WEEHAWKEN DEADLOCK.
Certiorari Proceedings Over the Ap-
pointment of Morris Frost.

Arguments were heard before Justice
Lippincott today in the matter of the
Weehawken Council deadlock. Counsellor
James A. Gordon has been retained by the
anti-Kelly faction, which wants to see
Morris Frost occupy the place of James
Davis, resigned.
Frost was appointed by the Council, but
the Kelly faction claims that the action
was Illegal, as it was taken at an irregu-
lar meeting of the Board. Two weeks
ago rule to show cause why the Coun-
cips action should not be certioraried was
granted by the court acting as a stay.
Frost's adiherents now apply for an order
vacating the rule, so as to seat Frost in
the Council.
Judge Abel T. Smith opposed the applica-
ton and insisted that Frost's election
could not stand. as it was simply made at
a caucus meeting at which only two
-Geuneilmen were present. He MAIN
tained that there was no legal authority
for the meeting at which Frost was
elected.
Counsellor Gordon differed with the
Judge and long legal tilt ensued.
Justice Lippincott reserved decision.

GENERAL PLUME TO COMMAND.
Likely to Be Placed at the Head of
New Jerseys Volunteers.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May g. 1885,
Major General Joseph w. Plume, of the
New Jersey National Guard and COM
planding the forces at Sea Girt, will soon
be nominated for Brigadier General of
the new volunteer army. He is strongly
recommended by Governor Voorhees, and
Senator Sewell, now Major General. Gem
eral Plume during the late war was as
sistant Adjutant General on the staff Of
General French, of the Army of the Poto-
mac. The appointment will give general
satisfaction in New Jersey.
J Vice President Hobart, it is known
thinks that Senator Sewell canot hold a
Major Generalship in the army and
United States Senatorship at the same
time, but he believes that the Senator
will on consideration tender his resigna-
tion of the military rank. General Sswell
called on the President yesterday to tisank
him for the compliment contained in the
appointment yesterday. The Senator
says that ne will merely have to get leave
of absence until the next session of Con-
gress, as he believes that the war will be
of short duration.

GEN. SEWELL'S DILEMMA.
Doubts Whether He Can Be
Both Senator and Major

WASHINGTON, May s. 1885,. The nomi-
nation OF Senator SeweIl of New Jersey to
bs Major General of Volunteers to-
by the President. has been confirmed by
the Senate. General Sewell will accept
and he will at once arrange his affairs so
that he can take Immediate command of
the forces that viii be under him. These
details have not been perfected yet and
will not be until the General has had one
or more conferences with the War De-
partment and General Miles, and prob
ably also with the President.
General Sewell said today that he had
no intention of resigning as a United
States Senator He viii ask the Vice Pres
ident for leave of absence, and it will
be granted him. Some doubt has been
suggested as to the right of General Sew
ell to FIJI the position of United States
Senator and Major General at the same
time. The law respecting the subject spe-
officially says that no person shall draw
pay from two offices under the United
States Government
Some able constitutional lawyers say
that Senator Sewell will have to resign
from the Senate Others equally prom
fnent say that If the Senator obtains
leave of absence without salary he may
go to the war, and when it is over return
and resume his seat and his salary. 1t
is said here that il after an examination
of the law it were found that General
Sewell would have to resign his seat in
the Senate to accept the position of Major
General, he would decline to do so and
would resign from the army.

LONDON, May 6, 1S98.-A special de-
spatch, dated from Shanghai and pub
lished today, purports to give Japanese
reports of the fignting at Manila, recei1-
ed via the Island OF Formosa. 1t says
that after disposing of the Spanish fleet
and Cavite, Commodore Dewey bonn
barded Manila itself. The city, it appears,
was soon on fire in many parts, the work,
it is added, chiefly of the insurgents.
Great loss of life is reported to have oc-

the city
The Spanish authorities are trying to
make as much as possible out of the abb

ter to the London newspapers to the eff
feet that the American commander en-
trapped by Admiral Montijo who, they
add, is known to have left outside Man
ila Bay dozen concealed gunboats
which now prevent any exit Therefore,
the Spaniards claim, it is impossible for
Commodore Dewey to send despatch

nothing of the existing war conditions
The Helena put prize crew on board
and sent her In here.
The Antonio Suarez was captured by
the despatch boat Uncas, off Boca Cieja,
near Havana. 1t is said she was signal

Grab.
IBy Cable to The Associated Press. ]


BERLIN, May g. 1s9S.-The ceremony of
closing the last session of the present
Reichstag took place today in the White
Han of the Royal Castle. The Emperor,
in the speech from the Throne after re-
ferring to the fruitful legislative results
of the session, Including the increases of
the army and navy, whereby the peaceful
security Of the Empire and an increased
guarantee of the maintenance of Euro
pean peace have been secured enpha-
sized the pacific character of the German
foreign policy, while at the same time
vigorously protecting German rights" "
Referring to the war between Spain and
the United States, his Majesty in the
speech, said
The Government will fully fulfill the
duties involved by it's neutral position,
but. on the other hand, it will protect SO
far as possible German navigation and
commerce from molestation or injury
In regard to the Chinese question the
Emperor said THE despatch Of a
squadron to Kiao-Chou to demand atone
ment for the blood of German mission
aries. made it possible to satisfy our long
cherished and fully-justified desire to OBJ
tain footholds in East Asia, capable Of
commercial development and military de-
Tense. This has been Accomplished by a
friendly understanding with China and
without disturbance of the relations be-
tween Germany and other Sta ties.
After alluding to the settlement of the
Greek finances, the speech said it was
the earnest endeavor OF the Emperor and
his federal allies to promote the economic
development of the empire, mitigate the
burdens of agricultural and assure the
security and expansion of trade and navi-
cation.
His Majesty concluded with thanking
the Reichstag for the discharge of Its inn
portant duties.

MAY EAT THE CANARY.

Especial to 1.-The Jersey City News.'']
LONDON, May 6, 1S9s.-A story is pub
lished here to the effect that the British
Admiralty has been advised by the WASH
ington Naval Strategy Board to remove
British subjects from the Canary Islands,
and it is added that this accounts for the
British second-class cruiser Charybdis
being ordered to Las Palmas, and leads
to the conclusion that Rear-Ad1miral
Sampson may attack the Canary Islands,
which would either draw the Spanish fleet
out of Cadiz or give the United States a
naval base from which to attack Spain.

DESPATCH BOAT KATE SPENCER,
OFF HAVANA (via Key West, Fla, May
6, 1895. )-The blockade of the Cuban ports
by the warships of the United States is
stil1 as effective as ever. N vessel has
entered one of the blockaded ports.
1t is monotonously weary work, drifting
idly about in the burning sun during the
day and patrolllng the coast at night,
with only an occasional chase for diver
sion. Therefore, it is not astonishing that
the officers and men of the fleet alike are
looking eagerly forward to the day when
the rumored movement of the United
States Army will take place
The glorious news of Commodore
Dewey's victory, meagre as are the de-
tails which have found their way to the
blockading Squadron was received with
intense rejoicing, and there were many
hearty cheers for Uncle Sam, although
the victory was nothing more than what
every American naval officer expected
crushing defeat for the Spanish fleet
from the Cape Verde Islands, if it reaches
American waters, being also put down as
one of the absolute certainties of the
future. The possibility of a Spanish vic
tory is not even entertained, much less
discussed
The Associated Press despatch boat
Kate Spencer cruised up the Cuban coast,
from Matanzas to Havana. yesterday. At
Matanzas a torpedo boat was spoken on
her return westward from the flagship,
to which she had carried dispatches to
Rear-Admiral Sampson, which had ar
rived after the departure of the New

An officer of the Hornet says that yes
terdGy morning the Spanish flag was
raised over lighthouse on a sand spit
just east Of the entrance Of Matanzas.
and he thinks two guns were mounted
there. II sunrise proves this to be cor
