MR.. ODELL AT ALBANY.
GOVERNOR RETURNS FROM TRIP-WEsT-
ERN PROSPERITY-FUTU PLANS.

Albany. June (SpeciaD.-Governor Odell, ac-
companied by Mrs. Odell his father, ex-Mayor
Benjamin B. Odel of Newburg; his sister, his
daughter Estelle, Senator Ellsworth. President
pro tenn of the Senate, and Major H. & BIRD
military secretary, arrived here from Montreal
early this morning. Before reaching Montreai
the Governor and those with him had gone
through a large proportion of the Southern
States across the Far Western States to the
coast of California. and thence through the
States of Utah. Colorado Nebraska and Min
nesota, on the homeward way.
The Governor was looking in rugged health.
and said that he felt that he had had good
vacation and now could go to work. He has
been absent from the State since April 90 The
Governor said:
Everywhere in the West are evidences Of busi-
ness prosperity. Even in the deserts people
are at work. and soon as these deserts are
irrigated there will be prosperity there as we'll
a elsewhere in the country.
The Governor said he should go to Peekskill
tomorrow inspect the State camp and then
Brooklyn Friday to review the parade of
Sunday school children. Then he will return to
Albany. and expects to make the Executive
Mansion his home for most of the summer.
GOVERNORS POLITICAL PLANS
Republican officials anxious to know
whether not the Governor while in the West
had come to any decision about being candi-
date for denomination by the Republican party
for Governor, but the fact was made known
this afternoon that the Governor is not yet
ready to speak that topic
Late this afternoon the Governor was visited
by Colonel George w. Dunn. the chairman of
the Republican State Committee, and, naturally,
political conditions in this State would be dis
cussed at such conference. The establishment
of headquarters by the Democratic State Com
mittee in Albany interests leading Republican
politicians but thus far this proceeding has not
alarmed them. In their opinion, David B. Hill
can have little hope of electing the Democratic
State ticket. and only makes the demonstration
he has here to get control OF the machinery OF
the Democratic party for his in 1904.
The Governor when inquiry made in re-
gard to the filing of the vacancies the Su-
preme Court bench. caused by the deaths of
Miles Beach and George p. Andrews. said he
should not fill these vacancies before Monday
next It is presumed that while in New-York
in the latter part Of the week, he will learn the
fitness for Judge of several candidates for the
appointments.
The Governor brought with him from the
West a large number of photographs. One OF
these pictures showed the Governor and those
with him seated in carriages at Inspiration
Point looking upon a section of the Yosemite

Judge Taft who, according to the paper says
the Vatican is evidently animated by a desire
TO arrive at a solution agreeable to the United
States as the relations between the Church
and Washington have become daily more cord

II don't think my mission Will faci1tate the
establishment of American legation at the

Of nermanent relations, while isolated cases ike
the present may be solved by special missions
The paper ends by pointing out that the ar
rival at Rome of the Taft mission proves that
the great American Republic, notwithstanding
its emfnently businesslike politics. appreciates
the moral force of the Vatican, preferring TO
recognize it openly instead of facing fresh DIM
