The Governor Cuts State Appro'
priations Two Millions
And A Quarter.
RESISTED GREAT PRESSURE.

He Keeps Expenditures Within the Es
timated Revenues Of the State. and
Says No Institution Affected viii Be
Seriously Crippled.
Harrisburg, July Ex-Governor Stone
has been the recipient of many letters
of congratulation and commentator
for his recent exhibition Of courage In
welding his veto axe, as he did in the
treatment of the appropriation bills
passed by the legislature which ad-
journed a few weeks ago. 1t certainly
required force of character of an ex
traordinary kind to Withstand the pres
sure, political, personal and otherwise,
which was brought to bear upon him to
favor various appropriations which. In
his Judgment, should not be made OF
should be reduced, in view Of the other
demands upon the state treasury.
THE GOVERNOR WENT TO WORK.
After carefully reviewing all the bills
before him, the governor rolled up his
sleeves, locked himself up in his pri.
him, determined to act solely in the in
terest of the citizens of the state at
large and regardless of the importuni-
ties to which he had been subjected
ever since the legislature adjourned
The result was that Governor Stone
has saved the state exactly $2,250, 900
In making these cuts he does not
deny that he was obliged to scale down
or absolutely strike out appropriations
for deserving institutions.
AS TO STATE REVENUES.
THE estimate of the revenue of the
state for the year beginning June L.
1901 as made in December by the au-
ditor general and state treasurer, said
Governor Stone was $13 100000 There
was no estimate made by these officials
for the following year, but from all the
information mat i could gather, did
\ot think, and do not think, that we
re justified in expecting more than
2,500, 900 for the second year, making
(otal of 5,500,000 for the two years
timing June 1, 1901. Adding to this
10000 of surplus revenue for the
two years, 5000, 900 saved from the

CRESCEUS FAILS
To Lower His Record, Thurs
day at Poughkeepsie.
Weather and Track Conditions I'm
favorabIe--Does Mile in 206 IA.
Great Racing at Buffalo Grand Circuit. Rain
Spells Dover Races.

POughkeepsie, n. Y, Aug. S.-About
1000 people were disappointed in the
exhibition by Cresceus at the Hudson
River Driving park, this afternoon,
when, paced by a running horse, and
driven by his owner, George H.
Ketcham, the champion went his mile
in 2.O6A. He started shortly after
o'clock. after Mr.. Ketcham had given
him three warminS-up heats in PAS.
80 and 2.17. On the trial, the running
horse picked him up near the quarter,
which Cresceus made in 81, seconds.
He went to the half in 1.03. to the
quarters in 1854 and to the wire
in 2.O6A There was faint applause
when the time was posted.
Mr.. Ketcham said to The Associated
Press correspondent: My horse did
the best he could under the conditions
and although the time seems slow. he
was more distressed than he has been
after any mile he has gone this sea
son.
Neither the track nor the weather
was favorable to record breaking
speed. The track was soft and | was
obliged to take the second horses posi-
ton all the way. the pole being to"
badly cut up TO follow. The air was
depressingly muggy and lacking in
those qualities thut ale essential to
fast trotting.
THE time is in no sense a reflection
on my horses condition and think he
will be at his best when he meets The
Abbot ut Brighten Beach. Thursday.
Cresccus time. today, established
new trotting record for this track. The
previous record was 21c4, made by
Little Dick last year.

Following the meeting of the police

matter was fully discussed. another

suit the following was given out for
publication:
AT a meeting of the police commit

You are directed to take such as

The language of the above instruc-
tioiIS ~ marshal ouiin ana Deputy
Marshal Scannell is explicit enough and
needs no explanation. The enforce
ment of the law has been put up to
the police committee. and that body
has taken no half way measures but
said to the police: Make Lewiston a
dry city and keep it So
1t is understood that the new state OF
affairs will go into effect at 10 O'Clock
Saturday night, after which hour it
will be supposed to be impossible To
buy beers or liquors in this city.
There is to be no let up. When the

given t. close up and stay closed.
Now, just how far this will be car
ried or how long il will last is prob
lematical. The police force is of good
size and the marshal and deputy mar
shall are hustlers. yet the places to be
looked after are many and it will keep
someone busy to keep them closed after
