Leader Mckee Backs Mr..
King With Resolutions
To Pay the Naval
Reserve.

Especial to 1.-THE Jersey City News"
TRENTON, Feb. 16, 1S99-When Clerk
Jones called the roll of the House, yester-
day afternoon, thirty-five Assemblymen
answered to their names. Another
avalanch of remonstrances from churches
and Temperatures societies against the
passage of billie Thompson's park
license bill was received. Leader Mckee
offered a long resolution which created
considerable surprise as it reflected some-
what on Governor Voorhees,. 1t began
with a whereas, setting forth that when
President Mckinley called for volunteers
with the war of Spain, over 5000 Jersey
men responded and although through n
fault of theirs they failed to see active
service, yet they suffered untold hard
ships in camps totally untitled for human
habitation, being without food and shelter
until sickness and death decimated their
ranks far worse han Spanish bullets
would have done
Whereas, While the New Jersey Vol
unteer soldiers were in service, a promise
was made them that they would be
adequately compensated for their SER
vices, which promises is yet unfulfilled,
though the party and persons who made
the same are at the head of the present
State government and in position ena-
bling them to fulfill the pledge made.
Whereas, Many of the New Jersey
Volunteer soldier who left their families,
business and places of employment in
to their country's call to take
up arms In defense of its homo and its
flag, on returning found themselves in
debt and their places of employment oc-
cupied by others, which state of affairs
very naturally entailed ~hardships. which
have been augmented by the extremely
vigorous winter"
The resolution then commends the King
bill which provides for the yme by
the State Of s125 to each volunteer in the
war, hanks Mr.. King for introduce
ing the bill, asks the Chairman of the
on Appropriations to report
the same fayorably at the earliest posi-
BILE and urges the House to pass
he bill, after giving the volunteers a pub
lie hearing.
