Flower has the measure In bis hands.

Tho powers and privileges conferred upon tho corporation aro Still extraordinary, though by no means so great as contemplated In the measure as llrst Introduced. Tho company must keep Its streets In repair, aud is limited to a capital Stock of and required to charge only, a live-cent fare. Alfred It. Colliding endeavored to send tho bill back to tho committee, but tho majority or tho House was against him, and the bill wOs speeded on Its way to the Governor by a Vote or 70 to 30. A dozen men jumped to their feet when the report or the committee having tho Tele- phono bill in charge was read.

Tho committee reported adversely, and chairman Daniel F. Martin, la moving tho adoption or the report, said: The committee In making thin runort has arrived at thu ouuctualou, 1 tliinK. that tho telephone mili- sorlboru might, nave lieeu it, fui-neai in tueir ellorln to have a hill of dciurinlluu itassod.

Assemblyman William liyan, of Wcstehcs- ter, disagreed with the report. Mr.

Mulone, ot Brooklyn, who Introduced the bill, said ho didn't believe tho committee was sincere In Its action. Tho senate committee had reported a similar bill mvorably he said, and It must have been evident to every member that telephone subscribers In Now York and Brooklyn were at the mercy of a grasping monopoly and subject to extortionate charges. lie had been told, he said that the opponents of tbo bill had a dcop-lait scheme to allow the bill to pass in tho sonait and to havo It killed in the House, llo uske( unanimous consent to Introduce, a petition telephone subscribers asking for the pass: Of tbe bill. The petition was sent to the desk in two Immense rolls of wrapping-paper, ilr. Malone said It contained, boiwevu lour thousand -and nvo thousand' tames.

Chairman Inquired why tho petition had boon held back so long when thu committee had waited several days for just this which had been promised woekt, gborcrc. William Hyau wanted tho bill recommitted. admitted, In answer to Mr. Martin's query, he would prefer a state nouunissloil lather than the ones provided tor ID iho bill But ho thought some relief should bo given to (the telephone subscribers at once. John Connolly said tho present telephone ratos wore outrageous and oppressive.

While ho would havo preferred a bin which ilxed the price or rentals at a reasonable rate, he layered tho present measure because It woultl give relief this year. Tho general sentiment or tho Legislature that Frank uardiuer, secretary or tho Telephone Subscribers' Association, has not been sincere in his long-con- tlnued newspaper agitation or the subject, was shown when tuo adverse report, was agreed to by a vote or 7fi 10 io.

The Senate wanted to rnlso salaries nl around, too, but the Assembly refused to con. sent to this grub, ana the mitigation of penalties Is tho only change In tho original bill. The bill allowing the Municipal Commission to pluco the new city Hall in city llntl Park, llryiint Park or nny other place Is having a cities th Sonal uommlttoc on col. Brown, tho Chairman of tho committee, favors tho selection of City Hall I'arl: as tho only proper site lor the new building.

Ills understood hero Mint a majoilty of the members or the commission favor city Hall I'ark, but tho Legislature will take no chances, It Is said, and when the bill Is finally acted upon it HIM DO amended so mat, no such ridiculous sehemo u.s moving thu uliy Hull up to iiryitnt i uri; will bo (jlven un opportunity to make trouble. Assemblyman Connolly's bill allowing property to bo condemned fur street openings or Improvements on ten Uuvs 1 notice, which was as llrat believed lo bo a drive at Oswald Oitcndorfer's xtant-XrlHiim llulldlng, has been shorn ot Us obloctlonnblo features and Is now in general orders lu the Senate.

Flower would veto tho bill in its present form as un. constitutional, but the Senate passed it bv a vote or au to a. They amended it, however. In two very Important particulars. The pay of delegates was iticroased irom 1)15 to 410 a day and tho three woman suffragist dele- Kates wore shut cut.

Mr. McCarren started the attack on tho woman's rights movement aud tho fair sex had but foebio deiendors.

Henry Work to recover (ieorge spencer, formerly cashier for Grant Ward, was tho llrsl witness called. Lawyer Joseph H. Clsonte. for tho prosecution, examined him in regard to tho vouchers or coupons lound by Col. Jnmcs among the papers or Grant Ward six years alter the failure, and which convinced him ol tho alleged fact that his supposed friend, Mr.

Work, bud defrauded him. The witness tes- tltled that there wero eighteen coupons, amounting to Tula os part of the $1,000,000 which Work had loid James wus needed by Ornnt Ward for their last contract, nnd a portion ot which Col. James had taken. I'lio witness further tlllcd that tho plnlntllT had received per ecnt. per month on bis Investments, while Work and Warner had drawn 'M per cent, per month on the same investments.

Vouchers for imo.ooo wero Ihen produced, being second part, or the si.ono.uou contract. The interest ou these vouchers or coupons varied from to IIS per ecnt. per month. They wero Indorsed--J. H.

or simply Lawyer Choato handed the vouchers to Iho Jury und asked them to mile the similarity ol tho Iwo Ws." Tho defense objected to tho Jury seeing them, but Patterson overruled iho object ion so long us their attention was not specifically called to the Initials. Lawyer Cnoate Immediately turned to the Jury nnd said, Uon't foruot lo notice tho similarity or the Initials." Ex- Judge Noun linvls became very Indignant. The Judye reproved Lawyer Clioatc, while the latter, having mado his point, smiled benignly on Judge and Jury. George c. Holt, personal receiver for Ferdinand Ward, was the next witness.

He Iden- tllled certain papers which had passed throiiihhls hands as receiver. Mr. Spencer wns tuen recalled lor cross-examination. Ho said that when Col. James visited the onice of Jullon T.

Davles and was shown the Grant ward papers he had apparently a thorough understanding ns to what he wished to see. Iho lino ot cross-oxnnilnntlon adopted by tho defense was to show that Col. Jnmcs was aware or tho contents of the papers and hud not come across Mr. Work's alleged betrayal by accldonl. The witness testified that Col.

James carried memorandum and asked iho witness to produce tho various vouchcis according to their dates. Tho case Is still on. OWNS ITS OWN FERUIES NOW.

THEIR APPOINTMENT DUK TO OWKEBS' OBSTINACY. In In Hold Public Hearing)) iinrt Determine Wllothor tlin rinnnutl Al-o Wltothcr llio (irnvrnl 1'lnn Should Ito Adnptrd nnd Wlmt Mn.v lie Done with It. The Itapltl Tranlt commissioners applied In the General Term of thv btipreme court lust February tor the appointment of three commissioners to determine, upon public hearing, whether tho planned underground ays- tern ought to be constructed and operated. The appointment or those commissioners, wus provided for lu tholiapU Transit law ot lam. After several weeks of energetic canvassing among tho property-owners on the projected routes was found that consents representing only one-halt the required amount ot property for the west sldo and bin one-tenth for the east side had beon obtained.

The objecting property-owners claimed that the road would do material damage to their property. Yesterday the General Term granted the application, handing down a decision written by Justice Van Urttnt, with Justices Patterson nnd O'Urlen concurring. The opinion covers thirty-nine pages of foolscap. It Is profucrd by a recital of tho appointment ot tho Hoard of HaplJ Transit Kaiiroml Com- mlssloners under tho Laws of 1N1U, tlie presentation of their report to the: common Council, Its adoption by that body, their elTorts to procure tho necessary consents irom abutting property-owners and their tull- ure lo do so, and llielr present application (or the appointment of three coniniistloncis to determine, nfter public hearing all parties Interested, whether such mill-end ciL-ht to be constructed and operated. The vui lou.s objections urged by several couiiiel ulio np- peartd lo oppose this motion ore sol forth.

Most or them he upon the claim that the general plan or construction adopted by the eommlfeslonei-fe, which Is tlio busls of the present application, is radically and tutnlly detective In that It does not show us to a large part ol the contomplnted route whether the railroad Is to be an underground road, an elevated road or a depressed roud; that It does not show tho manner of construction of so much ot the proposed railroad as is to bo constructed, the extent to which tho streets and public places aro to be encroached upon, and llmt it does not show the mode-or operatlou, and therefore it floes not (uraish the ma- terlals.uccoseaj-y 101- the (ormu(lon of an Intelligent opinion as to tho dnl6lcncy of the proposed railroad. It was also urged by some of the counsel that no proper application was made to the property-owners for their consents because I he plans of construction were not presented to eacli property-owner before he was asked to give his consent. The Court, holds that the latter proposition has no merit In that it never could havo boon within the contemplation of tlio Legislature that every property-holder should huvo presented to him maps and reports aud statements showing all that ihu commissioners had concluded upon before any valla application tor his consent to tho projected plan could be made. the claim that tho plan its to tho lino north of the Harlem lilver convoys no Information whatever to the property-owner tho court says: it Is to bo ooserved that tho Impossible Is not to bo required. It Is suHlclont If the plans adopted by tho com- sloners shall disclose as mr as reasonably practicable to what extent the streets aro to bo encroached upon, it appears by chapter 1H5, laws ot isuu, that the grades or the streets and avenues buyond the Harlem lilvor havo not yet been llxed and that they aro not required to bo ilxed until within two and a hair years of Jan.

1, i.vjl." HAS to the failure to locauj stations, tho Court says: "That It was necessary for tlio commissioners to locate these stations seems to bo negatived by thu views or the court lu the Kings County case." Tho extent to which the tracks will bo doll- nllely spread, the court says, Is Ilxed In tho report, and it appears that the stations aro not lo bo located In iho strnnts, but that access to tho railway Is to be gullied through private property. As to tlio claim that tlio mannor or construction on Fourth avenue, above Fourteenth street and all along the streets above Thirty-fourth street, Is lott wholly undetermined, tho Court says thh Is entirely unfounded. From thn hmguagn or tho report In respect to these localities the property-owner Is warned tbui iho methods of excavation most detrimental to him may bo excavation from tlio surfaco. Tho worst feature In respect of tho excavation Is placed before tho court, and that Is all that Is required. Tho opinion concludes ns follows: "Wo think, therefore, upon a consideration of those general plans which havo beon submitted to the Court upon this application lor tho appointment of coinmls- sjlonors that they comply with tlio provisions ol the Itapl.i Transit aet, and on.

able tho property owners to determine In general way UK to the extent to which tlielr property may bo encroached upon. Wo aro or opinion, therefore, that tho motion should bo granted."

Alto- wllh tho gorgeousnoss of Percy Andorson's London costumes and tho effects iromlsed by the electricians, The Hobbcr ot the lihlni!" ought to make nn Impression.

The plot, or the opera 13 as follows: There are two (icrrnnn buroulcs and ns the scene ipens, thadauglit'rot one baron Is engaged lo the son of another. A llerco robber, Wal- leiiinr, is In lovo with tho daughter, nnd neots her irequontly by appointment, she loves elm and hates the noble youth to whom she Is engaged. The robber captures tho uolileman while be Is on tho way to the ot his ludy-loro, and takes his place and n-oceeds to the of tho baron, whoso diiunhtcrls lamenting having to marry the ion 01 the other baron. He enters tho town with his brigand troupe it-ranged to personate the characters In the suitor tho original young suitor. Compllca- llons follow, and Dually young girl attached lo the robber's camp betrays everything In order to stop the marriage, for she loves her nusier.

Tho swlich-bourd nlouo coat TlKwc who have heard the opera think It very superior. liarrymore, besides being nn actor, has written several plays, ol which "Nadleska'- was perhaps the most successful. The cast has not yet been determined. It is probable that a change will bo mado in the title ot the new theatre danger nnd Hay. man are building opposite the Metropolitan Opera-IIouse.

Tho namo originally selected was "The Umpire," and many or tho an- nouiiceincnts which tho management, havo sent oul born luls Utle. This name has never been very cordially liked by either ono ot tho managers, and yesterday there wns a consultation which re- sulte'l in changing the name of tho house to iho Savoy, und It will bo known by that tltlo horcatier. The objection to tho namo originally selected was that It hud been associated wllh the cheap concert gardens ou tho extreme east and west sides of tho town, while the nowspapcra are. tilled with advertisements of Kmplro Corsets, lawn mowers, clothes wringers nnd similar things. Tho name savoy, however, Is suggestive In the public mind ot a Ilrst-class Iheatro 111 London and a handsome hotel In Mils city.

Ileyond this tho name Is distinctive and euphonious; hence Its adoption. Mr. Banger, by tho way, bus completed his arrrngeinoiits for producing "New Wings" in this country, and In all likelihood Mr. Dayman will bo In pnrinei-nhlp with him In this undertaking. Tho play is now running in London, wlioro It ranks as about tho rnosi, buecenstin production or the season, except Oscar Wilde's piny, Lady Wlndermero's Kan." The latter Is the drama which was no blitorly scored by tlio London papers after Its production, and It aroused groat deal of discussion In tho Hsu capital.

In response lo a call Mr. Wlldo walked out and addressed the audience with a lighted cigarette In his hand, and most or his address was a rnoro or less severe denunciation of newspaper crlllcs. Dosplio the opposition to tho play, It developed Into a strong moneymaking success. It will not Ira pioilucod in this country until early next season. Mr.

Aronson Is going back to high-class muslo again nt Iho Casino, his experiment in farce comedy not having proved of permanent value to tho house. Dnclo Uelcstln was a popular success, but tho people who havo gono to thn Camo for BO many yenrr, on ao count of tho music, havo not beon satisfied with CelcBtln." Tho next production at this house will therefore bo on higher piano than that or the pleco now running there. The now opera Is by muslo has always been very popular In this country. It has been christened A child or Fortune." Tho original name was Tho Sunday Clilld," but Mr. Aronson has changed it as above.

There Is more or loss or objocilonon the part or the chorus to abandoning their nli-y cos- tumos and adopt tho costumes which the now opera calls tor, but the edict of the. manager In this matter Is itnal, and the chorus Is to appear In kills und Beoteli plaids. Laura Schlnnor Mapleson has been engaged for tho now opera, aud so havo Hnssoit.Tho tenor, and Pruotto. the baritone. Mrs.

Ma- ploson came to this country orlgnally with tho Idea or performing in an Kngllah opera company or her own, but evorsthmg did not move smoothly. Hence her acceptance ot tho Casino engagement. There cannot be much question concerning Paul M. Potter's familiarity with tho subject dealt with lu "Tho American Minister."

Across the Potomac." the new war drama to bo predticed at Proctor's Theatre on Kaslnr Monday, Is now In active rehearsal on tho stage of that house from 30 o'clock in the morning until 4 o'clock in the afternoon dally.

An unusually handsoian display of sconory nnd ncoessorles Is pronilaed for tho new product ion. Mr. llobort Milliard, who will take a leading rfilo lu the now production, has arrived trom Chicago and Is re- hoarslng with the company. Thoro aro some innnagors who believe that anything that Is before tho publlo will bear dramatization, no matter It It be wholly lacking In tlioao qualities which constitute a successful modern play. When Hobort Elsmere attained such a wldo popularity that even theatrical managers who wore not addicted to religious roaalng heard or it, ono of them straightway put It on the stage, where It proved a deserved and ample failure.
