Albany, Feb. l3.-It was feared wien the
Assembly met to-day that the deadlock over the
Worlds Fair bill would he continued by the
Assembly again adopting a hostile attitude 10
the Senate form Of that measure containing
additional Republican Commissioners These fears
we're justified, the Assembly rejecting a we'll
meant appointment by Speaker Hustled of AS
seniblymen rs members of new Conference Com-
mi,tce on the BILL who would have accepted
the Senate bill. Then the Assembly appointed
a Conference Committee of five, every member OF
which, except one, is opposed To the
Senate bill The Republican Senator'S. forming
the majority of the Senate. unanimously favor the
Senate bill. so that it is obvious that the Senate
and the Assembly cannot possibly come TO an
agreement at present upon the bill. Moreover,
the Senate has appointed a Conference Com
mittec, every member of which is in favor of the
Senate bill The Assembly Committee Is in
favor of the Assembly bill There IS therefore. an
absolute deadlock upon the measure. The Jolnt
Committee met tonight and agreed 10 adjourn TO
next Wednesday morning at o'clock
The action of the Assembly which led up TO
its decision against the Senate bill was stormy
beyond any precedent this session Personalities
of a bitter nature were frequent, and speaker
Hustled several times had to check members for
making unparliamcntaIy remarks. As on pre-
yious occasions. the Senators who were keenly
Interested in the fate of the measure came over
to the Assembly Chamber and listened 10 the
debate. 40 sooner had the Assembly met than
Mr. Fish, as the chairman Of the Conference
Committee announced that that committee dis
agreed with the Conference Committee o. the
Senate upon the Worli's Fair bill. Mr. Fish
then moved that new committee be app 'inted.
THE SPEAKER TURNS IT OVER TO THE CITY
Speaker Hustled to every ones surprise, before
rccognizng any one who wished 10 make a speech
on the notion himself made an address from the
Chair lie said that a weighty responsibility
was thrown the Chair, which he would not try
10 shirk. Two Conference Committees had al
ready been appointed and had failed to solve the
problem Both committees were appointed in ac-
cordance with parliamentary usage At this su-
prcme juncture the Chair would not, by the eX-
crcsc Of his prerocatiye go upon the record as au
enemy Of an enterprise Of which he is, in fact,
an earnest friend. If th, great undertaking is
to be throttlcd in its conception, other hands must
grasp its throat. The people Of Ncw-Nork demand
the Fair. They have generously and munlh-
Gently subscribed their money 10 insure It's sue
cess. They have the right 10 be heard by the
representatives, of the people. They have the right
TO bc heard through their own representatives. In
! the hope that reason Will resume her sway. that
preiudice and partisanShip may be laid aside or
overcome. that the great desire of the people
Of the metropolis may he gmtitied, the Chair
would commit the city'S interests in respect OF
this whole question 10 the charge Of those whom
she had sent To this House rs the guardians Of her
welfare and the eXponens of her views. Ihe
Chair would still adhere To the precedent Of the
past. but would localizc the membership of the
amt. fft-aS of
metropolis
Mr. Hustled then announced aS the members OF
the committee Assemblymcn King. Lewis, lioaS
OIIarc and Dukc,spicl. all of New-lork. Every
one recognized at once that this was committee
that with one exception would accept the Senate
bill Mr. Fish. as leader of the bolting Repuh
leans and the Democrats. Immediately Oh. .ected
10 the appointments on the ground that they
would not represent the wishes of the majority oi
tie Assembly. lie Sad in a loud voice:
