ASTORIA COMPANY.

Albany. April 20 (speciaD.-Thc Senate gave up
three hours of it's valuable time to-day to a con-
flct over n bill introduced by Assembyman HILL OF
Buffalo which II is suspected, is designed to free
valuable property OF The Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road from taxation afor twenty years. Mr. Hill
denied that this his purpose. He says his Dill
was drawn with the idea OF inviting the construc-
ton of big piers and docks on the shores OF New
York Harbor for the accommodation OF ocean
steamships. ,-,ar
Whatever the purpose Of the measure, Senators
Grady and McCarren assailed It and attempted to
have 1t sent 10 the Committee on Taxation and
Retrenchment for hearing Senator Ford chair
man OF the Committee Commerce and Naviga-
ton whose members had just reported the bill
favoraby. said that Senator McCarren was at
tempting to kill It by indirection. After long
contest Senator McCarrens motion TO send the bill
to the Committee Taxation and Retrenchment
was adopted by vote Of 80 to l6. One Of the
reasons which contributed to this result was sus-
picion that the bill contained provisions which
might be used by the Astoria Light. Heat and
Power Company.
Assembyman Hi made public a letter from
Alexander r. Smith, secretary OF the Commerce
Commission, favoring the bill
Objection TO another bill was made by Senator
Grady the suspicion that II was an Astoria
