The total of the bill, including all de-
partments, is 1880, 593.TS.
Mr.. Breckinridge Reports 1t.
Great interest has been centered in
the bill, owing to the fact that Mr.. Brock
inridge was chairman of the subcommittee
On deficiencies, and this is the first de-
hciency bill since the famous trial. and re-
ports have been circulated that his con-
troll of the measure and generally on direc-
ton Of debate would be transferred to some
other member of the appropriation COM
mittee. When. however, Mr.. Breckenridge
rose at the opening of the session today
and sent the bill and report to the Speakers
desk 1t was generally accepted that the
personal question involved was settled and
that he would hereafter proceed with this
and other duties in the House. II was the
first time, with one exception, that Mr..
Breckenridge had addressed the chair in
many weeks. The printed report had at it's
head the name of Mr.. Breckenridge as it's
author
Mr.. Sayers VIII Control 1t. r.-
The presentation of the report evidently
created a misappreher sion. however. 1t C IN
be stated positively that Representative
Savers, chairman of the appropriations
committee will have charge of the bill, now
that its routine introduction mas been made.
1t will probably be taken up for debate this
week. and at that time Mr. Sayers will be
in control. The rule of the House gives the
chairman Of a subcommittee the direction
OF the debate and the opening and closing
remarks. If, however, he Is absent, his
place may be filled by another member of
the committee. Whether Mr.. Breckenridge
will be present or abs ent is not known, but
that Mr.. Savers will be in charge is settled.
The bill carries 81. 500. 593 Several other
deficiency bills have passed during the pras-
ent Congress, and including the present bill,
amount to $40 sos, 235.

NEW JERSEYS LAWS.
Efforts to Revise the Jurisprudence
of the State.

Efforts to Revise the Jurfsprudence
of the State.
TRENTON. n. j., June 1S-The commits
sion TO revise the system of legal and equit-
able Jurisprudence of this state met at the
state house today, with fourteen members
present. In the absence of President Gray,
ex-Gov. Ludlow, the vice president, occu-
pied the chair.
Mr.. Fort offered a proposition providing
that the courts Of the state shall be or
ganzed as follows:
Tristan appellate court of final resort,
composed Of counsellors-at-law OF ten years
standing. who shall not be members OF any
other court.
Second-A court of chancery, to consist
of a chancellor and vice chancellor
Third-Circuit court to be held In each
county by a single judge.
p Fourth-Such inferior courts as the legis-
lature may establish.
The proposition was laid over and the
proposition No. of Mr.. McDermo,t was
taken up.
1t read that the court of final resort in
all cases shall be composed of counsellors-
at-law of at least ten years standing who
snail not be members Of or hold any other
court.
This was amended by adding the words
except the court of pardons." and was
adopted.
court of chancery, leaving the compost
ton of the court for subsequent considera-
ton.
The court then took up the question CT es-
tablishing circuit courts presided over by a
single judge, with common law jurisdiction
and appeals to be made direct to the court
of last resort, thus abolishing the supreme
court.

best to have him watched, which was done.
But the officers &c on learned something Of
him, and ascertsining that he had attempt
Cd to force his Indian ideas on the Coxey-
ties he was no longer watched.
There were three men here about the
time Coxey arrived who needed watching
said the inspector. They were watched.

MAJ. Moore had only read the headlines
when seen, but branded the article as a
fabrication of very small substance. Chief
Clerk Richard Sylvester of the police de-
partment said; The thing is mostly q

Suspicious characters who were drawn here
by the Coxey movement, Just a. they keep
an eye on those who always come for in
augurations, and GA all occasions when
there are crowds. The newspapers said
thst this man Honore Jaxon was an as
sociate Of the Chicago agitators and he
and his associates have been kept under
surveillance as such people always have
been.
THAT any Indications of anarchist plots or
plot to throw bombs. have been discovered
is absolutely false. Jaxon is an agitator
just as Carl Browne is Brownies talk
is sometimes incendiary, but that Is the
nearest thing to anarchy we have heard of.
The story that a bottle of chemicals was
found, which was exploded by the sun,
killed cat in the room and gave out a
noisome stink, Is too absurd to talk about"
Not Alarmed.
The story of the plot Is made laughing
matter by the officials of the Capitol, who
are represented as being alarmed. 1t is
said by these officials that ever since the
Coxey movement was started the police
officials have been particularly watchful,
lest some crank might be excited to commit
some insane act of violence. They say,
however, that there has been no plot to
blow up the Capitol discovered or suspected.

But He Causes Some Excitement I'm a
street Car.
Last evening when an open car on the
Glen Echo road was making its way toward
Tenleytown some of the passengers of the
fair sex made an outcry all because Of the
appearance of an innocent little frog. But
the frog had caused a little scare to a pas
senger Of the stronger sex only few sec
onds before. The inoffensve little frog had
been put in the pocket of a citizen. while
the latter was walking along the river
shore. but 1t was not until on his way home
in the car that he had occasion to put his
hand in his pocket. He endeavored to
throw the animal out of the car, but his
desire to do SO was stronger than his
muscle just at that time, and the frog
hoped along to the end Of the car where
a number of ladies were seated.
The joke was not appreciated by the con-
ductor, who threatened to arrest the victim
Of the practical joke perpetrated by his
friends.
