ALBANY. April 4.--Alvord's Supply bill
made the quickest tlmc on record in It's passage
through the Assembly to-day. In years past
the wrangling over this bill has lasted from
three days to u week in each House, whlo to-
day 1t was hustled through in n single session
OF less than throo hours. This WIS undoubt-
cdiy due to the constitutional amendment
giving the Governor power to veto any single
item in the bill and to the notice he gave
by his action OF last winter that he would avail
himself OF the privilege whenever he caught q
steal or improper item in the bill. That the Gov
ernor will. however. approve OF all the items in
the bill. even as II now stands is not so certain
md there Is abundant opportunity to stun 1t
yet in the Senate. as WIS done three years ago.
when over n million dollars was added by that
body. The ensy and quick passage Of the bill
through the Assembly must 10 very gratifying
TO Alvord and tho members Of the Ways and
Means Committee. and If II proves to be worthy
OF the confidence thus expressed. It will be n
precedent that future committees will do well
to follow. Very few changes were made in the
bill us reported from the committee. Mr. Parker
after plucky fight. succeeded in squeezing in
$4,000 TO improve the inlet OF Chautauqua lake
All the other additions made would not amount
TO as much us this.
A strenuous effort was made TO insert an APP
preparation Of $4,000 for the construction OF n
building for the Central New York Association
for Deaf Mu,cs. ut Rome but il was defeated.
Mr.. Fish attacked the appropriation ofs50.000
for tho New York Catholic Protectory. and wns
sustained by Mr.. Gilbert. Mr.. Seebacher was
the first 10 come to tho defence of the Protec-
tory. insisting that II WIS one OF the most worthy
Institutions in the State, and should receive en-
enlargement In Its good work. In this he WIS
sustained by Messrs. Brooks. Avord. Grady.
Purdy, and Polar Hayes. and the appropriation
was retained by an Overwhelming vote Thus
the attempt To raise the sectarian issue which
has for years created so much bad blood in con-
nection with the appropriations for this institu
ton was miserable failure.
A bill to enable the new Capitol Commission
ers TO execute contracts for the work under the
recent proposals. In anticipation Of the sum APP
proprated in the supply bill. was introduced
By Mr.. Alvord and Immediately passed. In be-.
that il this was done and the work could be
kept right on with, the Senate and Assembly
Chambers and the Governors department

meets.
