It is now alleged that jealousy was the

men were in love with a young woman
named Kate Scott. Reed, it is said. was
madly infatuated with her, and became
moody and morose when he heard that
Henry frequently met her. 1t is said that
when the case comes to trial there will
be sensational developments. and that the
names of many prominent Hoboken people
will be dragged into the case.
Captain Hayes has a statement from
Reed to the effect tina Henry alienated
the affections of the woman from Reed,
and tina just prior to the shooting Henry
tainted Reed and called him a bum.
Reed says tina Henry's Insults became
so unbearable that he pulled his revolver
and shot him. Henry's friends say that
Reed does not tell the truth. that there
wasn't any conversation prior to the
black eyed senoritas of Cuba and the

NEW WAR CABINET.
MEN WHO FILL VACANCIES IN THE
ADMINISTRATIVE FAMILY.

The New Assistant Secretary of State Il
an Expert on international Law, While
the New General Is a Suc-
cessfuI Editor and Diplomat.
There is O trite old saying which QUIZ
sells against swapping horses while cross-
ing a river. Sometimes, however, 1T is
either swap or swim. It was In a position
somewhat of this nature that Presi-
dent Mckinley recently found himself in
regard to his cabinet. 70 have two MEM
bers Of the administrative family resign
just at the beginning Of a war was unprea-
edented, but nothing was left for him to
do except to fill their places.
Judge Day, who succeeds John Sherman
as secretary of state, has been before tho
public so long in connection with the de-
partment of which he is now the head
that the record Of his public services needs
no review.
John Bassott Moore, who steps into the
important post of first sssistant secretary
of state, is, however, a comparative stran-
ger. He is no stranger to the work which
he has been called to perform, though. for
from 1885 until 1892 he was connected
with the department. At the time of his
recent appointment he wgs holding a pro-
fessorship in Columbia csilege.
The new assistant secretary Of state was
born in Smyrna, Del, in 1860, his father
being a practicing physician of the town.
After a preliminary education in the pri-
vate schools of FELTON,, Del, he entered, at
tho age of 16 years, the University of Vir-
ginia at charlottesville, where during his
three years course he rave special atten-
ton to the classics, general history, liter
allure, logic and moral philosophy.
When 30 years old, he entered the law
Office of Edward G.. Bradford, at that time
one of the leading lawyers of Wilmington,
Del, where he studied law for three years,
and, having satisfied the requirements,
was admitted to the Delaware bar in 1883,
beginning Immediately the practice of law
in Wilmington.
One of the first names on the civil serv-
Ice rolls was that of the young lawyer. and
in July. 1885, he received a temporary
commission for six months of a $1,000
clorkship in the department of state. In
the following January the commission
was made permanent.
For some time he was associated with
the then third assistant secretary and with
the solicitor in tic distinctive legal branch
of the work. Upon the death of the SEQ
ond assistant secretary, who was succeeded
by tho third assistant secretary, he was
appointed to tho ~latter's place.
Columbia university called Mr.. Moore
in April. 1921, to accept the Hamilton
Fish chair of international law and diplo-
macy, and be accepted. Secretary Blaine
objected to his leaving and induced the
university to grant him a years leave of
absence, so in reality it was not until 1892
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1898-05-17

that he severed his connection with the
department of state. Even then he gave
up an advantageous prospect, as Secretary
Blaine offered to promote him to first as
sistant secretary if be would remain.
Since his acceptance of the Columbia
chair, however, Mr.. Moore has on several
occasions given the state department. the
benefit of his knowledge Of international
law. He has not resigned his professor
shin on request of President Low, but has
accepted a leave of absence.
Mr.. Moore is one of the few recognized
authorities or international law in this
country, and his services will be particu-
larly valuable to the state department.
while we are settling our little affair with
Spain.
Charles Emory Smith, the new post
master general, is also one of the we'll
known men of the nation. He has been
chiefly prominent as an editor, being the
director and publisher Of the Philadelphia
Press. He has also had some experience
as a diplomat, having served under Presi-
dent Harrison as United States minister to
Russia from 1890 until 1892.
Mr.. Smith was born at Mansfield, Conn,
Feb. IS, 1S42. Seven years later he re-
moved with his parents to Albany, in
which city he received his education. He
was graduated from Union college In
1861, but during his boyhood he did edi-
torial work for the Albany Transcript.
After he left college he became military
secretary to General Rathbone, who was
raising troops for the war OF the rebel
lion and subsequently became an attaohe
Of the Office of the adjutant general OF the
state of New York, whore he remained
until the election of Horatio Seymour as
governor in 1878.
FOR a short time be then taught in the
| Albany academy, but did considerable
writing for tho Albany Express, Of which
he soon became editor and in 1865 part
proprietor. He became prominent in the
affairs of the Republican party, and from
1878 Mr.. Smith was regularly a delegate
TO the state conventions and was usually
! chairman Of the committee on resolutions
| and drew up the party platforms. In 1876
he was elected to the Republican national
convention. IN 1879 no was temporary and
p%errnanent chairman Of the state conyen-
tion. This was his last prominent appear
ance in New York politics.

dont of the New York State Press associa-
tion, and II 1879 the state legislature

the Morris Canal and Banking Co., in
the waters tributary to the PaSsaio
River, to which the company called ths
attention of the city in February last, we
would say that it would be impracticaDle
to set Town in detail all the rights of the
company in those waters, or precisely
how they would be affected by a dirninu-
t1on Of the flow in the streams by tbs
taking away of the water for other uses.
The Morris Canal as constructed, is a
complicated piece of engineering work, in
voivlng dams. aqueducts, reservoirs,
pumps, slufces, feeders, o~verfiows,
siphons. outlets. planes. locks, water
wheels, slack water navigation and other
devices, all calculated to maintain from
the available sources of supply a flow Of
water in the canal sufficient for nayiga-
ton, and yet not so great as to destroy
the works. In certain places the entire
flow of Streams is taken into the canal,
and at other places the canal and stream
are one and the same thing, the boats
being fioated in the streams as raised by
dams, as, for example, at Dover and Pow
~erville; at other places the water is used
for power to haul boats up the inclined
planes, as at Booaton.
These several uses, and others that are
made OF the waters, are all matters or
public notoriety, and are open to the OBJ
s~ervation of everybody. The canal has
been operated by its present methods for
more than sixty years.
