COXBYIqES STARVING.
Application Made to the Wash.
ington Poor Authorities for
Relief.

WASHINGTON, June 5, 1894.-The bands of
deluded Coxeyites e~ntrenched in the two en-
campments at Highlands and Bladensburg
on the outskirts of Washington are reported
to be suffering for the common necessaries
Of life and the authorities of the
city of Washington, who took stern
measures for the repression OF the
movement wheni it seemed likely it might
become a public menace, are ROW humanely
lief from actual physical suffering Il star
walton. In the .Coxey camp at Highlands
there is nothing but bread and water.
The condition of tho camp OF the Calvin
ties at Bladensburg is lot much better. By
going to the residents of the immediate CON-
munity some OF them have nae their nun
ger assuaged temporarily, but the majority
Of the $50 men are not getting sufficient food
to sustain life for any considerable period
of time.
ASKED PERMISSION TO BEG.
George e. Ward, who ranks noxt to Gal
vim, called at tho Office OF the District Com
missioners yesterday aud asked permission TO
solicit supplies from the business ipen OF the
district to last them till they can leave the
city. Commissioner Rose called q meet
ing of his colleagues and gave
Ward a hearing. Ward explained that
the men were suffering for want Of food he
said he knew they had coma here without
any invitation from tho people OF the Dis
trict and that proper precautions should
nave been taken to see that food was on
hand: they had expected food from tho
West. He says thoy will leave by the last OF
this week, but must have something TO eat
at once or starve.
In speaking of the matter afterwards
Commissioner Ross said that however much
he might condemn the delusion that rae
brought the men here, he meant to do what
he could to give them relief till they can get
away, and that he hoped people will respond
to the appeal for their relief.

HABEAS CoRPu APPLICATION ABANDONED.
The application for a writ of habeas cor
pus for the three imprisoned "Wealers' has
been abandoned by Representative Hudson.
Mr.. Coxey either did not ave SIS to deposit
with the clerk OF the Supreme Court, or,
what is more probable, he did not care to drop
that much money when there was hardly a
remote probability of any benefit being
derived therefrom. Carl Browne announces
his Interchangeable purpose Of serving ten
days in Jail rather than pay the five dollars
fine imposed upon him In addition to the
twenty days imprisonment. Coxey will
gladly pay his S. to secure his liberty.

Their Married Esro.ner Tells About
Ia Actions of the Boys.
Theodore Woods called at HoboKen Police
Headquarters this morning, and asked
where the two Woods boys were who were
arrested on Saturday night in Hoboken for
running away from their guardian in Ne
braska. They had been sent to New York
to the Children's Aid Society. Woods is a
brakeman in the freight yards of the D., L..
& w. R.R.. and lives at No. 457 Second
street. He told Recorder McDonough that
the boys lived with their father and mother
in Eoboken, on Willow avenue until six
years ago. Then the family moved to New
York. The father and mother separated
and the boys became unruly. Theodore and
his wife took them for a while until
thoy nearly hammered their sister-in-
laws head of one day. Then Theodore
sent them back to their father. in New York
and the latter turned them over to the So
ciety for the Improvement of the Condition
OF the Poor. From there they were linden
tured to tho farmer In Nebraska and prob
ably become more manageable under his
tuition. Theodore said he would look for
them, but did not expect to ind his brothers.
He does not know whore his father and
mother are living at present, but thinks it is
somewhere In New York.

A Bond ;s an obHoat;on 70 nav monov

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 Al obligation to
pay a sum of money to the holder with inter-
est at the rate of five per cent. The Com
pany sells these bonds at par and accrued in
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 have if he had the mortgage
in mis- possession.

A BellevllIe Surprise Party.

The Street and Water Board must
have given the gentlemen at Belle
vile quite a surprise party this morn
ing. 1t was real friendly" of them
to drop in to breakfast. as it were.
No doubt the boys were glad to see
them, but were politely agitated be-
cause due time had not been given
them to prepare for the entertainment
of their guests.
However. let US hope they were not
caught unawares, that the big pumps
were all oiled and polished up, the
engines all running smooth and the
hearths and ashpans all well cleaned
up. Above all, let us hope that the
boys were alt on hand bright and
early and all working just IS hard as
If there was really work enough to
keep them busy.
While the Commissioners are out
there, it is to be hoped, also. that
they will take a look at the Passaic
River itself. They will probably be
edited by the condition of the gentle
stream. They will see the fluid We
drink in its native wiIds, rich with
the contributions of the various sew
ers and drains from Newark to Pat
erson. 1t will be an edifying spec
tacle for their unaccustomed eyes.
1t may aid them in their future con-
sideration of the important ques-
tion:-Are we to have a new supply
Of pure and wholesome water?

The Tin Plate Situation.

In a recent issue of the Lonmon-
gers Chronicle, an English trade pa
per, Mr.. David Charles Davies,
United States Consul at Swansea, de-
rides the American tin plate industry
as a mere fake. To this the Philadel-
phia Press opposes the evidence of the
Metal Worker, a publication devoted
to the interests of the roofing and
plumbing business. The Press quotes
from it the following
From heimporters'standpoint 1t is exceedingly dull,
tia other hand. domestic manufacturers report an
active demand for every pound they are able to
produce. whether of bright or roofing plates. : > >
Tas quality OF American tin plates generally is so
eeod that consumers prefer them, ask for them, and
take Imported plates with reluctance il they cannot
get domestic. 4 short time since before it was
hing house decided to handle only American plates.
This is good news il true. Ii it is
true, the industry is no longer an in
FAINT cne. Let us at once cut off the
present prshibitive duty on imported
foreign plate, cut it down to some
thing moderate, and put the .block"
tin on the free list. 1t is at least GER
tain that we have no tin to mine in
this country.

The Next Legislature.

The question of the probable com
plexionlofthe next Legislature-which
will elect a United States Senator to
succeed Senator McPherson-is again
actively discussed BY the press of the
State. The talk was stirred up by
the Newark Cal, which, with re-
markables acanten, presages that the
Legislature on, joint ballot will be
Republican fit is not Democratic. and
will be Democratic if it is not Repub-
lican. Starting from this safe ground
it concludes that the next Senator
from New Jersey will be either Gen
reral Sewell or somebody else. 1t is
really a satisfaction to have all nn-
certainty eliminated from the future
In this way. Knowing what to sex-
peet the people of New Jersey can
now enter upon the campaign with
placid confidence in Providence and
the Constitution.
Here are the elements out of which
any obstinate man who will not ac-

A Decided Falling Off Of the
Epidemic in Europe.

WASHINGTON, June 5, 1894 Official re
ports just received by the Marine Hospital
Service as to the general cholera situation
In Europe are somewhat Measuring SO fal
as regards those parts of Europe towards
which tho tide of American summer travel
tends.
There is a decided falling off Of the cpl
demic of cholera in Eastern Galicia; the last
report showing only four cases and two
deaths, the total to date being 80 cases and
10 deaths.
As regards Skala and Sikierzynce, TIE
Galician towns, both near the Austro- Rus
sian frontier, in which cholera now prevails,
it should be stated that the drinking water
used by the people comes from a polluted
river; there are no wells or springs. The
situation along the Russian frontier may be
regarded as dangerous, owing to the number
Of centers of Infection.
In Constaptinople the condition of the
epidemic varies greatly from week to week,
but ON the whole. may be considered as
greatly ameliorated.
IN TURKEY
1t is believed that the dissemination of
cholera in Turkey is chiefly due to trans
port ships conveying Turkish troops from
point to point.

very conflicting. This much, however. is
certain, that an epidemic, at first believed to
be simple diarrh@a, appeared here
early in April. Later it was an
nounced that the coma bacillus had
baen found, and as this occurred at a time
when there was an average of seventy cases
daily, quite a panic ensued. The epidemic
has now somewhat abated, and it is officially
denied that the disease was Asiatic cholera.
La Spain sporadic cases of cholera have
been reported but not officially confirmed.
In France cases of cholera continue to
occur In the departments of Finlstere and
Moroiban.
No cholera cases lave been reported in
Italy. The quarantine regulations of this
country AVE been increased and several
new stations established.
IN SPAIN.
In Spanish ports there is no quarantine at
present against Tripolia, Salonica, st.
Petersburg, ports Of the Black Sea, Sea of
Azov or the Persian Gulf. There is how
ever. q rigid quarantine against Lisbon, with
detention and disinfection.
In Greece. strange to say, there is a quar-
intine established against all vessels coming
from Russian or Rounanian ports, but not
against ports of Turkey.
III RoImania all vessels coming from Con
stantinopie or Trebizond are subject to three
days quarantine.

INDIA SILK GOWN.

skirts only 3N yards in circumference are
accepted as quito in the mode. -Four yards
have been the narrowest limit for some
time past.
1t is stated that haircloth facings are to
be dispensed with, and if stiffening Is in
sisted upon it shall be in the form of a
haircloth petticoat stitched into the prop
er shape. Petticoats trimmed with ruffles
having corded hens are also recommended
as holding out the dress skirt satisfactorily.
All thin summer silks have the skirt Ell
Their double, draped or more or less trim
med. Flounces, both circular and straight,
are employed, with lace, ruchings, rib
bcns, ~festoons and all manner of pretty
devices that show to advantage in light
weight goods. The fullness of the skirt is
arranged nearly all in the back, the front
being rather closer fitting than during the
winter. BOdices arc very much trimmed
IN every imaginable way. They are made
both with and without high collars, while
sleeves are anything except plain, although
sleeves tight from shoulder to wrist have
been solcmnly predicted by the authorities
in such matters. At present they spread
as far out between the shoulder and elbow
as tho quality of the goods will permit.
TIL sleeve may DO in gigot style, or the
upper part may consist of one, two or three
cuffs or rufles while the lower part is tight.
There is even a revival of tho sleeve puffed
throughout its length, either around the
arm or lcngthwisc of it. This is a pretty
fashion for gowns of muslin, india silk OF
other thin goods.
A sketch is given of a summer costume
of figured india silk. The skirt is trim
med with circular 1ounces arranged in
cascades, the top Of each being finished
with o ribbon bow to match the color of

sleeves have lace cuffs at the wrists and a
silk puff above the elbow which is decorat-
cd with bows and bands of ribbon. A rib
