REVOLT AGAINST oDELL.
Nomination of Baker to Succeed Bimself as &
X. Commissioner Rejected.
lBy the Assoeiated Press.l

Albany, n. Y, April 16.-Not since the
memorable days of the Conkling- Platt
instruction has the State Senate been
the scene of more bitter personalities or
of a more sensational political battle
than that of this morning and afternoon
when Gov. Odells nomination of Rail-
road Commissioner, Frank NJ. Baker, to
succeed himself was rejected by a coali-
ton of Senator'S Bracket Brown, and
Elsberg, the three so-called insurgent
Republicans, with the Democrats and an
intensely personal conflict was precipita-
ted between Senator Bracket and Sena-
tor Raines, the Republican president pro
tenn. 1t is not likely that the battle will
be ended tomorrow when it is expected
that the Judiciary committee will report
the nomination of George Wilson Morgan
to take the place of John McCullagh as
superintendent Of elections sent in by
Governor Odell today.
In explaining his vote against MIR.
Bakers confirmation, Senator Bracket
said
Mr.. Baker is simply a pawn on the
chess board. L vote against this nomina-
ton in protest against the sewage and
filth that is being poured upon the head
Of our worthy governor through the
agents of the man who inspired this nom
ination. And l vote against this nOmi-
nation to emphasize my disapproval of
the action of the man who causes the
seal of party approval to be placed on
any measure when certain attorneys are
engaged in favor of the bills"
In the course Of a bitter reply, Senator
Raines said:
when it came to the nomination and
election of United States Senators, the
three posed as Independent Republicans
God save the mark. II would be more
becoming to their dignity as Senators,
to their honor as men, and to their par
ty obligations to refrain from skulking
behind these excuses from maintaining
this 'holier than thou posture. Let them
cease to be the 'Uriah Keeps of this Sen
ate and to occupy position for which
the State and their own constituents are
damning them with a bitter condemna-
ton.

A FUNNY MONTH THIS
April Has Been Up to All
Kind of Tricks.
Rain, Fros', Sunshine, Springtime, Fall, Sum
mer and Wintry Blasts Have Been lis
Capricious Moods

April is half way over, but let it be
hoped that the last half will not be like
unto the first.
It has been a disagreeable half mostly.
Every day or so there has been rain, and
when this was not so the skies have
darkened.
Some days came like a forerunner of
summer, spring time was in the air and
the open cars and straw hats appeared to
delight us.
But the wind vcered. or old Borcas
blew, or something happened and the gum
shoe and the umbrella and the overcoat
was needed on "a rush order. You left
home without your umbrella and had to
get back under borrowed one, or dared
the elements unprotected.
1t has been warm and cold. In the
early part of the month the State had an
experience with the thermometer below
the freezing point, and the reports OF
damage to trucking interests and fruit
crops have been depressing. Happily 1t
has not proved so serious.
This April has given us as cold day
as in any April in sixteen years, this be-
ing 30 degrees on the 9Th. This same tenn
perature was reached during April in
1887. 1892, 1899 and 1900 In 1898 the low
est in April was 81 degrees and in 1883
and 1901 So degrees, all the other Aprils

THE CAUSE OF 1T.

The storm which has been influencing
the weather of North Carolina in so dsa-
greeable a manner commenced its career
over Nevada the morning of April 9th,
and the characteristic feature of this
barometric depression was its slow move
ment eastward. BY the morning of April
18th it was central in the Ohio valley, and
the rain area accompanying it covered the
entire country east of the Mississippi
river.
The storm hardly moved at all during
the next forty-eight hours, but increased
in intensity, the pressure falling below
forty inches, and a secondary storm form
ed over Western North Carolina. During
the passage of the storm northward on
the 14th severe local wind and hail storms
occurred in Eastern North Carolina with
considerable damage to crops.
The depression was central between
Washington and Philadelphia on the 18th,
and gales dangerous to shipping occurred
along the Atlantic Coast. The tempera-
ture fell in Western North Carolina to
81 degrees at Asheville with snow, but
fortunately the slow movement of the
storm which fingered on the coast of
North Carolina and Virginia all day of
the 18th and 18th prevented clearing sky
and saved us from another frost

TEMPERATURE AND RAIN.

The temperature, however for April has
been above normal except on the 4th.
5th., 9Th, and 14th., 18th, 18th, and this
normal temperature has been on an aver
age 5S degrees for the past sixteen years
during April. In this time the warmest
April was in 1885, when it averaged 81
degrees, and the coolest was in 1901, when
the average was SO degrees. On April
1S, 1896, the temperature was 95 degrees,
and this was the highest ever reached in
April in sixteen years, the lowest being 80
degrees on April 10, 1892. The average
date on which the last "killng" frost oc-
CURED in spring is April 8, and we are
fortunately passed that.
In the matter of precipitation or rain
fall the half month past is way up, it be-
ing 2.75 inches, the average for sixteen
Aprils, entire months, being 3.47 inches.
In April, 1895, the precipitation was 795
inches, this being the highest, while the
lowest was 1.4O inches in April 1893.
The greatest recorded precipitation in any
twenty -four consecutive hours was 337
inches on April End, and 3rd, 1901, the
snowfall for the same length being 3.5
inches on April 4, 1899.
