SENATORS NOT AGREED.
No Deal as to Federal Patronage
smith sticks TO Haynes.

WASHINGTON, JuIys31, 1S94.-A few days
ago a special despatch from here appeared
in the Trenton True american signed
"West.n which has caused considerable at
tention by the New Jersey delegation in
Congress on account of its misstatements
The story which was made up, evidently,
by some intriguing politician, was that
Senators Mcpherson and Smith had come to
an understanding as to the remaining Fed
eral offices in New Jersey, that Mr.. Nc
Pberson was to AVE his man for District
Attorney and Mr.. Smith should have the
Collector OF Internal Revenue.
Senator Smith said today that there was
not one word of truth in the story, and Mr..
Mathews, Secretary TO Senator Mcpherson,
made the same statement as to his principal.
The truth is that the appearance of MIR.
Beekman as a candidate for the u. :. Dis
trict Attorneyship has complicated and de-
layed the appointments. His introduction
to the President and to the Attorney General
does not naturally mean his appointment,
but as it appears that General Heppenhei-
mer who has been Endorsed by Senator
Smith and was understood to be satisfactory
TO Miles Ross and Senator McPhersonl has
engaged passage for Europe and has an
uounced that he does not want the job. Mr.
Beekman very likely will get it. The whole
matter is in the hands of National Commlt-
teennan Miles Ross. 49,
The coIlectorship is still in statu5 SqQlto.
Ex-AIayor Lawrence I. Fell, who stands
very close to Senator Smith, said today that
it was all nonsense to talk about James9Con-
nelly for the place. MIR. Connolly meyer
wanted it and the Junior Senator from New
jersey was still more heartily in favor OF
ex-Mayor Haynes, who was strongly backed
by Judge Gottfried Kruger. On the other
side, Mr.. Mcpherson says that he will not
Iron Sam KlotZ and thus it aDpearS that
the problem is not likely to be solved for
some time to come.
The Beekman candidacy for the District
Attorneyship is deprecated by several Demo
cratic Congressman from the State. They
say that he lacks the ability, and that James
Parker was by far the ablest man proposed
for tine position, and would have had the
place If it had not been for Miles Ross,
whose son is a sort of political adviser here

THE 30 TREE.
A Remarkable Vegetable Monument
That stood 2.I75 Years.

A Remarkable Vegetable Monument
That stood 2.I75 Years.
In October, 1887, the sacred Bo tree, at
that time supposed to be the Oldest living
vegetable monument on the earth's surface,
was uprooted and destroyed by a cyclone
which swept ove the Island of Ceyion. The
oldest written description of the Sacred Bo
tree now in existence is that by the cele-
brated Chinese historian, Fa Han, who
visited the island and the sacred tree in the
year Ala A. d. According to this learned
Chinaman the tree was at that time 702
years old, having been planted in the year
2SS, before our era, by King D~evinipiatissa.
As soon as it was known throughout the
island that the tree had been de-
stroyed by the fury of the elements,
great crowds of mourpers gathered
around its sacred remains and held
regular funeral services for two or three
weeks. After the season of mourning was over
the tree was cut into proper lengths, each
piece wrapped separately in white cloth and
cremated with the same funeral rites which
would nave been given a member of the
royal faulty.
So persisted the sacred Bo tree, one of the
most wonderful natural growths known to
the world-a tree which had been worShlpped
daily, one might almost say hourly, for 2I75
wears, and under th~eshadows OF its branches,
perhaps, heathenish rites had been enacted,
exceeding in solemnity anything known to
the tree w~orshippers of either ancient or
modern times.-St. Louis Republic,

T H NUISANCE AGAIN.
when the Police Are Away tn
Canal BatIers Play.

For the past week the police in Lafayette
and Greenville nave relaxed their vigilance
SO far as the bathing e-eanal nuisance is
concerned, and as a result it has revived and
is worse than ever. Crowds of men and
boys are daily seen splashing in the waters
near to the Pacific avenue bridge, Linden
avenue bridge, the bridge at West Bergen
and near. to. the Avenue C (Greenvillel
bridge, yet no policeman comes by. and the
bathers make a fine racket and not a decent
spectacle for the many ladies who are COM
PEELED to pass that way.
These bathers, too, are becoming ex-
tremely ~insolent and not very particular IN
the choice of their language. 1t was only
last night, at the foot of Linden avenue, two
young girls were strolling across the bridge,
when three big youths sitting on the guard
rail of the bridge, without a rag on them,
began "iollying,> as they termed 1t, the
girls. They had evidently said something
Insulting, because a NEWS reporter met
them and they looked annoyed, as they hur-
ried off the bridge.
This morning, at Pacific avenue, the crowd
numbered about fifteen persons, the major
ity being grown youths; while at Linden
avenue there must lave been a score of men
and boys.
Policemen instructed to break I'D the
nuisance say that VIXEN they come in sight
the bathers rush out and begin to dress, and
as fast as the officers back is turned resume
the bathing.
"We can't stand at the bridge all the
morning, you know" said one of them ssbut
if I do get hold of some of them they will
not repeat the practice"

RIFLE TESTS DELAYED.
The Failure to Furnish Barrels
Hampers the Brcech Inventors.

The Failure to Furnish Barrels
Hampers the Brcech Inventors.
NEWPORT, r. l., Aug. l, 1S94.-0wing
to delay in delivering rifle barrels to the in
ventors not q single one of the new breeeh
~mechanisms and magazines for theq new
navy rifle has been received at the torpedo
station, where the Rife Board was to as
semble today. the board already having de-
cided upon the calibre, which is so original
with the members that it was agreed that
the government should furnish barrels to
the inventors for experimenting
Twenty-seven such barrels were put out
though at a later date than the board in
tended and it is anticipated that twenty in
ventors will submit m-echanisms to the
board. Enough of these will be IN SO that
the board now expects to assemble about
August Is. The conditions upon which the
Inventions submit their mechanisms is such
that the board will not be obliged to accept
any one breach in it's entirety, but may take
the better points in each and combine them
in one and thus secure as nearly perfect a
breech and magazine as is possible.
Tine projectile will probably be 135 grains,
nickel jacketed, which has proved superior
for penetration. The explosive for the
cartridge has not yet been decided upon as
reported. The report that the government
will manufacture the rifle barrels when the
rife is fully determined upon, and then turn
them over to the arms builders for finishing
with breech and butt. is erroneous.
The practice ship Bancroft is expected to
sail for Hampton Roads this afternoon! Her
Howell torpedo tube in the bow and White
head tube on the berth deck have been put
in working order by torpedo station officials.
Two Whitehead torpedoes n warheads of
Howell torpedoes have been put aboard.

never has been a Cleveland man. His ener,
gies and his talents and all the resources OF
his political aeumen during the campaign OIL
'2 were employed by him in an endeavor TO
secure for Mr.. Hill the Presidential noinina-
tion. Mr.. Hill, the able, the acute, the con-
sistent and the stanch democrat, was the
ideal leader to whose ascending star the
Junior Jersey Senator was then pleased 70
doff the cap of recognition and fealty: brt
times have changed since the early days OF
'92, and Smith, besides being out with his
party platform, against his party chief, Is
opposing Hill, his once beau ideal OF leaders.
Senator Smith, with that facility which
repetition brings, is pleased to vociferate I
am a democl afr Resonant iteration OF
Senator Hills famous declaration hurtles
well on the air, but falls with unconvlncmg
force upon the ear. When Mr.. Smith pro
claimed that nothing would move HIM to re-
cede from the stand he had taken touching
the high tariff, trust-favofing amendments
to the Wilson bill made by the Senate, he
seemed to have. deliberately designed a sentl-
ment which must inevitably place him out
side of the party breastworks.

BURGLARS IN GREENVILLE.
One of Them Surprised, Fires OF
His Revolver.

Burglars are making their annual visits to
Greenville and the residents of the celery
district are becoming alarmed. During the
past few nights many attempts have been
made by the thieves to plumber residences,
but in every instance they were scared of
before they secured what they were after.
The latest attempt was made at half past
one O'Clock yesterday morning when the
eighteen year old son of Mr.. Charles
Schmolze of Old Bergen Road was awakened
by a noise. Mr.. Schmolze's residence is one
OF the largest and mast imposing houses on
the west side of Greenville and stands on a
plot OF ground which runs through from Old
Bergen Road to Gator avenue.
Entering the grounds on the Gator avenue
side the burglar clanbered up on the roof OF
the rear porch. While trying to force the
catch on one of the windows he awakened
young Schmolze who called his father. The
burglar upon hearing this pulled a revolver
from his pocket and fired a shot through the
window at the place where he supposed
young Schmolze was lying. He then
clambered down the porch and disappeared
before Mr.. Schmolze, ST., reached the yard.
The bullet fired flew wide of tue mark and
Embedded itself in the wall. The Fifth pre-
cinct police have been notified of the affair
and the policemen have received orders to
keep a sharp lookout during the night.

THE SMALLPOX PEST.


Danger to other Cities.
New YORK, Aug. ], 1S94-An inspector
of the Division of Contagious Diseases yes
terday found Jennie and Margaret Melon
aid, aged respectively AZ years and 9
months old, sick with smallpox at their
home in the tenement No. 22S West Sixty
fourth street,
Christina Mcdonald. mother of the two
children, had also been down with the Dis
ease, but was entirely recovered. she was
taken sick about a month ago, and the
physician who was called in to attend her,
pronounced her to be suffering with chicken
pox. She was allowed to remain at home,
and no precautions were taken. Now it has
developed that she had smallpox all the
time and communicated it to her children.
Mrs. Mcdonald and her two little tones were
sent up to North Brothers Island.
Joseph PilchrisJ. a child of one year, was
found suffering from smallpox at No. 62
Varick street and was removed to Riverside
Hospital. Until a week ago his parents
lived at Newark, N. j., where smallpox is
raging. They removed to this city, and yes
terday the boy was taken sick and was
found to a v smallpox.
Chief Inspector Doty of the Bureau OF
Contagious Diseases said today that it would
be almost impossible to guard against people
coming here from Newark. Ii they were
exposed to the contagion at Newark they
will be sure to develop the contagion here.
Dr.. Doty does not fear any serious results as
New York City is now well vaccinated and
any outbreak of the disease can be readily
controlled.
