There is aboard his exccllency Chang,

suite of gorgeouSly y-attired Chinese, who
look with horror on the attempt to put

only has the Dominion foTemment been

Chang says lac will go back to China with
out proceeding to London, though in that
c e he is likely TO lose his head for dis
obedience of orders from the Emperor.
He says, furthermore, that if a hand is laid
on him it means trouble between Great
Britain and China, as the person of an
ambassador is sacred. The officials have

A VOTE OF CENSURE.

Escaped From One.

Escaped From One.
Cape Town, May 1-Mr. MerTiman, the
anti-RhOdes leader in the Cape Parliament,
moved a resolution demanding q vote OF
censure ON the Cape ministry, in conse-
quence OF it's warlike attitude toward
the Transvaal He likened the ministry to
a ship heading for the breakers with a
lunatic pilot in charge of her.
Sir James Siveright, commissioner OF
public works, in replying to Mr.. Merriman,
said that he was constantine or peace,
and that he wohld resign his office when
the first shot was fired. The governments
policy was peaceable, but it would main
tain British supremacy in South Africa.
Other speakers, especially the Dutch mern-
beIs, vehemently attacked Mr.. Rhodes,
who was present. Some of them advised
him to go and live among the Kaffirs,
and declared that the government was his
tool.
The vote on the resolution resulted in a
tie, hut the speaker cast his vote in favor
Of the government, which defeated the
resolution.

National Monday, May 10, is dramatiza-
tiOn from a late popular novel Of pro-
vincial life in the Sunny South by Opie

in the South better than Opie Read, of
that shft!ess, irresponsible, happy-go-
lucky stuff of which the Kentucky colonel
was made. Mr.. Daniel Hart, the dramatist,
is said to have well fitted Mr.. Robson in
the character of Lem Juckliu, a North
Carolina farmer with a penchant for cock
fighting. The character is unlike anything

the public, and is said to have made one
of the most pronounced successes of his
career.

Faust GOunods master creation that

works familiar to the civilized world, will
be presented at the Lafayette Square
Opera House next week by the Castle
Square Opera Company, and in a manner
that will give our opera-going people
a proper conception of the work as it should
be rendered. II you eliminate the super
natural from Faust, you destroy GOunod's
foundation for the creation Of it. But
when you surround the beautiful music ard
fine dramatic action with the necessary
spectacular and electrical effects, you
have picture and production of entranCing
beauty. The opera has never been len

Just Nine Democratic Aldermen
Chosen---The Board

FAGAN MAYOR OF HoBoKEN
SEYMOUR CARRIES BAY0NNE
The Great Popular Sweep Covers
All Hudson County With
Tremendous NajorIties.

The glare of red fire and the loud ex-
plosion of bombs about eleven o'clock last
night notified the citizens of Jersey City
that they had won a glorious victory
1t showed them that they had
won, notwithstanding the criminal
Misrepresentation of facts, the mas
querading in borrowed laurels, and
the perversion of official records
in which the Republican orators indulged
and the malicious lies and slanderous IL
bels of the Evening Journal" a victory
for which they have reason to feel proud
Mayor and William F. Midlige President
of the Board of Aldermen, but they had
made Anthony Hauck and James S. No
Ian members of the Street and Water
Board, and elected strong majority of
the Board of Aldermen, and redeemed
the most important branches of the City
Government. 1t was a famous victory.
No wonder the Democrats took off their
hats and shouted until they were hoarse
and exploded fireworks until they were
as powder begrimmed as though they
had been in battle. Alderman Moran
was exceedingly exuberant, and was the
first to set the pyrotechnics blazing.
There were great times in the Davis AS
sociation rooms. Returns were received
there and read by DAN Smith AS the
evening passed and the Democratic vic
tory grew larger and the victory more
sure. the men gave vent to their feelings
in cheers and yells.
Across the park, in the Union League
Club House, the scene was different. All
the leading lights of the Republican par
ty, including Candidate Potts, gathered
there to hear the returns. AS they came
in the spectators lost interest in them.
1t appeared to be a general Democratic
victory all along the line. In Hoboken
Mayor Lawrence Pagan swept every-
thing before him, and received 900 more
votes than was cast for all the other
candidates combined. In Bayonne Mayor
Seymour was reelected by a handsome
majority, and the Democrats elected four
out of five Councilmen.

Miss Gertrude Auld- Thomas sang Myer-

in heg usual delightful manner receiving
a perfect storm OF applause. Raff's Piano
Concerto in G, played by Hugo Mansfeldt,
was well received. Suite LES Erinneys,"

mands Half OF Her Contract Hus-
bands S75O,OOO Estate.
Mrs. Nancy Abbott Quacken bush, by
her attorneys. Rodgers & Paterson, has
flied a contest to the probate of the will OF
Thomas NJ. Quacken bush, deceased. The
estate involve is worth $3.50. 900.
Mrs. Quackenbush bases her contest for
half of the property on the ground that
she is the surviving widow of the deced-
ent, and declares that when he signed
paper purporting to devise his estate to
his daughter, Mrs Esther E. Sworthguer,
he was not of sound and disposing mind,
and was not mentally competent 10 exe-
cute Il valid Will.
ALE .ation is further made that at the
time OF the alleged execution OF the VIII
the deceased was under the influence OF
Mrs. Swortfiguer, who is named as execu-
trix and principal devisee; that he was
coerced bv her. and by threats. menace
and fraud, compelled to sign the said al
legged will.
Some time ago Mrs. Quacken bush sued
the late Mr.. Quackenbush for $500 o
month as permanent support, claiming to
be his wife by virtue of a contract mar
riage.
Several experts in handwriting exam
ined the contract presented by Mrs.
Quackenb bush and declared that it was a
fabricated paper, testifying that the sig
nature was genuine. but that the original
writing was an order for goods, and that
after such writing had been erased Mrs.
Quackenbush had written in what pur-
ported to be marriage contract.
Alter hearing all the testimony Judge
SeaweIl held that the experts were mis-
taken; that the signature of Quackenbush
was genuine and that he knew what he
was signing, but that Mrs. Quacken bush
had no legal standing as wife, for the
reason that there had been no assum ption
oil marital rights and duties of the parties,
as required by the law OF California.
Through the new suit the entire matter
will be gone over again in Judge Slack's
court. In the meantime preparations are
being made by Mrs. Quackenbush's law
yers to appeal TO the Supreme Court
against Judge Seaweli's decision in re-
gard to the marriage contract.

On the 28th OF Decem bef the body of
Lo How was found hanging by cord to
a raiter in small vacant stable in the
rear OF 1876 Stockton street near the build

believed that How had committed suicide,
huJ upon the body being examined at the
Morgue large bullet hole was found back

house in front of the stable. During the
trouble How was murdered and his body
thrown into the back yard and then sus-
pended to the rafter.
The dead mans bedding and effects
