[rRoMrHE REGULAR cog RESPONDENT OF THE rRrBuNE.l
Albany, April 19.-Ex-Senator Warner Miller
was in Albany last night as the guest Of Governor
Morton, and stayed over night at the Executive
Mansion He returned to New-York this morning.
The Governor is desirous that the New-York re-
form bills should pass and is exertlng his influ-
ence in every direction to gain votes for them.
Mr. Miller has great deal Of power in the Legs-
lature and therefore his advice and aid were
sought by the Governor.
Mr. Miller said before returning to New-York
to-day that ne felt much encouraged regarding
the New-York measures He had believed that
they would be defeated but now he had hopes
that most of them would pass. He was confident
that the Police Magistrates bill would become
law.
Governor Morton, however. cannot be pleased
with the news which daily comes TO him of an al
lance Of Tammany Hall with Mr. Platt in the
LEGISLATURE Thus to-day Senator Stapeton moved
that the Senate Committee on Cities be dis
charged from the further consideration Of the bill
of Alfred r. Conklng. requiring the proprietors OF
lodging-houses in New-York, Brooklyn and Buffa-
o to keep registers of their dodgers between Sep
tember / and November Is. The object Of this
provision is 10 prevent the colonization Of voters
The bill was passed in the Assembly BY large
majority on April TO- Mr.. Conkllng went before
the Senate Committee on Cities and explained the
object OF IT, It would naturally be expected that
the Republicans on that committee would have
been ger to report the bill favorably at once, be-
cause the Republican party suffers so much from
colonization in New-York Instead Of doing So.
however they refused TO act on the measure, and
began t. pay attention to amendments suggested
bv Senator Ahearn OF Tammany Hail. Ahearn,
offered an amendment to compel the owners OF
hotels to report the names Of their dodgers to the
city authorities.
How foolish 1t would be to compel the Windsor
Hotel pcople for instance" said Mr.. Conkling to-,
day. ITO report the names of their lodgers"
Senator Parsons. the chairman Of the commit
tee resisted the adoption OF Senator Stapletons
motion to discharge the committee from the
further consideration Of the bill. senator Sulli-
van objected because so few New-York Senators
were present. Senator Parsons said that the
Cities Committee was disposed to report the bill
in an amended form He thought the motion
unfair
Senator Stapleton retorted that he had trieo
several times to get the bill reported and could
not do So He had then told the chairman that
ne should move 10 discharge the committee. he
insisted on his motion.
senator Rradley called attention to the fact
that Senators were leaving the room 80 as 10
break the quorum. -
Senator Stapleton said that he should not row
refer TO the evidence of a deal 10 Kill the bill,
but would do at another time in way not
