AS to food supplies, General Sternherp

frigerated beef and says that at that time
there were on file only two complaints a 9

made by medical officers, he saws. is that

OF THE PHILIPPINES
Were Not Coded Because of the Igno-
rance Of the Spanish-American
Peace Commissioners.

MADRID. Nov. 14-In the Spanish
Senate to-day Senior Montero Rios, reply
ing to Count Almenas, who recently de-
clared that owing to the ignorance of the
Spanish-American peace treaty COM
missioners three islands of the Philip
pine group-the two Battanos and Gala
yam island, both north of Luzon-were
not included in the scope of the treaty,
said the islands referred to were not
ceded because they belonged to japan
and were not claimed by the Americans.
Senior Rios urged the Premier. Sekor
Silvela. to demand a fulhllment by the
Americans of their engagements under
the treaty providing for commercial i'd
vantages 20 Spain in the Philippines
Senior Silvela replied that difficulties had
arisen in the execution of those stipu.a-
tons in the treaty doubtless because
the Americans had not yet fully es-
tablished their way in the Philippines.

READING FOR THE YOUNG.
Discussed at Yesterdays Meeting OF
the Education Committee.

Reading for the Young" was the sub
ject Of the Educational Department of
the Woman's Club yesterday afternoon at
Hasbrouck Institute. Miss Webber read
a paper on the subject, which was fol-
lowed by an open discussion wherein
were learned many things about how a
child should be raine to read, with a
long list of books for his educational
amusement.
Miss Weber, in her paper, first spoke
of the influence of books upon character
and of the neglect of parents in supply
ing their children with the proper kind
of literature. She compared the literature
of today's childhood to that of some years
ago, when she said there were only such
books as Robinson Crusoe' and a few
others which We're considered the thing
for the unmatured mind, while today
there was a long list of juvenile books
and Juvenile writer's among whom num-
bered some of our best authors. as Kip
ling and Louisa Alcott.
Some years ago." said she, 1T was
thought that anybody could write books
for children. With Louise Alcott the
new era began, until today writing for
the young is an art. 1t is not well to
wait till children are grown before they
are allowed to read older books. They
shoul be given the abridged editions of
the various works. You must first arouse
an interest in the child for a certain book
and then give him the work, We cannot
overestimate the value the Jersey City
Library is to the children" The way in
which books were sent to the various
schools in packages Of fifty or SO, was
then discussed, with their influence upon
the children,
Miss Lillian Fuller also read a short
magazine article on the cooperation of
parents and teachers. and the meeting
adjourned to assemble again April 20.

LEGISLATIVE ROUTINE
Jersey City's School Rebuilding Bill
Passes Both Houses.

Especial to .sThe Jersey City News."l
TRENTON, March II, 1S99.--Both
Houses worked like Trojans yesterday
after they had talked themselves out and
passed many bills.
Mr.. Marnell had trouble with his bill
authorizing the consolidation of Weehaw-
ken and Hoboken and the measure sas
lost in spite of the ~eloquenee of the gem
tleman from Hoboken.
The bill advocated by Mrs. Emily E.
Williamson of Elizabeth, providing for a
Board of Children's Guardians, slipped
through the House in spite of the OPPOSE
ton of many good citizens. The Senate
bill authorizing each party to awe two
challengers at the polls on election day
passed the House and SO did the Senate
joint resolution authorizing the Governor
to appoint a commission to ascertain
what must be done to save the Palisades
from further mutilation.
The Senate passed the House bill au-
thorizing the Jersey City Board of FL
nance to raise money for the rebuilding of
Public School No. 20 recently destroyed
by fire. The other bills passed related to
towns and townships.
Mr.. Stokes introduced a bill abolishing
the engrossing department of the Legis-
Iature. and Mr.. McDefmott introduced
one providing for the condemnation Of
lands by water companies, said to be for
Jersey City's new water plant. In the
House these new bills were introduced
Mr.. Wakelee-Makes the kissing of the
Bible in taking oaths unnecessary.
Mr.. Benny-Amends the act relative to
the assessment of the improvements made

ty Boulevard.
Mr.. Benny-Abolishes capital punishment

OPPOSE SECESSION.
Harrison Citizens Appear Be-
fore the House Commit
tee.
Especial to ..The Jersey cIty Newg.ol

Especial to faThe Jersey City News."J
TRENTON. March II, 1894 delegation
from Harrison and Jersey City appear
ed before the House Committee on Towns
and Townships to oppose Mr.. Bruder's
bill for the cessation of Harrison and
Kearny and East Newark to Essex
County. From Harrison there were
William Davis, Martin Lawless, Police
Justice; John Callahan, Chief of Police,
and Edward J. Grace, Town Treasurer.
Jersey City was represented by Flavel
MCGEE, Alex Mclean, Spencer Weart, and
~Assemblyman Murphy. Assemblyman
Bruder and Mayor Edward Kenny of
East Newark, We're the only advocates
of the bill present. Alex Mclean and
Flavel MCGEE spoke against the measure.
Mr.. MCGEE said that the townships men
toned in the bill should be compelled to
pay something toward the cost of the
Boulevard if they were allowed to
seeede.
The hearing was very short owing to
the fact that it began a half hour before
the time for opening the House and a
committee cannot sit while the House is
in session. The Jersey City people asked
for another hearing and Chairman Klein.
who is a friend of the measure said that
he asked Mr.. Murphy if the Jersey City
people wanted to be heard on the bill and
he said no.
Mr.. Murphy said the chairman had mis-
understood him or he misunderstood the
chairman. He understood Mr.. Klein to
ask him if he personally wanted to be
heard and the. replied no" that he would
do his talking on the floor. There will
be another hearing.
The House Committee on Revision of
Laws gave another hearing on Mr.. Yards
bill for the care of children by orphan
asylums. Ex-Judge William M. Lanning
appeared before the committee and made
a strong argument in favor of the bill.
One of his principal points was that the
Williamson bill for the care of dependent
children, which has quite some bearing
on the Yard measure, placed an unneces-
sary burden or the State, giving it super
vision of these children and providing for
their support by the State where they are
now supported by other means. The
House at the afternoon session, passed
House No. 102, or, as it is better knowa,
the Williamson measure, which authorizes
the Governor to appoint a State Board of
Children's Guardians, who shall haye the
care and supervision over all helpless, in
digent. dependent, abandoned and friend
less children and those ~adjudged public
charges.

Mr.. McDermott administered a merited
rebuke. of a practical kind, to President
Reed of the Senate. yesterday There is
no room in this State for the system OF
bulldozing which has made the name OF
Reed notorious from one end of the coun-
try to the other. Our Senators and AS
semblymen are semitic Trenton to speakfor
the people. and their right to do so should
be questioned or assailed by no one, least
of all by one of themselves whom they
select as their presiding officer, not to
dictate to them but to preserve their
rights.
The right of the minority to be heard is
especially sacred. The minority can do its
duty towards the people in no other way
than by placing it's own policy and by
contrast that of the majority, on record.
The power of the presiding officer, the
power of either House itself should never
be exercised to curtail this right. for as
soon as the right of criticism is dimin-
ished, the form of parliamentary govern
ment is distorted. n its character as
representation of popular opinion and will
Is destroyed.
Mr.. MeDermott. in defiance of Speaker
Reeds mandate, in defiance OF the Ser
geant-at-Arms. menacing him with per-
sonai assault. went on and said what he
had to say in behalf of the State and the
people. He was pleading their cause
against further spoliation of the riparian
lands, which are the richest part of the
public domain. Before his determination,
and the evident rectitude of his cause,
the tools of corporation power were i'm
potent. Mr.. MoDermott said his say. He
placed himself and the Democracy on
record as the champions of the people,
and he put the baffled, beaten President
and his party on record, as standing for
a policy of plumber.
