THE APPROPRIATION INADEQUATE
General STRIKERS Views of Jerseys
Proposed INAUGURAL Display.

TRENTON, Jar. 20, 1sS.-Adjutant
General w. s. Stryker said yesterday that
the $4,000 proposed in the Fighter joint
resolution now before the Legislature
was not half enough to defray the ex-
penses of q provisional battalion of the
National Guard at the Inauguration. In
stead of paying he necessary expense
of twelve companies and two troops, this
amount could not possibly pay mare than
the expense of five companies, he said.
The General estimated the amount need
ed at about s26, 1000. He thought that
the State should be represented well, if
at all. He considered two bodies of
troops CHS men) would be the best for
a spectacular display If no more money
was appropriated. General Stryker does
not believe the resolution will pass.
From the numerous queries put to Cen
eral Stryker he believes h a the ma
jority of New Jerseys citizens enter
ain q -misconception Of the inaugural
parade: Mary think the Vice President
will ride in the parade, whereas Mr.. Ho-
bart will merely follow the precedent
established many years ago and remain
at the Capitol. Should New Jersey send
a military delegation to Washington it
will not in any sense be an escort to the
Vice President.

TIE New Je .sey EoSling Club increas-
ed its record in the Amateur Bowling
Association last night by a well deserved
victory over the Oritani Field Club Of
Hackensack, on the New Jersey Bowling
Club alleys. The home team acquitted
itself creditably and have every reason
to feel elated over the skilled work done.
1t was one of the highest ten-men team
scores made in this city this season, and
the second highest III the League. The
Oritanis are considered wonderfully
strong, there is no telling what they
are capable of, and the New Jerseys pre-
ferred to give them no show. The team
got to work at the start of the match
and filed in a bunch of credits which
quickly put them on easy street, and af-
ter the third frame the home bowlers felt
no concern for the victory, as it was
then well within theft grasp. The ORR
tanis were a disappointment. The New
Jerseys preferred a close struggle, which
would have a it an object for each
man to bowl. They rolled their best just
the same. however, and ratified up the
credits until the strings multiplied rap
idly into a lead Of more than two hum
dred pins. which was somewhere near
the margin at the close. The work of
the New Jerseys was nothing short of
being phenomenal, and they only lacked
one pin OF a $50 average for the ten men.
Postmaster Jordan was the only excep-
ton to the regular average. His total
fell to 142. Fowler, Faber and Lembeck
rolled over 200, and Lawrence and Tasch
were in the 100 block. The Oritanis were
taken by surprise, not having had any
idea of scores as large as those shown
by the home team. The latter were the
first to beat Oritani at Hackensack, and
they completed their schedule with two
straight. After the match the Hacken-
sack bowlers were entertained at the
clubhouse. The score

ALLIED PRINTING TRADES
Federation Delegates Held Their
Fret Session Here Yesterday.
.,5sccsdt to- INC Jsrseu C4tu Reaue.

TRENTON, Jan: 20, 1S97.-Delegates to
the Federation of Allied Printing Trades
assembled In Trenton from nearly every
large city I'M The State yesterday. Their
fourth annual convention was held in the
hall OF Trenton Typographical Union, and
will be continued during today. 1t is
a representative body of printers, and
thier deliberations were characterized by
conservatism on many questions of in
terest to the craft.
The Committee on Resolutions, to
whom was referred all suggestions re-
garding the Internal operations of print
ing Offices in the various cities Of the
State, as well as those bearing on mat
tiers of State legislation, reported several
propositions OF interest to the printers,
which stirred up lively discussions during
the day.
The question of the establishment Of a
State printing office meets with compare
lively small support from the delegates,
SO far as canvassed, and the movement
looking to the re-enactment of the law
for printing the State laws in the news
papers. which is a matter of much i'm
p%ortance to printers. created an animated
discussion at the afternoon session.
Many delegates, however. believe that
the Well-settled policy of the present
State administration on matters of re-
trenehment will be an effective bar to
legislation re-tsstablishing the old method
Of giving the laws to the newspapers
notwithstanding this, they think that
probably some measures will be taken in
the Legislature giving to certain leading
newspapers the printing of the laws. in
order hat the public may be promptly
informed Of legislative action in advance
OF the appearance of the pamphlet laws.
The printers insist that If such a bill is
presented there shall be a proviso tina
all the work pc lone in the Office of the
newspaper having the privilege, and not
be printed from duplicated plates or pur-
chased supplements, as was the custom
OF many publishers under the old law.
The session of the Federation conven-
ton are closed to the public, only prac-
teal printers and regular delegates being
admitted.

good recordJ and the teams that visit
their alleys looking for a cinch in flu

are bowling splendidly and are prepared

Chancery Court Holds 1t Must Change
Coupon to Registered bonds.
CDecidg to fbe .Ter2e,, CXfsy Npare

-fN StL8 4fCtos
TRENTON, Jan. 29, 1Se7.-An opinion
was filed yesterday in favor of the COM
plainants in the suit of George A. BEN
well and John D. Everitt against the
Mayor n Council of Newark. The
compliments purchased 100 Newark
bonds known as Funded debt improve
ment bonds,'' and valued at 81, 600 each.
These bonds were issued in March, 1893,
and are coupon bonds. The suit was
brought to have them exchanged to reg
ularly registered bonds. The complainant
contended that the agreement printed on
the face of the bonds permitted such a
transfer, and the only apparent object
for the exchange was that the complain
ants desired to be relieved of the respon-
sibilfty and trouble of delivering coupons
in order to obtain interest. The city Off
Gals declined to make the exchange on
the ground that 1t would impose too
much work on the commissioners of the
sinking FUND, separate checks being nee
essary for the interest on each registered
bond.
Vice Chancellor Pitney holds that the
anguage In the n was devised and
placed there by the city officials, and that
the complainants are justified in believ-
ing that they have 4 right to make
the exchange they desire. 81 think this
Tor. afor the application of the maxim
The words tf an instrument shall be
taken most strongly against the party
employing them The; Vice Chancellor
is of the opinion that the relations be-
tween the parties is purely c~onstructura
and hat the defendant is an ordinary
debtor, owing money by contract and
having the same standing as a trade cor
poration.
AT the beginning of the case the Vice
Chancellor had doubts as to whether the
Court of Chancery was the proper court
in which relief should be sought. After
hearing the testimony he decides that it
and thai an action at law for damages
for non-performance of contract would
not be the proper remedy. He according
ly advises a decree for the plaintiffs.
