Sen n iona1 Reports Denied By State
Department. Omcials.
New YORK, Jan. 3l.--A Washtn gton
special says: Adviccs received by the State
Department from Hayti are to the effect that
the negotiation between Admiral Gherardl
and the Haytieu Government in relation o
the Mole st. Nicholas have been indef-
bitely postponed. This ia the diplomatic
way Of putting 1t. What is meant is that
all hope must now be abandoned of ever
securing the Mole st. Nicholas for o coal
ING station for the American Government.
When the foregoing was shown to the
officials at the State Department they
were very positive in saying that no
such information had been received by
them.
There is absolutely nothing of the
sort before the Department ut this
time" said Assistant Secretary Adee,
"and / am not prepared to make any
conjectures on the subject. To be sure
the Mole Saint Nicholas is very de
sirable as coaling station, being
located at point on the extreme north
ern coast of Hayti and in proximity TO
The WiDdward Passage, between Cuba
and Hayti, and there have been negotia-
lions for years to secure this coveted
position"

THE SOUTHERN TRADE


In their dealings with the nations south
of us, including Mexico Central America,
the West Indies aud South America, the
four great commercial nations of the world
divide the trade us follows:
The United States sells the Americas
$S2, ,000, 900 and buys of them 5000, ,000, 900;
Great Britain sells them 1852, 100000 and
buys S0T, 100000; France sells them $780,
100000 and buys $10s, ,000, 900, and Germany
sells them $l3,000,000 and buys $22, ,OOO, 900.
England has steadily gained in the bal
ance of trade, while France and the United
States, though increasing their exports
thither, have increased their imports thence
SO much faster that the balance has steadily
grown against them. In 1860 Great Britain
sold the Americas south of us $S7, ,000, 900
and bought Of them SOL 200, 900. She now
buys $97, 100000 of their grods and sells
them $4,000, 000-draining them of $685.

A Rare Treat.

Bridgeton has been fortunate enorr !,
to get H. 8. Hastings, the great ami
inidel lecturer of Boston, one CT the
ten days he is to be in this State. M-.
Venter, the General Secretary Of tt,
Trenton Y. M. G. A., wrote Mr.. Has.
ings, asking him if he could come to
that city and give one of his lectures
on the Inspiration of the Bible"
After considering the matter he wrote
that he would give ten days to New
Jersey, if places could be arranged.
free of charge, for the good of the
cause. The Secretary of our Associa-
ton, hearing Of it, made arrangements
immediately to secure him one of the
ten days and was successful. Mr..
Hastings began his lectures Friday at
Rutgers College, and win be here on
Thursday evening, and give his
lecture in the First Baptist Church.
1t is not yet known what his subject,
will be, but whatever it is it will be
rare treat. Mr.. Hastings is without
doubt one of the best lecturers ia this
country upoa the subjects ne speaks

On The War Path.

Jersey Justice is on the track of a
guilty couple now supposed to be liv-
ing together as man and wife, either in
Vineland, Millville or somewhere be-
tween the two places. Joseph Wright,
several months since, deserted wife
and five children in Olneyville, R. l.,
leaving them in destitute condition,
and eloped with Mrs. Eliza Babbitt.
Recently letters have been received at
Olneyville, one from the man, dated at
Millville, and another from the woman,
dated at Vineland. John Babbitt, the
husband of the runaway woman, is
now in this vicinity hunting up the
elopers. He is passionate man, and
trouble will doubtless result in case of
a meeting. 1t is rumored that Wright
has abandoned the woman, aud is on
his way to England Vineland Ne,cs.

The LEGISLATURE.

The session of the Legislature is now
in its fourteenth week; one week more
and it will reach the high water mark.
Only three Legislatures have ever con-
tinued in session for more than fifteen
weeks. These are known as the long
sessions, and they occurred during the
years of 1876, 1884, 1886 and 1889. Dur
ing the Laverty impeachment trial, in
1886, there was recess from April 16
until June l. 1t will probably take
four more weeks to complete the Hud-
son county investigation, and that will
make this session the longest in the
history of the State. As the feeling
between the Senate and the House is
growins very bitter, it is hard to tell
what changes and bitches will take
place during the next four weeks.
The indications are that there will
not be any more bills introduced this
session. The list shows that up to date
there have been 258 Senate bills and
67S House bills introduced, making a
total OF 1885, Last year the number
amounted to 1874. There was a big
batch of partisan bills among them,
which materially swelled the number.
Two hundred and ninety.seven bills
that became laws were passed. In 1888
the session only extended through 10
weeks The number of bills ran up to
755. Out of this number only 337 be-
came laws. During the turbulent ses-
sion OF 1887 the number of bills intro
duced was 5S7, and of this big collec-
ton only 1872 became laws.

President Harrison Thursday sent
to the United States Senate, for confir-
nation; the name Of John w. Newlin,
for Postmaster, of Millville. The fight
over the Postmastership in Millville,
has been big one. George Payne was
hustling candidate, and had large
following. City Recorder Hogate was
also after the position, but was beaten
in the race by his father-in-law, Mr.
Newlin. The successful candidate is
the editor of the Republican, and has
held Office under the Republican ad-
ministration for years. He was Post
master of Millville when Mr.. Cleve-
land was elected President, and was
removed to make room for Mr.. Lud-
lam. He will now re-assume the re-
spousibilities of the Office.
