CRAZY POLITICS.

Especial to The Jersey City News."l
TRENTON, June 1e, lSs7.-The Demo
cratic State Committee met promptly at
noon today in Room No. 100 Of the Tren-
ton House. Colonel E. Livingston Price
of Essex, Chairman of the committee.
presided. and every county in the State
was represented except Cape May, Bur-
lington. and Monmouth The only alb
sentees were E. F. c. Young of Hudson
and Rufus Blodgett of Monmouth.
The first session was comparatively
tame. 1t was devoted to selecting names
to be presented to the Governor to be
nominated for members of the County
Election Boards. Gold had no show what
ever and only those who are known as
silver men were selected. AS far as can
be learned there was no friction over the
list.
Colonel Price struck the keynote when
at the opening OF the session he said that
as far as he was concerned he would not
name anyone who refused to support the
silver ticket last fall. That seemed to be
the sentiment of all present. Michael J..
Coyle of Hoboken and Augustus w. Rich
of West Hoboken were renominated for
Hudson.
Monmouth and Burlington were passed
and will be taken UP again when the
committee reconyenes. Trouble rs ex-
pected over these two counties.
At two o'clock the committee adjourned
for lunch.

STOOD In the room today three were pres-
ent when the original treaty was signed
namely, Special Commissioner Lortn
Thurston and Assistant Secretaries Adaa

more sincere personal pleasure in the
ceremony of this morning than any of, ths
others because of the stirring events OF
the last four years in which he was 30
directly concerned
1t Is very unusual thing for a treaty

sired that the convention be made ready
early In order that it might be submitted

The document itself had been prepared
carefully overnight, in fact it was pfac-
ticaiiy completed at the close of the cffice

PRESIDENT wished another opportunity to
go over the document, probably with a
view to drawing up a message with
which 1t will be accompanied to the SEM

The treaty provides that the Govern.
ment of the Hawaiian islands ceda ia
the U. S. absolutely and forever all rights
of sovereignty in and over the Hawaiian
Islands and its dependencies and that
these islands shall become an integral

Financiers Have Received
Estimates From Various
Boards of Their
Necessities.
ALL GO THE LIMIT
But it Is Generally Understood
That There Will Be a
Vigorous PAIRING.

The Finance Commissioners meet this
evening. At recent session the Com
missioners requested the several branches
OF the city government to send in their
estimates of appropriations required for
the ensuing year. Several of the boards
have responded. There are yet to be
heard from the Police, Tax and Fire
Boards and the Board of Aldermen All
save the Aldermen will be in by this even
ing. The Aldermen will prepare their es-
innate next Monday evening.
As usual all the Boards go to the limit
In asking for money. At the suggestion
of Mayor Hoos the Finance Commission
ers propose tackling all the estimates
without gloves. An endeavor is to be
made to bring about a reduction of the
tax rate To accomplish it, notwithstand-
ing the increased revenue from the taxa
ton of railroad property, appropriations
are to be kept down to the narrowest mar
gin possible. 1t is probable that this
years appropriations will be less than
last year. Last year for instance the
Street and Water Board was allowed
$224520. The Board asked for $363.S
This year the Board wants $397620 as will
be shown in the estimate, made up and
approved at meeting of the Board this
morning and forwarded to the Board of
Finance.

The principal increase in the estimate
is in the amount asked for cleaning street
and removing ashes, which is 100000. Last
year only $4,000 was allowed. Another
item which enlarges the estimate is the
asking of $73,500 for the repair of sewers
in the streets set forth in the estimate.
For five years efforts have been made to
get money to repair these sewers which
are going to pieces rapidly, without avail.
This year provision may be made for the
repair of one or two of the sewers

grown by reason of the erection Of new
buildings, the employment Of additional
teachers and the likelihood of having to
engage more before the close of the fiscal
year.
