TEE BOYCOTT OFT.
Liquor Dealers Reseind Their
Action Against Mr..
Washburn.

The Hoboken Innkeepers' Protective
Association held special meeting yester-
day afternoon at their headquarters in
the rooms of the M. J. Coyle Association,
Newark and Washington streets. Presi-
dent Philipert was absent and Vice-Presi-
dent Coyle occupied the chair
Secretary Schlatter, who left the last
meeting of the association in disgust at
the action of a number Of the members
in regard to Sunday closing, made good
his threat of resigning the secretaryship,
and Max Borchardt was elected in his
place
The better element of the association
tried to demonstrate to Mr.. Schlatter the
necessity of his retaining the position,
but their endeayors were useless.
A resolution was passed striking out
from the minutes of the last meeting
everything pertaining to the boycott of
President Washburn of the Hudson
he is foreman of the present Grand Jury,
and several of the ignorant members of
the association thought it was through
him that the saloons were closed. AT yes
terday's session those members only voted
70 call of the boycott because they feared
Mr.. Washburn would make it worse for
the saloonkeepers if the boycott was con-
tinued.
Both Mr. Coyle and MIR. Schlatter made
strong speeches condemning the action
OF the members Of the, association who
ordered the boycott, and it was through
their efforts that it was called off
When any of the members were seen
this morning they were very reticent re-
garding what transpired at the meeting
reporters were barred out of the meeting
yesterday, and it is understood that they
will not be allowed to attend any meet
lngS in the future.

It has been stated that an effort was be-
ing made to elect John Kean chairman
of the delegation. The General says that

certain he would had the rumorS any
truth in them. General Sewell has been
the chairman of the Republican Conven-
turally would again like the honor. In
speaking of the organization Of the dele

Jersey. delegation not to organize until it
arrived at the place where the convention,
was to be held, and then the delegates
tees the members. believed to be the best
qualified for the positions The New Jer-
sey delegation is today a harmonious body,
and have no doubt will remain so.'' !
This in effect means that General Sewell
will be the chairman of the delegation.
Senator Smiths denunciation of the
Rivers and Harbors bin in the Senate yes
terday was an able effect. He objected 10
the bill, WHICH provided direct benefits tol
thirty-nine States, and indirect benefits
to four more States, the only ones not
being assisted by the bill being Utah and
Nevada. He objected in vain, however.
because the bill passed by vote of 81
for it and against it.
1t is said that President Cleveland will
veto the bill on the ground that the pro-
posed expenditure is excessive.

NO PRISON CARVED BASE.
Grants Statue VIII asest ON Pedestal
Carved by Frca Labor.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 1e, 1ss6.-The
managers of the Grant Monument Fund
have decided that the Golden Gate Park
statue of General Grant shall rest on a
pedestal of granite carved by freemen
The authentic intelligence published on
Wednesday to the effect that the pedestal
of the. monument had been quarried and
dressed by the convicts of Folsom State
Prison. created widespread comment and
evoked many expressions of regret that
the managers of the monument fund had
not employed the labor of free and honest
workingmen in the enterprise. The more
the subject was discussed the stronger
became the conviction that the prison
carved material should be rejected and
other granite substituted. Accordingly,
on Wednesday evening it was decided to
cast the prison stone aside and put in
other material. In pursuance of this de-
cison, orders were given at the park
yesterday to remove the objectionable
granite base from the site and to aban-
don work at Folsom on the stone coping
designed to surround the monument plot
This course on the part of the Monument
Association viii be commended.
