APPEAL FOR BARGE CANAL
FRIENDS OF PROJECT HOPE TO GET
oDELL'S CONSENT TO A VOTE on
SHORT ROUTE NEXT FALL.

Albany March 20 (SpeciaD.-Governor Odell had
private talk this afternoon with George Clinton
aired Haines and Frank Brainard of Buffalo
regarding the Improvement of the canals of the
state.
vessrs Clinton, Haines and Brainard represented
.he Merchants Association of Buffalo and the
canal Association Of Greater New-York. the mem
bers Of which are deeply interested in the move
rnenr for the improvement of the canals of the
erate Earlier in the day there had been a meet
ing az the Hotel Ten Eyck which they attended
IF cutie body of men desirous Of seeing further
improvement OF the canals Of the State Among
those present We're John D. Herman. of Utica
president OF the state Commerce Conventions
Frank : Gardner, Of Ne7-York one of the secre-
rsries OF the convention. John Cunneen of Buff
falo another secretary ex-senator George B. Sloan
and John !. Mott, Of Oswego and Herbert Berber
Franklin Quinby, Alfred Romer E A Allen. a
" Paige. 5 c. Mead and ". r. Corwine. of New
York
There was considerable disappointment EXPRESSED
that Governor OdeH had not favored the barge
canal recommended by Governor Roosevelt's Canal
Advisory Commission. rather than the compl+tior
Of the Seymour plan OF improvement, under which
10000 has already been expended. and which in
IS estimated can be carried out by expenditure
The suggestion was made that possibly Governor
Oden could he induced 10 consent TO the subnis-
short barge canal from Oswego on Lake 0nfaria Ita
70 the Hudson River and from Lake Ontario at
Olcott 10 Buffalo on Lake Erie. The length of
this canal would be $3S miles and its cost Of con
struction would be $685. 755 which would have
20 be added the cost OF improving the Champlain
Canal which would bring up the total cost of this
plan Of canal Improvement TO S56 S6 1872 from which
would have TO be deducted he alue of abandoned
lands. and this would leave the actual OF this
smaller barge canal S54. .70S. .27e ~
Il was argued al the conference that a barge
canal would decrease the cost of canal transporra
ton 90 per cent, and that il would be wise TO ex-
pend the large sum necessary TO build such
canal. There considerable opnositioo bou-
ever 70 shortening the barge canal.
state Engineer Fond has reported to Governor
0den thai the cost of barge canal from Buffalo
20 the Hudson River would he sc. .5S2 446 but the
Governor has shown that the interest on the canal
debt must also be considered, and. therefore, that
such barge canal would cost nearly 100000 600
The GoCvernOr derived the impression thar thev
favored the construction of a barge canal ana
his reasons for faVOrin the completion Of me
100000 plan. or smaller canal plan. Finally the
Governor and his visitors were interrupted in their

ference terminated for the day. The Governor will

Corporation LAW BILLS PASSED
SENATOR RRAcKETrs MEASURES GET MOE,
THAN PARTY VOTE IN THE SENATE.

SENATOR RRAcKETT's MEASURES GET MORE
THAN \ PARTY VOTE IN THE SENATE.
Albany March 20 (SpeciaD-The Senate passed
today Senator Brackets bills lberalizng the cor
poration laws of the State These bills make il
easier for corporations to organize and transact
business in this State. The bills apply TO mort
cages. capital stock and other securities of
poration. ANY increase reduction in the capital
stock of a corporation must be authorized by the
unanimous consent Of the stockholders by vote
Of the stockholders holding at least majority of
the stock of the corporation One of the bills says
that every holder of capital stock not fully paid
in any stock corporation shall be personally liable
10 its creditors TO amount equal 10 the amount
unpaid on the stock held by him for debts of the
corporation contracted while such stock held
by him.
Another Of the bills authorizes a stockholder to
transfer his stock to any person or persons for
the purpose of Vestng in him or them the right
TO vote thereon for time not exceeding five
The bills were carefully considered by the Repub-
lican Senators in a conference upon several occa-
sions and carefully perfected The measures were
pa ssed by vote of 81 and 80 to thus
ms more than a party vote. 1t is believed that
many of the large trusts organized under New
Jersey and West Virginia laws will transfer their
chief offices TO this State soon these bills
become laws. The Senate Committee Taxation
and Retre9chment reported favorably to-day the
h private bankers.

Leavenworth. Kan March ?0-Two convicts of
the Lansing Penitentary We're wounded last night
by the guards who went down into the pen!tentiary
mine subdue 2S4 prisoners who entered the coll
iery Monday and refused to until their
demands for better food were granted.
All the conviCts run down in various parts of
the workings b. heavy detail of guards who
descended the shaft shortly before midnight. A
voey fired when the bottom was reached, with
the intention OF intimidating the mutneers. II is
supposed that stray bullets hit of the convics
Neither was seriously hurt, however and the voley
efectually subdued the others, who were almost
famished and apparently glad TO get off easily.
They scattered through the workings. leaving the
fifteen guards whom they had overpowered and
held as hostages. The latter were quickly hoisted
TO the surface and the work of rounding the
victs began As fast they were caught they
taken up and before morning all were securely
locked in their cells at the penitentiary. They had
been practically without food for twenty four hours
and at daybreak were given only cup OF coffee
and few slices of bread.
