CANAL BILL TO PASS.
Enough Vote* When Time Comet,
Says — To Ruth Estate Act.
■ji*. "•••"_ v - . ■- _ - ..""";
fBT rBLTCKATH TO TO TKBFIfE ]
Albany. March 36— Governor Odell expressed his
conviction to-day that the Improvement of the
canals of the Btat# should be farofed by the Re
publican Toerrfbeni of the legislature.
"Some Republican members of the legislature."
m*i& the Governor, "are now working asmlnst canal
legt?latlor. but I am assured that when tbe time
cooes for a vote on the Canal Improvement bill
they will be with their party. The Republican
party in this State Is committed to\canal Improve
ment, and it is as necessary that the members
y. the legislature shall pass the canal bill as It Is
for them to enact laws abolishing the direct Bute
tax." ; .
That one prominent Republican member of the
Vslslatur* Is not disposed to permit a canal im
provement bill to advance with any rapidity was
apparent In the Assembly to-day. The Assembly
took up W.ls on the order of second reading, arid
there came up for consideration Assemblyman
Bostwick'a bia submitting to the people this year
a proposition to expend $101,000,000 In the improve
ment of the canal* of the State. Assemblyman
Oraeff. of Sesex County, asked that the bill be
ordered to a third reading without debate, under
an agreement that it should be debated on the
order of third reading. . ,
Assemblyman Burnett, of Ontario County, chair
man of the Commit on Cities, objected to this
disposition of the bill, and it was therefor* left
on the order of second reading. ■
It is «aid to be the design of the Republican
,e*.<Jen> first to pass the Liquor Tax bill in the legis
lature, then the Canal Improvement bill and finally
•.he Mortgage Tax bill. Probably an attempt will
be made to pass the Liquor Tax bill on Tuesday
text In the Senate. -
CONFLICT OF LABOR ABD CANALS.
Perplexity Over Two Propositions Intended
for Submission to the People.
Albany. March — A possible conflict of the- canal
proposition and the Dowllnr amendment to th*
constitution, which would author!** the legislature
to regulate hours, wages and other conditions of
labor. is perplexing -.ie labor men of the State.
Only one of the questions can be submitted to the
people at a general election.
The labor people hare issued a statement. In
which they cite the Indorsement of both measures
by the Auburn convention of the State Working
men's Federation, and admit that one proposition
blocks the othef.
"Which Is to" have the preference they ask.
•"Will it be wise to defer the Dowllng amendment
upon which so much progress has been gained? Is
there any assurance that any canal proposition
will really be submitted to the people this year?
Win It realy be 'canals.' or 'Dowllng amendment.'
or neither"'* ,
The statement avers that the legislative agent, of
the federation at the Capitol has been advised that
the labor m«n must come to some decision or
stand convicted of shuffling, to the prejudice of both
propositions.
NO EARLY OPENING OF CANALS.
Albany. March Superintendent Charles S.
B"yd. of the State Department of Public Works,
has reeved a large number of requests for an
early opening of the State canal system. The
op*nln«c will be as early as possible, but not so
early as expected. The superintendent is unable
to fix a date at this time, as the severe condi
tions of the winter made It Impossible, until
within the last two weeks, to begin needed Im
provement work which had been planned when
the canals closed last, fall and which Is abso
lutely necessary for a safe opening of the •water
ways.
TEKZMEJTT LAW SAFE.
Governor Still Firm — Rebukes Dr. Rains
ford.
Albany. March 20 (Special) —Governor Odell re
plied In frank terms to-day to the attack- made
upon him by tbe Rev. Dr. Ralnsford In New-York
last night. in the course of a lecture. This state
ment appears in The Tribune of to-day:
In a lecture or. "Education" before the Students'
Club of St. Mark's Church, held in the club room.
No. 234 East Eieventh-st.. last night, the Rev. Dr.
"William ' S. Rainsford said that ten bad bills had
been introduced In the legislature This "session.
"Strike bills." the clergyman", declared them to be,
end the Tenement House till, he declared.' was' an
effort cf Governor Odell to conciliate the worst
■wing of the Republican party- - - - ~
The Governor said: .
If Dr. Rain^ford will remember that I signed the
ri»(»ri» drastic law for the protection of the tene
ment house population, and that I have rot uttered
a syllable in favor of any amendment save the bill
proposed by the Tenement House Commissioner
himself, he will Fee how unjust his statement is. The
bill proposed by the commissioner In no way inter
feres with the law. It does not harm a single es
sential feature of It. It guards the Interests of the
dwellers In tenement houses.
CANTOR FEARS ALBANY.
Says Legislation There May Injure Chances
of Fusion Ticket.
Borough President Canter says that the greatest
danger to the fusion administration in this city
ii*s In prospective legislation at Albany.
"I believe." said Mr. Cantor, 'thai there will be
fusion next fall, snd that the ticket will win. no
, matter' how it is made up. 'If the fusionists lose,
•however. it will be on account of Governor jOde-ll's
irMstence on doing away with the direct State tax.
Every tax measure thus far introduced hits the
people of this city harder than those of any other
plar«>. The people here gradually are getting the
imiion that the Odcll administration is against
th'm. and that their only relief ie to throw their
support to the Democratic party. This feeling pre
vailed to a large extent last fail, when New-York
Wf-pt Democratic by a large plurality— a plurality
nearly large enough, by the .way. to wipe out the
Republican plurality above the Bronx. Every mem
ber of the Low administration can afford to be
proud of the record that it is making. It Is doubt
ful if that record will be excelled in the next gen
eration. The next fusion ticket deserves success.
"Whether it will ro^t success depends now on what
the people get from Albany. If we B re beaten next
fall, it will be because of the feeling that Gov
ernor Odell's administration is antagonistic to the
Interests of the people of this city.
50 WATCH ON LEGISLATUEE.
Detectives Not Hired to Spy on Members,
Speaker Says.
. Albany. March 20 (Special).— Assemblyman Mc-
Marue, addressing the Assembly to-day. Raid :
I have read In the public. press during the last
two days that conditions have arisen that have
necessitated the engaging of detectives to keep a
■watch on members of the Senate and the Assembly.
The intimation that lobbyists are perniciously active
and that a large corruption fund nas been raised to
Influence legislation is a gross insult to every mem
ber of this legislative body. I want to say right
now. that I consider the action of the Republican
ministration In engaging detectives to keep a
watch on members of tne legislature is going very
lowland it an insult which every decent man has a
right to resent. %
Speaker Nixon here Interrupted Mr. McManus.
laying:
I think the gentleman from New- York is mis
taken when he says that detectives have been en
gaged to keep watch on legislators. If they are in
the employ of the State they are there for a very
different purpose.
. TAXATION OF RAILROADS.

the real property of steam surface railroads, Ha

CORNELL NOT TO PLAY HARVARD.
Football Schedule Is Announced — Two
Big Games.
[BT TELEGRAPH TO THE TBIBtiXE. 1
Ithaca, N. V.. March 20.— The Cornell football
schedule which was announced to-night contains
only two big games for the Canadian and White
next fall. Contrary to the expectations of the
student body no game with Harvard Is on the list.
This was due to the fact that the Crimson au
thorities would do nothing until arrangements with
Yale had been perfected. The Princeton game will
be played at Princeton again this year. This was
done because Princeton wishes to alternate the
Cornell and Yale games at Princeton, with one or
the other out of town each year. Cornell agreed
to go to Old Nassau in 1903 with the understanding
that the Tigers will visit Ithaca th« year after.
The Princeton proposal to play all games with Cor
nell in New-York was not favorably received by
the Ithacans. Disappointment is felt that no games
with teams like Lafayette or the Indians will be
played. The schedule follows:
September 26, Hobart at Ithaca: September 30, Al
fred at Ithaca October 3. Rochester at Ithaca:
October 7 Niagara University at Ithaca: October
10 Colgate University at Ithaca; October 17. Buck
nell at' Ithaca: October 24, Union College at Ithaca;

November 26. Pennsylvania at Philadelphia.

year, He will have as an understudy Irwln. a
freshman with a school record. I,ltt]etieM and

O'Brien, from Andover. is thus far carrying the
day at second base. M<»toalf*s old position. Miller
and Metcalf are at present candidates for short
stop, and O'Rourke. shortstop two years ago. and
Thompson, last year's substitute, are working on
the third bag. In the field no new men hnvf ap
peared of unusual promise, and it looks us if Cote.

scouting positions.

usual, and will open the training- table In the Uni
versity Club on March 20. The squad now numbers
