WORK STILL TO DOM ALBANY.
MANY BILLS CROWDED INTO THE LAST
DAYS OF THE LEGISLATURE.
IMPORTANT MEASURES WAITING AS WELL AS
"STRIKEs"-LITTLE PROSPECT OBJ AID.
JoURNMENT ON MAY 49,

Albany, May ct is hardly likely that the Legs-
laturo will adjourn next week on the date named
time ago, May 10. II there had not been so
many delays aud interruptions In the session which
retarded action the important measures and held
back local bills which desired in nearly every
part OF the State, this would have been DONE There
is talk Of extending the session until May %, a
week later than originally intended. II this IS
DONE there no reason why all the measures that
needed should not be sent to the Governor. The
Assembly has by far the most work to do, and this
body because Of numbers alone, Is many degrees
slower than the Senate There are now at least
800 bills the order Of third reading, and many more
have not yet reached this position OF these, less
than one.hau should become laws, for 1t IS at this
time OF the session that the fathers Of STRIKES and bad
measures expect TO rush their bills through. There
are, however acts of local character that to specific
localities Of great importance, and no section should
re allowed 20 suffer in consequence OF desire 70 I'D
journ next week
The Assembly has st to concur in the amendments
which were made by the Senate in the Excise Com
mission bill Over this, II IS probable that fight
will similar 10 that OF several sessions back,
when the Ycdder Tax bill was on It's final passage
In the Assembly.
Rapid transit for New.York city has yet to be acted
upon In this House. The members of the Assembly
laid the bill which Mr. Crosby presented d that body
on tho table to await the Scnatos action. Tho As
scmbly bill has many amendments that the Sen
ate refused to accept, but In all probability this par
ticuar will DO allowed to stay where II Is
and the Senate bill In its present form will DO taken
up and passed.
With these more important measures, the Assembly
has large number Of bills, Of greater less conse-
quence, making changes in the laws governing New
York City which have yet TO bo acrd upon Now that
tho Senate has refused to include the cable railway
amendment in the Rapid Transit bill, It Is thought
that effort viii be made 10 give the Gable Company
what II wants through the bl introduced In the Assem-
bly, early In the session b. Robert Ray Hamilton.
This measure has becn quietly sleeping for some time
IN the Committee Of the Whole awaiting action on
the Rapid Transit bill Since tho senate has decided,
least, let the cable bin become part OF tho
measure advocated by the Mayor Of Ncw,iork, the
cable bill must DO passed separately, II at all. The
BIZ introduced by Thomas smith, r., which changes
the present method OF making up the Board Of school
commissioners IN Ncw-YUrk City Is on tie order Of
thlrl reading In the Assembly II has yet to pass the
Senate, II the Assembly give II tho requisite number
Of votes and Is chances Of reaching the hands Of the
Governor are slim indeed.
The senate has also enough work hand 10 keep
rs members at work harder than ever before, II
they want to get through In time to adjourn next
week Tho most important measure that tho senate
has how to act upon IS the Annual supply bill. The
Finance Commit and tally senator sloan,
