OPENED WITH A RUSH. !
The New York Legislature Reconvenes at
Albany.

Albany.
ALBANY, Jan. 10.-The winters session
of New York states legislature of 1896
was fairly opened with a swing and a
rush. The great capitol was aiight on
every floor. The corridors were streaming
with Legislators and spectators earlier than
usual at night session, and the elevatorS
on both senate and assembly sides we&
constantly pumping up more people from
the ground floor TO the legislative levels
More than common interest centered in
the committee announcements to be made
In the assembly by Speaker Fish, and
thither went the early corners until the
brilliantly lighted chamber was thronged
in the gallery with men and women, and
until the floor behind the great brass rail
was impossible
The appointed hour Of opening passed
and ten minutes more before MIR. Fish,
with his secretary, emerged from the
speaker room, and, attended by some ap-
plause, for the first time ascended to the
speakers chair as its official occupant.
Mr.. Fish was in conventional attire and
wore a white rose on his lapel. He took
his place as though he were in haste and
called the body to order.
The senators were on hand early and
talked over the prospects for the winter
before the session opened. The upper
house was called to order by Lieutenant
Governor Saxton, and the legislative ses-
sion of 1895 was launched upon its win
ter work.
Among the bills introduced in the SEN
nte were:
By Senator Reynolds-A greater New
York bill The governor of the state the
mayor Of New York and the mayor Of
Brooklyn are each to appoint three com
missioners and the two mayors are to act
ex officio; s25. 600 is appropriated, and the
commission is to proceed to frame char
ter.
Senator Mullin-Abolishing the present
police force in Troy; also allowing the
mayor, comptroller and city engineer Of
Troy to appoint a new police force.
In the assembly, after some routine
work. Mr.. Lawson's antiforeign flag bill
was the first bill read under the order Of
first reading Of bills.
When the speaker handed down the list
of committee appointments, the slight
confusion which pervaded the chamber
was suddenly hushed, and the clerk began
the reading Of the list amid silence. There
were no demonstrations or audible com
ments during the reading Of the list
Most Of the important appointments ap
peared to have been anticipated, and they
were listened to with apparent indiffer
ence.
A large number of new bills were intro
duced, none icing Of special Importance
The nominations sent to the senate b,
Governor Morton were as follows:
Arthur r. Sullivan Of Rochester, coun
BY Judge Of Monroe in place Of Judge W
Il. Werner, resigned, to serve until Jan
/, 1896; Alfred Spring Of Franklinville
justice Of supreme court, Eighth judieia
district, in place Of Judge Albert Haight
resigned, to serve until Jan. !, 1896.
Managers Of the Hudson River Stat
Hospital-George F. shrady Of New York
to succeed himself, and Francis y. Mani
Of Troy, to fill vacancy caused by dealt
of John Sherry.
