In the courso of his remarks Mr. Wilson
intimated that the action of the mayor in
signing tho order was worthy of investigation
aud the chair called him to order for
reflecting on tho executive. After a long
and warm debate, the order was referred to
tho conuuitteo on judiciary with full power
to act. Tho Advertiser to-day, in commenting
upon tho matter, says: "The similarity
of the city council methods in Now York nnd
Boston has been of late a matter of growing
comment. The Gotham aldermen have had
their airing and provo to have been a
set. There Is now a strong probability
that u striking faithfulness of imitation
of tho doings of the metropolitan compters
can be shown to have existed In certain notorious
dealings of tho common council."
