Albany, May 15.-The Legislature adjoums to-mor&
row. Painfully conscious OF that fact the friends Of
important measures labored hard to bring either the
senate or the Assembly TO vote upon them. This
was especially the case In the Assembly; and there
siso another vote asked on several bills of ns
terest that have hitherto failed to pass.
one measure of great importance was Introduced
| In the Assembly. 1t bill presented by General
husted, and 1t provides that the foundations OF the
great municipal building which Mayor Grant proposes
to place In the City Hall Park shall rot be laid before
June i, 1900. In other words the bill says the
building shall not be constructed until pubic senti.
ment in Sew.York shall have q chance TO decids
whether or not the city authorities had better taks
up more OF tho scanty space left in the parks with
public buildings.
General Hustled said this morning to The Trbuns
correspondent: II regard It shame that the sg-
thorities of New-York ever surrendered portion Of
the City Hall Park for Postofce. / ycl remember
when boy what beautiful place tho park was Tho
Postolce should never have been put In it. taking away
one-third Of its space. We we had lesson IN that
matter, II seems to me, which should have taught us
to guard jealousy every inch remalnng Of the PARK
space
al am astonlshed that the proposal should be nads
to occupy so large portion Of the park plot With the
building which is TO be erected under Mr. Crosbys
act. That certainly was not the understanding when
we passed the Law. Then II represented 10 us
that the building would occupy only the ground COW
cred by the old fire engine house and the brownstons
building Of the Court of General Sessions The fact
is that the building should be placed IN tho City
Hall Park In any case, the people OF New-York
should have time reflect on the matter and to do
eide what kind Of building shall go In the park, II,
Indeed they think It best that should 90 there
Mr.. Hustled introduced his bill by unanimous cons
sent, and then, also by unani imous consent had 10
a Thara vVag
fusion at tho time in the House aud few of tho New
York Assembymen knew what It was about. Those
who did, like Assemblymen Crosby and Hamilton;
approved Of It; but Assemblyman Hogan, of Tammany
Hail. If he had been present, would have objected to
It. Mr.. Hustled may succeed in passing It. but there
are great odds against him, the bill having Seen ntro-
duced at such late date in tho session.
Mr.. Hamilton attempted to resurect his defeated
Cable Railway bill, giving the New-York Cable RAM
way Company authority to build its proposed seventy
miles Of tracks. His motion was defeated by vota
of 90 to 4S.
Tho Trail bn came from the Senate but was
referred to the Railroad Committee, although at
tempt was mado to orier It to a third reading.
Mr.. Blumenthal then moved that the Assembly
should reconsider its vote by which his bill lost,
which gave the Catholic Protectory OF New-York an
appropriation for tho support Of its schools His
motion TO reconsider the vote adopted, but then
the bill again failed to pass, receiving only hftyseven
votes In its favor, when sxty.hvo votes were
required and twentyetght votes were cast against IT,
Mr.. sheehan, tho Democratic leader, attempted To
defeat Assemblyman Coon's Compulsory Education
bill, which had boen amended In the Senate Ha
objected 20 the bill being ordered TO third reading.
This compelled Speaker Cole to send IL 10 tho COM
mittee on Education; but that COMMITTEES at once
met, reported the bill fsvorably, and the Assembly
ordered the bill TO q third reading The Assembly,
passed the bill by vote Of rs to &c. The negative
votes were cast byDemocrats.
The superiRtendents Of the Poor have again de-
Rated In the Assembly the benefceut Of tho
state Charities Aid Association transfer Of tho
pauper insane from the wretchedly managed county
insane asylums TO the state insane ssy1
lums. Mr.. Nixon, OF Chautauqus county,
led the attack upon the measure, which this time
came from the Senate as Senator Fassetts bill. 10
was defeated by vote of so yeas to SO nays.
Nevertheless, the friends Of the measure are not dis
couraged. They, OF course, admit that they ean4
not transform their bill into law this year; but they
show that public sentiment ralying TO their sde Last
year they could not favorable report on
the bill nom the committees of tho Legislature.
This year they not only secure such reports, but
large proportion OF the members OF tho Legislature
favor the bill
Mr.. Nixon then called up his bill prohibiting the
sale Of Chicago dressed beef in this State. and made
q speech against diseased meat. He mentioned tha
Western States that had passed similar bills, and ex|
pressed the opinion that the laws were constitutional
to Mr.. Nixons. Both counties were largely dairy
regions He had written to his constituents TO learn
their views about tho BILL and only one man wrote
IN its favor. The butchers were unanimous IN tne
opinion that It would raise the price of beet He had
therefore decided 10 vote against the bill. The blu
was defeated by q vote Of % yeas TO go nays
