THE ALBANY LEGISLA TURE.
There Is Little Prospect OF an Agreement
Rapid Transit.

ALBANY, May j.-The rapid transit ques-
ton received no formal consideration tonight
beyond that necessary to arrange for meet-
ing OF the conference committee in the morn
ing but Ii was the prn G. pal topic on the trains
and here in town among tho returning legsla-
tors The attitude Of the Senate and Assem-
bly, on the subject seems to be unchanged.
The only news was n rather significant intima-
tion from the Executive chamber. that is con-
strucd to mean that he will not sign any bill In
which the Commissioners aro named. This
will sti0en the Assembly in it's position, but
will have no effect In weakening the Senators
In their stand. They will maintain sturdilY
that tho revelations made by the Fassett COM
mittee justify them in refusing TO let the
Mayors Commission go through or give him
any appointments. Three days and q half
only remain to the lawmakers. 80 that the
prospect OF any rapid transit bill being passed
are more than slim.
The incident which. inSthe minds OF stho leg
isators, took on the appearance OF a guberna.
toriRl tip. was the interview between Gov. Hill
and Fred Gibbs, the Legislative sponsor Of the
Til rroviding for q commission, consisting of
Andrew II. Green and othors. TO consider 1ho
question of consolidating New York and its en-
virons. outside Of Jersey. in one municipality.
The Governor told Mr.. Gibbs that he was ins
consistent in presenting such n bill and main
tanning homo rule attitude on the question
of rapid transit. The measure named tho
Commissioners. or a majority Of them. With
these suggestions the Governor advised Mr..
Gibbs to have sthe bill recalled for amend
ment This Mr.. Gibbs did, and started a mes
senger of with it post haste to have Mr. Green
fix II up.
