TRACTION ooMPANy's NEW ENGINE

NEWARK, March 20, 1S95.-Additional
power has been obtained from the new
power house of the Consolidated Trac-
lion Company, and now there is moth
ing to prevent the company from making
all the changes which have been prom
ised from time to time by General Mana
ager Young. The big Watts-Campbell
engine and it's great generator to which
it is directly connected by the main
shaft, was started on Thursday evening
at s o'clock by Miss Lille Kruger, in
the presence of B. M. Stanley Gottfried
Kruger and others. Miss hrueger adj
nlitted steam TO the big engine and then
closed the switch which connects the
generator with tfle feeders The power
house is not completed. inasmuch as tive
more big engines are yet to be installed,
hut the company now has power enough
for all immediate demands and can
nearly double the present facilities on
each of the existing lines. 1t has power
to burn now. and 1t is to be hoped that
some of it will be burned that there may
be better lights in the cars.

1day. u years of age, living at No 3s9
Elk street, was shot and robbed at 1920

LEAVES THAT CRAWL
One of the Strange stories of the
wonders of Australia.


Wonders of Australia.
Among the strange stories told about
the wonderful things s+o be found in
Australia there is one Of crawling leaves.
English sailors first brought an account
of this phenomenon. They were roaming
along the coast when a, sudden breeze
shook down q number Of leaves. which
noated gently to the ground. The sail
ors were surprised at this shower, because
1t was not the fall of the year, but mid
summer, and the falling. leaves looked
fresh and green. But this was nothing
to what followed. After a short rest
these leaves began crawling along the
ground toward the tree from which they
came.
The sailors were too much frightened
to stop and Investigate, and one of the
men said, in relating the adventure, that
he expected every minute to see the trees
step out and dance hornpipe. For
tunately other travellers were net too
much frightened to stop and examine
the matter 1t was discovered that these
queer leaves are really insects which
live upon the trees, and are Of the same
thin, fiat bodies, and wings shaped like
breeze they fold their legs under their
bodies and then the leaf-lilse shape, with
they bright green in summer, like the
foliage of the trees at that time, but
they actually change like the leaves do
to the dull brown produced by frost.
that when shaken to the ground they
seldom use their wings. After lying
there for few minutes as though they
were really leaves they crawl to the
tire and ascend the trunk without seeming
to know that they have the power to get
back to their quarters tn much easier
and quicker way.-New Orleans Picayune.

REINA REGENTE MYSTERY


MADRID, March 20, 1S95.-"El Impair
cial" this morning says the report that
the wreck of the missing cruiser Reina
Regente has been discovered is utterly
without foundation. The Alfonso XII,
which was sent out to search for the
missing ship. has, the paper asserts, re-
turned from her cruise without having
obtaired any news regarding the fate
of the cruiser. The Government still
entertains the hope that the Reina Re
gente, having run short of coal, has been
blown into the Atlantic and may yet
be heard from.
The correspondence" this morning
reiterates the assertion that the Reina
Regenta was discovered sunk in shallow
water at Bajo Aceitnues, adding that
the wreck was just visible at low tide.
The paper also says that the cruiser
Alfonso XII. has brought from the wreck
the bodies of thirty of the crew of the
wrecked ship. The Alfonso XII. will
return to the scene OF the wreck with
divers and dragging apparatus.
4 cushion washed ashore at Tarifa has
been Identified as having come from the
cabin of the Reina Regente.
1t IS asserted here that Admiral Pas
qliin, Minister of Marine, knows the
truth regarding the missing cruiser, but
that no official announcement of her fate
will he printed until a new Cabinet shall
have .ssen formed. Meanwhile Cadiz and
Carthagena, where most of the officers

mourning and the women Of these cities
are heaping 1naledictions upon the heads

that power to the Legislature.

ludl power TO the LeelSldluiS-
NATURALIZATION BILL VETOED.
Governor Werts sent in veto OF AS
senably Bill No. 2. Mr.. Storrs' naturali-
zation laws. The Governor says his
veto is embodied in an opinion given by
the AttorneyGeneral, declaring the act
unconstitutional. The Attorney-General
In his opinion cites the naturalization
act of Congress. and then goes on to say
that the Storrs bill, in Its first section,
undertakes to define which of the State
Courts shall have Jurisdiction on the sub
ject of naturalization and limits the jur-
isdiction to specified Courts, thereby de-
priving certain Courts of the power
conferred by the act .of Congress. This
is beyond the power of the Legislature
to do. because the Courts of the State
are made by Congress the agents of the
general Government for the purpose of
making cities of the United States
out of aliens in the manner provided by
Congress. and not otherwise.
LEGISLATIVE RESTRICTION.
State legislation could not vest the
jurisdiction in State court, neither can
it deprive a State court of the jurisdic-
ton conferred by Congress.
The Attorney-General quoted the Sec
ond consecutively up to the sixth Sec
ton of the Storrs bill. which make de-
tails for the process of naturalization
in the State courts, ETC., and then says
1T is manifest. therefore. that in adj
dition to the requirements of the act of
Congress that many other things must
be done before an alien can be natural
ized under the provisions of this act.
That in many cases the time when the
alien may become a licensed citizen will
be longer period than that required by
the act of Congress, and that courts
authorized by the act of Congress may
under the provisions of this act be de-
prived of their jurisdiction in the mat
ter
81 do not think that many of the State
Legislatures have power to pass any law
which conflicts with the clause of the
act Of Congress, which says that an alien
may be admitted to become a citizen of
the United States in the following man.
ner and not otherwise
The Attorney General then goes on to
cite authorities In support of his conten-
ton and concludes in the following Ian
guage:-
RIGHT VESTED IN CONGRESS.
II am of the opinion that the act SUBJ
rnitted to me is unconstitutional because
the power of passing uniform rules of
naturalization is vested exclusively in
Congress and that no State has power
by legislation enactment to create citi-
zens of the United States.I am also of
opinion that 1t is Unconstitutional for a
State LEGISLATURE to add to the require
ments or qualifications prescribed by
Congress or to attempt to prevent the
naturalization of aliens who have the
qualifications required and pursue the
course directed by the statutes of the
United States In such cases made and
provided"
Democratic primaries will be held to-
day from four p NJ. to nine P. NJ

candidates for the coming election Of
