba should be taxi 1.
bul that thoac organized previoua to the time
when the Ralnea law wpiu into efTei't might
dlapenae liquor to their memb ra on Sunday.
There appeared to ho about twelve Senatore
who thought that cluba ahould not ' taxed
?md who mad?? apecha m againai Ralnea*a ?cheme.
The conference tiroke up ?it 1:30 a m., and
the atatemenl waa made thai ? ? aucua would
I??? held to-morrow night Benator Ralnea aald:
"Nothing has ?been accomplished, but to-mor?
row night we shall hold g caucua, ?md then we
hope ??? do aon ? thing."

He ipoke of the colossal misrepresentation that
an Insurrection '.?ut not a war existed in Cuba.
Benators had spoken of conlicta in Europe as
real war. as though banners ai I trapplnga were
necessary for the des lly ? I war. He
hoped that action would noi tarded 1 y the
st item, nt of the Senator from Maine that the

in the ourse of hi? speech Mr. M rgan ref I

"What evidence has the Senator." asked Mr
Hal??, "that the prisons of Cuba are filled with

"I win answer," responded Mr. Morgan, "by
asking? a question. I would like to kn-w on

Mr. Hale said that he was not railed upon to

Department or from any other authentic ? or?**-.
In sarcastic t.ne?. Mr. Morcan referred to Mr.
Halo's solicitude for "his Spanish friends" and to
his delicacy over anj? ref? rence to Spanish
atrocity, to rh.? career of the Duke of Alva, or
Oeneral Weyler, or Balmaceda, some of their

would noi be able ? ? ? scape from thl
