Mr.. Harrigan. who is the lone champion
of the scheme in the House, moved that 500
copies of the opinion be printed and fur

to know what the opinion meant n asked
Mr.. Potts to tell him. Herbert modesaly de-

Mr.. Harrigan clamored for his motion.
The official printer who was standing beside
the Speaker whispered that it would be i'm
possible to nave the opinion printed by that

ooXEYITES DEMAND CASH.

SPOKANE, Wash, April 10, 1s94.-The In
dustrial Army has nearly doubled in mem
bership. but the majority Insist that they
will not walk, and if the citizens DO not put
up the cash to pay transportation say they
will capture q train and go out on it. The
army paraded the streets yesterday q thou
sand strong, with bands Of music and unique
banners. Several loads Of provisions were
gathered in, but the merchants will not give
cash until the army is ready to start. Many
women are joining. aud they are more en-
thusiastic than the men. The leaders say
that, with the coast delegations from Idaho
and Montana, they will have at least 5000
people to join the other armies in Washing

He BEAT THE CAR DRIVERS.

Cornelius Magnor, a driver employed by
Contractor Michael T. Connolly, was q pris-
oner in Justice O'Donnell's court this morn
ing charged with violation of a city ordin-
ance by Edward Malone, a driver employed
by the North Hudson County Railroad.
Malone was also a prisoner, being charged
with assault by Magnor. Magnor, it is al
legged, Intentionally blocked the passage of
the horse cars near the Erie Railroad cross
ing.
Malone left his car and seized Magnor's
horses by the head and attempted to pull
them out Of the way. He was attacked by
Magnor, and in self defense, he says, struck
him on the head with a switch bar. An ugly
wound was inflicted.
Magnor, who appears to have been in q
fighting mood, vii probably have to answer
charges Of assault on two other drivers with
whom he fought. Both men were held for a
further investigation.

Sailors are the children of the sea, Cut
off as they are from so much that makes life
merry, they take to simple sports and pets
This is especially true on the big white ships
that sail in the service Of Uncle Sam. The
most comfort Jack takes is in ~cultivating
pets. and on board every warship some sort
OF menagerie is to be found. The best and
most unique "happy family" in the navy Is

flagship Of the North Atlantic Squadron.
highest development IN q flagship, that for
NAL stiffness which great men have about
them is well nigh banished from the San
Francisco by the antics of Billy, the ships
goat. He is the idol of 400 prank loving
sailors, and his education is anything but
what q nice little black and white goats
should be.
But Billy is privileged because he would
be able to write ABB after his name If he
knew low. That means he Is an old sailor
who has crossed the line and has been around
the Horn. The San Francisco was built in
the city whose name she bears, and as she
was the first warship TO be constructed on
the Pacific Coast San Francisco couldn't do
too much to show appreciation of that fact.
Gifts were showered upon ship and crew.
Down in the ward room is a case of beautiful
silverware, and every cover has for a
handle a solid gold grizzly bear; and this
does very we'll indeed as a testimonial, but it
is nothing to Billy. San Francisco supplied
Billy as well. He was little more than a kid
when the ship sailed away for Valparaiso
to nave a land in settling the Chilean squab-
BILE that made SO much noise In the fall OF
1891. After that the San Francisco took her
time about getting around Cape Horn, but
Billy improved it all, until now he is an ac-
complished sailor. He took part with the
ships crew in the Columbian Naval Review,
and was every inch as good a goat as the
British capricornus on the big cruiser Magi-
cienne.
Billy is a privileged character. He has
the run Of the ship, as sailors say. His
favorite loafng place is IN the bridge" with
Lieutenant Kimball, the navigating officer;
but he is as much at home on the quarter
deck as the forecastle. Every day the men
are formed in line for an exercise walk
around the gun deck. When the drum taps
to fall in Billy scampers to the head Of the
line and marches to the piping of the fife as
long as he can. When at sea the roll is so
heavy that Billy's sharp hoofs can find no
foothold, and after a desperate struggle
he is pitched headlong into the scuppers.

S AND RELIGION.
Sensational Address of Presbyterian
Divine.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 10. 1S94.-Prof.
George n. Howison, of the University of
California, who was recently accused of
heterodoxy, and who is a Presbyterian d.
vine, created a mild sensation at last even
ing's session of the Congress Of Religions by
his address on the relation between religion
and reason. He said the old way Of looking
at religion was that religion and reason were
paramount to reason. The middle way was
the more gracious and insisted only that
capacity Of religion transcribed reason.
New doctrine, however, regarded reason as
making itself authority for religion. Reason,
the professor declared, is the source Of which
religion is an issue, and religion must ac-
commodate itself to reason. Reason might
change the idea Of how religion was re-
veaIed, hut it could not alter the fact of the
revelation itself.

EGYPTIAN NOTE
Excitement Over a Proposed Reser-
v0fr ON the Nile.

Excitement Over a Proposed Reser-
vofr ON the Nile.
The British Society for the Preservation of
the Monuments of Ancient Egypt has been
thrown into something like fits by the pro-
posal of the British engineers in Egypt to
make q reservoir for irrigating purposes on
the Nile at Assouan, which would submerge
the celebrated island and temples of PhilR.
The engineers are loath to damage the an
t~iquities, but they say that Assouan is a
good place for a dam, and that it is worth
considering, at least, whether one should
not be built there. Their excuse for max
ing such a proposition is the vast benefit to
the population of Lower Egypt which must
result from an improved and developed sys-
tenn of irrigation, and they suggest that If
Assouan seems so much the best place for a
lake as to he worth taking, the antiquities at
Phil2 could be taken down and set up some
where else.
But to the mind of the Preservation So
ciety such a proposal is fatty sacrilegious.
The society feels that even If the population
of modern Egypt should perish it can be re-
newed at any time in better quality and at
small expense, whereas the antiquities are
unique and inimitable, and ir%reparable if
once damaged.
There is very little American money in
vested in Egypt, and sympathy on this side
of the water will be likely to be with the
Preservation Society. The modern Egyptian
is extremely poor, but the impression pre-
walls that he has no adequate realization of
his own poverty, and never will have, unless
the British ~bondholder brings it home to
him. If he wore more clothes the Nile
navigating American would find him less
picturesque, and if he and his country be-
came actually prosperous, there would be
one less region that is fit to give the tired
Chicago man rest and a complete change.
But the views of Americans are not likely
to nave much influence on the future of
Egypt, and intending travellers who wish
to see Phila as it is will do well perhaps to
make some haste and view it while they
may.-Hafper's Weekly.

Bill to Divide Cities Into Wards
Passed by the House.
Special to the Jersey City Neses.
TRENTON, April 10, 1S94.-There was some
discussion in the House yesterday afternoon
over Mr.. Murphy's bill, requiring all hotels
over two stories in height to have fire
escapes. Mr.. McEwan opposed the measure,
claiming that 1t was in the interests Of a GER
tain escape. Mr.. Harrigan Joined MI. NC.
Evan. but their combined eloquence was OF
no avail, the bill passing by a vote of 45 to
is. For some reason, Mr.. Harrigan moyed
to reconsider the vote. On motion OF MI:
Murphy. Mr.. Harrigan's motion was laid
upon the table. Then Mr.. Flynn moved to
take Mr.. Harrigan's motion from the table:
This rapid multiplication of motions tangled
Mr.. Harrigan all up parliamentary, ana ne
got mad. He imagined that some one was
TRYING TO do something to him: he would not
tell what, and he insisted upon talking all
the time.
The Speaker after vainly attempting to
keep the old gentlemen within bounds,
stopped the proceedings and lectured MI.
Harrigan upon his unruly conduct. be
charged him with showing the chair dis
respect. Mr.. Harrigan expressed contrition
and a~pologized in his characteristic way,
which brought a smile even to the Speakers
face, and all was sunshine again. The mo
ton to reconsider was then taken up and
lost.
The bill of Mr.. Woolsey providing that
the Mayors of frst-class cities shal appoln6
wards, so as to provide for the new free
holders was passed. So was the bill appro,,
priating $4,000 for repairs to the Normal
School, and Mr.. Berry's bill prescribes the
manner in which buildings other than frame
shall be erected, reconstructed or moved IN
frst-class cities.

bin. except that it is amended to apply to
counties of the first class. Mr.. DAILY made
this change in order to ave the bill. Ras-

and in order to secure enough votes TO save
the bill he amended it. He now says it will
pass without doubt.
Mr.. DAILY introduced another bill which Is
of great interest to Hoboken. 1t provides
for the widening Of Newark street, between
Hudson and Washington streets. Newark
