Governor Werts' Vetoes Bring Them
to Their Senses.
Special to the Jersey C4tg Esars.
TRENTON, May 4, 1S04.-Those who look
for speedy adjournment went home last
night pretty blue This was caus ID by a
conference which the Republican committee
on partisan legislation held yesterday after
noon Carl Lentz of Newark was admitted
to the conference and the vetoes of the Board
of Works for first class cities and the Free
holders bills for first class counties were dis
cussed Some of the hot headed were for
overriding the vetoes at once. The more
conservative amongs the conferees declared
calm view Of the vetoes. They argued that
there was good deal Of strong
common sense in the message and
it would be well TO carefully
examine them before taking en rash and III
advised action upon them. This sentiment
prevailed. and the vetoes were taken up and
carefully gone over. 1t was soon found that
they were good logical documents, and It
was proposed to take no action op the vetoes
but to prepare new bills which would meet
the objections Of the Governor and remain
in session to pass them If It took an SUM
uer.
This was agreed to as it was net considered
wise to have the Legislature stultify itself
by passing crudely drawn bills. The new
bills will provide for the election Of the
members by the people and thus restore
home rule which the Governor advocates.
This is political victory for the Governor.

tween the Two Colleges.
NEW YORK, May 4. 1894 The M,sil and
Cypress today says it is notwithstanding
now that Yale and Oxford will arrange an
eight-oared race in the near futurey il not
this season, then assnredly next year. 1t
gives George A. Ades as authority for the
statement Casper Whitney was deputed by
Oxford recently to make arrangements for a
race In England with Yale. He presented
his credentials to Captain bob Cook,
but the latter Is said to have remarked
that Yale would be delighted to ar
range an international race with Oxford,
but not through third party. ALI that Ok
ford asked was an immediate answer, giving
as reason that Its crew generally split,
going in for double sjngle and four cared
racing at the racing regatta, which is to
take place on July s, and this year.
Captain Cook has expressed the view that
it will be impossible for Yale to give an
answer at once or until tho New London
race with Harvard has been decided.
The statement is made by man Of au-
thority In Yale matters, that in the event OF
the American blue wiaping the New Lon
don race Yale and Oxford viii challenge
simultaneously.
Mr. Adee is OF the opirliep that the nego-
tiations for the race will be successful, and
that meeting OF the leading spirits OF
both colleges will be held IN short time to
arrange for match for this year or the

THE PAY OF ooNGREssMEN.
Members Obliged TO Say HOW Man!
Days They Were Absent.

Days They Were Absent.
WASHINGTON, May 4, 1894. Today is pay
day in the House of Repr esentatives. The
members of the House have beeh filing their
pay certificates with Sergeant-at-Arms Snow
for the last two days. There have been a
few complaints about theruie which requires
members to state the number Of days
they hSss Sssass bSen basls aDssns ad So ade ro
from their salary. But none Of the
representatives have refused to comply with
the law. Fully two hundred certificates are
now on file In Colonel Shows Office. Where
membsrs have been absent on account OF
personal illness or illness In their families no
mention Is made In the certificate and the
salary is to be paid In full. In other cases
the members have specified the extent OF
their absenteeisIn and the deductions are
made by the Sergeant-at-Arnls. In few
cases the members have failed 70 make any
mention of their absence and these are re-
ferred to the Speaker by the Sergeant-at-
Arms for the former to act upon in his dis
cretion.
Representative Stone of Pennsylvania has
reached the conclusion that the. Sergeant-at-
Arms has no authority under existing law to
deduct pay of members. He holds that what
is known as the fortieth section at the re-
vised Statutes did not go ito effect, because
is known as tie salary grab act. re-enacted
the law in force prior to the passage OF the
salary grab bill, which was the act Of
1865 flxing the salary Of members at
5000 per year. The saving clguse
in the revised statutes provides that
NO law passed after December !, 1879, should
Be affected by the Revised Statutes. Conse.
quently he holds that what is known as the
fortieth section is not In force This section
was the sixth section of the act of 1855, and
was repealed by the act of 1885.
Mr.. Apsley Of Massachusetts,, on the other
hand, Is In favor of making the rule retro
active, and he talks about Offering resolu-
received by them for all days they have
been absent without leave since 1855.

PROSPEROUS PRUDENTIAL
1t Has s9,9OO.OoO of Assets Hn Ex-
cess of All Liabilities.


It was only until recently that the great
boon of life insurance became a possibility
to the poor laboring man. 1t was always
looked upon as luxury, the bene-
fits of which could be enjoyed
only BY the wealthy. But since the Indus
trial Insurance system was started IN Eng
land, few years ago, millions OF poor
laborers have been benefited by Its opera
tions and the burdens Of many poor widow
have been materially lessened by Its work
ings.
There are several such companies in this
country. one Of the largest and most bene-
fetal Of which Is the Prudential Insurance
Company of America, the home office OF
which Is in Newark. This has proven
itself to be one Of the most sub
companies now doing business throughout
the world. Its reputation is second to none;
while its standing In the business world, and
general reputation Of fair dealing, exceeds
that of many similar institutions. The
Prudential recently Voluntarily c.ss re-,

Commissioner complied with the request,
and In addition to bis deputy, Thomas K
johnson, appointed David Parks Faekler, an
eminent actuary Of New York City; v. +;
Van Camp or trenton, ana ex-Juuge aOMdrQ
w. Hayes and Edward II. Duryee OF New
ark, to conduct the examination.
It took these gentlemen, assisted by an
ample corps Of clerks and assistants, over six
weeks to make the examination. Every
book voucher or document connected with
the Prudential sincs it began business was
taken up and carefully examined, every
facility being afforded them by the company
for their purpose of making their investiga-
ton most thorough and searching.
The manner in which the company trans
acts It's vast business and its methods of deal

of policy holders, numbering at that time
nearly two millions were freely opened to

Owing to the financial depression during

INSURANCE COMPANIES AHEAD.
Eiseless Three.YeaT Amendm EN-
Again Voted Down.
Special to the Jersey Guy Nears.


TRENTON, May 4, 1So4.-Assemblyma
Eisele, the champion of the people in the
matter Of industrial insurance, made an
other unsuccessful onslaught yesterday
afternoon upon the prudential companies.
He moved to amend the bill which provides
that the companies shall issue paid-up poll
cies at the end Of five years by making the
time three years. 1t was the same amend
ment he tried to have adopted Tuesday
DR.. Edwards, who is employed by one of
the compa aiaS as an examining physician
and chairman of the committee, protested
ayainst tho anendment, and said that If
adopted t would kill the bill. Mr.. Byrne
ofeNewark, who is another insurance em-
plove, made long speech against the
amendment, claiming that under 1T the
companies would be unable to continue in
business He lauded the companies to the
skies for their charity and bensvolence. and
claimed that they we're the GREATEST bene-
factors the poor had, and now Mr. Eisele
wanted to wipe out these great benefactors
Of the poor.
II it was question, of wiping out the poor
policy holders, Mr.. Eisele said certain peo-
pie wouldn't hesitate to wipe them out at
once.
Mr. CoyIe said that he had voted against
the amendments on former occasion, but
since then q number of policy holders in his
district had called upon him and requested
him to change his vote, which he would do.
While the debate was going on the strong
lobby of the insurance companies were work
ing among the members like swarm OF
bees. Mr.. Eisele Indignantly called the
Speakers attention to these knights of indus
try, and demanded that the rule barring all
but members from the floor be enforced.
Then Max Salinger, who had remained un-
usually quiet during the day, chanced to see
William Gummere, County Clerk of Mercer,
talking to DR. Wilbur. Immediately he was
on his feet, full of that theatrical indigna-
tion which he can assume, and demanded
that Mr.. Gummere be driven from the floor.
A young man went up to Max to tell him OF
his mistake, but Max scowled at him and
tried to bully him, as he did Lawyer Alex
simpson some time ago before Che Polics
Board Of Jersey City.
The lobby was successful in its labors, and
and Mr.. Eseles amendment was again de
tented

Nothing But the Governor Can save
the Gowns to Hudson.
Special to the Jersey City Netcs.
TRENTON, May 4, 1se4-Mr Kerr Of Har-
rison and Kearny had his innings yesterday,
and succeeded in securing the passage OF bis
bill annexing his portion Of Hudson to Es-
sex county. He is not entirely out OF the
woods yet, and it is intimated that he viii
have considerable trouble In persuading the
Governor not to veto the measure. The Sen
ate Committee to which the bill was re-
ferred, begun the proceedings by rejecting
the amendment offered by Mr.. Daily which
provided that the question of the annexation
should be referred to the voters OF the
county. This, Of course, If it should become
a law, would defeat the object Of the bill, as
the people Of the other sections OF the
county would swamp the annexation at the
polls
The bill came up in the Senate at the af-
ternoon session There was very little
speaking for OF against it. Mr.. Ketcham
advocated its passage, using the well worn
arguments about Harrison and Kearny be-
ing practically now portion Of Essex, and
that commercially, geographically and and
NewaYkers.
Mr.. Daily opposed the bill and wanted 1t
laid over until some Jersey City people
could be heard in opposition to the measure.

President of the Board Of Trade, asking for
postponement.
His request was not needed, and the bill
passed Mr.. DAILY says the people of Jersey
City and other sections of the county are re-
sponsible for the passage Of the bill. They
apparently took no interest In the matter
and allowed the bill to pass through their
apathy. While the Harrison and Kearny
men have been here in force opportuning
members to vote for the bill no one com
paritively has taken the trouble to come to
Trenton to oppose the scheme.
The annexationists lost no time in getting
the bill over to the House to have the amend
ments concurred in. The Assemblynen
were in a humorous mood and they con
cluded to have little fun with Mr.. Kerr
