The annual migration of cells from the
sea up the river is now in progress in the
Connecticut River, the advance school of
the fish, an immense one, showing off
Colts Dock Sunday morning, and since
the beginning the river has been fire.
quently fairly alive with cells squirming
their way along, making for the shadows
where they can find muddy bottom and
good feeding. The advent of the schools
of cells was not noted in a Middleton dis
patch to 1.-THE Courant" on Thursday.
Since that time the cells have been seen
all along the river and particularly off
this city. A spectator who was watch
ing the high water while sitting on Colts
Dock early Sunday morning discovered
a great disturbance on the surface of the
water close under the wall. This was
made by an immense school of cells, from
three to five inches long, making their
way into the shallow water. For an hour
the school continued~to pass by. There
seemed to be no let-up at that time, and
the eels continued to pass along by thou
sands.
This Is the usual summer migration of
eels which takes place from salt to fresh
water in warm months, the cells returning
to salt water in cold weather. That they
have not been uniformly seen in their
progress up stream is because at low
water they swim up under water, picking
out the shallow places, where the cur
rent is not strong.
migration happened to be simultaneous
with high water, and when cells swim in
deep water they rise to the surface, where
they can NOSE easily combat the current.
This they are able to do because of the
unusually large air bladder with which
each eel is provided. Tho eel is bound
to make his summer feeding ground on
time, and nature has provided him with
means to overcome the unusual obstacle

STATE SUPERVISION.
Revelations Likely 20 Result In
striexer Loan Association Kutes.

Especial to The Jersey CITY News.
TRENTON, Aug. 81. 1897.-A closer State
supervision of building and loan associa-
ions is likely to be one of the outcomes
of the recent revelation of a deficiency of
$50, 900 in the accounts of the Mercer and
Mechanics Mutual Loan Associations.
The building and loan association has
grown to be an important factor in home
building in New Jersey and In its settle
ment and development. The $50 associa-
ions in this State hold investments run
ming up into the tens of millions, and a
third of all the new homes on Jersey soil
within the last fifteen years have been
built with the moneys derived from this
source.
Some years ago, when associations OF
his class began to multiply M the
magnitude of their investments began
to attract public attention, the propriety
of placing them under State supervision
was mooted. They had taken on the as
pect of great popular savings banks. and
the apparent necessity of having their
managers accountable to some one, as
the managers of all other savings insti-
tutions are, led to talk of legislation in
that direction. Oddly enough. those who
were most deeply interested in them re-
scented the suggestion that they could not
attend to their own affairs, and the in
reference thai there was any possibility
of loss or defalcation that could justify
the State supervisorship stirred the whole
community of building and loan people
to the centre.
The Legislature concluded, however.
that it was an institution which the
State might well take under its wing, ana
a series of statutes requiring the directors
of the various Institutions to make an
nual reports to State officers was passed.
1t was supposed at the time that the
effect of these acts would be to make the
associations amenable to the same espion-
age as that to which other classes of
banking and trust Institutions were SUBJ
jected. But it now transpires that the
Labor Bureau, to which these reports
were to be sent, has placed the narrowest
possible construction upon the regulating
statutes.
1t has taken the view hat the reports
are required only for statistical use, and
that even when there is reason to believe
the information contained in the returns
to be u~ntruthful, the bureau has no power
to set a correcting investigation on foot.

MAYOR PAGAN WANTS TO KNOW
Delay in Awarding Asphalt Com
tracts Sttrs Up n Mayor.

Mayor Pagan of Hoboken is determined
that the asphalt contracts for paving the
streets of that city shall be awarded at
once. For some reason which Is not
clear to the Mayor the members of the
Common Council have. failed to award the
contract, although the bids have been re-
ceived.
With this object in view, Mayor Pagan
called a special meeting of the Committee
on Streets which was held last night.
Councilmen Weinthal, Bewig, S~teuerwald
and Snyder were present. The Council
men said that the contracts for Garden
and Hudson streets had been awarded
and that was enough to keep the COM
panies busy before the cold weather set
in. 1t was finally decided to hold another
meeting tomorrow afternoon and invite
President Charles I. Williams of the
Utica Paving Co., the lowest bidder for
the balance Of the work, to be present.
To a News" reporter Mayor Pagan
said:-"I want this asphalt matter cleared
up. If the work can be completed be-
fore the cold weather sets in the con-
tract should be awarded. Bids are all
in, and asI understand, the one of the
Utica ID is low. If such is the
case and the work can be completed be-
fore We nave frost there is no reason for
further delay in awarding the contracts"

WORK OF CABINET OFFICERS
A ain That There Is Little Actual

While the, President is away several at
tempts have been made by the newspaper
correspondents to rearrange his Cabinet
for him. These gentlemen seem to be es-
pecially anxious that Secretary Sherman
should consider himself too sick to fur
ther serve as the head of the Department
of State. The Secretary, before leaving, as
sured a Senatorial friend that while his
health was not the best, 1t in no way in
terfered with his official duties. In fact,
he asserted, he had so few duties to per-
form that for the first time in his life,
since he began holding office, he found
himself occupying a position having the
appearance of being a sinecure.
1t was only after mature Elaboration
that he accepted the Secretaryship, be-
cause of a feeling he had that the labor
of the Office would be too onerous for a
man of his advanced age. After he took
it he found that his ideas of the duties
were altogether erroneous. According to
his story, he has little to do other than
it is wholly optional with him whether or
not he shall do the latter. AS nine-tenths
of the visitors are seeking Office, they
are turned over TO the f1rSC Assistant
Secretary without being allowed to see
the Secretary.
The office is a perfect piece of machin-
cry, with some one to attend to every
detail, from acting as messenger up to
preparing papers of the highest diplo-
matte character. 1t is only in extreme
cases thai the Secretary is called upon
to have a State Department paper evolve
from his own brain, With the exception
of the Treasury Department and prob
ably the Post Office, all the Cabinet posi-
tons are more or less of a similar char
acter.
Benjamin Harris Brewster on one occa-
sion told me that as Acknowledgement he
never wrote but n opinion, and that
was for the private use of the entire Cab
met. The Solicitor-General and a large
staff of Assistant Acknowledgements had
to do that kind of work. When you hear
of a Cabinet officer being overworked, you
can set it down as being a fake. Each
department has a great deal of work to
do, but the head of the same is not the
fellow who performs the labor. Secretary
Sherman is frank to say that he never
had so soft a berth as is the office he is
now holding. He had 40 idea that it was
so easy. A Senatorship is a treadmill in

All who Heard Isis Pathetic Farce
well te the Senate Moved to Tears.
John r. Coyle writes of Henry Clay's
farewell to the Senate In the September
Ladies' Home Journal" regarding it as
the most dramatic event ever witnessed
in the United States Senate. Almost
from the opening words of the famous
yaledictory the vast assemblage of peo-
pie were in tears, and the Great Com
moner" was frequently interrupted by
the sobs of his auditors. 1.-THE scene was
indeed impressive as Mr.. Clay %pronounc-
ed the concluding words OF his farewell
to public life," a Mr.. Coyle. He
stood for a moment after in reverential
attitude, while all about him strong men
swayed by the magnetic power of the
great orator, wept in silence. The hush
ed suspense of intense feeling and atten-
ton pervaded the crowded assemblage as
the famous statesman, with lowering
eyes, resumed his seat. For several mo-
ments the silence was unbroken; fSena-
tors sat as if in the shadow of some
impending calamity; men of all parties
seemed equally overcome by the pathos
and majesty of the great .statesman's
farewell.
LAS Mr.. Clay rose to leave the chamber
after adjournment, which directly follow
ed his address, and after he had said
farewell to all the other Senators, he
encountered Mr.. Calhoun. The eyes of
the whole assembiage were fixed on these
two old friends and old political antago-
nists. There was a pause in the demon
stration which awaited Mr.. Clay-the
moment of suspended anticipation was
almost painful. For five years they had
beer estranged, and the only words which
had passed between them had been those
harshly spoken in debate. But now, as
they met, the old time came over them.
They remembered only the political COM
panionship of twenty years standing. The
intervening differences which had chilled
their hearts toward each other were for
gotten. The tears sprang to their eyes.
They shook each other cordially by the
hand, interchanged a God bless you and
parted. The released suspense which
awaited this fearful scene found vent in
shouts and cheers, which were taken up
by the crowds outside the Senate Cham
Der, expecting Mr.. Clay's appearance. He
was surrounded by the waiting thousands
on his way to his carriage and throngs
followed him even to his hotel"
