GERMANS OF NEWARK AssAILING CAUCUS TEMPER
ANCE MEASURES
TRENTON, " J.. Feb 8.-Thc action of the Republican
caucus he temperance measures Caused profound
sensation throughout the state, although the emotion
Is Of widely different character IN several localities
directly affected. There arrived hero this morning
from Newark a small but inds putably representative
delegation, composed Of leading brewer, Joseph Hen
sler; the editor Of tho leading German Republican
paper Frederick Kuhn, of the Newark Frce ZeItung" :
and Major Carl LcntZ a prominent German Repub-
lcan, and connected with the brewing interests as
counsel II may easily be imagined that they enter
tanned opinions quite the reverse Of those expressed
by the Republican yesterday and they assailod
the Of the Republican members with protest and
argument OF character which would have considerable
influence among partsans less determined on line
Of policy than the members of yesterdays caucus.
The assertion Is made by these gentlemen, and by
others who occupy simllr positions. that the local
option phase Of the proposed measure would cause
perilous bolt on the part Of tho Germans who COM
prise large fraction Of the voting population OF New
ark The declaration IS made more emphatically
by tie representatives of the brewing interests In the
lobby here. Tho opposing elements seem to forget
that they were not without representation In the
caucus There were several members with. large
German constituencies who thought the local option
clause would dangerously affect tho vote in their dis
rlcts and who were warmly opposed to the adoption
thereof, personally and politically. They fought
the majority in the caucus and two Of them were
finally excused from voting The others acquiesced.
The committee in charge OF tho bill TO be drawn
Will submit the conclusions reached to caucus next
week The question: To b. determined arc the amount
Of the license fec and the exact nature Of the local
option act The fec will not be lower It IS thought,
than $3.50 while the local option bill before the House
Will probably be adopted as the measure for that pur-
pose. As the bill pro'deS that action for an cleo
ton the license question shall take place until
petition has been presented to the circuit court signed
by Onetenh of the legal voters Of the county, 1t Is
considered sufficiently guarded
Tn, whole situation may, Of course. be modified
when members return from their constituents next
week, but the contingency to be remote at
present.
Tho House to-day defeated the bill to make railroad
excursion tickets good until used after debate of
some length. The measure known the Sea Fence

ALBERT STILL LEADS THE RACE.

MAKING 34S MILES THREE DAYs-PANcHoT SIX
MILES BEHIND
The weary grind OF the pedesr fans who are trying
beat the worlds sx-day record continued yesterday In
the Madison Square Garden without much variation
from the tedious work of the day before. From
unknown the attendance keeps up almost TO
spectaby. so far numbers red rivalry
have sprung among the friends and hackers OF
tho competitors. and the only way in which they can
show is In the giving of floral pieces and presents Of
various kinds
Albert who leads, always carries small ebony fetch
which he thinks is charmed and will carry him through.
The Fourth Ward hackers of the Greaser found this
out and last night the darksknned Mexican carried
stick warranted to bring all kinds OF blessings to its
owner But the rivalry particularly In floral
designs and good luck horseshoes handsome pillows
and massive red hearts all made Of beautiful and costly
flowers handed to the walkers In such profuson that
they arc really tired out by carrying them around the
sawdust With each presentation is a mighty
cheer graduated OF course by the eaborateness Of tho
gift; II the match lasts many days more all the
friends of the pedestrians will be made through
their enthusiasm. The mems cabins look like summer
houses.
Poor old Stout the Arab" plodded along painfully
oil day. not adding many miles to his former small score.
Each step that he takes as though 1t would be his
last because OF the pain it him. His hacker has
wager OF $3.50 that lie will walk 300 miles in the six
days At the rate he Is going he will get through
tine next month
Albert still leads and is apparently fresh as ever
Hery follows him closely and is booked to win by the
wise ones. Panchot and the Mexican nearly side by
sde the Groaser is breaking down. and he bled from
the at intervals for six hours yesterday. The
Bangot Ghost" tainted away early in the morning
while the track. little water revived him and
he plodded along again in his peculiar awkward way.
Hart the colored boy, is confident OF being near the
at the end, and sroke has bet all that he has
got that will win. Oh Mary Day still plods in
hopes OF getting in at the finish for Of the gate
money. Little Noremac rested little and kept to his
