Attempts to Get The Cuban Bel
ligerency Resolutions Before
- the House Failed.
Chair Steadily Ruled Against the
Minority and Was Sustained
by the House.
Mr.. Hit Of the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee Makes a
Statement.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. O.-When the
house convened the leaders on both
sides were rallying their forces, and it
was apparent that the battle over Cuba,
started over an amendment to the diplo.
matte and consular appropriation bill,
was to continue. The attendance on
the floor and in the galleries was large
Immediately after the disposal of some
routine business, the storm broke, and
the battle over Cuba was on. Mr..
Brncker (Dem., Mich.) asked unani.
nous consent for the consideration of
resolution which he sent to the clerks
desk. The speaker took occasion to
examine the resolution, ,and while doing
SO, Mr.. Bailey, the leader of the minor
ity, loudly demanded that the resolu.
ton be reported.
The speaker thereupon directed the
clerk to read the resolution, which
proved to be resolution to instruct the
committee on foreign affairs to report
without further delay, the senate Cuban
fbelligerency resolution.
Like a flash, Mr.. Hit, chairman of
the foreign affairs committee, was on
his feet with a point Of order, which
the speaker promptly sustained, and
was about to recognize Mr.. Hit to call
up the diplomatic and consular appro.
priation bill, when Mr.. Bailey demand.
ed recognition.
"One moment, please" he called,
"I4et us first dispose of this question Of
order.''
"The chair sustained the point of
order" retorted the speaker tersely.
''Then appeal, !" called Mr., Bailey to
Mr. Brucker across the hall, and the
Michigan member entered an appeal
from the decision of the chair. All was
instantly excitement and confusion. A
dozen members were on their feet de-
manding recognition to debate the ap-
peal, but the speaker recognized Mr..
Dalzell, who moved to lay the appeal
on the table. This cut off debate and
the speaker put the question. On a
rising vote the Republicans stood firm,
and voted l07-94 to lay the appeal on
the table. The yeas and nays were de.
manded and obtained by Mr.. Bailey.
The roll-cal was watced with intense
interest to ascertain whether an the
Republicans were willing to go on rec.
ord as they had voted in committee Of
the whole. when no record of the vote
was made.
The Democrats who expected to see
the Republican line broken were disap.
pointed. The majority presented an
unbroken front. Mr.. White of North
Carolina. the solitary colored member
Of the house, when his name was called
declined to vote at all, answering
''present.
But at the conclusion of the roll call
he thought better of his resolution and
voted ':aye.''
The motion to lay the appeal on the
table was carried, l88.128.
Several other attempts to get the
Cuban question before the house for
debate failed.

Stabbing Mayor Hoos in the Back
the "JournaI's, Latest Infamy.


The Evening Journal" yesterday,
printed another of those nasty articles
in which it displays it's ingratitude to
Mayor Hoos by trying to put him in a
hole It made the Grove street trolley
ordinance a pretext, and it represented
His Honor as being in a condition of
weakness and vacillation as to the ac-
ton he should take regarding it.
There was nothing strange about this.
We ave always warned the Mayor of the
Journals treacherous hostility. The
Rappleye-Dear combination are as treach-
erous as Apaches and about as merciful.
No matter what he does to ingratiate
himself with the sheet, he will always
find it hacking and stabbing him when OPP
portunity offers, for the simple reason
that he was elected on a Democratic
ticket. When it praises him, everyone
sees that the design is to embrofl him
with his party.
There was remarkable feature, how
ever, about yesterdays onslaught. This
was the collection of -onym postal
cards. embodied in it. These reveal the
Journals" methods in their true light.
1t is plain to the most casual reader,
either that they were forgeries, outright.
or else that they were sent to the Mayor
from the Journal office itself. Here is
the alleged text Of them as the Journal
gives it,
The Mayor today received an anony-
nous postal card, saying
! am watching you action on the

ernor for the purpose of, il possible, in
ducing him to allow the measure TO be-

When seen by an Observer man last
night Miss Allen stated that she and the
committee had visited Governor Voorhees,
at Elizabeth on Saturday. and he had told
them that he would have TO d~isapprove
the measure.
The principal objection said Miss AL
len, was the clause which provides for
the payment of 81 LEGO a year to the State
treasurer for his labors as ex-oAicio
treasurer of the fund. That looked too
much like a State appropriation, Mr..
Voorhees, thought, though as a matter of
fact not one cent was to come from the
State, the money being paid by the teach
ers themselves and diverted to the State
treasury.
Anyway Miss Allen continued. mfr.

Miss Allen stated her intention Of pay

explained that if the Governor should per-
sist in his opposition 1t would leave the
fund Just as il Is at present. under the
law OF 1896. The new act was intended
primarily to perfect the system and to
nable the association to take in new
members, the act Of 1896 having fixed q
three months limit. There are now $4,000
in the fund and eight teachers ave been
retired and are drawing half pay.

NEW JERSEY WEALTH.
State Board Of Taxation
Places It Officially at
S844,365,I98.
Especial to s.The Jersey City News.nl

especial to 'Ihe Jersey City News
TRENTON, Oct. rs, 189S.-The State
Board of Taxation has just compiled a
statement, showing the wealth Of New
Jersey in real estate and personal prop
erty. 1t shows that during the year OF
1898 there has been an increase in the
total valuations of these two classes OF
property Of s81. 75s, los. the total valuations
for the year being sS44, 365, 19s, while that
for 1887 was bat sSla. sos, 09o.
While there is a substantial increase all
over the State, the largest increase is in
Bergen county, where the ratables have
been advanced from SIS, 325. Sos in 1887. to
s44, 1870, So in 1893. This wonderful increase
is due TO the efforts of the State Board
Of Taxation in hauling the derelict as
SCISSORS Of Bergen county over the GOALS
for underwriting all property in that
county.
Five of the counties show a decrease IN
valuations. All Of the decrease is in the
agricultural districts. where, for the past
ten years, there has been a strong depres-
sion in valuations. In Camden county
there is a decrease of $5n .145 in the rata-
bles, the entire decrease being outside Of
the city OF Camden.
The valuations for 1898 as compared
with those of 1887, together with the de-
crease or Increase in each county, will

Henry Brautigam, or Samuel D. Dtekin-

weight Of one sort or another, and might
be published to expose the animus of the

contemptibly unimportant than an an
onymous letter, it is an anonymous postal
card. 1t Is a product Of cowardIy black
guardism in the thirty-second degree. II
Mayor Hoos ever received the things. he
undoubtedly threw them into his waste
basket without a second thought. It is
simply childish to say that either he Or
his son ever sought to get them into

get them? Is there any refuge from the

tanned in the Journal" office, and run
into the paper so as to eInbarrass and
worry the Mayor. and create a semblance
of campaign material, likely to affect vo-
tiers who take their news on trust.
Once again. we warn the Mayor againss

and if he is not wary, it will do him d
