SHORE RESORTS CROWDED.
Bayonne and Greenville Double
Their Population

The largest crowds of the season visited
the shore front in Bayonne and Green
vile yesterday. The cars, which ran On
one minute headway, were packed all day
with surging, crushing, jostling masses OF
humanity, intent upon getting away from
the sweltering city. Such traffic has sell
dom been experienced on the Bayonne
line but it was well handled. The re-
sorts in Greenville were congested all
day long so anxious were the people 70
get near the water and cool breeze.
In Bayonne also the people focked in
great numbers to the shore houses and
the many beautiful places there were
well patronzed Basket parties enjoyed
themselves in the cool woods by the
shores while others braved the sun and
went in bathing. The bay was dotted
with boats of all descriptions containing
pleasure parties, some fishing and some
grabbing.
The Boulevard presented dreary and
desolate scene all day, as not more than
a score of riders ventured out.

Greenville Schwaben Verein opened yes
terday in Union Hill Schuetzen Park, and
the gathering of jolly Germans was not
eclipsed by any previous event held by
that organization OH the opening day.
The park in Union HIN was filed with

a very quiet one for the people in charge,
but yesterday made up for whatever ex-
cstement and fun that was lacking on the
previous day.
The members from Greenville rode to
the park in private cars The sport yes
terday was exciting. especially the new
aquatic game, produced in this country
for the first time. In the lake large boats
were placed and in each was man arm
ed with q long wooden spear. When the
boats came together the men prodded
with their spears, trying TO force each
other overheard. This continued for the
greater part of the day. There were also
tableaux and numerous side shows.
Wheels Of fortune, bowling and shoot
ing were also among the attractions. The
affair for the two days was a decided
success, and will be opened again next

Mr.. James Harrington, No. 45 Orchard

Dear Sir-I wish TO inform you that the
work under your contract for removing
garbage from the streets of this city, IS
being executed in a very unsatisfactory
manner. The ashes and garbage are not
removed from the streets until late
hour in the day which, especially during
annoyance to the people of our city and is
also detriment to the city. Your men
are careless in the discharge OF their du-
distributed along the streets. This work
should be done with more care and a. an
earlier hour. otherwise I shall consider 1t
my duty to oppose further payments to
you on account of the contract.

JUDGE WHITE DECLINES.
Will Not Accept a Place on
the Peace Commission
at Paris.
Ills SUBSTITUTE SELECTED
The President Awaiting an
Acceptance Before Max
ing the Name Public.

WASHINGTON, Sept. G. 1898.-The train
bearing the President and Mrs. Mckinley
and their party reached the Pennsylvania
Railroad station at 7:3O A. M. today. The
carriage from the White House met them
and the President and Mrs. Mckinley
were driven directly there. The Chief Ex-
eeutive and his wife show the beneficial
effects of their brief outing and express
themselves as greatly pleased with it.
Secretary Day, probably. will not re-
sumo the discharge of the, functions of
Secretary Of State. and itN may be as
sumed that his connection with the de-
partment, save in the capacity of a
Peace Commissioner, terminated when he
left Washington for Ohio recently. Upon
his return to Washington it is expected
that he will come to the State Department
for the purpose of bidding farewell to the
employees
There is no longer a reasonable doubt
that Justice White has decided to decline
the appointment of Peace Commissioner.
and that he refrains from making public
announcement of his purpose at the re-
quest of the President. 1t is intimated
that a very early announcement may be
looked for, as there is reason to believe
thai tllc IIeSluC1lL has dI[tGQJ UltQG d
tender of the Comrnssienership, and is
awaiting an acceptance before making
public that fact.
Arrangements for the departure of the
Commission on the 18th inst, from New
York, are being pushed
Acting Secretary Moore. with the as
sistance of Mr.. Macarthur, is giving a
great deal of time to the collection of
documents and charts needed by the AM
erican Commissioners in their work, and
the subjects likely to arise in connection
with the final peace negotiations are re-
ceiving the closest study at the hands
of these gentlemen.
Especially is this true of the Philip
pines, which promise to be the bone Of
contention before the Commission, and,
consequently Acting Secretary Moore is
devoting the best share of his attention
to that phase of the subject.
To establish a clear understanding Of
the scope of the Commissions powers it
is stated, on authority, that this body
is not in any sense judicial but purely
diplomatic. The procedure will not be
of a character where numerical voting
strength will determine any proposition,
expected to act as separate units and
should differences arise they must be
settled by the ordinary course of diplo-
matte negotiation.
Owing to the absence from the city of a
majority of the Cabinet there was no
called meeting of that body today. Sec
retaries Gage and Alger and Postmaster
General Smith however, assembled at the
