F. Lane, who occupies $4,000 position
at Washington. He paid Bateman 500
for what the State paid him $3.50.
Senator Skirm denounced this system
roundly and said that these publishers
should do the work themselves and cir
culate the money in their own towns.
1t was shown that the Democrat and
Chronicle of Jersey City bought their
paper with the laws already published
in them in New York.
NEWSPAPERS AT FAULT.
Mr.. Corbin closed this branch OF the
investigation with a bitter philippe
against this system of printing the laws
in the newspapers. He said that i,
stified the voice of the press so that it
was no longer the fearless outspoken
critic of public men and officers it should
be. Under this patronage things had
come to such pass that no reform
had been inaugurated by the papers OF
the State; but all such movements of
late had been started by the papers OF
New York and Philadelphia. He quali-
fed his remarks with the statement that
the press of the State with but few ex-
ceptions were even now outspoken in
their condemnation of prevailing abuses.

GIBBONS OFF FOR ROME.

NEW YORK. May 49, 1895.-Among the
375 passengers who sailed this morning
on the French Line steamer La Tour
aine for Havre, was Cardinal Gibbons.
The Cardinal goes to Rome, where he
will visit the Pope and discuss Ameri-
can church matters He said before
sailing that his visit had no special sig
nificance, and that no matter of moment
would come up. 1t is said, however,
that one matter which will receive the
attention of the Pope and Cardinal Glib
bons will be the Pope's recent encycli-
cal. the reception of which in this coun-
try did not please the Pope. This mat
ter. it is said,will be taken up. and some
people think it is just possible that
supplementary letter ON American
church matters will be written by the
Pope.
The Cardinal occupied family suite No.
81 on the starboard side of the La Tour
aine forward and it will be, shared by
Bishop Foley, of Detroit, who will ac-
company him.
Many handsome floral pieces were sent
to the vessel this morning addressed to
Cardinal Gibbons from prominent Catho-
lies The Cardinal looked extremely
well as he bade goodbye to friends on
the steamers deck, and expressed him
self as being in the best of health.

BRITANNIA WINS AGAIN.
Defeated the Ailsa by enc Minute
Actual Time.
Bv Cable to the United Press.


LONDON, May IS, 1S95.-Three matches
were sailed in the regatta of the Royal
Thames Yacht Club at Gravesend today.
The first was between the Britannia
and the Ailsa, the second between the
forty-raters, Carina, Caress and Isolde,
and the third between the snall-raters,
Luna, Stephanie and Audrey. There was
also handicap race between the Ma
mara and the Maid Marion. There was
very moderate north northeast breeze.
The course was from the Lower Hope,
round the Mouse Lightship and return
to Gravesend, a distance of fifty miles
The weather was cloudy, but at the
time of the start showed signs of clear
ing. There was fair wind from the
northeast as the boats got away, but
it was a telling breeze. The Ailsa, with
windward berth, crossed the line at
11:41 so, the Britannia at 11:42:15. The
yachts crossed the line on the starboard
tack, carrying main and foresail, jib
and jacl1topsails. Almost Immediately
after crossing the line they tackled to
port and set their flying jibs. The Ailsa
made short board inshore and then
tackled to the starboard and drew away.
The Britannia made a longer board to
port and when she tackled to starboard
it was noticeable that the Ailsa had
increased her lead. The wind dropped
and the sun almost broke through the
clouds. but the sky soon dulled again.
The Britannia won again, defeating the
Ailsa by one minute, actual time. The
boats crossed the finish as follows
Britannia, S:55:00; Ailsa, 3:56:06.

M'ADoo FOR GOVERNOR.
Prominent Men Urge Him to Become
the Democratic Candidate.

From this mornings Philadelphia Press.)
WASHINGTON, May II, 1S95-William
McAdoo, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy, is still in doubt about the New
Jersey Gubernatorial nomination. He is
in daily receipt of letters from promi-
nent men of the State urging him to
make the race for the nomination. Some
very 1attering things are said in these
letters and Secretary McAdoo is natural
ly pleased with them. Some of the writ
ers appear to be quite sure of his cleo
ton in the event of his consenting to
run. Mr. McAdoo himself believes the
Democratic prospects are bright for the
election of a Democratic Governor. But
he is too old in politics and too conserv-
ative man in every way to leap before
he looks.
Senator Smith is believed here to have
the largest say in the matter. And, in
the opinion of the New Jersey politi-
clans who have come to Washington,
the man he selects will be the one to
receive the nomination. Mr.. McAdoo is
very highly thought of by Senator
Smith, and the two have been in close
consultation during the past few days.
Were Senator Smith to throw his in
fiuence to the man whom he personally
favors, Mr.. McAdoo would probably be
nominated. But the Senator, like Mr.
McAdoo, wants that man nominated who
will have the greatest chance of success.

GEM DOESN'T CARE.
Not Particular whether He Gets
New Trial or Not.

Paul GEM was seen in corridor No. 1
of the County Jail by a reporter and
questioned about the motion his coun-
sci are to make for a new trial.
"Do you want new trial?" he was
asked.
mo. sir: do not" responded the
murderer
Mr.. Stuhr. one of his lawyers, was
there and to him GEM said:-"Do what
ever you think right" Genz seemed
more interested in his pet cat Jim"
than he did in relation to his fate. He
referred to the remarks made by Prose
cutor Winfield at the trial that he was
a coward. He took exception to this, say
ing:-'.There was never a coward in my
family and I am not one, He had
thrown package of dynamite which was
in danger of exploding, out of the win
dow at a place where he was working
in New York His two companions had
fled when they saw the danger. He ex-
hibited a large scar on his arm and
explained that he had a larger one on
his back He explained that they We're
left there from injuries he had received
in an accident while trying to save. other
mems lives. He seems. to care little what
to have moved for a new trial this morn
ing The Court could not hear, the mo-
ton. however, and the case has been
postponed until next week. Justice Lip,
pincott will not sentence Genz until
Thursday.

IT MAY MEAN WAR
Trouble Expected With
Great Britain in the
Behring Sea-
UNCLE SANS VIGOROUS ORDERS
Agreement as to Pelagic Seal Fish
ing Violated by English
Sealing Vessels.

WASHINGTON, May 1S, 1S95.-Appre-
hension is expressed by high officials over
the Behring Sea situation this year and
fear of open collision between United
States revenue cutters and British seal
ing vessels and men of war are entertain-
ed.
Under article of the Paris Tribunal,
sealing by vessels within zone of sixty
miles around the Pribyloff Islands was
prohibited This article was very gener-
ally observed last year.
Article of the same agreement pro-
vides that no sealing should take place
between May 1 and July 81 north of the
thirty7fifth degree of latitude and east
ward of the 18Oth degree of longitude.
This article, it is said, was repeatedly
violated and several seizures were made
in consequence.
Another regulation or article in force
last year provided that vessels destined
for sealing voyage in Japanese waters
should have their sailing equipment under
decks and sealed while passing through
that part of Behring Sea described in ar
ticle 2. This was to prevent pelagic seal
ing en- route to Japan. AS already stated
in these dispatches, this regulation will
not be enforced this year by the British
Government against Canadian sealerss
the excuse being that the s425,Oo0 promised
to Canadian vessels as indemnity for il
legal seizures was not appropriated BY
the United States Congress.
IT MAY BE A CASUS BELLI.
The feet of United States revenue mae
rine vessels under command of Captain
Hooper. it is understood, have been in
structed that the United States regards
the regulation as to vessels passing
through the sea as described by article
2 of the Paris Tribunal as still in force,
and they are ordered to seize all vessels
which violate it. It is here where the coll
lision between the two countries may
occur unless Great Britain recedes from
the position it has taken.

THE BOARD OBJECTS.
Hoboken,s Municipal Expenses I'm
der Comsid Grafton.

The members of the Hoboken Board
of Tax Commissioners met again last
night and received communications from
the various city departments relative to
the amount of money needed to run
each. Poormaster Miller asked for an
appropriation of $500, Water Registrar
Lohmann wants $4,000 to lay 2,125 feet of
new mains, the councils submitted
report that it took $2S, S,4SS.9S to light the
streets, and the Board of Health fixed
the amount to maintain their depart
ment at $500.
81 see by the papers," sasd Commits
sioner SchinzeI, that the fire board mas
increased the salary of its clerk from
$500 to 1000 per Year. What I want to
know is whether we are compelled TO
appropriate that sum or whether we can
appropriate any amount should we be
convinced that the clerk was not need
ed
81 am of the opinion that you must
appropriate for his salary" Corporation
Attorney Minturn replied.
'sWell," said Mr.. Schinzel, 'should the
Fire Commissioners still increase his
salary to $500, would we be compelled
to appropriate that amount@'F
81 am of the opinion. = replied the
legal adviser, that the Fire Commits
sioners have the power to fix the salary
of the clerk. You should have other
Commissioners if the present ones pay
exorbitant salaries"
I'VE could elect better ones. and am
not afraid to say So" returned Mr..
Schinzel-, II do not believe that they
need a clerk"
81 am willing to do what is fair" said
Commissioner Hexamer. .but | am not
in favor of appropriat.ng for unneces-
sary help
President Baldwin asked the Corpoa-
ton Attorney if there was a law giving
the Fire Commissioners the power to
create the Office of clerk. Mr.. Minturp
said he would look UP the matter anc
report at next Tuesdays meeting.
Street Commissioner Bayer then said 1t
would take about $7,354 for the cleaning
of the streets, whereupon Commissioner
Woodman exclaimed:
t'Hum, that's too much, the street
where live has been cleaned only once
this year" :.
corrected Mr.. -Bayer.
A short discussion followed which
showed that Mr. Woodman meant from
January l. 1895, while Mr.. Bayer re-
ferred to the fiscal year. A discussion
as to the adyisability of following. Col.
wagons left in the street over night to

BLOCKED With DEBRIS
Freight Trains Collide on the
Jersey Central Road
Engineer Killed.
Special to the Jersey Csty Nears.

SOMERyILLE, May IS, 1S95.-A coal
and freight train wreck occurred early
this morning, just east of Bound Brook
station, on the New Jersey Central Rail
road, in which Harry Buck, the engineer
of the fast Philadelphia and Reading
freight train, was instantly killed, his
fireman badly bruised, and the conduc~
tor of the coal train scalded and cut
about the head. All four tracks We're
blocked by the mass Of debris which COW
cred them and was piled in some places
twenty feet high. The tracks were torn
up for a distance of 200 feet. Trains are
now running over the Lehigh Valley line.
1t was about one o'clock this morning
when Engine GAS of the Philadelphia and
Reading, coming west with a long train
of empty coal cars, reached the wide
curve east of Bound Brook. How the
coal train was wrecked no one seems to
know, nor can it be ascertained until
the wreck is cleared Brakeman Shower
says that he was in the middle of the
train, putting on hand brakes, when the
crash came. He was thrown forty feet
away, over upon the tracks of the Lc-
high Valley Railroad. Looking back, he
saw the cars piled twenty feet high and
the tracks covered with wreckage.
ENGINE TOPPLED OVER.
One minute afterward the second sec
ton of the heavily loaded fast Phila-
delphsa freight drawn by big compound
engine No. COS, with Engineer Harry
Buck at the throttle. flashed into view,
coming east around the curve. An
effort was made to stop the freight.
but the road is down grade there, and
before Buck could apply the brakes and
sand, the engine crashed into the mass
of wreckage. The big engine struck
the wreck with tremendous force and
toppled over on its side, with the heavy
cars following it piled one by one on top
of the cab.
Engineer Buck. when he saw that he
could not stop in time, ran out on the
footboard and prepared to jump. As the
crash came he leaped, but it was too
late. He was pinned under the engine
and the life crushed out of him. His
fireman, William Sanders, who was in
the tender, escaped with his life, al
though he was bruised and scalded. Buck
lived in Philadelphia, and was one of
the Oldest men on the Philadelphia &
Reading Railroad.
"A large force of trackmen and two
wrecking crews went at once to the
scene to clear the tracks.
No blame IS attached to anyone. There
is a signal tower on the curve, but it is
supposed that Buck saw the signal toe
late. All the early morning trains were
run from Bound Brook into Jersey City
over the Lehigh Valley Railroad.

DISCUSSING SEMINARY CONTROL
Important Debate in the General Re-
publican Assembly.

PITTSBURG, May IS, 1895.-The third
days session of the PRESBYTERIAN Gen
eral Assembly opened this morning with
a resumption of the debate on the ques-
ton of Seminary control. Both parties
are compact and determined on this
the most important issue that has been
before the church since the reunion in
1870. The liberals have gathered strength
from the peace-loving conservatives and
from their friends of the seminaries who
fear dreadful results to their beloved
institutions will follow from Assembly
control. In favor of the plan proposed
by the control of the seminaries stand
only the extreme conservatives, and they
find in the Assembly men and forces ar
rayed against them whom they have
always counted in their following. The
same men who would have voted against
Briggs and Smith are against the anti
Briggs leaders on this issue. So it hap
pens today that the General Assembly
is almost on the even balance. A motion
to lay the whole question on the table
would probably prevail unless roll-caH
were ordered to- frighten away some of
the liberal following.
Chairman Young being absent, ex-
Moderator Mutchmore took charge of
LnG report.
Mr.. w. w. Mckinney concluded his
argument in favor of the adoption of
the committees report.
An attempt to restrict debate to ten
minute, speeches was overwhelmingly
crushed.
DR.. White, of Columbus, Ohio, opposed
the adoption of the report He held that
the committee expressly stated in their
conferences with the seminary boards
in regard to the plan of control that the
answers of the boards should not change
the relations of the seminarieS to the
church. The plan was in effect an over
ture submitted to the consideration of
the boards. and their answers were to
be regarded as the Judgment of the
DR.. White argued that distrust of the
seminaries was the basis of this pro-
posed change in seminary control. He
read distrust in every line of the COM
mittee's report. He believed that the
committees activity had created dis
play upon that distrust. What caused
that distrust?' he asked
Voice-eUnion Seminary"
THAT is the occasion of the d.Strust,'
he replied. Because Union violated
the compact, Princeton may do It.
Therefore Princeton must give guar.
antees because Union is scamp"
Cloud and long applazse.) He explained
the difficulties that lay in the way of
the seminaries to make the changes
proposed in their charters without for
feiture of their funds.

report, being in possession of the floor
