MEETINGS OF CONGRESS.
Eject of Crain,s Bin to Change the
Sittings'

Eject of Crain's BiF to Change the
Sittings'
WASHINGTON, May 49, 1894.-Representa-
tive Grains bill to change the date of the
meeting OF the Congress, which was favor
ably reported the other day by the Com
mittee on the Election of President and Vice
President and Representative in Congress,
it is pointed out, will hardly meet all the
declarations of its author, contained in the
report accompanying the measures.
The bill provides 'that the first an
nual meeting of the Congress shall
be on the first Tuesday after the fourth day
of March, and the second annual meeting
shall be on the first Monday after the first
day of January. ''The report says that
under this arrangement there would be no
short sessions. Unless Mr.. Grain expects the
second long session to continue over four
teen months, then there will have to be
sh ort session of at least every alter
nate Congress to count the electoral vote
for President and Vice President. The only
alternative would be the adoption of an
amendment to the CT Institution modifying
or abolishing the present requirement in re-
spect of that motter. Instead of there be-
ing but two long sessions Of each Congress,
experts about the Capitol figure out that
there would be TWO long ones and short
one and probably two short ones, should Mr..
Grains bill become a law.

Republicans Turn the Assembly
Chamber Into a Beer Garden.

Special to tho Jersey City NeaUs
TRENTON, May is, 1894. No session of the
Legislature was surrounded with such dis
graceful scenes as those which were wit
messed in the House yesterday afternoon
Messrs. Storrs, Baker, Olcott Bates and
others acted like children who had just
been let out of school They bombarded
the members wis1 pamphlets, books and
rolled up newspapers until they were OBJ
liged to leave their seats and fly to the
lobbies for safety The shining bald head
of Beekman was the particular object Of
their attacks and they kept the old man
dodging their missiles until he ran into the
Presidents room. The disorder became so
great that the Speaker adjourned the House.
Then the infection spread, and most all the
members entered into the sport, / they
called it, It rained pamphlets ana news
papers until the floor was as.white as the
ground on snowy day Messrs. Storrs and
Baker had q duel, in which they hurled
books at each other with force that threat
ened them with serious bodily injury. Sena-
tor Hinchliffe who happened to come into
tho Chamber during the fracas, was struck
in 9he face with book, and was still feeling
thts effects Of the blow in the evening After
an hour or more of this hilarity, the mem
ba u Quilted down from sheer exhaustion.

The measure went over to the House, and
when taken up Mr.. Lewis moved that it be
laid over. He said that the people would
condemn the bill as partisan scheme, and
at the request of the introducer he wished
spoiled a whole lot of political thunder
which Mr.. Flynn and other House demo-
Gratis had been storing away to hurl at the
measure as soon as it showed its head.
At the evening session of the Senate, Mr.
Voorhees, had the bill recalled from the

bill, notwithstanding all their loud mouth
ings about being the champions of all that is
pure and holy in politics.
At the opening of the afternoon session
Mr.. Flynn moved that the committee be re-
lieved from further consideration of the bill.
He rehearsed the many pretensions TO re-
form which the Republicans are const antly
making and called upon them to make good
some of those pretensions.
Mr. McEwan made strong speech in
favor of the bill He said that under the
law the people would have chance to assert
themselves at the primaries, and the nomi-
nations would not be SO completely under
the control of the bosses as they are now. 1t
was decided step, he declared, in the direc-
ticn of that reform to which the Republican
party was pledged.
Champion Storrs, in whose bosom the
.Star-eyed Goddess of Reform is supposed
to nestle familiarly, demonstrated the sin
certify of his many pretensions as an econo-
mist and refor1ner by, raising q rather
peculiar and flshy point of order. His point
was that as notice of the resolution TO re-
lieve the committee had been given by the
gentleman from Hudson, Mr.. Kerr Mr..
Flynn could not advocate its adoption.
Then Mr.. Kerr turned tail and ran away
from the issue. He said he took the matter
up at the request of a gentleman. but when
he found that the bill contained sixteen
pages and somewhat complicated and he
did not intend to get mixed up with it, SO he
asked the gentleman from Passaic, Mr..
Flynn, to take it up for him.
As Mr.. Storrs' fiirnsy objection did not
avail, the Speaker took a hand In the mi1r-
der and stuck another knife in the bill by
announcing that under the rules the bill
would lay over.
Mr.. Flynn was equal to the emergency
and moved that the rules be suspended and
the resolution be passed. This resolution
was carried, the vote being as follows: Ayes
Alpaugh, Beekman, Byrne, Carroll, Clarke,

DIR. MEYER CONVICTED.

NEW York, May is, 1S94.-The jury in the
Meyer case rendered verdict of guilty of
murder in the second degree this morning.
The jury came in shortly after eleven
o'clock and the defendant looked very pale
as he faced the twelve men. When Foreman
Wersche announced the verdict Meyer grew
deadly white. 1t is said that he expected
either disagreement or acquittal.
At two o'clock last night the jury stood
nine to three in favor of murder in the first
degree. They fought the question out until
six o'clock this morning.
The police officials from Toledo, Ohio,
must go away without Dr. Meyer, who will
probably spend the remainder of his life in
in Sing Sing.
Mr.. Brooke made the usual motion for a
new trial The Recorder said he would give
the defence two weeks to file the papers.
Meyer will not be sentenced until the motion
is heard.
Meyer was taken away to the Tombs in
custody of Deputy Sheriff Browne. A great
crowd of people watched the convicted muir
derer come out of the General Sessions

UNCLE SAM TO MAKE NICKEL.
Appropriations for Works TO BE Ess
tablished in New York State.

OTTAWA, Ont, May 18, 1S94,-An appros
priation of $500, 900 having been made BY
the United States Government for the pur{
pose of establishing nickel smelling works,
and further appr ropriation of a million OF
more being in prospect for the same puI$
pose, it is generally believed that the Dot
minion Government will place an export
duty on Canadian nickel.
1t is understood that sthe United States
Government has had an expert metallurgisa
making Investigations in Germany into the
methods of producing nickel, and that ha
has established it as fact that the present
process of producing nickel from the metal.
instead Of by direct treatment of the crude
ore, results in a loss of many Of the besz
qualities of the metal
He has devised new process by which,
nickel of quality superior to any nickel yet
produced can be made. This process is ths
one which will be used in National
smelling works which the United Statef
Government is about establishing. Ths
works will probably be situated
in New York State, in the vicinity of
Buffalo, and the ore win be shipped there
direct from the Sudbury district in its
crude state.
An export duty on nickel would therefore
help to I'LL the Canadian treasury. which il
now suffering from scarcity of revenue.

How President Rogers KILLED a
Measure In the Peoples Interest.
Special to the Jersey City Nears.
TRENTON, May 1s, 1894. The corporation
influence, which controls this Legislature,
succeeded, last night, in killing measure
which was plainly in the interest of the peo-
pie, and the people of limited means at that
Mr. Eisele's bill, which compels the indus
trial insurance companies to issue paid up
policies after four years. premiums have
been paid, passed the House after one of the
bittereSt fights of the session. 1t was or
iginally proposed to have the policy issue
after three years, and the companies had it
amended. Their agents then said they had
no objections to the bill and were willing it
should pass.
it went over to the Senate and was re-
ferred to the COMMITTEES on Municipal Cor
porations, where it has remained ever since.
One of the most active in killing the meas
ure was Wilbur Mott, Clerk of the Senate,
who has interested himself as much in cor
poration measures during the session as he
has in the business of the State.
Senator Hinchliffe made an effort last
night to get the bill from the committee, but
was rendered pcwerless by a ruling of
President Rogers, to the effect that no COM
nlittee could Be relieved of measure.
mot by the votes of eleven Senator's ~
asked Mr. Hinchiiffe.
mo- SIR replied the President, mot by
the votes of eleven Senators. There is no
provision in the rules of the Senate for re-
iieving committee of bill y
'Then this Senate is Of no more account
than a wooden Indian in front Of a cigar
store,' retorted the Passaic Senator. "It is
wrong principle to allow q committee to
be the whole Senate The people want this
measure. 1t is just and honest. Here we
have three great insurance companies mines
of wealth, fattened by money wrung from
the poor people, with rope around this
Legislature
Gan insurance agent from my county
openly boasted that we could not pass this
bill as the company bad too much, money
and owned the Legislature. In my city alone
(Paterson) over 5000 people are insured in
these prudential companies. It is a good
bill, say, and it passed the House with only
two votes against it, only to be smothered
by the high and mighty Senate.
This invectiye had no more effect upon
corporation Senators than water on ducks
back All President Rogers said was 1.-THE
Senate will proceed to business"

VIII Hold ON TO HIS Office.
Special to the jersey xy Ncirs.
TRENTON, May IS, 1s94.-One of the most
persevering young statesmen in New Jersey
is Mr. John j. Matthews of Elizabeth, and
as perseverance conquers all things it neces-
sarily follows that Mr.. Matthews is also one
of the most successful young statesmen of
New Jersey Some four years ago. with the
assistance of his friend, Fred Marsh, who
then represented Union in the Senate, Mr.
Matthews secured the passage Of a law pro-
viding for the appointment of Superin
tendent of School Census aud his appoint
ment to the office before anyone realized
such bill had been introduced. The posi-
tion was one upon which several envious
republicans cast their eyes at the beginning
of the session and the abolishrnent of Mr.
Matthews was scheduled early in the game,
as measure of economy and reform"
If Mr. Carroll or some other expert in such
matters had been allowed to open a book at
the beginning Of the session. he would have
given long odds against Mr. Matthews re-
tanning his, position, for it was apparent to
everyone that ne would have to go, that is
to everyone but Mr.. Matthews. When every
one else looked upon the case as
hopeless, Mr.. Matthews was as clipper
as ever, and smiled as henigngly
and innocently as before. It hight be said
in passing that the childlike and bland smile
of the famous Mr. All. Sin, late of Gala
wares County California, was not in with
the cherubic light which beams from the
countenance of Mr. Matthews. Fortune
smiled upon Mr. Matthews. The Repubh-
can scheme was to have his successor ap-
pointed by the trustees Of the school fund,
which was made Republican early in the
session in order to insure the possession of
the office to one of that faith. The father Of
DR.. Wilbur, one Of the Mercer Assembly
men, was slated for the position. Mr.. Mat
thews succeeded in having the bill
hung up in the Senate long enough
to have little amendment inserted
which provides that he shall retain office
until December 1, and then his successor be
appointed by the State Board of Education.
The bill, with these amendments, came back
to the House yesterday afternoon when the
members were having their fun and paying
little attention to bills which were rushing
through under suspension of the rules at
rate that made the head of those who at
tempted to keep track of them, swim 1t
was sprung upon the House when DR. w ilbur
was not watching and before he realized
what be had done he had accepted the
amendments and the House had agreed to
them.
What no is kicking himself today for is
txatby December the State Board of Edu-
cation will consist of an equal number of
republicans and democrats, and it will be
many time for taking the census before
the Democrats win consent to dismiss Mr.
Matthews Everyone acknowledges that he
has been a careful, painstaking and
economical official and has done his work

caused everyone to laugh, including the
Speaker, by saying in conclusion that now
Mr.. Holt had been made Riparian Com
missioner, he hoped he would bring up Mr..
Coyle's two cent ferriage bill.
Much to the surprise of everyone, includ-
ing the railroad lobbyists, the Speaker sub
sequently did take up the measure Mr..
Coyle thanked him for his kindness and said
that the bill had been so amended that the
fare was two cents only between the hours
Of five and seven o'clock, both morning and
evening.
Mr.. McEwan said he wanted some of those
republicans who had become hardened and
forgotten their pledges to the people to see in
that bill an opportunity to wipe away some
of the wrongs they had committed during
the session, The bill passed by vote of Al
to 10, the Speaker, of course, voting against
it.
Mr.. Carroll predicted its ultimate fate by
moving that it be sent Immediately to the
Committee on Municipal Corporations
