New York, Aug. 20.-The Consolidated
Traction Company, as the syndicate that
aims to gridiron most of the large cities in

Jersey City yesterday.
The syndicate has leased the existing

secured the passage Of an ordinance by
the Board Of Street and Water Commits
sioners that gave the company a monopoly
Of all the streets of Jersey City Heights,
and other parts Of the city, with provi.
sion for two main lines across the Hacken.
sack meadows to Newark.
Acting Mayor Reuben Simpson vetoed
the ordinance, but the street and water
commissioners unanimously passed the
measure over his objections.
The acting mayors vetoof the ordinance
for the vacation of the westerly end of
Railroad avenue to enable the Junction
Railroad Company to extend its lines
south Of the Pennsylvania railroad to the
various termini at Communipaw was also
amended at the same meeting.
1t Is probable that the courts will be APP
pealed to in both matters, as the passage
of both caused a storm OF protests and in
timation OF bribery are freely bruited.

Assertion In Parliament that Eugland's
Naval Supremacy is Vanishing.
LONDON, Aug. 29.-In the House of Com
mons yesterday the navy estimates came
up for consideration. The Right Hon.
Lord George Hamilton Conservative, men,
Der for Ealing division of Middlesex and
lately first Lord of the Admiralty, attacked
the government for neglecting to main
tain the efficiency of the navy. He de-
clared that unless determined effort was
made to secure new warships England's su-
premacy on the sea would vanish within three
years Already the French and Russian
battleships together reach total OF 25,
against % effective vessels of that class.
France and Russia have ten battleships in
course Of construction, while Great Britain
has only three In first-class cruisers only
was Great Britain slightly superior to
France and Russia. He suggested that
supplementary estimates be allowed for
the purpose of pushing the work Of build
ing new warships.
Sir William vernoh Harcourt, Chan
cellor of the Exchequer, replying to Lord
George Hamilton, held that the superior
ity of the British navy over the navies of
other countries was never so great as now.
He denied the accuracy of the figures pre-
sented by Lord George Hamilton. The
Chancellor of the Exchcquer concluded by
declaring that the government was fully
alive to all its obligations, and would
maintain the naval superiority Of Great
Britain.

VEGETARIANISNI.
A Frenchman Tells What Ii Did
when Practiced i'm Moderation.

Vegetarianism has made distinguished
convert in the person OF NJ. tranclsque
Sarcey. who since April last has not
touched any meat. He has written
most interesting account of his expert
ence is a Paris paper. He says he is
only a moderate vegetarian that is,
he only eschews meat and admits eggs,
butter cheese milk and fish into his
regime. Contrary to the expectation of
both himself and his friends. he finds
that he is in much more vigorous health
and in better working condition under
the influence of his new daily menu than
before At first he felt hungry an hour
or two after eating, but after fifteen days
the craving for meat passed away, and
now he not only eats at the same hours
as before but consumes much less.
The advantages of the diet are, he
SAYS. most remarkable. His mind is
clearer and his body more disposed for
work He is no longer sleepy after
meals. his brain is fresher, his limbs
more elastic, and. more astonishing still,
he has great resistance to fatigue. For
merly he felt the need of stimulants,
now he has suppressed them.
He does not smoke. and he is even en-
deavoring to diminish the quantities OF
coffee which he has been in the habit Of
taking. Altogether he is very enthusi-
astic and closes his dietic confession by
asking others to try his system. The
first week is rather hard to bear, but try
it; you will soon find the benefit" says
the eminent critic.
