Regular Work of the Committee II
he Opened AT the Hotel WASH
ington Tomorrow.

At last the long-looked for Gledhill In
vestigating Company has arrived in Jer-
sey City with a case of probes to insert
into somebody connected with the ad-
ministration of the Prosecutors and
Sheriff's offices of Hudson county. The
members began to arrive at twelve o'clock
and as soon as they came into the cor
ridor of the Hotel Washington, where 1T
quarters, they disappeared rapidly into a
small room, where Associated Counsel
William NJ Klink lay in wait for them.
All the members were present: Messrs.
Henry Nelson Gledhill of Passaic, Will
liam ]. Bradley of Camden, George A.
Squire of Union, and David Ogden Wat
kins of Gloucester. Mr.. Kinks associate.
Robert McCarter of Newark, was not on
hand when the committee arrived
While they were closeted in the little
back room Sergeant at Arms Jack
Graham was arranging the room oppo-
site for the Investigation. One big table
stood at the left of the entrance; that
was for the committee. At the other end
was the table for the newspaper men, A
few people whose business was a mystery
to everybody occupied seats on either side
of the room or lounged in the corridors
and talked in whispers. All eyes were
Where, enthroned in awful state,
The Gledhill Committee sate.''
Suddenly that door opened and there
was a buzz Of excitement among the oc-
cupants Of the big room as Mr.. William
Klink came out of the room.
Gentlemen he said, 1--WE are going to
have bite to eat and discuss our plans.
Then we will go to the Court House and
have a consultation there. After that I
cannot say what we will do
Then the committee came out and, like
ordinary mortals, mixed with the people
outside Assemblyman Gledhill, chairman
of the committee pleasantly chatted with
, everybody, and in a frank and extremely
polite manner said to 1.-THE News rep
resentatiye:-
AT present we cannot tell you much
about our plans, because we have not
definitely formed them yet. There is so
much to discuss, SO much to do, that I
am not in position to say anything,
and, of course, nothing for my colleagues.
Soon we hope to give you some informa-
ton, and until then you will, I know,
hold us excused
An inviting lunch was then served, and
when that was over each man stuck
cigar in his mouth and the party boarded
a car for the Court House.
The committee reached the Court House
at 2:15 and was shown at once into the
Prosecutors private Office. There We're
present. besides the committee, Prosecu-
tor Irwin, assistant COUNCIL to the COM
nittee, William NJ Klink, and Editor

MAGISTRATES TO WORK ROADS
Attorney General Contends That His
Decision Is Correct.

Attorney General Contends That His
Decision Is Correct.
There are about $4,000 magistrates ir
North Carolina-practically all the Pop
ulists and Republicans who don't hold
some other office-and a few of the
negroes.
This small army has long considered
itself free from road duty, by virtue OF
their office. But Attorney Genera
Walser has taken a different view OF
the matter, and decided that they must
work the roads just like other people do.
He recently rendered a decision TO this
effect 1t was printed in all the papers
of the State, and immediately it raised
q row.
Writing to the News and Observer of
yesterday concerning this decision, Mr..
+. G.. Goodman, of Eel Paso. points
out that justices OF the peace are also
supervisors of public roads, and says:
by rference to the Code it will be
found that section 2,017 also exempts
the supervisors from work on public
reads, and that section has never been
repealed, and the exempting clause has
never been modified by subsequent leg
islation.'
Replying to this criticism the Attor-
ney General yesterday said it is true
that section 2,014 gives the justices of
the peace in each township control of
its public roads, and constitutes them a
board Of road supervisors; also that sec,
ton 2,017 exempts members Of this
board of supervisors from working the
roads.and section 2,O59 exempts justices
of the peace. In other words justices
OF the peace are twice exempt from
road duty-once as justices and once as
road supervisors.
but the number of justices began 10
he increased so rapidly" said Mr.. Wal
ser, that the exemptions left so few to
work the roads that the Legislature UNI
dertook, by chapter 93, laws of 1887. to
again make justices of the peace liable
to road duty. This chapter, in SO many
words, repeats section 2,059 of the Code,
and in effect repcals also 2,011. This
latter section should properly have also
been repealed in so many words, but
the fact that it was not does not alter
the effect of the repeal of 2,O59. 1t was
the intention of the Legislature to take
away from justices of the peace the ex-
,nption from road duty that they have
been enjoying, and shall hold that
they have done SO until the Supreme
Court oyerrules me-"

WIIAT HIS DELAY MEANS.

Those who abuse the President for
the dilatory tactics to which he is re-
sorting in the trouble with Spain should
remember that a few days delay may
mean a great deal to the United States.

hand supply Of smokeless powder. 1t

The representative here received mes
sage to-day from the New York Worio
requesting him to interview representa-
tive people in this Congressional dis
trict and ask them to state why they
believe the President should act at once
and stop Spanish misrule in Cuba anu
why he should also demand instant sa'
isfaction for the destruction OF 'hc
Maine. The following reply was sent
that paper tonight: while. there are
Il few people in this district against "ai

great majority think the Ireslden'
should act at once in stopping spanish
misrule and giving Cuba her freedom
because every day that he delays gives

The belief is also general that SPAN Is
responsible for the destruction OF the
Maine and that the President should de
mand instant satisfaction regardless CT
the views of Wall Street. While these
are the sentiments of those your cor
respondent talked with, not one was
willing TO allow his name appear in
print. Republican officeholders say the
President understands the situation bet

Work of Clearing Up the Debris Being
 Rapidly Carried Forward.

clearing the capitol of the wreckage of Sundays fire is being carried forward rap idly by a large forcerof workmen. The heavy stone arch under the file room of the United States supreme court has been settling steadily for the last two days, and it was decided today to tear 1t out and rebuild this section of the masonry It is a difficult operation, however, as the room above is loaded with the valuable old records and files of the supreme court, which may be dumped in inextricable con fusion if the sustaining arch is removed. Boat hooks will be used tomorrow to draw the files from the room, as it is considered dangerous to enter the room, and the re- building of the arch will then proceed Assistant Architect Wood has made careful examination, confirming his nrst view that the main foundations of the cap itol are uninjured.
