PRESENCE IN ALBANY OF A CAN- DIDATE FOR COMMISSIONER OF AGRICULTURE-JOHN GLOVER, THE CHAIN-LIGHTNING READ- ING CLERK OPF THB ASSEMBLY -MILEAGE BOOKS AND EQUAL- IZATION PROBLEMS. Albany, April 18.-(Special.)-The date of the final adjournment, as fixed a month ago by Fish and O'Grady, is but ten days off, The actual date of final adjournment is certainly a fort- night, and more likely three weeks dis- tant. For the delay and uncertainty, concerning the closing of the session but one bill is to blame, and that bill ote of the most vicious and most worth- less of this or any other session. Wil- lam: Barnes, Jr., the local Republican boss, openly announces that the Leg- islature must not adjourn until his Al- bany police bill becomes law,and in this programme he has the apparent con- currence of the Republican leaders in the Legislature. For every day the Legislature is needlessly held in ses- sion the cost to the taxpayers, exclu- sive of salaries of Senators and As- semblymén, is from $1,000 to $1,500. Perhaps the taxpayers of the State will view with equanimity such an expen- diture for the sake of giving \Willie\ Barnes the Albany police force for use in his local machine, and then again perhaps not. For days the supplemen- tal supply bill has been substantially ready to be acted on, and that out of closed al- most any day. ' As Hlustrating the present standing of civil service reform in the house of its friends, incidents of the past week are worth comment. The same day that the Governor and his Civil Service Commissioners agreed to the nullifica- tion of the State Constitution arranged for in the Raines bill, by placing the excise agents at the disposal of Mr. Platt's machine, application was made to the Commission for exemption from examination of normal school princi- pals and teachers. It was refused. The whiskey spies require no competitive examination, but the college graduates in charge of normal schools are sadly in need of the most rigid inspection of Mr, Platt's examining board. General opinion may be greatly at fault, but general opinion leans strong- ly to the opinion that the Greater New . York project is dead for another year. It was not the easisest thing to pass it originally, and to repass it over two mayoral vetoes is not easier. And Rumor will have it that Speaker Fish and other intending Governorship ap- plicants are much less interested in the passage of the bill than they were. Meantime, Mr. Platt is in Florida, and if anything should happen to the bill, ' who would be to blame-who but Hackett ? 8. D. Willard, of Geneva; Azariah C. Brundage, of Bath, and other candi- dates for Commisstoner of Agriculture will, if all accounts are true, have need to do a little fence-tinkering and that speedily, Jabez S. Woodward, of Lock- port, widely known as the ex-secretary of the State Agricultural Society, has been here for several days of late, and reliable rumors are to the effect that he met a reception at the executive clhanaber the reverse of chilly. It had been dobuted by some that Mr. Wood- ward would serfously contest the ap- pointment. Mr, Woodward is handi- capped by the fact that Niagara Coun- ty has fared. bountifully at the patron- ago counter already, but his friends say that the disadvantage is offset by the fact that he has endorsements \to burn\ from all over the State. 'Fhe impression has been that the Eld ridge bill, authorizing boards of super- visors to license rural peddlers, is dead in the Senate, Mr. Eldridge denies this. He says another effort will be made to pass it, and if it cannot be done, he will amend It so as to apply to counties of 80,000 or under. Only Putnam would come in besides Warren, but the gen- eral language would, Ar. Eldridge thinks, get around the Constitution. To Reading Clerk John R. Glover, of Oxford, the Assembly undoubtedly owes It that it has almost wholly es- caped evening sessions so far this year. 'The increase of the legislators to 200 has correspondingly increased the flood of bills, aud a slow reading clerk would mean a session of practically unimited longth. Mr. Glover's fron lungs and throat liave well stood the test and on «o¢nl bills, to which nobobdy objects, he linbitumidly calls the 150 names in 47 seconds, and did it the other day in 45. Another effort will probably be made this week to force action in the Senate on the new mileage book law. Senator Milby's attempt last week to discharge the Railroad Committee from further consideration of the subject was de- fented by the efforts of the railroad contingent, headed «by Mullin and Raines, but the attendance was light and many dodged, Senator Malby's ob- Joctions to \making a morgue of the Railroad Committee\ are shared by other Senators, and the enaetment of a rir mileage-book law is urged by com- mercial travelers and others. Sportsmen from Troy anid other cities are trying to amend the pending anti- hounding bill so as to permitthe hound- ing of deer betwen the 1st and 15th of October. The change is resisted by the supporters of the bill as practically, filmy claim, equivalent to killing their Nio bill of greater rural importance i has been considered this year than the Brownell county equalization board bill, which has passed the Assembly and is pending in the Senate. In it many believe to be the solution‘of “ghe problem of the annual equalization wrangle. The adoption of the plan of the bill is optional with the local_ boards of supervisors; if they adopt it, tpey shall then appoint three commission- ers, two of whom shall be residents of the county and not members of the board of supervisors, and the third commissioner shall not be a resident of or a taxpayer in the county, but shall reside in the judicial district in which such county is situated. If there be one or more cities in the county one of such commissioners shall be a resident of such city or cities and one shall be a resident of the towns in such county, the city representative to be appaocint- ed by the city supervisors, and vice versa. All of the appointments are to be confirmed by a two-thirds vote of the board of supervisors. In case of failure to agree, the clerk of the board shall apply to the county judge, anf such county judge shall appoint the commissioners subject to the provis- ions relating to their places of resi- dence. The term of office of each such commissioners shall be three years. Not more than one commissioner shall reside in the same town or city, and if a commissioner remove to a town or city in which another commissioner re- sides, the office of the commissioner so removing shall theregn become vacant. Not more than a majority of the com- missioners shall belong to the same po- litical party, and the other commission- ers shall be chosen from the other po- litical party polling in such county at the last general election either the high- est or next highest number of votes. The commissioners' pay to be fixed by the board of supervisors, shall not ex- ceed $4 per diem, and reasonable ex- penses, for actual time and services, salary and expenses all told not to ex- ceed $300 per year. Between the first day of September and the time of the annual meeting of the Board of super- visors in each year the commissioners shall examine the assesment rolls of the several towns in their county, and they may increase or diminish the ag- gragate valuations of real estate in any town or ward by adding or deducting such sum upon the hundred as may, in tehir opinion, be necessary to produce a just relation between all the valuations of real estate in the county, but they shall in no instance reduce the aggre- gate valuations of all the towns and wards below the aggregate valuations threof as made by the assessors. A. B. H. FAMINE IN CUBA, WAR IN ALL ITS HORRORS EVIL DENT THERE. New York, April 18. -'Lue Heraid's Havana dispatch says:,The price of beef is advancing in all the Havana stores and there is a meat famine in all parts of the island. In Santa Clara the situation is each day becoming worse. Flere all who had enough money to leave have gone. Hunger is felt on every side and con- stant alarms manifested. Gun shots are heard almost every night, and oc- casionally houses are burned in the vicinity. The suburbs are entirely abandoned by residents who have taken refuge in the city. Deserted families are flocking to the city without a penny to support them and without hope of find- ing a roof to shelter them. Platt Methods in Spain. Madrid, April 18.-Additional returns from yesterday's elections for members of the Cortes show that among those elected are Emilio Castelar and Piuy Margall. The manipulation of the poll- ing and counting of votes in Madrid have resulted in the election of fire Con- servatives and caree Liberals. The Marquis of Cabrinana, who re- venled the recent municipal scandals, was badly defeated on the face of the returns. The dishonest methods em- ployed by the authorities in handling the polling against the Marquis are ap- parent in the fact that a great many more ballots are returned thin there were electors. 'The populace are indig- nant at the employment of such tactics, and the authorities have taken precau- tions against an outbreak. It is conceded on all sides that the new parliament will be short lived. Spain's Cause is Lost. New York, April 18.-The Herald's St. Petersburg special says the Nogosti scores American legislators for their attitude toward Spain on the Cuban question. - It says: \The revolution would bave been finished long ago had it not been for the support of America. From an international point of view the attitude of the Americans cannot bear criticism. It is due to an ex- travagant appetite for the extension of the United States. Spain's cause is lost, for she is dealing not with Cuba, but with America.\ Miners' Bodies Recovered. Butte, Mont., April 18.-The bodies of John MceVergh, James Dwyer, John Quinlan and Con Lowney, four of the six men blown up in the St. Lawrence mine on Saturday, have been recovered.

MAYOR STRONGS ACTION ON THE GREATER NEW YORK BILL A. POSER, ALBAXY, April 18.-Greater New York Is again the absorbing topic of discussion in legislative circles 'The veto or ap- proval of Mayor Strong of-New York to Senator Lexow's Greater New York bill which passed both branches of the legisla- bure by overwhelming majorities is in a sealed envelope in the safe of the clerk of the senate, together with the veto of Mayor \Wurster of Brooklyn and the approval of Mayor Gleason of Long Island City. These communications will be read at the con- vening of the semate this evening and great interest is contered in the contents of the envelope from Mayor Strong, as he has succeeded in keeping his decision a se- cret, and: the many current rumors of gither a veto or an approval to the bill from the mayor of New York city are mere conjectures. The action of passing the bill over the veto of Mayor Wurster and the possible veto of Mayor Strong will be deferred un- til tomorrow morning. 'This course was- agreed to by the leaders of the majority and minority on Friday, as Leader Cantor and soveral of his colleagues will not be present at this evening's session. What this action will be is also a matter of con- jecture. The objections of the Brooklyn- ites to the measure will be strengthened by the veto of Mayor Wurster, and. the unknown action of Mayor Strong will un- doubtedly have great weight when the final vote is taken. 'When the Lexow bill was passed 27 Re- publicans out of 85 voted for it in the sen- ate and 64 out of the 103 in the assembly, while the minority, almost to a man, voted in the affirmative. If Mayor Strong's decision is veto, it may be difficult to repass the bill and if this cannot be done, attention will then be turned to the consideration of the con- solidation bill introduced on April8 by H. 'T. Andrews, which is similar to the bill at issue, but containg a clause provid- ing for the referendum of the proposed charter for the greater city to a vote of the people in the localities affected. This pro- vision meets the greatest objection that was offered against consolidation by the representatives of Brooklyn. When the question of a Greater New York is disposed of, the remainder of the week will be devoted to the consideration of many important measures which are on the calendars of both houses. BUFFALO WENT DRY. Her First Experience With Sunday Drouth Came Yesterday. < BUFFALO, April 18. -Buffalo had its first dry Sunday under the Raines law yesterday. It was practically Buffalo's first experience, for it had been accus- tomed to pursuing the fairly even tenor of its way, in the matter of excise, without the interruption of periodical reform waves such as have visited other cities, and its people knew of \dry Sundays\ only by hearsay or experience gained from with- out. : But it was all brought home to Buffalo yesterday and there was no oasis any- where except ab an occasional road house outside the city limits. Every saloon in the city was shut, and theremoved screens tantalized the thirsty passerby with the view of long rows of bottles which he could not get at. Only two attempted evasions of the law were reported, and those were due to care- leesness in not closing sharp at 12 o'clock Saturday night. Both cases were on the south side and the delinquents will an- swer in police court today. The drugstores did a rushing business } in soda water. SIX BLOWN TO PIECES. A Terrific Explosion Occurs In & Mine in Montana. BUTTE, April 18 -A&n explosion of 100 pounds of glans powder, by which six mon were blown to pieces, occurred ab the 1,100- foot level of St. Lawronce mine. The names of the killed are: Con G. Lowney. John Quintan. Ed Shields. . James Diwyer. o John McVeigh. 297 Patrick O'Rourke. R . The cause of the explosion is unknown, as the six mon killed were the only ones in the part of the mine where the disastar oc; curred. . Owing to a fall of debris th the level just after the explosion, the bodies will not be reached until later. f a* T Shooting Tragedy In Tows. NEWHAMPTON, April 13. -Herman Beak, a stonc mason of this city, shot and killed Mike Bartz and fatally wounded the lat ter's son and young daughter. - Beak is a son-in-law of Bartz, who lives three miles from town. Beak's wife recently secured a divorce from him. He laid in wait in the brush for them while they were on their way home from church and discharg- ed. both barrels of a shotgun at them at short range. The girl will die and it is thought the boy will. Beak mistook the girl for his wife. He came to the city and gave himself up immediately after the shooting. Cycling on the Pacific Coast. Sax Fraxcis60, April 13.-The Bay City club's team won she 100 mile relay race, Garden City second, San Jose Road club third. 'The finish was intensely exciting. Wells 'of the Bay Citys, Foster of the Olympics, Zeigler of the Garden Citys, Squires. of, the Acre team were on even terms up to within 200 yards of the finish. Foster then started to sprint and collided with Squires. Both men fell and Wells beat Zeigler out by two feet in the final sprint. About 10,000 wheelmen witnessed the finish.

M., April 18.-The worst snow storm ever known in this vicinity. . prevailed here yesterlay. All the north- - bound trains on the Santa Fe railroad are tied up, as the appronches to the Raton tunnel on both sides are drifted full of snow for a distance of several hundred feet. Under the most favor- able circumstances it will probably be more than 24 hours before any trains can move over the Raton mountains. The last train passing the mountain was the Hotel keepers excursion at 3 a.. m. Several hunting parties left here yesterday and there are grave fears that all have perished as the cold has been intense with the snow in swirls, making it impor a for anyone to see. more than three or four feet.
