ALBANY March 1.-Ex-Alderman Alfred
Roscoe Conkling OF New York stirred up the
Assembly menngerie this morning. and all the
animals made great snarl Of 1t over the East
River Elevated Railroad Bridge bill. This bill
passed last week in the shape Of a substitute
by Senator McCa-ren for Mr.. Dry Dollar Sui
lieans original bill The substitu ute was passed
in the Assembly as a Senate amendm ent with.
out being read through 1t gives tho East
River Bridge Company the power to build three
miles Of elevated road in New York city with
out paying anything to anybody for tho right
of way or franchise. There was only one vote
against the amendment, and quite a number
OF Assemblymen. since the newspapers have
printed good deal about tho BILL have ex-
planned thnt they did not know what they were
voting for. and that they passed tho amend.
ment under a misapprehension.
Ex-Alderman Conkling introduced resolu-
ton this morning to have the bill recalled from
the Governor. and its passage rcconsdered.
He did not mention tho title OF tho bin in his
resolution. only its number. The resolution
was adopted as matter of course. as tho re-
o.
Queer for amendment is n common thing.
After a while Mr.. Dry Dollar sullivan, who has
charge Of the East River Bridge BILL and tho
East River Elevated Railroad bill in the AS
scnbly. found out what hal been done and
became exceedingly wroth. He got IN and
denounced MIR. Conkling and moved to recon.
slider the vote by which the bill was recalled
'Onc Of the mob can be II loafer." said Mr.
Dry dollar sullivan in great anger but it
takes a dude to be n sneak. That man is so
light that il tho Legislature dropped him out
of tho shot tower on Centre street on q wet
sponge he would not knock a drop of water
out OF it
Mr.. Conkling said that the amendment to tho
bill had been hurried through by stealth. It
had not been printed. and many Of tho mem
bers did not know its contents. He had not
known it's contents himself or he would have
opposed it. Tho Assembly was entitled to
know what it was passing. and it was no use
for the Assemblyman from the Second district
to get up and say tho kind OF things that he
had said Mr.. Conking said that he was in
the Assembly to do his duty and he was going
to try to do it. no matter what the other AS
semblymen might say about it.
