DEFEAT FOR THE
 GERMAN MONARCH Emperor William Opposed Compromise
 On Army Bill. WAS GREATLY MORTIFIED Over His Turn Down at the Hands
 of the ReichStas. CECIL RHODES VISIT TO BERLIN Papers Suggest that Germany Demand Samoa for England's Privilege of Building the Lake Lorraine
 Railway in Africa.
CECIL RHoDEs' VISIT TO BERLIN

Berlin, March 1S-The unexpected reich stag crisis which has overshadowed every thing this week, was brought about by the fact that the reichstag, judging from the words and manners of the minister of war, General von Gossler. was led to believe that the emperor and the bundesrath were satisfied with the military bill fixed by the budget commissioners report grant ing everything demanded in the shape of reorganization of the artillery and cavalry and an increase of the army peace footing, except that only 1000 men were granted out of 23,OOO asked for
 This however, was only after the minis ter of war suddenly announced that the report was considered insufficient, that 1t was discovered his majesty insisted on the passage of the bill in its original shape, or else the reichstag would be dissolved and new elections ordered this issue. His majesty is virtually alone in the stand taken, since a majority of the bundesrath made it clear to the imperial chancellor, Prince Hohenlohe. on Wednesday that their government were satisfied with the bill in the shape reported. They further  ling matter seemed undesirable and unju- dicious.
 The Final Arbitrator The bundesrath being constitutionally the final arbitrator in the matter, the emperor risked being discredited if he carried out his intention of dissolving the reichstag, and 1t also seemed clear that the result of an election would not be more favorable to the emperor's wishes.
 The statements of the leaders of the reichstag carried much weight. Dr. Lieber, spokesman of the center party, showing that within few years besides the regular military appropriations, the reichstag has voted 733. .000, 900 marks, and that the peace strength of the army Is much stronger than appears in the bill. being really considera- bly over 900 men.
 This effective arrangement of unsuitable military demands and the statements of the other leaders made bad impression.
 Herr Richter, the German radical leader, said:
 ''If the reichstag is now dissolved 1t will not be because of this trifing reduction in the military bill, but because another reich stag is wanted-one vf,tch will pass re- actionary anti-strike bill and modify the election law and its motto will be 'autocrat-

Especial to "The Jersey city News."l

TRENTON, Feb. Is, 1S99.-The present
do Nothing Legislature is not to
blame for the fact that it did not meet
yesterday. That was due to the blizzard.
When the Legislature adjourned last
week it was to meet at eleven O'Clock
yesterday morning. But the snow sus-
pended travel altogether on the Phila-
delphia Reading Railroad and greatly
trains on the Pennsylvania.
When eleven O'Clock same not an out of
town member was in the State. House.
The Mercer county delegation went
through the form of calling the House
to order and adourning for want of a
quorum to three o'clock in the after
noon. =. :. Z.
In the Senate. Senator Hutchinson, of
Mercer, with the aid of one of the cor
respondents as clerk, went through the
same form.
By three o'clock the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company succeeded in getting
through one train in each direction and
a few more members arrived, but not
enough to make a quorum In either House
and both Chambers adjourned until ten
o'clock this morning.
Soon afterward another train from this
city arrived over the Pennsylvania,
bringing President Reed and several 9TH
er members. Governor voorhees, arrived
on the first train, which arrived about
noon and remained In his office the rest
of the day, attending to routine business.
This morning the Legislature Is Still
without a quorum. The trouble is in the
southern section or the State. The main
lines in Northern and Central Jersey are
running trains with some degree of regu-
larity. The southern roads, however,
have not been dug out yet and theb branch
and cross roads in all sections are tied
up.
Few of the legislators arrived on the
early trains, and when 1890, the hour fixed
for the meeting, arrived. it was evident
that quorums, thirty-one in the House
and eleven in the Senate. were missing.
A telegram was received by the Speaker
from Assemblyman Squire, of Union, tell
ing him not to adjourn as there were
enough Assemblymen ON a train then at
New Brunswick to make up a quorum.
Speaker Watkins held the session open
until 1870 O'Clock. Then ne opened the
House and only twenty-six members re-
sponded to the roll. He then adjourned
the Assembly to 2:30 o'clock this after
noon.
In the Senate six Senators were pres
ent. and that body was also adjourned to
this afternoon.
Soon after adjournment, Mr.. Squire and
enough to make a quorum appeared and
a session of the House is assured this
afternoon. Ten Senators are here and i
is probable another will arrive by 2;3o
O'clock

Chief said he would have the matter at
tended to Immediately. The wall will be
razed before tomorrow.
The annex. on Gator avenue, was thor
oughly Quilted, and it is a mass of charred
ruins. The building, as it stands, is prac-
tically useless. The entire interior was
cleaned out In a most thorough hammer.
Not a book nor a cents worth of sta
tionery was saved.
The house of Frederick Mattisheimer,
on Danforth avenue, ust jsouth of the
school, was the only other building dam
aged. This was but partially burned, but
the family is unable to reside there be-
cause of the damage done by water
Those witnessed the fierce fire are Won
dering how the whole block opposite the
schoo On Danforth avenue ever escaped
destruction. The wind was blowing in
that direction, and at time the flames shot
cut of the old building a distance of thirty
feet. The residents formed a bucket
brigade and kept continually throwing
water on their houses. Had the front
wall fallen shortly after the fire began
the firemen would lave been powerless TO
prevent tn Who'll block from burning to
the ground.
Captain Nugent remarked, last evening,
that he never saw such a fierce blaze,
and he wondered that the whole block
was not destroyed.
The question now uppermost in he
minds of Greenville residents, is school
accommodation for the eleven hundred
scholars.
Commissioner Edward Barr, is among
the hardest workers in that section for
speedy chool relief. All day yesterday he
was down town among the officials urging
them to hurry the matter along.
Mr.. Barr said:-'"The fire of Monday was
saw. But at the same time | feel happy
tina Almighty God did not allow the blaze
to reach the other side of Danforth ave-
nue.. If it had. no one knows what the
loss would have been.
1.-The loss to the school children is great.
1t seems too bad that such an institution
of education should be destroyed. The
officials, / think, should get right to work
on plans for a new school and by next
September a handsome school house
SHOULD grace the site where the ruined
structure now stands.
"On the other hand, there are halls
enough in this section to hold all the
scholars and these hould be engaged as
speedily as possible. Columbia Hall is
we'll adapted for school purposes and
could be made ready to receive nine hun
bred children within a very short time"
Superintendent Henry Snyder, Finance
Commissioner Reuben Simpson, Principal
Reinheart of School No. 20 and Director
Finn visited the ruined building this
morning. They also inspected several
halls in the immediate vicinity. They will
report the result of their visit at the
meeting his evening.

NEWARK, Feb. IS. 1S99.-When the

offered by Commissioner Byrne to recon-
mend to the Board that q suitable site be
purchased at once for the construction of
a storage reservoir, capable of holding at

sin. He asked that the proposition be
given precedence over all other business
of the Board and said that If the, project
should be begun at once the reservoir
could be made ready for next winter.
The motion was adopted.
Engineer Sherrerd submitted a report on

consist of a natural basin at a soper
height, SO as to provide the greatest stor-
age at a minimum cost of construction.
Two such sites, he said, were found near

condemned. h other IS available and
has already been surveyed for the water
department.

TOWN IMPROVEMENT.
Form a Street Clean
ing Brigade at Has
brouck's Yesterday
All Overseers.

There was a meeting of the Town I'M
provement Committee, Woman's Club,
yesterday afternoon, in Hasbrouck Instr
tute. Not even the snow and cold could
act as a damper on the Town Improve
ment. and the enthusiasm of the ladies
burned through barriers of snow, and they
ventured out pushing their away through
drift after drift.
Eight ladies' appeared at Hasbrouck In
stitute and talked the matter of clean, or
dirty. streets over for at least two hours.
This new street cleaning brigade has at
last decided that some definite step must
be taken, and yesterday 1t was determined
to furnish each lady on the committee
with a little note book In which to keep
account of each unemptied, stopped over
or otherwise unattractive ash barrel, as
well as the number of papers,, fruit skins
and tin cans scattered round the streets
included in her district.
Each lady present was given charge
over a certain section of the city, that
in which she lives, and a resolution was
passed as follows
"Moyed. That the Town improvement
Committee representing the Woman's
Club of Jersey City, petition the Street
and Water Board to place at prominent
street corners receptacles for fruit skins,
ETC., in order to keep the street in a de-
cent and orderly condition"
There are plenty of ordinances to Gov
| er these things remarked one lady, in
| speaking of the plans proposed to keep
| the streets clean, IF they can only be
| enforced, The Town Improvement Com
| mittee does not of itself intend to ex-
pend money in this direction, but to en-
force the law, by constant reports as to
the condition Of the streets and petitions
for their cleanliness. The little books in
which the. ladies jot down ash barrels, tin
| cans and papers will be handed at stated
| intervals to the chairman, Mrs. Hubs
peth Benson, who in turn will make out a
report and hand it to the Street and Wa
ter Board.
AT first 1t was thought that each lady
present could, with assistants, a
| charge of one ward. of which there are
twelve in the city, but when the size of
one of those wards was discovered TINS
keep the committee constantly on the
streets.
The committee is now in possession of a
copy of the Street Cleaning Contract. SO
that the ladies know exactly what should
be done, and are now ready TO go ahead.
