new JERSEY LeaI5lA AZURE ADJouRNs

6ilyerfte senator Prevented Conf1rm-
alton OF Gold Democrat.
Trenton, March 25.-It was els last
night when the New Jersey legislature
for 1899 adjourned sine die, although
the hour 6xed for final adjournment
was 8 O'Clock In the afternoon. Just be-
fore 3 O'Clock the clocks in the two cham
bsrs were stopped. A number of bills
were passed In the two hours In the af-
ternoon, and then a series Of recesses
were taken, in order to give the governor
time to sign all bills before the session
came to an end. This IL an innovation
in New Jersey legislative proceedings, as
heretofore the legislature has adjourned
and left in the governors hands from
100 to 200 bills to be disposed of by him.
The governor was busy all day.
: In the house Assemblyman Murphy,
the leader Of the minority, in very COM
plimentary and effective speech, pre-
scented Speaker Watkins, on behalf of all
the members, with a gold watch and
chain.
The senate held an executive session
in the afternoon and confirmed all the
nominations received from the governor
and Enacted upon, with the exception of
the nomination Of William H. Morrow
a. member Of the state board Of educa.
ton. This board is bipartisan, and Mr..
Morrow was nominated as one Of the
Democratic members. He was a gold
Democrat In 1896, and his continuation
was objected to by Senator Foster
(Dem), of Hunterdon, who Is silver
man, and who claims that Mr.. Morrow.
because Of bis gold leanings, was not a
Democrat. Under the rules the confirm.
alton had to 20 over for day, and as
the session ended yesterday Mr.. Morrow
could not be confirmed. He will prob.
ably be appointed I'D interim by tho
governor.

CHAPTER III.

Lieutenant Oakman's mare was Of
quick as her rider to perceive their dan.
ger. She whirled like lightning and
started down the edge of the wood with
the speed Of the wind. Had the officer
been given a moments warning, be
would have turned her into the trail
and made for the open highway beyond.
But the shifting Of position caused by
her advance upon the negro lad took
her away from the most promising
opening, while the Confederate, who
had ordered the lieutenant to surrender,
was nearer the path than the officer.
Consequently to make for it would
have been to rush upon his fate.
Oakman knew he would be fired upon
the moment he refused 70 surrender.
He threw himself forward on the neck
of his mare and jammed his spur with
cruel force into her ribs, while he drew
his revolver and held it ready for use
the instant the necessity should arise.
The rifle aimed at the rider rang ont,
but though the shot grazed his head he
was unframed.
"Now. Fanny, do your best. Ny fate
rests with you'll"
And Fanny did do her best. She was
going like an arrow along the margin
Of the cotton field toward the drowsy
mansion and the winding highway be-
yond. Had she darted into the wood on
her left she might have distracted the
aim Of her masters enemies, but she
would have become inextricably involv-
I'd among the trees and uudsrgrowth.
She preferred the open, with its great
or peril, for 1t was there that her sup
pie limbs had full play, and never did
she do her duty more CALAMITY.
But those graybaefs knew how to
shoot Nothing would have been east |
or than to have brought DOWN the marc,
thus securing the rider, but every south
srner is a prime judge Of hosssnssh,
and their purpose was to obtain both
man and aulmal. Lisytsnent oakmsn |

Governors OF States.

Washington. Aug. 1.-THE secretary
Of war, this afternoon. issued an APP
peal To governors Of states FOR ala for
the storm sufferers in Porto Rico. He
states that lit appears that the devas-
tation wrought by the recent hurri-
cane in that island is even greater

dent that a great multitude Of people
rendered utterly destitute by this aw-
full calamity must be fed and cared for
during considerable period until they
can have the opportunity to produce
food for themselves. The magnitude
Of the work To be accomplished leads
the department To supplement the APP
peal already made to the mayors Of
the principal cities of the country. by
more general appeal. and | beg you
TO ask the people of your state to con-
tribute generously To the people OF

navy desired Ia cooperate in every
way il could in rendering assistance
to the storm stricken people Of Porto
Rico. and rendering a Warship to be
placed at the disposal Of the war de-
partment if it was desired to convey
supplies to the island. The offer
doubtless will be accepted. as every
available means is being adopted TO
hurry along the great stock of sup
plies which, is imperatiyely needed.

a view to having a ship ready as soon

CONGReSSMAN FOSS
Says the Kaiser Did Not Male the Utterance
Attributed TO Him.

London, Aug. 14.-Congrcssman Ed
mund Foss Of Chicago, who is at pres
ent in this city. was asked, today. by
4 representative Of The Associated
Press about the interview which he
had with Emperor William of Ger
many on board the imperial yacht
HohenZollern at Kiel, Aug. ,. He said
that His Majesty in the interview re-
ferred 10. had not made the remark
that German Americans would not per-
init an aggressive policy on the part Of
the United States toward Germany and
that nothing Of this kind had been
mentioned. However, il was gathered
from the conversation with Nj. Foss
that the remainder Of the interview
with Emperor William. as published
in the German newspapers and cabled
10 The Associated Press, was correct
Mr.. F'oss said he regarded the con-
versation with His Majesty as conf
Dental and would not give any of it
for publication. except to say that En-
peror William expressed the kindliest
feelings towards the United States and
was in no way influenced by the news
paper reports in regard to the Dewey
interview and other matters.
Mr.. Foss expressed great admiration
for the Emperor and said that his
keeness in the matter of naval ques-
tons was remarkable.
