GOTERNOR'S PROBABLE ACTION
REASONS WHY HE IS EXPECTED TO DIsAP-
PROVE OF BRIDGE MEASURE AF-
FECTING WEST-ST.

Albany May , (SpeciaD D.-Governor Odell. it
is said, may not return from Newburg before
Tuesday or Wednesday, but it is believed that
he will employ his time there in the preparation
of two state papers of considerable Importance.
These are his comments upon Senator Raines's
bill empowering the New-York and New-Jersey
Bridge Company to build an elevated approach
four and half miles in length along West-st..
in New-York City, and upon Assemblyman Cos
tellos Employers Liability act.
There has been great pressure upon the Gov
ernor to induce him to sign the New-York and
New-Jersey Bridge Company's bill. some of it
coming. it is hinted, from prominent Republi-
cans There are those who have argued that
the city of New-York would obtain such ad-
vantages from the construction of a great bridge
across the Hudson River that it would not mat
ter if nothing paid for the franchise.
But the Governor could not but have been i'm
pressed by the arguments made in opposition to
the bill by Edward NJ. Shepard and Alexander
f. Orr of the Rapid Transit Commission; by
Corporation Counsel Whaen and by Horace T.
Deming of the City Club. Mr.. Shepards argu-
ment was especially strong, since he dwelt upon
the careful way in which the interests of New
York City had been guarded when the contract
for the underground railroad recently made
showing that responsible bidders for the work
were obtained, and the risks of a perpetual
franchise were avoided. Mr.. Shepard dwelt
with especial insistence upon the danger OF
granting a franchise of which no use would be
made beyond holding it for sale and preventing
the city from making bargain for the con-
struction of the bridge and approaches with
some other corporation ready to build the
structure.
1t is believed that AttOrney-General Davies
has submitted to Governor Odell a carefully
prepared brief upon the constitutional points in
volved in the bill. 1t is doubtful. for instance,
if the State has the right under the constitu-
tion to deprive the local authorities of New
York City of the right to dispose of the fran
chise for the construction of a railroad along
West-st.
Governor Odell, ever since he took the oath of
office has shown careful consideration for the
rights of the city of New-York. No mandatory
acts have been passed. The Charter Revision
act was no invasion of New-York's home rule
rights The Governor would not give his con-
sent to the passage of a State Police act, which
would have deprived New-York of the control
of its police force.
1t is not believed therefore. that Governor
Odel will sign the NewYork and New-Jersey
Bridge act
AssembIyman Costello's Employers Liability
act il is thought by most Republican members
of the Legislature here will also meet with the
Governors dsfavOr since its terms are so broad
to involve many persons who could not be
classed as either employers or employed"
II is a measure favored by railroad employees.
but opposed by other labor organizations.

ROYALTY'S GREATNESS.
London RagamuHins Treated to
Christmas Dinners by the Duke
and Duchess of York.

There are not two warmer hearts in
England than those or the duke and
duchess of York. Every Christmas some
hundreds of poor. hungry little
wretches have a. least one hearty meal
provided for them entirely by their
royal highnesses. Last year the poor
children in certain parish in the east
of London were thus regaIed, and, TO
add to their enjoyment, the duke and
duchess went themselves and said a
few CHEEKY, heartfelt words to each Of
the little ones
Going up TO one urchin, who was
looking very solemn and somewhat SAD,
the duke said to him:
Nov. my little man. why such dis
ma face? Let me see if | can't do some
thing to make you happier. Would
you like some more pudding, eh?"
YES, stolidIy, but very politely, said
the urchin.
"les, whatG What ough. you to say,
my little fellow? You"
Yes. if can get it," replied the
youth, without moving a muscle of his
face.
His royal highness later went up to
seven-year-o'd boy who appeared to
be in more than ordinary pain, Judging
from his sorrowful, troubled face.
"You are not happy little man, are
YOU? said the duke, most kindly.
NO, air." said the youth. crying.

she sought blindness from the blow

ness of her slight figure, so still and
unresistant in its misery, might have

straight and aggressive, with flaming
cheeks.
