A L B A N Y , N . Y „ March 27.-Sena
H i l l of Erie county has introduced
concurrent
resolution
proposing an
amendment to t h e constitution
that
suggests an effort to be m a d e for ca­
nal Improvement next y e a r
It provides f o r e x t e n d i n g the t i m e
for the payment o f the canal debt from
eighteen years t o thirty-five years and
eliminates f r o m the constitution the
clause which prohibits the submission
to t h e people o f a proposition for the
Improvement o f t h e canals at the samo
t i m e that a constitutional amendment
is submitted.
The
object in e x t e n d i n g the time for
t h e payment o f the canal debt is to
lessen the burden o f annual payments,
The
object of the second amendment
is t o prevent the passage of a concur­
rent resolution b y any legislature from
shutting off the presentation of a ca
nal referendum bill to the people the
s a m e year.
The bill w a s r e f e r r e d to the Judiciary
committee and w i l l be reported favora
bly today. G o v e r n o r Odell has express
ed himself as f a v o r i n g the resolution
and it is e x p e c t e d that it will be
passed.
The
representatives o f the commer
cial bodies in N e w Y o r k and Buffalo

all day in their efforts to h a v e the com­
mittee on rules o f the assembly place*

today.
They had a f o r m a l demand
made in writing b y Senator D a v i s and
a number of a s s e m b l y m e n upon that
committee. T h e d e m a n d w a s ignored
The
senate b e f o r e it adjourned last
evening cleared the calendar of a great
number of bills.
Self possessed and c a l m as ever, t h e
prisoner did not flinch as the f o r e m a n
answered, "Guilty." Kocordcr Goff an­

posing sentence until a w e e k from n e x t
Monday.

Though all women had been o r d e r e d
from the courtroom when the j u r y
came in, Patrick's sister Emma a n d
Mrs.
Francis, with w h o m he b o a r d e d , <|
were in a n anteroom adjoining the en­
