MYSTERIOUS NEPTUNE.
Perth Amboy Ship Builder Has
Orders TO Repair Her.


PERTH AMBOY. Jan. 1S, 1SsS-Ship-
builder Hugh Ramsey Of this place is
preparing to overhaul the fat-nosed
steamer Neptune, which is now at his
yards at Perth Amboy.
Mr.. Ramsey received the order to re-
pair her from w. w. Hurlburt & Co.,
of New York, who are supposed to be
the agents of the vessel.
Mr.. Ramsey says he does not know
who the owner is, but the general inn
preston is that the vessel belongs to
the Cuban Revolutionary party.
It is said that she is to be the flag
ship of flying squadron which is to
go to Cuban waters to oppose the Span
ish warships.
The Neptune was lying off Hoboken
for some time, and there was consider
able mystery concerning her. 1t is said
that the Cubans have several other ves-
sells nearby and that as soon as the re-
pairs OF the Neptune are completed she
will sail for Cuba
The agents of the Spanish government
are Keeping a sharp watch on the steam
er and there are also several private
detectives in and around the shipyards
II she should attempt to go away sud
denly, she. will be followed and an at
tempt might be made to seize her
1t IS believed that the repairs, the ma
ture of which Shipbuilder Ramsey re-
fuses to disclose, will fit the Neptune for
a blockade runner.

NICARAGUA CANAL.
Evidence Th,'t the Great water,

Evidence Ths,t the Great waterway
May. BE Constructed by Uncle sam.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 13, 18S6.-An evi-
dence that the report of the Nicaragua
Canal Commission. now in the hands Of
President, Cleveland, does not conclu-
sively find the proposed inter-oceanic
American waterway infeasible or its con-
struction by the United States impos-
sible is shown in the fact that Major
William Ludlow. Chairman of the Com
mission, is about to leave London, where
he Is the military attache of the Ameri-
can Embassy on q tour of ship canal in
spection TO familiarize himself with the
great artificial waterways, the physical
difficulties which have been surrnounted
IN constructing them and the economic
changes that they have wrought in ma
rine transportation.
After studying the Suez waterway in
Egypt, Major Ludlow is to visit the
Gorinth Canal in Greece, the famous
Kiel out in Germany, the North Holland
and Amsterdam artificial ports, and after
returning to England, the Manchester
ship canal and the Caledonian system of
interior navigation. In addition to an
examination of the engineering features
of these works and their adaptation to
the problems to be solved in constructing
a canal across the American isthmus,
Major Ludlow is expected to secure new
data upon the likelihood of either the
Nicaragua or Panama canals becoming
paying investments.

BOARD OF PARpcNS BLUNDER.
Murdarous Burglar Given His Life.
But Kohi Must HANG

For nearly three slours this afternoon
the Board of Pardons met in the Law
Library considering two cases. The first
was the application for clemency in the
case of Henry Kohl of Newark, the MUIR
derer of Joseph Preinel. At the last
session Judge Thomas Henry and Law
yer Frank McDermott pleaded that the
sentence of death to be carried out this
month should be commuted to imprison-
ment for life.
The second case was that of Alfred
Clyner Of Burlington county, who stab
bed and killed Bridget Doyle a year ago.
1t was rather singular that in the applf-
cation for clemency for Clymer was the
former form. Prosecutor of the county, Thos.
Hendrickson. When the appeal was
made last week the Board Of Pardons
unanimously refused to interfere. and an
parently Clymer's doom was sealed. But
Mr.. Hendrickson pleaded today for a
reconsideration of the decision.
Counsel contended that the stabbins
was purely accidental. slymer was
caught burglarizing Mrs. Doyle's house
her.
At three o'clock the Board announced
It's decision. 1t commuted Clymer,s sem
tence to Imprisonment for life, but re-
fused to interfere with Henry Kohrs
sentence.

warrant IN the latter case

CONGRESS is POOR.
No Money for the Palisades Military
Park.

The Commissioners appointed by Gov
ernors Morton and Werts to suggest a
plan to protect the Palisades, having
drafted bill which was presented to
Congress a few days ago, and copy of
which exclusively appeared in THE
Jersey City News at the time, met at
the Essex Club in Newark, on Saturday,
was the purpose of comforting with Con-
gressman R. Wayne Parker of the Mill
tary Committee Of the House, to whom
the bill was referred
The object of the meeting was to urge
Mr.. Parker to induce the committee to
recommend the bill, which provides for
a military park. Mr.. Parker, however,
gave the Commissioners very little en-
couragement and told them that appro-
priations were being cut down in every
department, and the 100000 asked for
to. establish park was at present, he
believed, out of the question
Mr.. Parker, while in favor of protect
ing the Palisades, thought New Jersey
ought to consider deeply before giving
away her riparian rights for the forma-
tion of the park. That legal aspect of
the case he proposed to lock up. There
vas no hurry, he thought, and if the
Commissioners would, like Brer Rabbit
lie low. probably something could be
done in the matter
