A Bond is an obligation to pay money at
a certain time. 1t is usually accompanied
by a mortgage On real estate, which is col
lateral security for the payment of the
money mentioned in the bond. The bond is
the evidence of Indebtedness. A Mortgage
Trust Bond of The New Jersey Title Guar
antee and Trust Company is an obligation to
pay a sum of money to the holder with inter-
est at the rate of five per cent. The Com
terest and invests the money derived from
their sale in first mortgages in Hudson
County, which it holds in trust for the bond
holders. The holder of a Mortgage Trust
Bond has therefore the same security, and
more besides, for the return of his money
that he would nave if he had the mortgage
in MS possession.

THERE can be no reasonable doubt
but Governor Werts has at least
thirty days wherein to consider the
bills left in his hands by the Legisla-
ture, last week. If the thirty-day
limit does not apply, he has until next
October in which to send in his
vetoes. Indeed, the latter is prob
ably the actual state of the case. 1t
seems as il the Governor was not
obliged to take any action, the Legis-
lature not being in session.

TARIFF BILL ABOUT READY.
Finance Committee Expected to
Finish This Afternoon.
Section Abrogating the Hawaiian
Treaty May BE Dropped.
By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, March l9.-The Demo-
cratic members OF the Committee on
Finance have completed their work on
the Tariff bill and will submit the
changes which they have made from the
bill as drafted by the subcommittee Mt
meeting of the full Committee to be
held this afternoon.
The principal change which they have
made in bill is in the sugar sche iule.
and that has been modified so as to
take into account the color as well as
the polarization of sugar. The change
made Will add one-eighth of a cent per
pound on the color test, SO as to insure
TO the refiner this much protection. II
has been claimed that the bill as at
first reported 10 the full Committee
would discriminate against the refiners.
1t Is not known as yet at what point
or grade Of sugar the change in sugar
rates Will be.
1t is also understood that the bill will
be amended so as to make a positive dec
laratIon of the abrogation of the reci-
procity treaties made under the Mckin-
ley act. This will be done simply 10 sat
isfy the sugar men and leave no doubt as
to the intention OF the bill in this re-
spect, and not because the Democratic
members OF the Committee have any
doubt that the bill. as 1t now stands.
would accomplish this purpose.
II is also probable that the clause In
the bill abrogating the Hawaiian treaty
will he struck out. There has been some
contention among the Democratic mem
bers on this score, and two or three votes
hive been taken upon a proposition tC
strike 1t out, a majority at first opposing
this change.
The principal argument which has beer
| made for 1t has been based upon the
ground OF eXpediency and 1t has beer
| urged that II 1t should be permitted Il
| remain 1t would be the means OF intro
duCing the Hawaiian complications int

that this should he avoided. II possible

.s|RE'S LAWYERS WALK OUT.
1t Is Said They Will Appeal Miss
Jacobs's Suit Again.
Judge Sedgwick Refuses to Grant
an Adjournment.

The second trial in the case of Esther
Jacobs against Henry b. Sire. to re-
cover $4,000 damages for breach Of
promise, was begun before Judge Sedg-
wick. in the Superior Court. to-day In
the former trial Miss Jacobs obtained a
Judgment OF S25. 90 damages.
This verdict was set aside. however,
by the General Term OF the Superior
Court on the ground tina; Judge Sedg-
wick had erred in several instances ir
hts conduct Of the trial, mainly in al
lowing certain evidence to be intro
dbcei and In his charge to the jury.
When the case was called this morn
ing Col James. who has lately been re-
ta.Inel by the defense, asked that an
adjournment for "A week be allowed.
He produced number of afiidav.ts II
the effect that many Of the most i'm
pprant witnesses. including Lewis Speru
testify 10 the effect that Miss Jacobs
broke the engagement herself. could not
be found
H also handed up an affidavit to the
effect that w. BOurke Cochran. the
leading counsel of Sire. was detained In
Mexico on account of the illness of his
wife.
Judge Sedgwick. however. ordered the
that he was tired of so many adjourn
ments. and that Mr.. Cochran should
have substituted another counsel in his
place. The work OF securing a jury then
began.
While the jury was being empanelled
Col. James and all the lawyers for the
defense left the courtroom. 1t is said
they would refuse TO proceed with the
case under Judge SedEwick's ruling II
is reported that they win wait until ths
trial has ended, and II verdict adverse
to them is rendered they will again ap.
peal to the General Term to have tht
second verdict set aside
They viii base their appeal upon
| Judge Sedgwicks ordering the trial tc
go on without a number of important
witnesses. The absence OF Mr.. CoCkrar
they claim, also gives the plaintiff al
unfair advantage.
