ALBANY. May 1.-THE number Of thirty day
bills left on Gov. Morton's hands bv the Legisla-
ture of 1895 10 In the neighborhood of 300. No
one can tell yet just what the exact number is
on account of the fact that some Of them are
astray about the State in the hands OF Mayors
and other common people. to whom the new
Constitution gives certain powers in the direc-
ton OF reviewing legislation. These powers
very great after adjournment most lawyers
holding that disapproved bill when received
from local authorities cannot 60 to the Gov
crnor without being passed anew. Before
the adjournment these powers Of review did not
amount to much. Only single exception exists
to the rule that bills were promptly rcpnss ed
when they came back here with the disnpproval
of the local authorities. That was when Speaker
Fish undertook to throw a bouquet of legislative
endorsement to Mayor Strong In recognition OF
his approval of the Bipartisan Police bill
against the Parkhurstian protest. He took the
floor for the purpose OF thus defeating the st.
Johns Park bill. but 1t was n very cheap offer
ing on the altar OF gratitude to the Mayor. No
one of the majority was interested In the BILL as
and Assemblyman Finn.
Another reason why the exact number OF
thirty-day bills cannot be given is that somc
which the Senate passed yesterday have not yet
received the signature Of the presiding officer OF
that august tody. Licnt.-Gov Saxton took to
the woods yesterday with a number Of Senators. |
and the bills referred to await his return. 1t is
calculated in the Executive chamber that the
usual list of thirty,day bills will be ready for
the public next Wednesday. Gov. Morton went |
to Ellerslie this afternoon, and will come back |

dollars, and be mostly for the benefit of the
Iiovernor's hands once before, but he refused to
sign II. and 1t was recalled tosayenveto. No one
believes that he has changed his mind on it, or
that he will yield to any new pressure.
Another nice bill is interesting in view OF
Speaker Feh's certificate that no bills for fran
were allowed to 20 through. II also proves that
senator LeNow was not In Albany entirely for
his heath's sake and for the furtherance OF re-
form measures pure and simple. His bill passed
the Senate smoothly under the label OF his name.
