Special Despatch TO THE New YORK HERALD.
New York Herald Bureau.
Albany. May y.
Gov. Miller signed yesterday the
general appropriations bill for the sup
port of the State government, and in
connection Herewith issued an official
statement revealing that under his
guidance the Legislature, just adj
1ourned, has effected reduction of
more than $18.0OO,000 in the cost of
the State government. The Governors
statement reads:
In approving this bill ] desire to
give the Legislature credit for its work
In quitting stop to the mounting cost of
government, which had assumed alarm
ing proportions.
The appropriations. including minor
ones not yet acted upon, total $780, g.
1886. The budget requests submitted
TO the Legislature amounted to s201.-
6a4.292.43. That reduction. great as It
Is, does not tell the whole story. Nothing
was included in the budget requests for
debt service on account of the soldiers
bonus bonds to be issued, for which an
appropriation of s1125,o00 was made.
Besides. as is always the case, a num-
Der OF appropriations not included in the
budget were necessary. Those amounted
to s4,621,545.61. Adding to the budget
the actual appropriations in addition
thereto, found necessary as aforesaid,
we have a grand total of s207, ,390,s3s.0
and thus a reduction of s71,638,6543s
That result was made possible by the
painstalSing work of the respective chair
men of the Finance Committee of the
Senate and the Ways and Means Com
mittee OF the Assembly and to their
rigid adherence to stated rules uninflu-
enced by any personal considerations
whatsoever.
THE appropriations last wear
amounted to s145,219,906 A reduc-
tion of s9.467,627.94 In actual appropria-
tons was thus effected, but again that
falls to tell the story. 1t was found
necessary to make deficiency appropria-
tons OF s10.476.773.57 as compared with
S6.6S2,64s.6s of similar appropriations
for the prior year. The larger items were
canal judgments OF s3.7SS.31323, claims
for killing diseased cattle of s7O3S1a22
a deficiency of ss73,762.92 for publishing
the session laws and official notices, an
item OF $1,000. 900 for the increased
cost of coal for the institutions above the
appropriation therefor. Moreover the
unusual and unexpected requirements.
including deficiencies, called for appro-
prfations. which were made. totalling

PSYCHOLOGY TESTS URGED
AS AID IN STUDENT TRAINING
DR.. Samuel Hickman Offers Remedy for Edison's Dis
covery of Amazingly ignorant College Gradu-
ates Who Apply for Jobs at His Plant.

Or. Samuel Hickman. psychologist Of
the College of the City OF New York.
who commented yesterday on Thomas A.
Edisons experience with amazingly
ignorant college graduates who applied
for jobs at the Edison plant. said that
students in grammar schools should be
submitted to psychology tests TO ascer-
tain what educational channels they
should be guided into.
Many students are simply wasting
their time in lines of work for which
they were not mentally endowed said
Prof. Hickman 1T is possible 10

groups while they are still quite young.

utilized by the various welfare societies
Of the city. The public schools are turn
ing more and more to the employment
Of psychological tests. but the practice
Is not as general as 1t should be. The
Bureau of Attendance is now utilizing
psychological tests for children that
present special problems. An examina-
tion soon establishes the child in the
division to which he or she belongs
mentally.
This classification will show who are
equipped for the professions or for sue
cess in large way in business; who
probably will not be sl<illful as trade
workers. While no psychological test is
claimed to be 100 per cent. accurate. 1t
is much better than the hit and miss
procedure that has gone on in the
schools for years

psychology tests at the City College

MAYOR TELLS HOW
HE SAVED MILLIONS
Arrives at VieU by Adding
Theoretical Expenditures.

Still confronted by the city's largest
budget, though the schools are about
$50 100000 short of their needs, and
with the prospect of larger budget
next year. Mayor Hylan issued a state
ment yesterday setting himself as
saver of millions of dollars. The Mayor
arrived at that point OF view by adding
up the total theoretical expenditures
that probably would have been neces-
sary had he approved certain bills
passed--nearly all at the instance of
employees OF his own departments--by
the last session of the Legislature. The
Mayors savings total s17.500. 900.
The Legislature passed 130 measures
for the Mayors decision. OF those he
vetoed fifty-three. His statement de-
clared that the Legislature passed a
number of other bills drawn as general
measures. but which, he contends. were
really local to New York and should
have been submitted to him. He indi-
Gated that he is considering attacking
those measures in the courts. though he
did not say decision had been reached
The bills vetoed by the Mayor and
the savings accomplished thereby he

B0MBERS ARE
UNDER ARREST
Women Leave Handbag
Containing Dynamite in
Newspaper Office.

Lisbon, Jan. "26.-(By ail.)-Tw0
women who left handbag contain
ing six dynamite bombs in the, Office
of the royalist newspaper Monarchia
just before that office was raided by
the police the other day, have been
arrested. Their apprehension tends to
clear up a mystery connected with the
case.
1t is learned that the police raid
was made because they had dis
covered the delivery of the bombs, but
the editor of the newspaper asserts
that the women who brought the
bombs to the Office in his absence
were absolutely unknown to him. He
declared that the whole affair, was q
trap to compromise the faction of
royalists represented by the Monarchia
pairing for any armed conspiracy at
this moment ~ such an act. he said,
would only delay the suicide Of the
present, regime
The police have discovered that one
of the women who carried the bombs
to the office Of the Monarchia did so
at the request of her husband, a man
who was in prison for implication in
some past royalist uprisings, and who
died last week while still a prisoner
Just before his death, his wife said,
he told her 20 take handbag which
had been for a long time, in their
house to the newspaper Office and give
it to one Of the editors, Lieutenant
Luiz Chaves. She declares that she
obeyed her, husbands request witfou,
any knowledge of the bags contents
The police followed her to the
newspaper office. found the bombs
closed and sealed the Office and made
several arrests.
Lieutenant Chaves could not be
found.
The hundreds of royalists who are
loyal to the former King Manuel and
who have been in prison for more
than two years since the last royalis1
rising are in despair over this affair
which they believe will postpone in
definitely the amnesty to politica
prisoners which they have long beer
promised. For several nights follow
ing the raid on the Monarchia, san
culinary conflicts took place in some
of the principal Lisbon cafes between
bands of armed defenders of the Por,
tuguese republic and people suspected
Of being members of the Integralists
faction Of royalists. This faction doe.
not recognize former King Manuel a.
its head but supports Dom Nunt
