NONE OF THE MACHINES BIG BILLS
INTRODUCED.

THE DECISION OF THE FIFTH AVENUE HOTEL
CONFERENCE NOT CARRIED INTO EFFECT
IN ANY PARrIcUIAR-B1ACK SAID
TO RE HOLDING Up BILLS
10y TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBuNE,I
Albany March 15.-Governor Black has not yet
consented to swallow Edward Lauterbach's bill
iegislating out OF Office the Police Board Of New
York and establishing a Greater New-York Po-
lice Commission. This was made evident when
the bill was not introduced tonight. although it
was announced at the conference OF Republican
leaders in New-York yesterday that it certainly
would be presented tonight and damned
through" the Legislature in a week. The meas
ure has been in Governor Blacks hands ever
since Mr.. Lauterbachs visit here last Friday
Il is announced officially that Mr.. Black is still
considering the propriety Of signing the measure
II 1t should ever be passed by the Legislature
Nor did the Legislature take any step forward
with the bills against trusts which are in course
Of preparation by Mr.. Lincoln the Governors
law adviser. and which will be presented TO the
Legislature by Senator Lexow. The Statutory
Revision Commissioners think that the Anti
Trust bills should be prepared with great care
and therefore Mr.. Lincoln is taking unusual
pains with them. 1t is suspected also with good
reason that Governor Black is concerning him
self personally about these bills
4 third measure which was not submitted to the
Senate tonight expected was Senator
Raness amendments to the Liquor Tax law. The
Republicans attending the conference AT the
Fifth Avenue Hotel yesterday decided that this
bill must be damned through" Immediately
The failure of Senator Ranes 10 present the bill
excites the suspicion that Governor Black wishes
70 look il over
Strange TO say. the Greater NewYork charter
also not presented TO the Legislature as eX-
pected. by Senator Stranahan and Assemblyman
Austin. A good many important amendments
have been made 10 this bill and yet people sup
posed that II would be ready for transmission TO
the Senate and Assembly tonight Senator
Stranahan paid a hurried visit TO New-York on
Saturday. Ii is possible that ne wished 10 hold
a conference with members of the Greater New
York Commission about certain grave mistakes
which had been made while the charter was be-
ing drafted In New-YOrk.
Toward the close of this evenings session OF
the Legislature the rumOr went around that the
Greater New-York Police bill was dead. one
leading Republican member said. If the Police
bill does not come before the Legislature this
week YOU can bet that IL won't come at all.
Governor Black however. is stN reticent as 10 his
opinion OF the bill. and until he makes known his
decision It's fate viii be undetermined. He makes
no secret OF the fact that he does not welcome H.
II will be seen from this record of what has not
been done that the Legislature has been in ses-
sion for two and One-haf months and has ac-
compshed practically nothing. The great meas
ures which Il was going 10 pass quickly ana then
adjourn have not even been introduced.
