MANY AMENDMENTS REJECTED Senate to Make Such Changes Only as Are Approved by the Governor ?One Concession Granted on Trolley Extensions. Albany, N. Y.?The Merritt Public Utilities bill passed the Assembly, 2very one of the 140 members present voting for it. Thirteen amendments were offered to the measure by the Independence League and Democratic members. They were all defeated by a party vote and the bill put through in the form approved by the Governor. Most of the amendments offered were drawn by Attorney-General Jackson, and embodied the principles of the Independence League Public Utilities bill introduced by Assemblyman Foley. The bill now goes to the Senate. The first amendment, calling for the election of the commissioners by a vote of the people, was offered by Assemblyman Robert Wagner. In support of his amendment Mr. Wagner said: The principle of centralization of power and government by the commissions is in direct contradiction of the theories of our republican- form of government." Assemblyman A. E. Smith offered an amendment calling for the appointment of the New York City Commission by the Mayor of the city. The provisions of the bill, which prevent New YcVk City from constructing and operating its own lighting plant without the consent of the commission, were stricken out by amendments which Assemblyman Stern sought to have adopted. Assemblyman Kellel sought to amend the bill to make the AttorneyGeneral the counsel of the commission. Assemblyman Glynn, of Monroe, offered an amendment preventing the proposed commissions from interfering in any way with railroad employes during the time of labor troubles. \ Assemblyman Stnatton, of Chenango, offered an amendment which prohibits any holding company from acquiring stock in a public service corporation. Mr. Harowitz also offered an amendment against the formation of mergers. An amendment to relieve New York City from the burden of maintaining the upstate commission was offered by Assemblyman J. A. Foley. Assemblyman Bohan offered .an amendment prohibiting a railroad corporation from engaging In any other business than that of operating a railroad. \ Assemblyman Dobbs spoke in favor of court review and offered an amendment to that end. .The only Republican who attacked the bill in the debate was Assemblyman Prentice. He opposed the control of the corporations by the commissions. A vote ranging from flfty-one to fifty-four yeas and ninety-eight nays was recorded against each of the Democratic caucus amendments, and then Mr.Cuvelier got his amendments before the House. They were rejected by a vote of yeas, 19; nays, 119. The roll call resulted in a unanimous vote for the bill. When it was announced James Oliver rose and with a low bow toward ihs reporters' seats, said: "I extend my congratulations to the press of the State for their success in passing this bill." Simultaneously with the passage 3f the bill through the _ Assembly :ame the news that Governor Hughes lad consented to an amendment, ivhich will probably be made by the Senate Committee on Judiciary. This amendment deals with trolley extensions in the interior of the. State and was the result of frantic and almost :earful appeals to the Governor by capitalists in Interior New York. Under the bill no trolley extensions :an be made from the time of the passage of the' bill until they have seen considered and approved by the Public Service Commissioners, after :hey take office and begin work on July 1. At the same time there are nany trolley companies that have ob:ained consents of property owners, md of the State Railroad Commission, which have issued bonds and jorrowed the money for the extensions. All this work would have to De held in abeyance. Governor rlughes for a long time refused to make any concessions in this or any jther matter. He felt that if ne once fielded it wouid be an entering wedge, and he would have great dif lcuity in protecting tne bill against )ther amendment! Damage No Bar to Business.

Queen Victoria gave birth to a son, who becomes heir to the throne of Spain. He will be named Alfonso and have the title henceforth of Prince of the Asturlas. The child is described as being a robust blond and as having his mother's complexion. It is the first time in many generations that the first child of a King and Queen of Spain has been a male. Mother and son are doing well. The birth occurred at 12.45 o'clock p. m. The announcement was immediately conveyed to the waiting officials within and the crowds outside the palace, who received the glad tidings with feelings of enthusiasm and emotion. That the Queen had been blessed with a son?a male heir to the throne ? was no less welcome tnan tne nappy event itseir. The formal announcement of the sex of the royal Infant was made by the Camarara Mayor, or Mistress of the Robes, to Premier Maura, who formally communicated the fact to the official company in attendance. The Premier in announcing the birth used the words: "Gentlemen, it Is a prince." , The Infanta IJulalia was at the King's side as he entered the room, accompanying the Camarara Mayor carrying a huge silver tray, upon ' which was lying the newly born royal . baby, covered with delicate lace garments. The scene was most impressive. Premier Maura at once advanced, and, with some hesitation, ' relieved the Mistress of the Robes of her precious load. Then, bearing the I tray, the Premier proceeded slowly to the centre of the room, where all present crowded round, anxious to obtain a glimpse of the child, which . *as presented to one after the other in their order of court precedence. When the curiosity of all those present was satisfied cl'.ebabe was handed back to the Mistress of the Robes and by the latter was given to the royal nurse, who Immediately returned to the side of the Queen. As the nurse disappeared into the royal apartments a roar of cheering could be heard from the outside of the palace. Business had been suspended for hours previous to the announcement of the child's birth. An Immense multitude gathered in the vicinity of the palace, and- when the royal standard, of >ed apd gold, fluttered up to the peak of the flagstaff on the Punta de Diamente, making known that a prince of the Asturlas was born, a great shout of joy went up from the assembled masses. Immediately afterward a salute of twenty-one guns carried the news to the most remote confines of the city and the inhabitants of the surrounding i country. As the sixteenth report re- < sounded, for fltteen guns oniy wouia have been fired to announce the birth of a girl, the men, women and children waiting in the streets and on the balconies and roofs gave voice to their satisfaction, and soon the whole city was ringing with cries of "Long live the Prince!" "Long live the Queen!" and "Long live the King!" Simultaneously the public buildings blossomed out, as if by magic, with the Spanish colors and, singing, dancing and otherwise rejoicing, almost the entire population of the city began streaming in the direction of the palace. The Queen insists that she will herself nurse the child, despite the opposition of the royal household to such a departure from custom, as she desires to insure its good health. The Queen was the first to kiss the baby, and she was followed by the two grandmothers, Princess Beatrice of Battenberg and Maria Christina, the Dowager Queen of Spain. Decrees were issued ordering a three days' national holiday throughout Spain. The baby prince weighs 3960 grams, which is equal to eight and three-quartbr pounds. The Cabinet drew up and presented to King Alfonso for his signature decrees transferring the title of heir presumptive irom rrince quanta vt. Bourbon to the new-born prince. Queen Victoria, the mother of the royal infant born in Madrid, was married to King Alfonso at Madrid on May 31, 1906, amid scenes of the greatest splendor, follpwed by the horror of a bomb explosion which killed scores of people and narrowly missed the royal coach in which their Majesties were returning from church. ? * ROOSEVELT TO THE KltfG.

The trial was marked r< by much display of bitterness on the ei part of a score of women. They cx- K pressed their .disapproval of the ver- is ilct In direct and forceful terms, and pi one indignant matron was applauded when she exclaimed: "It just goes fli to show what a woman who's said in to be pretty can do with a trial board ai :omposed entirely of men.

She said it was only what she fc aad expected, and Intimated that 1he tc charges were the result of "spite d< work," and she further expressed the 01 jpinion that there "are a lot of .leal- h< jus women cats in Chardon." Asked ti for an explanation, Miss Gray said she could talk if she wanted to, but v< ;he fact was she didn't. The sig- oi liflcance of her statement, however, hi nay lie in the fact that Miss Gray hi s conceded by one-half of. the ;>opu- ai lation of Chardon, at leastf, to be the te prettiest young woman in the town, ai There were six charges in all u Igamst tne young reacaer. r um, ui p< course, came the allegation that she d< frequently raised her skirts a few U] nches in adjusting her garters.

C1 Five children, ranging from seven p] :o thirteen years of age, were called, hi is witnesses, but they proved of no ivail, because they recited their testi- ai nony as if they were reciting a fa- ]0 niliar lesson to Miss Gray. a Miss Grsy was easy and smiling ai )n the stand.
