THE RAPID TRANSIT BILL.
Governor Tiden's Rapid Transit bill was up be-
fore tho Assembly this evening, shortly after re-
assembling. Strong impressions are again cre-
ated that tho lobby mean to enectually kill
the practicabity OF this bill, as they have
already succeeded in doing with the Common
Council measures. They have been buslly en-
gagged to-day with members or the Legislature.

Mr.. Jacob Hess was called to the chair,
In Committee of the Whole. and tbs bill
was read through by the Clerk. When first intro
duced it was understood no amendments were
necessary to perfect It. but further careful con-
sideration Dy friends OF rapid transit in New York
city discovered some imperfections- Mr.. Hustled,
therefore, It Is understood, acting with the con-
sent OF Governor rilden, offered some amend

crossing the track OF any steam railway now In

waehner; another amendment from Mr.. T. Q.
Campbell, providing that the Mayors OF cities shall
appoint the commissioners, instead OF the Gov
ernor. The whole matter, alter nearly three hours
discussion over the BILL was developed into

the county OF onondaga from Its provisions. Mr..
Burtls suggested the same action for Kings, ana,
OF course, Speaker McGure could not let the
opportunity pass without naming Caemung
county In the same category. Tnc whole tone
OF tots debate oonciusiVely proves that a
strong opposition TO the bill exists among . GER

OPINIONS AS TO THE BILL.
Every honest man and clear headed LAWYER with
whom conversed here tell me that this measure -
the best aud safest that can be adopted BY the
present Legislature 10 speedily perfect q system
OF rapid transit In the metropolis. II this Is the
case, then all who oppose It and endeayor to
throw impediments in ITS war must be looked
upon win suspicion.
THE BLACK list
In the debate tonight some gentlemen VINO had
undertook to explain their position. Mr.. warren
Q. Bennett. nom tue Filth district alleged that
ne was always IN favor OF rapid transit
ana would do everything IN his power TO
forward IT, he was Impressed with the idea
that every man. woman and child In New York
city demands Ii, and ne, therefore, could not
under any consideration oppose so necessary
measure. One two others who figured in
tnat now famous group took considerable
pans 10 eucidate tneir exac. position
on this vital issue. Let thcm suck
to their colors In support Of the present bill and
all may jet be right. The session OF the House
lasted uAtI few minutes OF twelve O'Clock, but
Mr.. husted persisten,Iy pushed on his measure.
The gentleman at the END OF the debate moved 10
order the bill to a third reading.
