the New York state legislature are likely to pass a measure which Is destined to bring revenue to the state rather than a bill which will limit muterhilly the sale of Ibpior. There have been many conferences and at¬ tempted amendments to the lllll- Wheeler bxal optbui bill and to the Brown bill, which Is more of n reve¬ nue firodiicln;; proposition, with the end that a uilld reform measure Is looked for as the result of the almost constant bickering over tbis form of le^rlslatlon sime the early days of the I present session.
The whe<ds of legislation have not I luovtHl with excpe<liiuf sinoothiiess of I late, for tbe assembly and senate i>ass-
¦ ed over the veto of (Jovernor Wlilt I nian Items in tbe general appropria
I tion bill which lie saw lit to disap- I prove. The e.vecutlve held that the ! items were improper since they calleil for li'.nip sums nnd no ntiempt was I uiade to ltenii/,e the expenditures. [ The legislative leaders, holding that I It would be Inipossllde to Uemi/.e tbe ! amount ueeiled for tbe expenses of the ' leidslattlre and for leu'lslative commit j I tees before the nifUiey was spent. !
¦ usreed in ctiucus that the !i<'tioii of I Ihe governor was unfair, and'In tbe ' assoinbly fbe governor was overriil
den by il nniiiiinious vote. In the sen- ; ate bill two seiiiitors voted witb bim.
An Unprecedented Vote.
Never bi'fore in the history of state

vote. it takes ii t\vo-tlilrds vote to ,
I pass a bill over the bead of the gov- ,
I ernor. rsuully Ibe attempt to inusler I
' such II vote lias met witb failure.
While CJoveriior Whit man has taken the stand that he acted properly and ; that his pledge fo the people for econ 1 oniy ciiiised liiiii to yoln the Items be struck olli of the appropriutlon bill. • till majority of the meinbers of the j legislature feel that the executive made
prlstiiu or lix-attsl in a city must em- tdoy such teacher. Where a special teu'her Is not employed Instruction Is to lie given by a regular resident teacher.
I'.y a vote of HTt to 21 the nssembly defeated the Everett bill wliii li would amend the labor law by excepting from the one (lay of rest law all dairies, creameries, milk condeuseries. milk powder factories, milk sugar factories, milk shipping; factories, butter and cbei'se factories and milk iHittllng plants where the employees are not employtnl more than sixty-three hours In anv week. Ordinarily this bill would luiM' no fuither chance this yeur. bav¬ in*.' bei'ii killed in the house, where It iiriiriiiated.
