Cities to Decide on
the Spoils.
MAX sALINGER IN TRENTON
He Says That Conference Is
Merely to Consider Matters,
That Is All.
In Newark, General Sewell Seems
To Be in Charge-Laws
To Be Repealed.
Special to the Jerssy CITY Nslos.

TRENTON, January 3, 1S94.-The city is
overrun to-day with Republican Sen
ators, Members of Assembly and can
didates for the Legislative offices.
The object of their gathering is
caucus for the purpose of agreeing, if posi-
BILE upon an Assembly slate. Two caucus
were called for today; one by
Max Sallinger for Trenton in
beLa.f of the men who sup
10 t Holt for Speaker, and the other for
lewark in the interest of the opposi-
tion to Holt, which does not
seem to have ehrystalized into
anything definite as yet. From the number
of candidates for the offices that are here
it would seem that that this is considered
the most important gathering in Trenton.
Those here are Assernblyman Zabriskie Of
Bergen Sleicher and Matlack of Burlington,
Stafford aud Watson of Camden, Austin and
Glaspell of Cumberland Duncan
Storrs and Aicott of Essex, Berry, Salinger
Harding, Kerr and McEwan Of Hudson
Reading of Somerset, Wilbur, Ginter and
Extor of Mercer, Sloner of Middlesex, Wal
ters of Monmouth, Baker of Morris,
Holt of Passaic, Soners of Somerset, Bur
ger, Ewes anu SOuQlilS Ol laws VI
Warren, John Ulrich of Plainfeld and Will
lam S. Hancock of Mercer.
CANDIDATES ON HAND.
The two leading candidates for Comptroller
were at the Windsor Hotel where the eau
Gus met, shaking hands and looking for votes.
Potts was absent, but his interests were
looked after by his Hudson friends. His
chief opponent, Editor Logan of New Bruins
wick. worked like berver and had the ad-
vantage of a personal canvass. Frank
Sutherland was working up his boom for
Journal Clerk. The caucus organized at one
o'clock by electing Salinger chairman aud
Stafford secretary, and then adjourned until
Two O'Clock for dinner,
Salinger denies that the meeting is in
Hollis interest. but Holt says it is and he will
have thirty-five votes when the house
organizes next week. Every member pretends
that he does not know why the conference
is called, but all declare that it is not in the
interest of Holt or any other man
WHAT MAX SAYS.
Salinger, who appears to be running the
affairs, says he called the Z meeting
because he had heard so much Of
conferences being held which he knew moth
ing about and he wanted to get the members
together and see where they
stood The caxcus will be
a stormy and lengthy one. STAIRS and Al
colt of Essex have an idea il
was put up by General Sewell
and propose to kick against everything, ex-
cept Gross for speaker, which comes up.

JERSEY CITY NEWS to the effect thatV
Wanser prepared his decision in the matter
of the charges against the Street and Water
Commissioners was confirmed at nine o'clock
this morning when the announcement was
formally made that the Mayor had found
the accused officials guilty and recommended
their immediate dismissal to Governor
Werts.
The news spread like wild fire in political
circles and at ten o'clock the Mayors Office
was crowded with politicians eager for defin,
ate information regarding the decision.
THE MAYOR CONFIRMS THE STORY.
His Honor refused to be interviewed aa
any length on the subject
''Were the Commissioners found guilty on
all the charges preferred against them'
asked him.
s'I cannot say as to that" was the reply,
''but they have been found guilty on a suf-
ficient number to warrant the decision for
warded to the Governor"
The Mayor positively refused to divulge
single charge upon which the accused ofti-
cials had been found guilty.
"The papers in the case ha We been for
warded to Governor Werts," /" said he, ''and it
would be breach of courtesy on my part to
discuss the matter at all"
DELIVERED TO CLERK FOX.
The precious document which asks for the
immediate removal of the guilty officials
was conveyed to Trenton by Secretary Neyin.
He left this city yesterday afternoon on
the 3:12 train over the PENN
sylvania Railroad for Trenton.
Arriving at Trenton he was unable to gain
audience with Governor Werts. He left the
papers in charge of Chief Clerk Fox.

THE NEWARK CAUCUS.
General Sewell Was There
What the Gathering
Proposes Doing.

The corridor on the sixth floor of the Pru-
Dental Assurance Building, Broad street,
Newark, was for nearly an hour this
afternoon the exercising ground of Repub-
lican statesmen and some who would like to
be- Postmaster Sam Dickinson of this city was
pacing backwards and forwards in company
with another luminary of the G. o. P. Then
not far distant was ex-United States Senator
William j. Sewen with his aides, E. Cad
dis and Garret A. Hobart Some smaller
fry we're floating about, happy as CLAIMS at
high tide if any of the big fellows even
noticed them.
BEHIND CLOSED DOORS.
About two O'Clock they entered the room
of the Republican State Committee; report
els were politely informed that there was
nothing to say" a guard was placed at the
door inside, and the deiiyerations of the
subcommittee of the State Committee
bagar.
This Committee composed chiefly of gentle
men learned in the law was convened to
assist the State Committee in its delibera-
tions as to bills to be introduced at the COM
ing session of the Legislature,
On Saturday last the committee met and
talked over legislation for. frst-class cities
Today those in the second-class had their
innings.
AFFECTING JERSEY CITY.
For first-class cities, it was whispered in
the corridor and muttered on the street, that
the very first thing to do is to chop off the
heads of the Superintendents of Police and
Fire Departments and re-establishing the
rank of Inspector. Such change
would remove Mr.. Christie Smith,
put Chief Murphy in his old position and
probably elevate Captain Lange to the rank
of Inspector Then the Governors salary
will be cut down and those of the state
officials
Here are other bills to be recinded:
Chapter SO, authorizing the Governor to
expend money at will for the State Indus
trial School.
Chapter 154 creating three commissioners,
at a salary of S1,S00 per annum to enlarge
the State Prisons. These officials have been
drawing their salaries for some time, and as
yet have done nothing.
Chapter 1877, providing for representatives
20 the National Prison Reform Congress, and
paying expenses of same This is nothing
more than junketing trip at the expense of
the taxpayers and a good time for the repre-
sentatives.
Chapter 29l empowering the Governor to
speid $1,000 IN enlarging the Home for
Feeble Minded Women
Chapter 23l, creating County Boards of
Registration There are eighty-one of these
offices.
Repeal of the State Weather Bureau,
which has been heavy expense to the State
with no earthly benefit

nlissioners with achief of bureau and half

CONNECTED WITH ANARCHISTS
Police Learn the Character of the
Omladfna Society.


BIZ Gable to the United Press.
VIENNA, Jan, 3, 1s94-It has been learned
that the Omladina Society, the headquar-
ters of which was at Prague, Bohemia, had
a membership of seven hundred, and that the
society was closely connected with the An
archists in Vienna and other parts of the
country. The Omladina, it will be recalled,
is the society that owed its origin to Rudolph
Mrva, who was assassinated short time ago
by some of the members who, it is said, had
learned that Mrva was an agent Provaca-
teur of the police, and was engaged IN sys-
tematicallY betraying the members OF the
society to the authorities.
In consequence of the discovery of the
connection of the Omladina with the Anar-
chists the prosecution of the members of the
latter organization, now under arrest here,
will be postponed until after the trial OF the
members of the Omladina now in custody,
as it is thought much of the testimony in the
latter case can be used to indict the Anar-
chists Among the members of the Omla-
dina are Ruthenians, Gaiicians, servians and
Hungarians.

before assistance could reach them or were
carried under the sound ice by the current,
where they perished.
