A ROYAL BEGGAR.

One of the most remarkable finds made by
the Historical Manuscript Commission among
the family papers of the Duke of Portland,
at Welbeck Abbey, says the London Daily
NetcS. is series of letters from King Charles
II. mostly written from St. Germans in 1649,
to various persons whose names are written
in cipher, the key to which has not been dis
covered. They were found folded and pack
ed together in little leather box, and by
their appearance it would seem that they
had been sent over for delivery, but had
never been used As the commissioners OBJ
serve they "are mostly of q kind to which
the adherents of the Stuarts must have been
accustomed, and the promises contained
in which were not always completely per-
formed" In brief they present the young
Prince in the character of begging letter
writer on a rather extensive scale. Some
thirty correspondents seem to have been ad-
dressed by him in the month Of August Of
that year alone. The following will serve az
a sanple:-"1649, August 81, st. Germans.
l have have had so good testimony of your
affection to the King, my dear father OF
blessed memory, that desire you on this oc-
occasion to lend me 500 pounds, whereof
promise you on my royal word very faithful
repayment / have troubled few of my
friends in this kind" OF this missive five
copies have been found, all bearing the royal
signature and seal, and therefore pre-
sumptively intended for different persons

BIG SHIPMENT OF BRANDY.

SAN FRANCISCO, March IA, 1894 The
German bark ]. c. Pfunger left here last
night with the largest shipment of brandy
ever made from any port in the United
States. The shipment consisted of 1853 454
gallons of California brandy in barrels
at an estimated wholesale value of S91 ,997
1t is expected that the retail price will be
about three times that amount. There was
also included in the cargo twenty-five bar
red wine and los barrels of port wine.
The brandy expectation makes the rapid
growth of an established foreign Especially
German) market for the California product
Four hundred barrels of the brandy go to
the German Army for use in the hospital
service, the Germans having used California
brandy almost exclusively for two years.
The United States Army Hospital service
finds California brandy not good enough,
and patronizes France.

NOT A MATURE DECISION.
Liberals Placed In a Perplcxtng Pos
itfon by LabOuchere.
By Cable to the United Press.


LONDON, March 1, 1s94-The House of
Commons was crowded with members and
visitors today.
Sir William Harcourt announced that the
Government had taken advice from all avail
able sources and had decided to make the de-
clarationthat.the judgmentgiven last evening
in amending the address did not show ma
ture and well considered decision of the
House Of Commons. This was grave ques-
ton, he said, and the Government would
not present the address, as amended, to the
Queen. Consequently, the Government pro-
posed to bring up a new address amounting
merely to an acknowledgement Of the speech
from the throne.
Mr. A. j. Balfour, Conservative leader,
was greeted with prolonged cheering as he
arose to reply to the Governments announce
ment The Conservatives, Mr. Balfour
said, would not object to the Government
eating its own address. The Opposition
had no desire to take advantage of the
Governments difficulty, but were prepared
to assist in extricating them from their un-
pleasant position.
Mr. Labouchere amid cheers and laughter,
defended mis- amendment, the success of
which was abundantly justified. 1t was not
intended to hinder the Ministers in regard to
those purely formal documents, the Queens
speech and the address in reply thereto.
Mr. Joseph Chamberlain said the vote of
last evening must either be rescinded or re-
main in the shape of a vote of want of con-
fidence. (Cheers.) 1t was obvious that the
Government ought to dissolve Parliament
and seek fresh mandate from the country.
Nong and continued Unionist cheers.)
Sir William Harcourt's motion to rescind
the address as amended, and substituting one
merely acknowledging the Queens speech
was agreed to without division.
Mr.. T. W. Russell, Irish Unionist, con-
tinued the debate on the address.
The Queen left London at 9:20 this morn
ing on her way to Florence by the Sheerness
and Flushing route.
In the number of Truth issued today Mr.
Labouchere says Lord Rosebery's accession
to the Premiership was skilfully contrived
conspiracy. There is no question about
Lord Rosebery's ability; he has a dangerous
amount of it, and therefore his selection
pleases the Tories. His selection, however,
BY political and press hacks was dirty
trick on the Liberal party, whose prefer
ences were not asked.

Colonel Stevens Anti
Plume Document.
Special to the Jersey City Neaos.

TRENTON, March IA, 1s94-Governor
Werts sent to the House of Assembly in
session this morning, communication In
answer to a resolution offered by Assembly
man Erlenkotter, requesting that all papers
submitted to the Executive by Colonel e. A.
Stevens and bearing on the disbanding of
the old Second Regiment, be returned to
the Legislature. The Governor, in
his communication, explained that
He turned them over long ago to the Ad-
latter to give copies to the Legislative Com
mittees on Militia whenever desired. Mr..
Erlenkotter has bill intending to do away
with the First Brigade headquarters and
thus abolish Major General Plumes Office.

announced by Secretary Mott, Assembly
man Harrigan arose and asked If it was the
was the United States Senate that was
meant.

NAVAL MILITIA.
There was an interesting discussion over
House bill No. l13, which provides for the
lection of the sea coast and navigable waters
of the State, in connection with the National
Guard. 1t is to consist Of two battalions,
one with headquarters in Jersey City and
the other at Camden Assemblyman
Olcott raised the objection that the
funds to furnish boat for this guard would
have to come from the State funds, that
there was no assurance that the United
States would furnish vessel. Mr. Salinger
replied that unless the United States
would furnish the vessel, the provisions
of the bill need not be carried out. Mr.
Beekman thought it too important bill to
go through as it was. An amendment
should be added preventing the unnecessary
expenditure Of any State funds. Mr.. Flynn
maintained that the Adjutant General was
man of too good sense to go ahead with the
remarks the bill was laid over.

corner of Broadway and Middleton street
on Monday night waiting for a horse
car they were accosted by about twenty
women, most of whom, they say, are the
wives or other relatives of the strikers,
These women threw sticks and mud at them,
and called them ssscabs" and rats" and
Threatened to kill them. The girls were
badly frightened, but got into car without
any of them being injured.

STRIKING WEAYERS
No Violence Attempted at
SChWartzenback's Mill,
West Hoboken.
Today.
SUPERINTENDENT RUEsG INTERVIEWED.
If Strikers Committee Want to
See Him Must Call at
His Office.

Outside of parading about the streets head
ed by brass band, the striking silk weavers
of West Hoboken made no demonstration
today. A committee of the strikers are en-
deavoring to have q conference with
Superintendent Ruegg of Schwarz-
enbacks silk mill, but refuse to
call on the Superintendent They want
him to meet them outside the company's
property. The strikers will hold meeting
tomorrow morning, to hear the report of
the Conference Committee, who expect to
meet Mr.. Ruegg at No. 4SS Spring street, at
three o'clock this afternoon.
MR.. RuEGG EXPLAINS.
A NEWS reporter called npon Mr. Ruegg
this morning and asked him If he was going
to meet the strikers committee.
'sNo, sir; / have nothing to say in regard
to the matter, the know what
the firm is willing to do, and that is all, and
we will not yield one inch. have no need
to meet then, and besides they know where
my office is. They can come to me if they
When asked why the men struck, Mr..
Ruegg replied
because a couple of corner loafers known
as walking delegates, who belong to the Silk
Weavers' Central Union told them to-.
Ihey have no cause TO strlke as we have
given them au increase of from 10 to so per
cent. on certain goods, which averages 25
per cent, and they were well salts
fed until the union interfered
and told them they must stop work
unless the average increase amounted to 40
per cent, or in other words they should re-
ceive an increase on all goods. This we can
not do and will not.
MEN MISUNDERSTAND.
"Were the men once making the amount
that the 40 per cent. would give them, and is
it for that reason they are strikingW I next
asked him.
'sNo, sir; it is not We never deducted
forty per cent or any other per cent from
their wages. When times were hard this
summer we only worked them on short time,
but paid them at the average rate.
The loss on thai amounted to about 40 or 80
per cent, and that Is what they are now
kicking for, as they have an idea we were
paying them for full time last summer when
we were only paying them for the actual
work they performed"
NO VIOLENCE ATTEMPTED.
"Have any of the strikers attempted any
violence to those who are now workingp
s'Not that have heard, although large
number of them have been followed to their
homes in Hoboken and Jersey City, and
been told it would be better for
them if they quit working and went out on
strike with the rest of them, but
they have not tried to keep
then away from work as yet. must
say the strikers have been very peaceful.
None of them have been to see me today,
and / know now nothing about their plans.

BOY MURDERER FALEs' FATE.
HIS Counsel Hint at Surprise in the
Proceedings.

His Counsel Hint at a Surprise in the
Proceedings.
Special to the Jersey City Nears
NEWARK, March IA, 1S94.-The fate Of
young Robert Alden Fales, who was con-
victed of the murder of Thomas Hayden,
and whose case was carried to the Supreme
Court OF the United States by his counsel,
will probably be settled a week from next
Saturday He will then, it is said, be
brought before Judge Depue in the Court of
Oyer and Terminer to be resentenced. 1t is
supposed that by that time the Court OF
Oyer and Terminer will have received the
official notification Of the dismissal OF the
habeas corpus proceedings at Washington.
Prosecutor Crane, when seen this morning,
was not inclined to discuss the case, but he
said the Court of Pardons alone stood be-
tween the young murderer and DEATH Mr..
Crane further stated that he was ready to
argue on tho habeas corpus proceedings at
Washington on Monday next, when he heard
that the boys counsel, Frank M. McDermit
and Judge Henry, had asked for dismissal
of the proceedings.
The Prosecutor said he did not think the
proposed legislation at Trenton for the
abolition Of capital punishment would have
any bearing on the Fales case.
Judge Thomas s. Henry and Lawyer +.
NJ McDermit still remain quiet as to the
case. Judge Henry told reporter today
that nothing would develop for week or
ten days at least, unless the boy should be
resentenced before that time.
'sIf the court does not resentence Fales,"
continued Judge Henry, sit will not preju-
dice our case in the least. We will then
take such action as we think best for the
boy
"I was up to see Fales yesterday after
noon," added the judge with increasing in
terest. Il wanted to see how he received
the news of his case. He had read it before
reached him, but he was apparently totally
Indifferent about it. He did not seem glad,
sad or surprised, but treated it in matter
of-fact way. In due time the public will
learn what we will do, and | think the re-
suit will be surprise party for the whole
community. 1t will teach people not to place
too much faith in the testimony of so-called
expert Witnesses. But, then, have no more
to say at present
