STATE SOVEREIGNTY.
The New Jersey Senate Asks the Support of
the States Against Federal Interference.

TRENTON, N. j., Feb. I'm the Senate. afew
days ago. a preamble and resolutions were intro
duced, asking Congress not to pass the bill there
pending granting permission for the erection Of
a bridge over the Arthur Mel over which the
Baltimore e Ohio railroad proposes to secure
entrance to New York harbor. The resolutions
assert the doctrine of the States rights in the
matter of granting the privilege of building
bridges within the boundaries of New Jersey or
upon its borders; claim that the government has
no jurisdiction except as to military or post
routes; declare that the claim that the proposed
route is necessary is mere subterfuge, and call
upon her sister States to support New Jersey in
protesting against federal interference with her
rights. This matter came up for consid-
Grafton before the Senate today, and
led to sharp debate which occupied the entire
session, On behalf of the friends of the resolu-
ton. 1t was claimed that they were perfectly
proper, and were but just assertion of the
rights and dignity of the State; on behalf Of the
opposition, it was claimed that, in asserting the
non-jurisdction of Congress, they were an insult
to that body; that they re-asserted doctrine
which the late war had decided against; that the
federal government had jurisdiction in matters
Of interstate traffic; that the statutes of New
jersey in regard to the building of bridges ap-
piled only to foot and wagon ways and not at all
to railway bridges; and, finally, that the resolu-
tions We're being pushed at the request of corpo-
ratons inimical to the one seeking this franchise
The resolutions were finally passed by vote of
4 to 16.

LABOR MATTERS.
A Coke Famine Likely to Result from the
Strike in ConnelIsyille Region.

Strike in Connellsyille Region.
PITTsBURG, Pa, Feb. 2.-The great strike in
the coke regions is likely to cause coke famine.
1t has been estimated that the supply on hand
to-day, both by operator and consumer, will not
last at the most over ten days, and, at the expi-
ration of that time, unless the strike is broken
and the men resume work, furnaces will have to
be banked, rolling mills stopped and thousands
Of men all over the country be thrown out of
employment. The magnitude of the strike, of
the number of men whom it affects, and of the
hundreds of thousands of dollars that will be
lost to working men cannot. be estimated. In
the region there are between 5000 and 5000 of
the class of people who are termed
Slaves" by III. G. Prick This en-
twothirds of them men and a very large
proportion of these are single. 1t is not thought
that they realize what they are going to do when
put out of their houses. Very few of them have
begun to make any plans for the future. Prob
ably per cent. of them will go back to their
native country. About thirty bought tickets to
Hungary yesterday To an interpreter one of
the leaders said that they were Disguised with
this country, and would never come back again.
few are talking of going to the South and West,
whore there are coal works, and the remainder
will probably go to the already oyer-crowded
Hooking valley The action of the strikers in
refusing to dig coal for the engines Is acting as
boomerang, the operators having retaliated by
refusing to allow the strikers to take any
coal from the bins. and in a
few days there will not be
hundred families III the whole region who will
have coal enough to keep ono fire burning. Coke
cannot be burned, and there is no wood to speak
Of in this region with millions of tons of coal
in the pits waiting to be dug the operatives will
have to freeze and 60 without food, or give in
and break the strike.
The Carissa coke works. at Dawson. and the
Nellie works, below Bradford, are reported run
ming full to-day at the old prices. These are
the works owned by James Cochran.
Up to the present time evictions have taken
place, but it is hard to tell what may be done to-
morrow, late dispatch from Scottdae says
one family was evicted to-day, but no trouble re-
suited.
Seven families were eyicted from the COM
pany's houses tonight. and their household
goods are now lying alongside of the public
road. The tenants were taken by surprise, and
no trouble followed the evictions. The work
will be continued until all of the houses are va
cant.
Between 5000 and 1000 empty cars are side
tracked at various points as result of the coke
strike There is coke enough, it is asserted, but
the strikers will not permit it to be loaded.
