MANY BILLS VETOED.
Governor Oden Applies Pruning
 Knife and Saves $I20,O0O.


 ALBANY N. Y, April 14.--Governor Odell has again applied the pruning knife to appropriations and in batch of 128 bills vetoed has cut out $120,000 In what he calls useless or extraya gant appropriations of public moneys.
 Those vetoed are nine in number and do not include items in the general ap- propriation and supply bills. which will be finished today.
 The governor took drastic action on fish and game law amendments. He said in this relation that the fish and game laws had been codified a few years ago, and he saw no real good req son for tearing them to pieces by hun dreds of special amendments each year. In all he vetoed nineteen bills intended to open or close fish and game seasons and otherwise change the general law. Nine bills affecting cities of the state other than New York were also vetoed. The governor has vetoed about twen- ty personal claim bills, all of which, he said, can get to the court of claims in their regular time and course without legislative action.
 In bills of general interest the gov ernnor has vetoed five measures and the same number relating to corpora tions, banks or railroads. Five New York city bills also fell under the prun- ing knife.

It is now being asserted more or less openly by republicans that . com bine has been formed by republican senators for the purpose of preventing the nomination of Mir Roosevelt by his party i'll 1904, and that the small an tagonisms shown toward Mir Roose- welt, that have been cropping out in the senate for some time past, are re- suits of that combine. Although this antagonism has not been confined to the committee on military affairs, it has been made specially noticeable by that committee. It's adverse report on the nomination of Captain William Crozier to be chief of ordnance, with the rank of brigadier general, was about the most direct slap in the face yet administered to Mir Roosevelt, and the action of the senate on that report, if it is acted upon, will show to what extent the senate sympathizes with the slap. It is said that Mir Roosevelt has asked that no vote be taken unless the confirmation of Cro- ziers nomination is assured, because if the nomination is left unacted upon he can give Crozier a recess appoint. ment as soon as congress adjourns.

Among other things in Banker Henry lowing: "A bold and wealthy clique of Western capitalists have stepped in- to the speculative arena and created more or less sensation by the methods which they adopted to create activity. These gentlemen have amassed large fortunes through the great industrial combinations which they helped pro- mote during the last three years. Hay- ing large sums of money at their dis posal, and controlling lending institu- tions that add to their resources, their power in the market cannot be ignored. Everything depends. however, upon the sort of leaders they prove to be. Thus far they are comparatively untried ]; the public do not implicitly follow them, as yet they have not the full confidence of Eastern operators. that is naturally commanded by tried gen erals. Wall street would gladly vel come these gentlemen into the company of leaders if they show steadiness and sincerity of purpose; and no doubt if in addition to these qualities they dis play skill and staying power they may enlist an important following. 1t is possible even that the big capitalists would give them moral if not actual support; but until these parties have proved their fitness as leaders their statements and operations will doubt less be criticised, and the conservative forces in the street are more likely to hold sloos -cr the time being"

While the past week in congress has
 been productive of no important leg isIation, writes q correspondent, it has been replete with evidences of the discord in the republican party and, in their efforts to secure the passage of the Cuban reciprocity bill in the house, the republican leaders have commit ted themselves to propositions which will be carefully noted by their con- stituents and which they will find de- cidedly embarr 'ng during the next campaign. Al adopting the most drastic measures to prevent the revi- sion of the tariff along the lines pro- posed by Representative Babcock ear Her in the session, and effectually re-. sisting a reduction which would have curtailed the profits of the steel trust and other great corporations, they have completely reversed their argu-
 ments, receded from ther position that the Dingley schedules are 'ssa- cred" have cited Blaine and McKin- ley in favor of the reduction of two tariff schedules, but-in both instances, schedules which benefited only the far mers, sugar and tobacco and have secuted the idea of making even a similar reduction on refined sugar, the differential on which benefits only the sugar trust at the expense of tue con- sumer. During his opening speech on the Cuban bill, Chairman Payne Was forced to admit that the consumer

Wind and Sea.

The sea Is n jovial comrade;
He laughs wherever he goes;
His morriment shines in the dimplins
lines
That wrinkle his hale repose;
He lays himself down at the feet of the
sun.
And shakes all over with glce,
and the broad backed pillows fall faint
on the shore
In the mirth of the mighty sea!
But the wind Is sad and restless
And cursed with an inward pain;
You may bark at will, by valley or hill
But you hear him still complain
He walls on the barren mountains
And shreks on the wintry sea;
lie sobs in the cedar and means in the
pine.
And shudders all over the aspen tree.
Welcome are both their voices.
And | know not which is best
The laughter which slips from the ocean s
lips
Or the comfortless winds unrest.
There's a pang In all rejoicing
A Joy in the heart of pain,
And the wind that saddens, the sea that
gladdens
Are singing the self-same strain.
-Bayard Taylor.
