AS WAS expected Congressman Louden-
Slayer was renominated by the convention
that assembled at Millville on Thursday
The result was not secured with that
ease and unanimity that has been so loud
ly proclaimed in the reports circulated
before the convention met, to the effect
that all opposition would melt out OF
sight. There was considerable feeling
manifested in the contest, and the solidity
of Camden county was all that saved the
day. Mr.. Loudenslager has made good
Congressman. He has worked hard for
the interests of his district and has been
prompt in his attentions to his constit-
uents. To be sure he had good health,
consequently has not been compelled to
neglect anybody on that account. He
has been useful member, securing the
passage of many measures beneficial to all
sections and has been prompt in securing
recognition for Republicans when the
terms of Democratic officers have expired.
The-feeling that was manifest in the con
vention will not effect the election. Mr.
Loudenslager will be returned to Congress
by handsome vote
A NOVEL situation has grown out of the
trolley controversy In Bordentown. Isaac
Antrim is, or was up to Thursday evening"
the Solicitor for the city. He was also
counsel for the Monmouth Traction Com
pany. With the idea that mo man can
serve two masters" Council voted Mr..
Antrim out of his city berth, proceeding
that he did not relish and the legality OF
which he proposes to test in the courts.
Whatever the decision there but little
doubt will remain in the minds of the
majority of people that Council did about
right. The trolley question has been one
of grave Importance in Bordentown and
in the various complications that have
arisen the city has had right to expect
the services of counsel solely in its EN-
ploy, and not of one on the pay roll of an
organization seeking valuable franchises
at its hands. 1t is very easy to conjecture
how impossible it would be for either
party to get a legal decision free from
bias. If a city solicitor, having secured
his position because he thought it would
be advantageous to him, discovers there
is more in the other party, he should be
accorded the privilege of choosing whom
he would serve, but he should not at
tempt to retain both places where the in
the only city with Solicitor acting in
dual capacity.

Admiral Dewey has won another victory,
and has incidentally given Germany an
object lesson of the danger of meddling in
the Philippines. The insurgents reported
to Admiral Dewey that the commander of
the German gunboat Irene had refused to
allow them to attack the Spanish fort on
Grande Island, in Subig bay. Admiral
Dewey sent the cruisers Raleigh and Con-
cord to Subig bay with orders to capture
the fort. AS soon as the two cruisers
made their appearance in the bay the
Irene steamed out of it. After the cruis-
ers had destroyed the Notifications and
the torpedo station, the Spanish garrison
of more than 1900 men surrendered.
After the surrender the commander of the
Irene tried to square himself with Admi-
raj Dewey by telling him that he had pre-
vented the insurgents from attacking the
fort in the interest of humanity, and of
fered to turn over the refugees that he
had taken ON his vessel. Admiral Dewey
politely but CURLY declined to receive
them The Germans will probably not
attempt to do any more meddling over
there.

And eleven days later he received the
surrender of an army of 10, 900 men hold

In his entire campaign less than $50 Of

alship.-N Y. World.

We may not care particularly about
taking the Philippines, but we can assure
our European friends that we are not 60
ing to be dictated to as to the manner in
which we shall dispose of them or any
part of them. Expansion is a new idea
with us. The defense of our rights is an
old habit. Europe might have submitted
till this day to the exactions of the Bar
barry pirates if Jefferson had not sent the
American Navy to break up their nests.
There are broken and dying nations, and
some not so badly off, that still submit to
be cheated of their rights at the behest of
this or that European power, or of two of
them together. Russia was checked at
San Stefano. Turkey won the plains of
Thessaly, but was forbidden to go to
Athens Japan submitted to European
dictation in making her treaty with China
We are not in that category, and ac-
knowledge no overload to tell us how far
we may profit by the excellence of our
gunnery and the valor of our troops.-N.

Tampa and Mobile will be here tomor-
row, capable of carrying away at least
1000 people.
The government is fully apprised of
the movements in Washington. Still
there are no outward signs of great ex-
element. Consul General Lee is as
cool as the proverbial cucumber. He
says he has received no orders from the
department as to leaving the island.
The removal of the quarantine is great
relief to many nervous people. So far
as is known no orders have been sent
from the state department affecting the
movements of United States Consuls

But Steps to Drive Spain Out
of Cuba.

Washington, April 6.-Four Republi-
can members of the foreign relations
committee of the house, Messrs. Henry
of Indiana, Heatwole of Minnesota,
Smith of Michigan and Quigg of New
York, have announced this morning that
they will not support the presidents
recommendations if they are as out
lined in some of the morning papers
and especially if he asks intervention
at his discretion.
Mr.. Henry declares that he is in IA
vor Of resolutions which recite the con-
ditions in Cuba and the blowing up of
the Maine and then resolve that Spain
has forfeited all dominion over Cuba
and authorizing the president to use the
army and navy to drive Spain from the
island.
The Democrats of the committee
probably will join the Republicans
against the president before the mes
sage comes in. It seems certain the
resolutions presented to the senate will
not support him. Nothing will be done
by the committee however until the
message is presented. The committee
met at 1890 a. m.

SPAIN TO BACK j?
A Tip to Wall Street Causes
StOcks"tO Rally.

New York April 6-Great crowds in
the galleries of the stock exchange who
anticipated war scare were disap-
pointed in the lack of excitement and
animation on the floor. The war scare
did not materialize, and prices at once
set about recovering their losses. This
recovery was complete in most cases,
but a few stocks rose strongly above
last nights level. Sugar touched 1175s,
rising two points from the opening and
q over last night. This rise in prices
put an end to the buying and the mar
ket drifted downward again, sugar los
ing over a point. There were rumOrS in
Wall street of private information by
cable that Spain was preparing to back
down. These rumors were not traceable
to any source.

Two Vessels at Havana to Bring Off
Americans

Havana, April 6.-The Bache and the
Blake have arrived from Key West to
take American citizens to the United
States who desire to leave the island.

Thursday as had been expected. All
depends upon whether those who wish

quire more boats than the Bache, the

All newspapers accept the reported
mediation of the pope as certainty be-
lieving that the danger of the rupture is
averted.
Ell Diario De La Marina asserts that
if peace is preserved the firm and the
warlike attitude of the Spanish people
had much to do with it.
In some quarters it is said that the
present unsettled condition of affairs
is being used by local spectators to
make money in sugar and Spanish Sc
curities by starting war or peace ru-
mors according as the desire to bear

nothing was given out. The adminiS-

in fear of a possible outbreak. 1t is
thought over 1000 Americans will leave
Havana today. Whether any armed

Messrs. Marsh of Illinois, Tawney of

thing For Advantage.

Washington, April 6-Never in re-
cent years if ever at any time has there
been such demand for admission to the
halls of congress as was made to-day.
People who appreciated what the con-
dition of affairs would be were at the
doors of the big building before 5
o'clock, and they were there in such
numbers at this time that when the
doors were opened not to exceed half
of them could find seats in the galleries
of either the senate or the house.
The people began to arrive at the east
front of the capitol as early as o'clock
notwithstanding the fact that the Their
mometer registered below the freezing
point. By half past 8 o'clock the
grounds in front of the building were
well covered with struggling people
seeking ingress to the building to which
they evidently expected history to be
made during the day. The large stone
steps leading to the senate and house
wings and to the rotunda were literally
covered when the doors were opened.
They rushed into the capitol through
the various openings like water from
swollen river breaking through de-
fective leVee.
In Ave minutes time all all the public
galleries were filled and the crowd in
the corridors was so dense that it was
difficult to believe that any had found
seats and been removed from the
throng.
On the floor the greatest excitement
and activity prevailed. The leaders
rushed hither and thither rallying their
forces. Rumors flew about. Here in
dignation was riot against the report
that the president would ask for discre-
ton as to when intervention should
take place; there, a staunch supporter
of the president was counseling calm;
here a group was discussing the proba-
bility of an alliance between the Demo-
Gratis and the dissatisfied Republicans;
there an appeal to a group of Republi-
cans was being made to stand solidly
by the president, and party organiza-
ton.
The battle was already on. In cor
ner of the capitol, the house committee
on foreign affairs was meeting. In the
old library hall, the "Reconcentrados,
as the Republicans, who have been ur-
gent for action. have been called, were
discussing the latest phase of the Situa-
ton with stormy words.
