one AS for what he says, that nobody
demands the passage of this bill, will
say that the press of Jersey City, irrespect-
i've of party, asks for some measure
be it ever so humble of reform. The larg-
est taxpayers beg for reform. The Sena-
tor from Hudson county cannot reply to
him; but / viii say that the Senator has
assured me that he would under no con
sideration receive any office under this
charter. AS for myself, there is no position
in the gift of the Mayor that would ac-
cept, am better off as am.
''THE LORD KNOWS WE NEED IT."
Il vote for this measure because it is
right, just, and for good government, and
the Lord knows we need it. 1t legislates
out OF office more Democrats than Re
pubiicans, and provides for their appoint
ment on Boards in which they are not now
represented. The people are to judge
this, and / would not be surprised to find
my friend Brown, who is a big taxpayer,
voting for 1t next Tuesday, because it is in
the interest of good government .
Mr.. O'Neill made his reply at some
length as to the charge that he was to have
an office, he said he might be self sacrific-
ing enough to accept one, but that was
his privilege as an American citizen. If
he did he was willing to let his past
actions in office speak for themselves.
Assistant Republican-in-C Chief Riker de-
clared that the bill made the Mayor too
autocratic.
Republican-in-Ch Chief Voorhees, favored
single headed Commissions. He also
criticised the bill because it did not pro
vide for the first exercise of the powers it
granted by the Mayor elected with the
knowledge that they were to be his.
Then party vote passed the bill, and it
was bundled away to the Senate Engros-
sing Clerk.

EASTERN WAR CLOUDS.


The Roumanian Ministry May Embroil
Russia with the Triple Alliance.
l[By Gable to the United Press.]
LONDON, April 5, 1SS9--A discordant
note has been sounded from one Of the
Balkan States, and careful students OF
European politics profess to see in it
possibilities of a European war that
would bring Russia and the Triple ALI
ance into the field against each other. and
involve one or more of the smaller powers.
The resignation of the Roumanian Minis
try has a significance that is of great
Importance in regard to this
possible war. The reason of their resigna-
ton is that they do not approve the act of
King Charles in prOclaiming his nephew,
Prince Ferdinand, his heir. Russia spoke
some days ago and condemded the King s
action, and as the Roumanian Ministry
are Russophiles to q man, they have
obediently followed their Russian mas
ter's lead and command, after a proper
time has been given for the rescind-
ing of the obnoxious proclamation.
The threat that Russia uttered after
Milan's abdicatlon from Servia pol
iticians believe to be no idle one and
many think that the Northern Bear is
now, making ready to put into effect the
words:-
Alexander, of Bulgaria, was the first
to go; Milan, of Servia, was second, and
Charles, of Ruomania, will come next"
King Charles is a Hohenzollern and has
no love for Russia. His choice of his
nephew Ferdinand for his successor is es-
pecially offensive to Russia, as Ferdinand
is also a Russophobe and an officer in the
Austrian army. The tendencies both of
Charles and his Crown Prince are towards
Austria. and the latter country would feel
it necessary to assist Roumania in a
struggle against Russia, and its action
would engage other members of the Triple
Alliance.
The resigning of his Ministry is warn
ing to King Charles which, if he does not
heed, will be but the precursor of more
definite notice from Russia.

missed His wife and s4oo.

Captain Gonzalez, of the tugboat Diver,
has for some time been watching his wife
and man in his employ by the name of
Tony He knew that she had become in
fatuated with Tony, but was waiting
for definite proof. Several days ago
he missed his wife, $400 and a lot of furni-
trre He found the furniture aboard a
canal boat, which Tony had become cap
tain of. He went aboard and demanded
his property Tony threatened to kill him
if he laid his hands upon anything
aboard the boat. Gonzalez appealed to JUS
tice Seymour, who sent Constable Gerrity to
investigate the matter. While Gonzalez
was at the Justices office the boat con-
tanning his property was towed off to
Rondout. 1t is supposed the wife had
taken the train to meet Tony at that
place. A warrant was issued for the ar
rest of Tony and a hearing will be had
this afternoon.

action and went back to the House for
more row. He presented a set of Scathing
resolutions requesting the Governor to
veto the bill. Speaker Hudspeth sug-
gested that they contained several mis-
statements of facts. Mr.. McDernit re-
Tented little, and finally he and Messrs.
Marsh and Harris were appointed a
committee to wait on the Governor, ap-
prise him officially of the facts, and re-
quest him to do nothing till the assem-
bly, had taken action. Governor Green
repeated the assurances he had made be-
fore, saying that if it appeared that the
House had not actually passed the bill,
or had passed it unwittingly, it should not
become law. Then Mr. McDermit, with
the assistance of Mr.. Riker, drew up the
following resolutions
Whereas Senate bill No. 1, 1876 has been recorded
in the minutes of the House as having passed
three readings, and has been signed by the
Speaker of the House and returned to the Senate,
and
Whereas, Said bill was not fully considered in
this House and was not voted for understand
ingly, and
Whereas Very many of the members of this
House recorded as having voted in the affirmative
on said bill voted for the same under q miSappre-
hension and now desire q further opportunity to
consider and vote upon said bill; and
Whereas The Senate has refused TO comply
with the request of this House and return the
said bill for further consideration, be it
Resolved, That his Excellency, the Governor,
be respectfully requested to veto said bill when
the same shall be delivered to him for his approval
if the same cannot be returned to this House for
its further consideration; and be it
Resolved That the resolution be transcribed on
the minutes Of this house, and copy of the same
be forthwith transmitted to his Excellency, the
Governor.
Mr. McDermitt offered a concurrent
resolution, which was adopted, asking
the Governor to return the same bill for
further consideration.
The most plausible explanation of the
matter is that in some way the vote on
the amendment was mistaken for the vote
on the final passage of the bill.
1t is said that the New Jersey Central,
which is part of the Philadelphia and
Reading, has the same problem at Eliza
bethport that the parent road has at
Atlantic City. 1t needs certain land for
the extension of its coal dumps, but the
owner asks several times its value. The
bill would enable it to not only get this
land, but almost anything else it wanted.
The subject will come up again on Mon
day night.

New Jersey is improving daily, the
horses showing better form in each
succeeding race. AT Gutenberg yes
terday capital days sport was
enjoyed, which was only marTed by the
failure of Prodigal and Osceola to appear
for the second race, in which they
were entered The committee has
very strong reason to believe the
entries were bogus, and Secretary White
head is investigating the matter. He has
discovered both kilograms were sent from

Sixth avenue The association will do all
in its power to prevent recurrence of the
same kind.
A very large entry has been received for
the last race, and the rule of the associa-

TRENTON, April 5, 1ss9-A sign is posted
in Senate, "Where is Smith?" Senator
Smith is down at Barnegat sporting, and
the remaining Senators are waiting for
him to come back to concur in the House
amendments to the charter. Mr.. Feeney
says he is going to hunt him this evening
and bring him back to put the charter
through tomorrow. 1t, is claimed that
advertising in the evening papers of Sat
urday and today will be the two days.
notice required. There is also talk Of
amending the charter.
The Assemblymen's blood is up about
the Railroad Grab bill Several of both
parties say they will defeat the bills of all
Seators who vote against returning the
bill
Adrian will be the first sufferer under
this rule.
Feeney and O'Neill started at two
O'Clock for the sand hills of South Jer.
sey to catch Senator Smith He has
been located with some degree OF
certainty at Harvard Cedars, where
he is shooting ducks. Harvard Cedars
is nine miles from a railroad station, and
there is not much of a road. If O'Neill
and Feeney don't get lost in the woods,
and succeed III finding Smith, they will
bring him back 10 vote for the amendment
tomorrow.
The amendments were reported in the
Senate today. When the Assembly con-
current resolution recalling the Railroad
Grab bill from the Governor reached the
Senate today, Gardner asked that it lie
over till Monday night. Edwards objected
and spoke of the extraordinary circum-
stances of the case. Adrain said that to
pass the resolution would be reflection
ON the intelligence of the House, and de-
cIared he would never vote for it. Gard
ner's motion was adopted by vote of 10
to Z.
1t is not believed that the Governor
would allow the the bill to become law in
any event.
A concurrent resolution amending the
constitution so as to allow special legisla-
tion for cities, boroughs and towns was
passed by the Senate.

The Tribune appears to feel deeply on the sub ject, as the following language will show: Through the promise or prospect of money he was persuaded to lend his name to an i'm dorsement as history of a romance which is but g caricature; which is an impeachment who ever sought to arrest the lawlessness and prime which ruled in this territory for more than thirty years. It wreathss lust with an aureole of splendor, and draws veil over the face of murder and robbery.
 The Italian wine industry is in . most de- pressed state owing to the quarrel with France. Having laid themselves out to suit the French demand and adapted their wines for mixing up with other sorts, the Italians find it difficult to secure new markets. One great fault of the wines is that they do not keep sound, and it is ROW proposed that they should be distilled into oognao or wine alco- hol, which is much superior to the alcohol made from potatoes, beet root or molasses. If the experiments which have been made on animals are fair test, the difference is very important. An equal dose of the two kinds was administered te two small pigs of the same age and constitution. The one which had taken wine alcohol looked drunk but by no means sick, and was able to walk; the other was unable to move and had to lie down in a state of collapse.
