NEW JERSEY.


New YORK, March %. The action Of Senator
Eaton in Introducing resolution in the Senate
asking the appointment of a committee to investi-
gate the person Of Noyes, created great excite
ment in Newark last night. The general smpres-
sion Is that Moves was too smart to accept bail,
and preferred TO take this means of getting even
with his enemies. The general impression is that
the county prosecution overstepped the bounds in
epirapping the prisoner.
The prosecutor believes his actions were right,
and feels confident this resolution will come to
nothing. The assertion Of Judge Wright of New
Haven, that Noyes was kidnapped from Wash.
ingtoD, is declared untrue, and prosecutor Abel is
preparing an answer for bis statement.

on him for another offence.

nobscot county, complaint and warrant against
Jennie Hope for LEGGED completely in the Win
threp Bank robbery, which occurred on the ODD of

would be required to find suretes for $50 900,
which he would hardly be able to do Detective

NEW YORK, March %. Mr.. Babson, who was
the principal witness On the American side before
the Halifax tribunal, yesterday had long talk
with Secretary Evsrts on the general II atures of
the adjudication of fisheries.
Babson showed that the award was not only
most extraordinary, but seemed to have been ar
rived at less by considering the value of the priv
ileges obtained than by looking to the return of
the unexpended balance of the Geneva award to
the British government.
Evaits asked lIabson what effect it will have on
American interests If the fishery provisions OF the
treaty of Washington surrendered at the ex-
pnatlon of the time fixed. He replied that it will
have no effect there was plenty of valuable
