Witnesses for the prosecution
were allowed to tell all they knew,

To understand the phenomenal rise Of

down-trodden by the Turks for four hun

though. had it not been for the ''un-

population of the Morea would have been
exterminated beneath the merciless

less, lived behind the outward show of
slavish debasement q heart of sturdy
memories of ages, and seized eagerly on
every chance that might enable it to
stand before the. world In the attitude

FIGHTING FRAME STORES.
Lively Time Expected at Tomorrow
Nights Meeting Of the Alderman

A special meeting of the Board of AL
dermen has been called for tomorrow
night. Its object is to dispose of applf-
cations made by James Clark to erect a
one-story brick building on Newark ave-
nue. and of William Baron to erect one
story frame stores, perhaps a half dozen
in number. on the corner of Montgomery
and Grove streets. Baron's petition may
be granted, but there promises to be a
fight
Aldermen vermilye, Weiss and Scott
will oppose the application tooth and
nail on the ground that the erection Of
such class of buildings adjoining the
81, 000,0D City Hall property will not only
mar that property, but have damaging
effect upon all the property in the irnrne-
date neighborhood. Some weeks ago. an
ordinance was passed prohibiting the
raising of frame buildings within the
fire limits, but for some reason an ex-
ception is to be made in Baron's case
So positive was the petitioner, it ap-
pears, that he would get the desired privi-
lege that 1t is said he has rented all the
stores he proposes building.
Tomorrow night, when Baron's petition
is read, there will doubtless be on hand
to oppose its favorable consideration a;
good sized delegation of persons owning
property in the neighborhood which they
contend viii be deprecated by the build
ings he proposes erecting. It is not i'm
probable that the demonstrators will be
represented by counsel.

UNLOADING THE SAGINAW.

NEW YORK, March 70, 1897. The
steamer Saginaw, which went on the
sand-bar three miles north of Beach Ha-
ven, N. J.. about o'clock yesterday
morning, was still aground this forenoon,
and resting easily. The Chapman Mer-
ritt Wrecking Company was at work un-
loading her cargo, consisting of logwood
coffee and cotton, which, it is thought
VIII take a day or two. AS her nose is
deep in the sand, the most of the cargo
will have to be taken from her before
she can be f1oated
The Chapman Wrecking Company this
morning began the work of removin, the
cargo of molasses from the three -masted
schooner Wandrian, which grounded on

Reserve.
Specdal 10 the Jsrsey Cttu Ne.os.

lhENION, .March 70, 1897.-The fsf5lrdy'
Book" of Fish and Game Protector Shrin-
er, got lift in the Senate today The
Dill authorizing the Superintendent of
Public Instruction to purchase $500 copies
of the book, Birds of New Jersey by
Charles A. Shrlner, at a cost of 81, ,O00, to
be placed in the public schools, was ex-
planned by Senator Parry as not requiring
an appropriation without the approval of
the State Superintendent and the con-
sent of the Appropriation Committee.
Senator Skin,m doubted the wisdom of
encouraging private enterprises of this
kind, and Senator johnson, of Bergen,
also opposed the bill. Senator Voorhees,
jumped upon the bill. He said it was to
help certain man six feet two inches
tall (Shriner) who would, if the. bill pass
ed, badger the School Superintendent un-
til he could not very well avoid approv-
Ing the scheme. AS to the book 1t was
very inferior as compilation on the, sub
ject treated. Mr.. VOORHEES, said he could
produce a more readable and more valua-
Bile work and he wasn't an expert. A
number of the plates were wretched. The
State ought not to be saddled with the
expense of helping out every man who
could not make a living otherwise.
Senator Kuhl commended the book and
President Williams spoke in its favor The
blM went through by a bare majority
There was a hot fight which lasted into
the afternoon over the bill to dam the
Delaware River, in the Senate. Senator
Stokes supported it and said that the
measure had been amended to meet the
objections of those who fear that in its
original snaps it conveyed too much
power. It's provisions were now carefully
guarded and it was designed solely to
make possible the utilization of the water
power of the State for the promotion of
manufactures and other worthy enter
prises.
Senator Daily said he would like to see
the industries of Trenton promoted, as
the bill contemplated, but he considered
that the fishing industry would be en-
dangered. Thousands of dollars haA been
spent by the Government to help the
fisheries He also thought that too great
a franchise was to be given away for
nothing and he feared the pollution of
the river. He also read extracts from
+ P,hIliadeiphia papers denouncing similar
bill which is now in the Pennsylvania
Legislature, as both States must consent
before the dam can be built
The Committee on Militia gave the
promised hearing this morning on the
bill abolishing the Naval Reserve Lead
er Derousse told the committee that he
had introduced the bill because 1t was
his place to do so as chairman of the
Committee on Appropriations, and that
was all the interest he had in the matter
He also denied that he had introduced
the bill at the request of any disaffected
men in Camden or anywhere else, or that
the measure had anything whatever to
do with the QuarrelS in the Battalion of
the West.
Washington Irving, Commander of the
Battalion of the East, spoke next.
The hearing was interrupted by the
meeting of the House. It was resumed
