did not enable the court TO form def
mite conclusion as to the condition OF
the wreck. although it was established
that the after part of the ship was
practically intact and sank in that
condition a very few minutes after the
destruction Of the forward part.
The following facts in regard to the
forward part Of the ship are, however,
established by the testimony.
That portion Of the port side Of the
protective deck which extends from
about frame 30 to about frame Al was
blown up aft, and over to port. The
main deck from about frame 80 to
about frame Al was blown UP aft, and
Slightly over to starboard, folding the
forward part of the middle superstruc-
ture over and on top of the after part.
This was, in the opinion of the court
caused by the partial explosion Of two
the Maine.
5. At frame II the outer shell of the
ship from a point eleven and one-half
feet from the middle line of the ship
and six feet above the keel when in its
normal position has been forced up so
as to be now about four feet above the
surface of the water; therefore, about
"a feet above where ii would be had the
ship sank uninjured. The outside bot
tom plating is bent into a reversed V
shape, the after wing of which. about
Is feet broad and 80 feet in length
(from frame II to frame 25), is doubled
back upon itself against the continue
ton of the same plating extending for
ward.
At frame is the vertical keel is
broken in two, and the fiat keel bent
into an angle similar to the angle
formed by the outside bottom plating.
This break is now about six feet be-
low the surface of the water, and
about so feet above its normal posi-
ton.
In the opinion of the court this eff
feet could have been produced only by
the explosion of a mine situated under
the bottom of the ship at about frame
the ship.
6. The court finds that the loss of the
Maine, on the occasion named, was
not in any respect due to fault or
negligence on the part of any of the
officers or members of the crew of said
vessel.
T. In the opinion of the court the
Maine was destroyed by the explosion
of a submarine mine, which caused the
partial explosion of two of her forward
magazines.
5. The court has been unable to OBJ
tain evidence fixing the responsibility
for the destruction Of the Maine upon
any person or persons.

Mr.. Allan Kenny and His Important
Bill.

Although the do nothing" policy OF the
Republican majority of the present Legis-
lature has offered but little opportunity
for the display of those abilities which
characterize the finished lawmaker, the
delegation from Hudson county. as on
more than one occasion, is demonstrating
tina the people made no mistake when
they sent those eleven men to represent
them at the State Capitol.
No one in that delegation has appeared
to better advantage than Mr.. Allan
Benny of Bayonne. From the very first
week of the session he has shown him
self to be a man of sound Judgment and
quick perception, and possessed OF a fund
of humor which on more than one oeea-
sion has acted like oil upon the troubled
waters of the Legislative sea.
His first appearance upon the floor was
on that memorable night when Speaker
Watkins undertook to ride rough shod
over the Democratic members n at
tempted to serve notice upon them that
the Republicans proposed to run that
Legislature just as they pleased and mo
Democrats need apply" The forcible
speech of Mr.. Benny On that occasion did
much to convince Mr.. Watkins that the
Democratic minority was fully acquainted
with its rights and proposed to have them
respected. Thai debate opened the eyes
of the Republican bosses and they plainly
saw that they had to deal with a minority
far different from that of the year be-
fore.
The same sound Judgment is noticeable
in all the bills which Mr.. Benny has in
treduced. His Measure of last Monday
night, providing for the appointment by
the Governor of five persons, who, with
the Mayor or other chief officer of each
municipality of this county, shall con-
stitute a commission to consider and ad-
wise the Legislature upon the matter of
consolidating all the municipalities in
Hudson County under one, combined gov
eminent. has attracted more attention in
this county perhaps than any other meas
ure of the session. The consolidation of
Hudson county into. one great city is an
exceedingly popular project and one
which is received with much favor by a
large number of the citizens of each;
municipality. A step of that magnitude
should be considered calmly indicially
and deliberately, and this careful study

Residents in the vicinity of he Boule-

deal of grumbling these days against their

agency was located III a pharmacy at Lin

a great convenience to the people of he
west side.
II appears that a short time ago the
postal authorities decided to do away
with all the stamp agencies not of a

one on the west side. hence the grumbling
among the residents. Frederick Woeck-
