NO NEWS OF THE KEARsARGE
The Men ON the Reef Will Probably
he Rescued Today.

:
WASHINGTON, D.. c., Feb. 9, 1S94.-Lieut.
Brainard, the officer of the Kearsarge, who
was despatched to Colon by Admiral Stan
ton to secure assistance, has sent no
further message to the Navy Depart
ment about sailing to the relief of the
castaways. 1t is supposed that Lieutenant
Brainard has secured the mail steamer City
of Para, which he cabled was available, and
that the steamer has sailed to the relief of
the people on Roncador. In his
second dispatch to the Department
Lieutenant Brainard said the City of Para
was taking cargo and could sail imme-
diately. Commodore Ramsay, Chief OF the
Navigation Bureau, says that undoubtedly
by this time the Para has sailed
When the Para has taken the castaways
on board, she will return to Colon, where Or
ders for the disposition of the officers and
men of the Kearsarge will be sent. Admiral
Stanton and his ships company will be
brought back to New York op the Para and
reassigned to service.
Messages of inquiry from anxious rela-
tives, and friends are pouring in into the
Bureau or Navigation, but no news can be
given them other than that contained in the
press dispatches. There need be no anxiety,
however for the sefety of the men on the
reef, and they will probably be rescued to-
morrow if not today.
The wreck of the Kearsarge leaves the
North Atlantic naval station in a very i'm
poverished condition. The other ships at
tached to it are the Monitor Miantonomoh,
the dynamite cruiser VeSuvius, and the gun
boat Machias, and the last named is to be
placed out of commission in few days.

FRENCH FORCES SURPRISED.
Bu Gable to the United Press.

H
PARIS, Feb. 9, 1S94-The Journal Des
De5ats today gives details of the defeat by
members of the Nomad tribe, known as
Tuaregas of the French forces near Timbuc-
too, the first report of which was received
yesterday at the Colonial Office from the
Governor of Senegal The Debats says the
forces defeated was the column which re-
Gently occupied Timbuctoo. 1t was com
manded by Colonel BONNER, co mmander of
the French force on the Upper Niger. The
paper says that the column was surprised at
night when three days march west of Tim
buctoo. Many of the officers were killed,
and others, including Colonel BONNER, are
missing.
Prime Minister Perier, however, does not
think that the column attacked was the one
commanded by Colonel BONNER.
From the advices received here, it is ap-
parent that Colonel BONNER, with part of
the French force, had left Timbuctoo and
gone westward of that place, when he was
attacked by the natives. The Tuaregs now
threaten Captain PHILIPPE, who was left in
command of the force holding Timbuctoo
during the absence of Colonel BONNER
LATER.-The Secretary of the Colonial De
partment this afternoon received a telegram
from ST. Louis Senegal stating that Colonel
BONNER, eleven other officers and 25O pri-
Yates were massacred by the Tuaregs.
The Steele states that the Government in
tends to hold Timbuctoo and has ordered
that reinforcements be sent for that purpose.

oHIEF DONOVAN MIsQUoTED.
He Did Not Say Father Corrisan Was
Insane.

A story was published in the Erening
BacknatD,ber last evening which represented
Chief Donovan, of the Hoboken Police De-
partment, as asserting that he considered
the priest insane several days before he died.
The Bocknumber said that ''Chief Donovan
does not hesitate to say now that he was and
is convinced that Father Corrigan was of
unsound mind" The Chief declared to
reporter for THE JERSEY CITY NEWS this
morning that he never made such state
ment. The chief felt grieved over the publi
cation and said it was shame to misre-
present man who was always warm
friend of the drad priest
s'What told the reporter" stated the
chief, twas that thought Father Corrigan,
being unable to complete the big work he
had undertaken in building the new church,
was disturbed of mind, but never said he
was insane The reporter asked me if
officers had been called from the street, and
l replied that Father Corrigan had asked
for a policeman to be stationed there. l
did not think this the request
of an insane man, for so much had happened
inside the parish house, exciting comment
outside that one might naturally fear inter-
ference So when Father Corrigan requested
that a policeman to be stationed in the house
Il did not think it strange. One was
kept there for week previous to his death
and afterwards until the estate was in the
hand of the executors. OF course the watch
was changed, by detailing different police
men there.
II talked with Father Corrigan up to
three days of his death and did not think he
was out of his head No, never made such
statement to any reporter"

G. 4. R. ENCAMfMENT.
Won't Remove the Restrictions
From the Soldiers Home
at Kearny.
Special to the Jersey ostp Ns.rs.

TRENTON, Feb. 8. 1S94.-At the afternoon
session of the encampment of the G. A. r.,
yesterday, there was some discussion over
the effort to have the Sons of Veterans
made an auxiliary of the department, SO as
to prepare them to keep alive the spirit Of
the Grand Army when the veterans pass
away. The resolution to have these young
men admitted to membership was adversely
reported, and the report concurred in by
the department.
THE SOLDIERS HOME.
Captain Ernest Stahl of this city, argued
for the removal of the restriction that now
makes admission in the Soldiers Home at
Kearny somewhat difficult This was OPP
posed by some, among them Captain Bishop
Mains, now permanently stationed at the
Kearny Home. He stated that unless there
were restrictions and the home reserved for
those who fought with the New Jersey
regiments, and resided in this State GER
tain period of time, that the home would
soon be oyercrowded There are 1850 New
Jersey veterans in the National Home, at
Dayton. Ohio, and other homes, who would
crowd here if all restrictions were removed.
The resolution, after much discussion, was
defeated.
VIEWED THE OLD BATTLE FLAGS
During the afternoon the entire body OF
veterans proceeded, with drum corps, to
the State House, to see the battle flags that
have been recently placed in large glass
cases in the main corridor of
the Capitol. This was done at the
request of the department At the last
encampment a committee consisting of
General r. A. Donnelly, General w. S.
Stryker and j. f. Lovett, were appointed to
confer with the State authorities looking
forward to permanent place for the flags,
which, since the rebuilding of the burnt part
of the State House, had been kept in the
vault of the Adjutant- General.
A RoUsING CAMP FIRE.
A rousing camp fire was held in the Ma
sonic Temple last night There were num-
ber of important speeches made by the fol-
General E. Burd Grubb, ex-Minister to
Spain; ex-senator H. NJ. Nevius, OF Red
Bank, twice Department Commander; Con-
gresham G.. Bragg Fielder ana F. 0. Cole,
of Jersey City. These men touched on Grand
Army matters and the pension question.
Mayor Edmunds of Cape May invited the
department to visit Cape May next summer.
There were songs and recitations and the
camp fire continued in session until half past
ten o'clock.
woMENs RELIEF CORPS.
The tenth annual convention of the State
Women's Relief Corps, the only recognized
auxiliary to the National Grand Army of the
Republic, met yesterday in Aaron Wilkes
Post rooms. The reports show a decrease of
seventeen members during the year, but in
creased financial strength. The amount paid
for the relief during the year was $40969.
Mrs. Emma P. Southwick of this city, pre-
sided at the meeting.

MANUFACTURERS IN WASHINGTON
Prominent Jerseymen Besfege Sem
ator McPherson,s Room.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 8, 1884 The Sub
nance is displaying commendable zeal in
pushing its labors to the utmost, appreciat-
ing the fact that the earnest utilization
of time is necessary to reach any
conclusions SO that the rough draft of bill
may be laid before the full Democratic
members of the committee when it meets
next Tuesday, This morning the three
members of the subcommittee were at
the Capitol bright and early, but put
in part of their time in the room OF Mr..
Mills, which is situated in the old part of
the building on a lower floor and away from
the crowds that usually throng the corridors
and the men who have been endeavor1ng to
accomplish by personal interviews what the
full committee has prohibited under the
formal designation of hearings.
Washington is now well filled with men
representing the various industries that seek
protection, and the members of this sub
committee are overrun with applications
for interviews. Today there appeared
at the Senate end OF the Capitol
representatives of the Clark Thread Com
pany of Newark and the Barber Thread
Company of Paterson. Mr.. Allen, repre-
senting the PHOSPHORUS works of Burlington
county, is also in the city seeking to have
the duty on his products retained.
He says that his works are the only ones OF
the kind in this country and that the re-
moval mo Of protection viii utterly ruin the
business here The Mckinley act in
creased the duty on phosphorus from
ten cents pound to twenty, and the Wilson
bill as it passed the House carries an ad
valorem duty of 25 per cent, which the
phosphorus men say is insufficient.
Following in the wake of Mr.. Allen
come the glass and pottery men of New
Jersey and the men interested in the woollen
industries Although Mr.. Mcpherson does
not leave his room during the disagreeable
weather now prevailing in Washing
ton, his residence is besieged by these
manufacturers from his State, and this
morning he was the recipient of not less than
half dozen callers who came here to pro-
test against the passage of the Wilson bill in
its present shape through the Senate.

WOULDN'T WORK WITH THE
POLES.

The employees of the Grifing IronWorks In
Lafayette had a lively time on wednesday
afternoon with the officials of the company
For time it looked as, though the men
would go out on strike and tie up the works.
The trouble was caused by an attempt
of the officials to place the gang OF
Poles who are at work in the yard
in the foundry. AS soon as two hundred
and fifty men heard of this plan they quit
work. The majority of the employees are
either Irishmen or members of the Jr. Q. U.
A. NJ, and both bitterly hate the Polacs.
AS soon as the men went out on strike the
officials called a truce and placed
the Polacs in the machine works.
This cause another rumpus and
the men again quit work. The officials
then called the men. back to work and
placed the Poles in the stock room. This
caused the men to again quit work, and the
officials, seeing thai they were determined,
ordered the Poles back to the yard. This
put an end to the trou BILE.

CHAMELEON PETS,

New Fad.

e New Fad. MT
AS was walking down Fourteenth street.
in New York, the other day, noticed a
small-sized crowd gathered around the win
dow of Scents Furnishing Establish
ment." Now as the crowd consisted mainly
of women my curiosity was very much
aroused as to what possibly could be the
source of attraction Neckties, suspenders,
ETC., no matter how beautiful, as a rule, do
not arouse much enthusiasm in the feminine
breast
After much elbowing and pushing | sue
ceeded in obtaining a glimpse of about fifty
little chameleons, with tiny brass chains
about their necks. They are cute little
things when you get used to them-as well
as fad of the hour SO thought would go
to how they are fed and kept
in case any of the fair readers
of Woman's Realm had been seized by sud-
den fascination for these wriggly little rep
tiles. They are certainly very popular in
New York, for no less than fourteen were
sold while was in the store, and wasn't
there more than ten minutes.
The chameleons sold here are mostly
brought from Florida. and are from two
inches to four inches in length. While they
resemble in every way miniature crocodile
they are absolutely harmless. To the woman
who has weakness for potted plants these
little lizards will prove most valuable allies
They need not be chained, and if allowed to
run over the flowers at will, can be counted
to dispose of all the tiny green grubs and
bugs which are the bette noir of florists and
amateur cultivators. If you have no flowers
and still desire lizard pet, then you must
feel it on chocolats, bread crumbs, flies If
you can get them, and be sure to give it
water twice day.

HUUSUN KIVER BkIDGE BILL
The Hearing in the Matter POST
poned Until Next Wednesday.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 8, 1S94.-At the re-
quest of Representative Bartlett of New
York the hearing that was to have been
given by the House Commerce Committee
this morning to the representatives of the
New York and New Jersey Bridge Companies
was postponed until Wednesday of next
week, at which time it is expected that a
report from Secretary Lamont upon the
merits of the measure will be read and laid
before the committee.
The pending bill was introduced by Mr..
Dunphy of New York on the S0th OF
January last. 1t is designed to meet the
objections made by the President in his re-
cent veto of the former bridge bill. 1t
provides for the. appointment. by the
President of a board consisting of tiye dis
interested, expert engineers, who shall de-
eide at what length of span, not less than
1900 feet, safe and practical railway bridge
can be constructed.
At the commencement of the session Mr..
Bartlett plead for delay He did not believe
that it was the purpose of the members
to railroad the bill through the com
mittee and he saw no reason why ac-
tion should not be postponed until
Secretary Lamont5s report was completed.
Mr. Bartlett stated that he represented the
New York Chamber of Commerce, which
opposed the measure
Representative Dunphy, of New YORK
City, the author of the bill. at the request
of the committee, stated the difference
betweed the pending bill and the one vetoed
by the President several weeks ago. 'One
of the defects of the bill" said Mr.. Bartlett,
sis that it commits Congress to pier in the
river; and l think we ought to hear what
the Secretary of War has to say about it be-
fore taking further action"
At this point Representative Geary of
California took part in the discussion,
which was informal and of very
general nature Mr.. Geary stated with
some feeling that he had as much respect
for the President as anyone else, but
that he did not see why Congress should
first learn the Presidents wishes, or consult
the wishes of the executive departments be-
fore legislating.
