ALBANY, May 1.-THE extra session tall
that began as the members of tho Legislature
were dispensing is still heard here. 1t seems
to be even more talked OF in New York. but II
the rest of the State receives little attention
Most OF tho legislators from the rural districts
are, in fact. opposed to q special session II
| means no addition to their pay. md tho amount
OF the mileage allowance is not a great attrac-
, tion There il no promise Of furtherinE local
legislation to appeal to them either. for only
the special subject on which the extra session
might Dc CO, led could be considered. Tbat
subject. OF course. would be rapid transit.
The rural statesmen In Albany are always
moro than really to legisate for New YORK.
and this would 10 legislation strictly for the
metropolis: but they are not so ready to traVel
to Albany for that purposs alone. The pro-
tence and subterfuge OF a general rapid transit
act will be more than ever necessary II n spe-
cial session is called for precedent and the
| Constitution are both against the cpnvening OF
nm extra session for local legislation. rms
does not alter tho fact that rapid transit
measures must be and always have been con-
sidered with almost sole reference to the city
OF New York.
! Gov. lIill has made no sign and said no
| word to indicate that he contemplates call
| ing the Legislature together again. he was
| questioned on the subject on the day OF ad-
| journment by THE Sun correspondent He did

nppear to appeal to him Us novel proposition.
1t was almost evident that tho idea had oc-
Cured to him or had been suggested to MIN
BEFORE But he did not cypress even IN opn-
ion on it.
