Albany. Feb 10.-As stu further contribution
60 the homo rails legislation Senator Victor J.
Downing to-day presented a measure providing that
the powers OF the State Railroad Commission
should not apply 90 the city OF New-York. and that
the local authorities should exercise these impor
tant duties. This measure Is facetousy charac-
terized an EFFORT 10 repair omission in the
blanket or omnibus home rule bill introduced
by Senator Downing. but presumably drafted under
the guidance OF David h. Hiil directly after the
announcement last week that the Governor was
considering that question and hoped TO secure
legislation IN that direction.
Ex-senator Charles l.. Guy. who IS the repre-
sentative and envoy extraordinary Of the Tammany
administration at the Capitol to-day had long
talk with the Governor and urged upon him the
great measure OF the patchwork BILL introduced by
Senator Bowling last week. and also prohered
support Of the Tammany representatives to home
rule legislation OF bona-nde character. The Gov
ernor listened with great interest to the plea made
by Mr.. Guy, contenting himself With the assurance
that he was giving the subject careful attention
and consideration.
The departure Of the Governor for New-York this
afternoon put end 20 all conjecture as to the
nature OF the home rule conference announced for
next Monday. 1t Is known. however, that this con-
