- the Assembly.
NEW YORk's CHANCES WANING.

Until Next Tuesday Dcpew's view
of the Situation.
ALBANY. Feb 1.-The worlds fair bill
same up in the assembly again yesterday.
The fight Of the day began when the confer
Foce committee, through Assemblyman
Ackef. made their report in the assembly.
- ~as TO the effect that the senate part Of
vne committee had consented TO recede from
dts amendment so far as to take out five OF
Che names it had put into the bill. These
were: Louis F. Payn, Republican, of Column
bia county; Ellis II. Roberts, Republican.
of Oneida county; A. b. Boardman, Repub-
ficsn, Of Richmond county; Erastus Corn
ing, Democrat, OF Albany county, aud James
Ward, Republican, OF Westchcster county
The alleged reason for asking that these
names he stricken out was that the gentle
men are not residents Of New York city.
The Democratic members OF the conference
committee Senator Coulter and Assembly
nnen sheehan and Blumenthal, presented a
minority report rejecting the whole Of the
aenate amendment
speAkea Husted's Plea.
Mr. Acker moved that the majority repor,
Ne acoepted and agreed to. Before putting
the question Speaker Hustled explained I'll,
question, that a vote 70 agree with the re-
port OF the conference committee would b.
vote for the Worlds fair bill He further
ruled in advancc, but on request for in.
formation, that il this report should he re-
lecbed no further conference could be had
<n the bill, and IL would be dead So for a.
the assembly was concerned. This position
he reiterated when he left the chair and.
going on the floor, made an eloquent plea
for the conference report He said that Il
tkis report was rejected all Worlds fair
legislation was at an end, unless the senate
ahould agree TO the assembly bill that had
been sent 10 il without amending It,
The Committee's Repart Defeated.
With this clear presentation of the stuH-
zion the roll call was proceeded with. Mr.
Fish defended his vote by claiming that tb
commission as originally made up was nc .
partisan, and that politics was injected in
the measure by adding the new names. -Four
seen Republicans voted with the Democrats,
and the conference committees report was
rejected by vote Of AZ to o.
what the Killed Measure Was.
The bill thus killed was the senate bill
7dding some commissioners to those named
a. the bill as it came from the Worlds fail
eDmmittee that was thus rejected by the as.
@embly. But the assembly bill is still before
zle senate, aud before Tuesday next Gomez
. is hoped the Republicans Of both the senate
and the assembly will reach an agreement
on the bill and then will pass it.
In the Senate.
When the assemblys action was reported
Go the upper house Senator Cantor moved Il
take up the original assembly Worlds fair
bill, which had been lying on the senate's
desk all this time
NWhat advantage is there in doing thatf
said Fassett
III you pass il as ID came here it can go to
the governor this afternoon
That will never do, replied Fassett IN
mis- most sarcastic tone.
The motion to take up the bill was lost
The assemhly's action is said TO have yer,
largely decreased New York's chances O
nnttine the fair. and Chauncey M Depew i
~ the opinion that Chicago stock has gone
Rp % per cont No action will probably be-
caken on the assembly bill before Tuesday.
