ALBANY'S BIG DAY.
Some Legislation Which Is Important
 New York State.


 New York State.
 ALBANY, May a.-The Worth charities bill was officially vetoed by Governor Nor ton. and a copy of the veto was given to a deputy clerk of tho assembly represent ing Clerk Baxter.
 The Platt men arc wild with rage. but are still claiming that the veto does not stand, and that tho bill has become law because the message did not reach the assembly before its adjournment for the day.
 It is evident that the Platt men will fight the legality of tho veto. The veto Is based on the fact that tho bill is bad legislation. The governor has thus taken the bolder stand and has ignored oonsti- tutional questions altogether.
 The Percy-Gray racing bill and the Wild code amendment were both defeated in the senate on final passage. Tho Gray bill was lost by vote of 13 yeas to 6 nays. IT votes being necessary for It's pas

MUST PUT UP.
ThOSeWho Want to Visit Europe
in Future
Will Have to Pay Higher Steam
ship Rates For
A Giant Pool of Steamship
Lines Formed.
ALL RATES TO GO UP
But Steerage Rates to Be Raised
First.
ALL RATES TO GO UP
Emigrants Shut Out of the Fast
Boats.

New YORK, Nov. 29.-A local paper
says: Before December 4, when an agree
ment which the continental steamship
lines have just ratified, goes into effect,
an increase in steerage rates will be an
nounced. This is probably one of the
most important steps ever taken by the
steamship companies toward the rgani-
cation of cast iron pool.
It is the forerunner of scheme, ac-
cording to we'll informed steamship
man, to advance first and second class
rates of Atlantic travel as we'll. It
is pooling of issues similar to the re-
Gently formed railroad combination in
which competition is put out of the ques-
ton and the profits of the companies in
terested are increased. Thus far the
American, Anchor, Cunard, Allen,
State and White Star lines are interested
in the pool 1t is understood, however,
that overtures will be made to the re-
naming trans Atlantic lines and already
the question of universal formation has
been placed before those lines.
Steerage rates will be increased from
81 to $1O. on each ticket.
The new arrangement contem plates
putting all the steamships of the pooled
companies into various classes, soma 10
be entered in a class as low as the fifth.
Such vessels as the St. Paul, St. Louis,
Campauia. Lucania, New York, Paris.
Umbria, Teutonic and Majestic will COM
prise the first class.
Steerage rates of travel on vessels
from this port will be placed at an al
most prohibitive figure. That is, where
it formerly cost from $40 to $25 to travel
on these steamers. the rate will be
raised to from $50 to $40. This is within
few dollars of the second class rates on
these steamships.
Those vessels eligible for the second
class, in which the steerage rates have
been figured on at 4 decrease of from ST.
to 50 from the first class rate are such
craft as the Esruria ank Elyria of the Gu
nard line; Adriatic and Britannia OF the
White Star line. aud Chester
of the American line. TINS
rates on those vessels will be
not less than $27, which is much higher
than the existing steerage rate on any
trans Atlantic line. The steerage voy-
ager will begin to get his transportation
| at something like reasonable rate when
! he condescends to patronize the third
class vessels of the pool.
These rates of the class of the Fur
nessia, Ethiopia aud Anchoria of the
Anchor line. Rates will be proportion
| lately reduced on these vessels aud
still greater reduction can be had by
taking passage on the vessels of the
fourth and fifth class. The former will
| be the slower boats of the Allan line, the
State of Nebraska, State of Californis
and the State Of Alabama.
