The Trimming Ship Pertsmouth the
Scene of a Brilliant Affair.

The band concert ard dance given by the
Eastern Battalion of the Naval Reserves
last night on the ship Portsmouth, lying
al Fourteenth street. Hcboken, was a
unique and brilliant affair. The three
divisions from Jersey City, Newark and
Hoboken were all well represented by
the sailors and their friends.
The ship was lighted from stem to stern
with electric lights and Chinese lanterns.
The dancing took place on the spar deck
TO the strains of Rosetti's military band
Of New York.
The Reserves all wore their natty white
duck uniforms. while the officers wore
dark blue fatigue uniforms.
The old ship Portsmouth, which has seen
SO many grim and bloody scenes, was a
pretty spectacle last night when crowded
by the uniformed Reserves and officers
and prettily eostumed women. The lights
cleaning from the highly polished guns
and brass work of the ship added to the
effect, while the banners and flags which
draped the sides and rigging gave a touch
of color. to the whole.
Refreshments were served on the berth
deck. Everything which might conduce
to the pleasure of the occasion had been
thoroughly and ably attended to b the
committees in charge.

Senator Smith turned tail on the stu
stion yesterday and ran away to Europe.
FEis conduct appears to us both cowardly
and treacherous, and the MY decent
atonement he can make is to cable from
Liverpool his resignation as Chairman Of
the Democratic State Committee,
Before going, Smith Brete a letter, in
tended for publication, in which, in a
spirit Of reckless aamagogism, ne in
aicts on the cause Of sound money the
deadl;est blow in his power.
Now either Smith believes in free silver
or he daes not.
If he dees. it would only be manly
in him to stay here and fight for it.
If he does not, if-he is an honest gold
standard Democrat. his conduct in run
ming lway from the fight to Europe is
dastar dly, and his writing that letter is
as bEa * an act Of ~treachery as was his
stealing the senatorship from Leon Alb
bett-
Tbs tvath probably is that Smith is
neither gold nor a silver man. but MY
a despieas,ie trimmer.
He vent ires to be prophetic as to Bully
Boy BrFan's chance of carry
ing NesF Jersey. He probably
knows ali much about the matter
as he da last November when he told
the state Committee that Essex was "all
right tn McGilI.'

In Our news columns will be found a
statement Of facts regarding an attempt-
ed "trip to Rayonne, last evening. which
should afford food fer reflection to Man
ager David Young of the Consolidated
Traction Company. There is a big prob
ability that, with decent accommodation,
the Bsyonne shorefront and a portion of
the Boulevard may become very popular
pleasure resorts. The time to develop
them is the hot weathar; the way to de-
yelop hem is to make access easy and
comfortable.
By his the Consolidated Trac-
toy Company might create an absolute.

But. assuredly, the experience narrat-
ed In the article on which we are COM

fered and those who hear the story will

remarkable stupidity shown by the SUI
p~erintendent, who went home without do
ing anything TO relieve the congestion.
One extra car run cut when the crowd
was densest would have been a boon to
the public. and probably would have pre-
vented any serious delay thereafter. If
the crowd was an unusual one, on ac-
count Of the swelsering heat. all the more
reason why some unusual step should
have been taken to accommodate travel
lers.
But the blame IS not ali with the Super
inteudent. It is partly with the system.
which takes off every second car at this
hour. The through cars were sharseful,y
overloaded. without reference TO the
transfers from the short trip ones. If
one car out Of three had been sent into
the stable. the others would stil have
been more than comfortably filed.
It wouid be trite to speak of this mat
ter as an outrage Upon the citizens. whose
franchise the company enjoys. practical
" gratis. But II is certainly food for
amazement that the management can re-
maia SO blind to its own + u interest as
to practice SUCH saort-sighted economy.

CAMPAIGNING IN THE soUDAN
Parliament Listened to Careful
Explanation.

London, March 16.-The greatest pos
sible care was manifested in the house
of commons today when the liberal
leader, Sir William Vernon Harcourt,
put the question to the government re-
garding the proposed advance of Brit
ish-Egyptian troops up the Nile from
Wady Halfa.
The reply of the under secretary Of
state of foreign artairs, George Curzon,
was long, carefully prepared state
ment, in which he pointed out the
threatening dervish advances and their
danger to Egypt, and intimated that the
movements Of Egyptian troops are part
ly from a desire to aid Italy in her strug-
gle with the Abyssinians. Curzon said
the government was sure all the sub
jects of her majesty would have the
most sincere sympathy for Italy. and
expressed regret at the defeat of General
Barratieri. This statement brought
forth loud nationalist cries of mo"
Curzon said the courage Of the Ital-
ians led to the hope that they would
rise from their reverses and vindicate
the honor of their flag "At the present
moment" he said influences are at
work. and forces are unclaimed in
Central Africa which, if flushed with
victory and swollen by perfectly posi-
bic combination of events, would consti-
tute the most serious danger, not mere
ly to Italy Egypt or British occupation
of Egypt, but to the cause of Europe,
which is the cause of civilization"
Throughout Curzon's speech the Irish
members interjected cries of "Oh,"
when T. M. Healy, among others, cried
NO. to the under secretary's express
sion of sympathy with Italy. Healy's
followers cheered, the speaker paused
an instant, and then continued, Sym
pathy which is not broken by a few
dissenting voices at the misfortune
which has befallen a nation of gallant
soldiers and staunch allies" More
cheering)
The motion of Henry Labouchere to
adjourn the house, in order to discuss
the Dongola question, was rejected 26S
to 1876
Venezuelan Dispute.
The under secretary of state for for
eign affairs, George ~ Curzon, in the
house of commons today admitted that
the government had received official pro-
posals from the United States relative
to the Venezuelan dispute, and they
were now under consideration. He add
ed that it was not the practice to state
the nature of the proposals while they
were under negotiations, but it was not
correct to describe them as stated in
the question put to the government as
an expression on the part of the United
States of willingness to accept or pro-
pose a scheme for joint commission
to report on the Venezuelan boundary
dispute.

Tally LIBERATED SOCIALIST
Ovation to Three Leaders Just From
Prison.

Rome, March 17.-When De Felice
BOsco and Barbato, socialist leaders,
reached the railroad station today af-
ter the release from prison under the
recent amnesty decree, they We're met
by about 5000 followers with flags and
music, all wild with enthusiasm. The
three leaders We're compelled to stand on
the seats Of a vehicle, bareheaded and
bowling several minutes before they
could he heard DeFelice thanked his
friends for the cordial welcome accord
ed his companions and himself, and
called for cheers for Dirundini. They
were given with a will. The socialists
made a rush for the carriage and took
the horses from the shafts and pulled
the vehicle in triumph through the prin-
cipal streets with waving flags on both
sides, one band behind and another in
front. The police were out in strong
force. One or two black flags were
seized, but the authorities acted in a
manner calculated to avoid giving
cause for an outbreak.
