sTecfal TO the JERSEY Citg Ne'1s
TRENTON, March 4, 1S91.-There was
considerable fric tion in the House over
the bill which passed the Senate in the
morning providing that license in
boroughs of the second class shall be
granted by the Court of Common Pleas
Instead of by the Council as now. The
bill was rushed over 10 the House and it
was advanced step by step under sus-
pension of the rules.
Mr.. Hoover of Warren wanted to
amend it SO that the people should be al
lowed to decide by ballot whether they
wanted licenses granted by the Court or
Council He claimed that the bill came
from Senator Cornish, although intro
duced by Senator Werts. and was in
tended TO meet the case of Washington,
where the Council had licensed three
hotels but refused TO license saloons. The
amendment was lost.
Mr. Campbell came to the assistance of
the bill aud made a long speech in its
favor. Mr. Albright opposed IL, saying
that it was a safe plan to leave the mat
ter in the hands Of the people. The bill
passed by 81 10 D.
The House also passed the Senate bills
appropriating $50, 000 for an additional
building for the Soldiers Home. the bill
providing that all licenses granted by the
court for year shall mean from one
term to the corresponding term OF the
next year, and the House bill allowing
writs Of error in contested election

It gives Hudson and Essex each one new
Assemblyman and takes one each from
Morris and Burlington. The Hudson
Delegation held meeting this morning
ana sent committee to request Senator
Barrett of Essex to look after Hudson's
interests in the Senate. Mr.. Barrett con-
sented and will now have the honor and
labor of representing the two largest
counties In the State.
A resolution by Mr.. Lane instructinR
the Judiciary Committee to amend the
new tax bill SO as to exempt volunteer
firemen from taxation to the extent OF
$500 was referred to the Committee.
Much OF the morning session was
taken uD with the discussion OF the bill
authorizing the Mayor of Newark to ap-
poing three sinking fund Commission
ers. The bill went to third reading.
The Montgomery street Diploma mill
dies hard. After being defeated In both
houses the proprietors OF the mill appealed
to the Governor, who gave them hear

ments were used, as before the House.
The Governor viii probably sign the bill
which closes the mill. The Senate con-
firmed the nomination OF McGrath Tor
District Court judge.
CALLING HALT.
The Governor has called halt on the sal
airy grab measure, and has served notice
on the Legislature that he will not sign
any bills Increasing salaries. IL is re-
ported that he does not approve of the
measure passed yesterday increasing the
salaries OF the law judges in certain coun-
ties, and will not approve the measure
A Joint caucus was held at noon to con-
slider the Governors warning and the
Congressional Reapportionment bill. A
strong effort will be made to settle local
claims for the extra Congressman which
falls to the State by provid-
ing for Congressman at large.
An attempt will be made to divide Hud-
son and Essex into two districts each.
Despite Pidcock's protestations the old
Fourth will be broken up and will consist
hereafter of Warren, Hunterdon and part
of Mercer. The other portion of Mercer
will be utilized to make another Demo
cratic district in the southern part OF the
State The plan Is to make six OF the
eight districts Democratic.
1t has been decided 10 make forty OF the
sixty Assembly districts Democratic.
The general opinion Is that the tax bill
Is doomed AS this leaves only the re-
districting bills to pass aud the calendars
of both Houses are light, many think the
final adjournment is at hand. The bill
authorizing the City Hall Commission to
sell city property for new City Hail pur-
poses passed the House.

THE FIREMEY IN THE RIGHT.


Ihey secured the success OF the Dinan
Beneft-Funds All Right.
A contemplate attack, on its face one
sided and showing that no attempt was
made to verify the statements, was made
in yesterdays issue OF the Journal on
members Of No. Engine Company, who
did 50 much to make the recent Dinan
dement, 50 successful. Charges were
made which cannot be substantiated.
Inc entertainment was first thought Of
BY No. 3's members, aud 1t was Captain
Louis Meyers who secured from ProDri-
et0r woods the use OF Woods Hall for
nothing, and also Begg's orchestra. John
Erwin, for the engine company, got the
printing done by George Medole, who did
IL willingly for nothing. The engine
company recognized the Aonia Society as
volunteers for the occasion, and while
they were willing the Aonias should get
the credit OF the entertainment, they
nevertheless did not intend, nor was It SO
understood. that they should have charge
Of the financial matters. Joseph Cal
iaghan, for the engine company, tooK
tickets that night. and about haif-past
nine, when all those VINO would attend
were present, he. accompanied by
Uriah WashDurn, James p. Van
Cluf and Samuel Wright, took tickets
to Captain Meyers house, where they
were counted, receipt being given 10
Meyer, which he still has. There were
less than six hundred tickets As TO the
complimentary tickets issued, Erwin
says there were only eight. Six OF these
TO Mr.. Medole, VINO gave them TO some
Door people and two TO Brooks & Denton,
the DnnJOists. who were, by the way,
secured Dy the firernen. The two boys
referred to as distributing pro-
grammes were Captain Meyers
son and Robert Bumstead, and when the
policeman was requested by Mccarthy to
put them out, he wouldn't do so, as there
was no cause. That Mayor Cleveland was
insulted is base lie. He was seated in
the front row, awaiting theopening of the
entertainments The mother and wife of
Stoker Dinan, accompanied by Mrs. Di-
mans father and sister, were expected
and four seats alongside Of Mr.. Cleveland
were reserved for them. This is all the
insglt there was. AS to the expense Of
woodcut it was authorized and will be
paid.
Now the main point, the money. This
is deposited with the New Jersey Title
Guarantee and Trust Company in the
name OF Louis Meyers. There is S342 q,
the amount of private Subscriptions, and
1868. the amount realized for tickets sold
by the firemen and turned over to Mr..
Meyers as as the duly accredited person.

Senator Dubois OF the Opinion
That They Should Be
Disfranchised.
The Church Always Opposes Its Au-
thority to Law and Its Followers
Are Poor Citizens
Southern Composition Closing Down
Many Blast Furnaoes--News
in General.

WASHINGTON, Jan. l4.--Senator Fred
L. Dubois, OF Idaho, the youngest mem
| Der OF the senate, is only 80 years of
age. Tie looks even younger than that,
Senator Dubois Is an uncompromising
foe Of the Mormons, His appearance
gives At first an impression Of youth and
inexperlence with public affairs, which
Is dlspelled upon acquaintance. Senator
Dubois had an unusual experience In the
west. After he graduated from Yale
college In 1872, he had his courage and
character tested tn the uttermost when
he was United States marshal for four
years I'm Idaho. Ii was while he was In
that Office that he learned the strength
OF the hostility OF the Mormon church
la Its opposition to the federal authori-
ties. IL was through Mr. Dubois efforts
that the Mormons were disfranchised In
Idaho. In the days when IL was terri
tory. this element In that state had
thrown nearly always Its entire vote SOL
idly I'm one direction, Thus far the Nor
mons In all the territories have worked
with the democratic party.
The legislature In Idaho will consider
this winter the question of continuing
this disfranchisemen under It's organiza-
tion as a state. It Is probable that the
action OF the territorial Legislature will
be ratified. The MOru.ons have several
times tried to buy of the influence of
Senator Dubois by Offering him their
solid support In politics N he would
withdraw his support from the move
ment TO disfranehlse them.
Senator Dubois says that the influence
Of the Mormons Is, instead OF diminish
Ing, constantly increasing. Nothing
that the government has yet done has
had the slightest effect in making them
comply with the laws OF the United
States. Polygamy tiouTishes to-day In
all Of tho strongholds OF Mormonlsm.
The church always opposes with It's
influence tho federal authorities In
the west. Now they are seeking
10 have Utah admitted as q state. This
movement has strong democratic
support at Washington, because the
Mormons are democrats so far as they
have any politics outside of their church.
They are pledged To make Utah demo-
mousse wilf pas tnB bHIi aaEhsaAsfk OExals
and hope that the senate VIII be close
enough upon this subject 10 permit them
70 pass the bill there. Senator Dubois
thinks that the best method of disarm-
Ing the power Of the Mormons II through
disfranchisement He would not permit
them. II he had his way, 10 have any
share In tho state or national govern
ment The reason for this h that they
are thoroughly disloyai. They refuse TO
obey the laws of the United States and
the doctrines of the church itself teach
treason 10 the national government.

TREATS rHEa KINDLY.
Gen. Miles Disposition Makes MANY
Friends for Him Among the Indians.

Gen. Miles Disposition Makes MANY
Friends for Him Among the Indians.
/ PINE RTD6E AGENCY, Jan. l3.--Con-
trary TO expectations, there was no con
| ference between the chiefs OF the hostiies
| and Gen. Miles. The latter says the In
dians are still timld and apprehensive Of
punishment and he proposes to allow q
| couple OF days to eiapse before attempt
| ing TO bring the negotiations 10 q close
| Thus far the disposition he has shown 20
treat the Indians kindly has made for
| him many warm friends among them
| This fact, coupled with the pains which
| Capt. Pierce, the new agent, Is taking TO
| show the Indians that everything
they are entitled TO under the treaty
Will be issued To them, will undoubt
edly have q beneficial effect, although
until the trouble is really over, there is
ever present possibility that inju-
dicions action on the part of someone
may precipitate blooeshed.
A member OF company q, Second In
fantry, who came In to-day with de-
tachment OF the Seventh infantry under
Mai. Egbert, reports that GOO bucks
broke away from the hostile camp last
night and have been followed by Col.
Sanford and Col. Henry. At headquar-
ters no such report has been received,
and Assistant AdtL Gen. Corbln says the
rumor was occasioHed by the fact that
the commands mentioned had left ia the
direction Of Wounded Knee on 4 scout
situation. The hostiles are still In camp
and the chiefs may come In tomorrow.
There Is now under discussion the adj
visibility of enlisting scouts for service
on the frontier The agency Is now
guarded by force OF ninety-nine Indian
policemen, sixty OF whom were enlisted
for two months at the time the trouble
broke out To thirty-nine regular
policemen an offer was made, giving
them an option of entering the scouting
service or remaining in the police force.
In the former their pay wowld be sls
per month with an allowance for horses,
bringing the total to S25 per month.
This party OF scouts will be distinct from
the scouts now under command Of Lieut..
Taylor, OF the Ninth cavalry. who have
enlisted since the opening Of the cam
paIgn. Taylor will endeayor 70 take his
command with him 10 Fort Robinson at
the close OF the difficulty and render
them the beau ideal troop OF the irregu-
lar cavalry. The Indian police being as
sured that they will be given permanent
employment, they have, to q man, de-
ciied To become scouts.
Big Foot's wife, injured on Wounded
Knee creek, died last night.
Red Eagle, son of American horse,
visited the hostile camp this afternoon
sand on his return this afternoon said the
Brules want to stay at this agency and
want TO keep their guns. Red Eagle
thinks It would be very unadvisabie for
Gen. Miles to say anything at all about
disarming now. The old men are all
right and want to avoid fight, but the
young ones have bad hearts and the fact
that they are surrounded by troops and
cannon doesn't cut any figure with them.
