WILL VETO BIG BILLS?
Belief That OdcH VIII XIII RemSen,
" Niagara and Smith Measures.
[nY TELEGRAPH TO TIE 7arRuxE.l


ALBANY May 10.-Caiers at the Executive
Chamber to-day. after taking with Governor
OaaII, declared they believed lie would veto ~
Rerlsen East River Gas h.l the Niagara Power
oill and the J. e. Smith Water Dill The Gov
errlor has nearly completed his work or the
thirty days bills and the majority Of the meas
ufes. exclusive OF the supply and Appropria-
ton bills which have not been signed viii be
included in his omnibus veto, which will be
made public soon
What the Governors action viii be on the three
big measures still pending the Remsen East Rir
et Gas bill. the Mia CARA Power Company bill and
the J. T Smith bill. IS unknown. In the case of
the first bill the widespread impression exists That
it will ne vetoed. and this is shared by Assem-
blyDan Remsen. the author Of the bill. Ger
tain Tammany Senators who have been in the
city recently have suggested that the Tam
many who vent into the stock market on
this bill have already protected themselves,
and that interesting situation viii develop
if ,the Governor vetoes The measure. Their
assertion is that many people have sold short
on the assumption that the Governor would
veto the bill. and that owing to the manner
IN which the gas stock is held an insistence
onrtheir covering IS expected to send the price
up raJher than down the veto.
N the Of the Niagara bill. Senator
L4emmedieu. Assemblyman Thompson and
many Lockport people saw the Governor in be-
hale OF the measure to-day ana subsequently
spoke gloomily. and the majority of those fol-
lowing the situation predict its veto Nothing
save Inc fact that the 7. T. Smith Duchess
Coshty Water bin has been held up long
exists in the way of evidence to how the
Governor will take action on this measure. The
general impression is that the appropriation
measures reduced. published in The Tribune
to-day from S2S000OO0 to S26,20OOo0 will be
made public tomorrow Thursday and pos
sibIy the omnibus veto also. 1t is known that
the constant stream of members visiting the
Governor, and appealing for their particular
measure IS wearyinG him. and he may take
this method Of ending the matter.

THEosoPHIsT VIEW OF LIFe's LENGTH

c. W. Leadbeater. the English Theosophist made
address What Theosophy Does for U.s. at
Genealogical Hall. No. 226 West Fifty-eighth-st
last evening. lie said I'm part:
A careful study OF the life OF man in the period
between his inCarnatOns shows how small a pro-
portion this physical life bears TO tho whole. In
the case of the average educated and cultured man
of any OF the higher races, the period Of one life
that is to say. OF one day in the real Ife-would
average about fifteen hundred years. OF this
period. perhaps seventy or eighty years would be
spent in physical life. some fifteen twenty upon
the astral plane, and all the rest I'm the heaven
world. which is therefore by far the important
part of mans existence. Naturally these ropor-
lions vary considerably for different types OF men
and when We come to consider the younger souls.
born either in inferior or in the lower ranks
of our own, find that these proportions en-
tirely changed. FOR the astral life Is likely 10 be
much longer and the heaven life much shorter. In
the case OF the absolute savage there is scarcely
any heaven life at all. because he has vet de-
veloped within himself the qualities which alone
enable tho man 70 attain that life.
