Insurgent Leader Reyes safe.

Washington, March 1.-THE course
pursued by the commander of the gun.
boat Marietta, at Bluefelds, in giving
asylum to General Reyes, the leader OF
the defunct rebellion. is fully approved
here. 1t is said that Captain Symonds
probably saved much bloodshed and rior-
ing and incidentally the destruction OF
American property by offering this refuge
and thus terminating the active resist
ance of the rebels. II is probable that
the Marietta viii convey Reyes to q
place of safety in some other country
unless he can make terms with the gov.
ernment of Nicaragua.

ARMY BILL NOW A LAW.
The House Accepts the Measure
Passed by tie Senate.
AN EXTRA SESSION AvERTED.

The Senate Makes Provision For a
Government Armor Plate Plant In
Case the Manufacturers Do Not Come
to Terms.
Washington, March 2.-The last lin
gering possibility of an extra session of
congress disappeared yesterday when the
house passed the senate army reorganiza
ton bill. Very considerable and vigor-
Gus opposition to the acceptance of the
senate bill was voiced on both sides of
the hall, and for a time it appeared pos
sible that the bill would not secure the
necessary two-thirds to pass it under
suspension of the rules. But the Repub
lican leaders, Messrs. Henderson, Gros
venor and Cannon, came to its support
on the Republican side and Mr.. Bailey.
the Democratic leader, threw the weight
of his influence in favor of it on the
Democratic side arguing that it provided
only for a temporary increase of the
army, which would be made permanent
if congress were convened in extra ses-
sion.
Another big element in the vote was
Mr.. Hulfs recital of statement made
by the president to him that he would nor
construct section - as authority to con-
script the minority in volunteer organiza-
tons which should elect to remain in
the service. The bill passed by 203 to
50. 1t was signed by the president today.

odds and Ends.


There is to be a hearing later today on
the general township act, one of the i'm
portant bills of the session. There are
some features objected to.
The legislature is making little prog
ress with the attempt to secure state
supervision of building and loan con-
Germs. owing to the failure to agree on
a plan. Two antitrading stamp bills are
pending in the house. Game bills are
threatening the peace of the senate, the
sportsmen in different sections being al
odds as to what they want. This is a
regular annual development
Here are three important bills on the
subject of municipal ownership offered
by Mr.. Benny:
No. 1893 authorizes any city to pur-
chase or build any gas plant and to is
sue bonds for payment.
No. 200 authorizes any city to pur-
chase or build any street railway and to
issue bonds in payment.
No. POI authorizes any city to pur-
chase OF condemn any gas plant for
public use and to issue bonds for the
payment thereof
The Washington park license bill had
a hearing in assembly committee yes
terday. Arguments pro and con were
heard.
The house passed bills providing for
the pensioning of the families of police
men killed in the discharge of duty
providing that ten hours shall consti-
tute a days work for bakers, providing
for two female factory inspectors al

point. and appropriating $500 for a

seven Jerseymen who were killed in the
destruction of the Maine.
Assemblyman Murray's telephone bill
No. SO, was argued before the house
committee on corporations yesterday
afternoon The introducer made g
lengthy argument in its favor. The bill
fixes telephone rates as follows: In cities
of over 100. 900 population. $50 per year;
cities of from 10000 to 100 900 population
$40 per year; under 10000 population
$50 per year. Spencer Weart of Jersey
City, on behalf of the Independent tele-
phone companies, entered hearty pro-
test against the bill He said it was
unfair as well as unnecessary.

abolish grade railroad crossings in cit
hes.

it unlawful to gather CLAIMS in July and
August of any year. Penalty, 500 or
six months Imprisonment
Wages In Cash BiweekIy.
A determined effort is being made in
the legislature this winter to co away
with the system under which employees
in different parts of the state are paid
in store orders instead of in cash. This
is an old evil, and more than one act
has been passed heretofore that struck
at it unavailingly. The south Jersey
glass blowers have suffered from the
system probably more than any one
else. In their interest bill was passed
in 1896 which required fortnightly pay
ment of wages in cash, but permitted
special contracts to be entered into by
employees which practically nullified
the purpose in view. This winter three
bills have been introduced-one by SEN
ator Stokes of Cumberland, one by Sen
ator Stranger of Gloucester and the
third by Assemblyman QUAD. All three
were considered this week. The Qaaid
bill received scant courtesy in the
ing down a motion to compel the COM
mittee on corporations to report it. In
the senate Senator Strangers measure,
after some discussion, got through. Its
intent is to prohibit any special con-
tract hereafter between employer and
employee providing for anything but
fortnightly payment of wages.
The principal debate occurred over
Senator Stokes bill, which insists not
only on fortnightly payment of wages
but also on the abolition of the store
order system Senator Stokes explain
ed the evil referred to, showing that in
his own county of Cumberland men, in
stead of receiving cash for their work
were given store books emitting them
to so much credit.
Senator McDermott asked why the
bill had not been made general. Why
were the employees of railroads and
other corporations exempted
Senator Stokes said that such exemp-
tions had always been made in legisla-
ton of this character and that railroad
employees did not seek fortnightly pay
Senator McDermott replied that il
was not because the engineers, firemen
etc. in railroad service did not want
their money every two weeks, but that
bill in favor of railroad employees
could not be passed through the New
Jersey legislature.

There was a further committee hearing
on it yesterday Mrs Emily William
son appeared, as usual, in its favor.
Mrs. Benson and Miss Carlin of Jersey
City opposed. The great opposition is
from the children's homes now existing
in the state, which fear that they will
be driven out of business, the idea OF
the new board being to place all orphan
children in private homes as rapidly as
possible. To offset the effect of the
board of guardians, if it is finally au-
thorized by law, Mr.. Yard of Mercer has
introduced a bill which allows parents
to grant To orphan asylums their chill
dren for their entire minority.
