IMPROVEMENT ASSOCIATION MET
Elected officers For the Coming Year
.-The Western Boulevard.

The annual meeting and election of
officers of the Hudson City Improvement
Association was held at the associations S
headquarters, Oakland and Beacon ave-
nues, last night. Several matters of gen.
eral interest were discussed
Among other items of business trans
acted was the passage of a resolution
protesting against the nomination by
either political party of candidate for
Street and Water Commissioner who is III
any manner connected with railroad
companies. The passage of this resolu-
ton is supposed to be aimed at the eff
fort being made in the Horseshoe dis
trict to have John Sullivan nominated.
Mr.. Sullivan is a superintendent in the
employ of the Erie Railroad Company.
FIRST Vice President Robert Muir, who
presided, refused from the start to en-
tertain such resolution. He called at
tention to the fact that the constitution
and bylaws forbade discussions of q
political character, and did not allow at
fairs political to enter into the work OF
the association An appeal, however, was
made from his decision, and the resolu-
ton was passed over Mr.. Muir's head,
with only two dissenting votes.
A letter was read frem Mayor Hoos
assuring the association that every pre-
caution had been taken against pollution
of the new water supply.
Another letter was received from the
Jefferson Club complimenting the work
of the association in connection with the
rearing of No. 26 School.
Some time ago the association made a

avenue extension. It has since been
ascertained that the specifications for the
improvement did not call for bridge
stones, Messrs. H Reese and August
Bodler were appointed a committee to see
City Engineer Van Keuren about the mat
ter
Nicholas Witsch reported that Street
and Water Commissioner Heintze had told
him that the Improvement of Palisade
avenue, between Newark and Hoboken
avenues, would be completed in June.
J. NJ Kelly reported that he had had
talk with City Engineer Van Keuren
concerning the widening of Ferry street
and said that Mr. Van Keuren said that
the improvement could be easily accom-
plished.
A resolution offered by Hugh r, Sheri-
dan was passed, calling for the oo-opera-
ton of Haboken and North Hudson I'm
nrovement Association In the matter of
securing the proposed northern route of
the Western Boulevard as suggested as
far as the Hackensack River.
The election of officers for the ensuing
year resulted as follows:-W. F. Farmer,

By way of comment upon our note
about the appearance of butterflies in
December, says the Westminster Ca
zette, an chronological correspondent
points out that 1t does not seem to be
generally known that several of our
species of British butterflies hibernate
and appear during the winter when the
weather is genial enough to tempt them
from their hiding places. The birthstone
butterfly Is the most frequently noticed,
may be occasionally seen, including
beth varieties of the tortoiseshell the
Peacock and the Camberwell Beauty
These are often taken for snrIag insects.
They are, in fact late GUNNER and au-
tumn flies; and the numbers of them seen
during the spYing months are those which
have survived the winter.

The British Parliament, after re-
sorting to the cloture, which stopped
debate and forced vote, passed the
appropriations and other measures
for the war on the Transvaal. The
cloture and rigid enforcement of the
rules silenced opposition, but the
votes by which the requests of the
Government were passed do not in
dictate unaniinity or enthusiasm, as
on no question did as many as two
thirds of the members vote, thus
placing the responsibility wholly
upon the Tories. The opposition
denied the privilege of debate, sug-
gestion or explanation, declined
generally to vote, the nays not ex-
ceeding forty.

with his regiment in the fighting
line of advance and speaks from his
personal observation. In fact, he
exonerates the soldiers of both the
American and Filipino armies. He
says the looting and damage to
churches and other property was by

follow the armies for plumber, gen.

opportunity when the Filipinos
evacuated towns and before the

As the Transvaal has no


AS the Transvaal has no COM
munication with the outside world
except through means under Eng
lish control and the censorship is
rigidly enforced, the war news is
meager and delayed several days
before it is given out. From this
it would seem that the beleaguered
condition Of the British troops has
not improved in the past fifteen
days despite the claim of English
victories at Mafeking and Glencoe.
In the meantime English troops are
being hurried to Africa, the reserves
have been called into service and
$4,000 militia are being recruited.
All of which from London looks
anything but favorable for the Eng
lish in Africa.

The proposition of the Polytech-
mic Society to turn over their libra
ry to the city, now pending before
the Council, should be rejected. A
public library supported by the city
may be proper, but the city should
own and control what it pays for.
The Polytechnic Society agrees to
allow the use of its library for five
years, but retains control of it, in
return for specified tax levy. At
the end of that time the library is
to become the property of the city,
provided the Legislature will author
ize the Polytechnic Society to sell,
and then the library is to be con-
trolled by board of thirteen men,
bers, seven of whom are to be
named by the Polytechnic Society.
A contract dependent on future leg
islation, and which permits the
seller to still retain control of the
goods sold, hardly gives title on
which it is wise or just for the city
TO tax its people to pay for. That
proposition is loaded. The Polytech-
mic Society can't lose; the city is
only certain of one thing-the privi-
lege of paying over $4,000 year
to the Polytechnic Society to run
their library in the name of the city
for FIVE years, or indefinitely if the
Legislature consents.

for treaties and arbitration. Her
representatives at the recent Hague
conference urged and the confer
ence finally approved this mode of
adjusting disputes between nations
and avoiding war where possible.
In Parliament last week member
moved that as England had entered
into a treaty with the Transvaal
Government which provided for
arbitration of differences and the
Transvaal had offered to arbitrate,
that the war be stopped and the
differences between the British and
Transvaal Governments be referred
to arbitration. 1t was voted down
after a hot debate, in which Mr..
Chamberlain, Secretary of State for
the Colonies, was directly charged
with duplicity and causing the war.
Mr.. Chamberlain denied the charge,
manifesting anger and using Ian
guage which the Speaker required
him to withdraw, but refused to al
low the reading of a letter from
him to Mr.. Hawkesley, which, it is
claimed, proves the charge.

The law requiring gates and
watchmen at railroad crossings
leaves to the city authorities the
designation of where they shall be
placed. This is wise, as every one
knows it is not necessary to have
them at all railroad crossings. The
authorities, however, are sometimes
lax in this matter. The railroad
along the canal to Portland and
southwark through Falkland is used
by the Southern, the Daisy and
trains passing over the Portland
bridge. There are no gates or
watchmen at any of the streets it
crosses, though increasing traffic
and several accidents suggest they
should be at Eighteenth and TWEEN
ty-sixth street bridges, Twenty
ninth and Portland avenue, Thir-
tieth and Market, Thirtieth and
Chestnut and Thirtieth and Broad
way. The latest casualty is the
killing of Mr.. James Malone at the
Eighteenth street bridge, which
could not have happened bad there
been a gate and Waterman there.
At all the places mentioned there is
travel day and night across this
railroad, and the city should order
gates and watchmen at those places.

limed, proves the charge.

The American newspapers will
get the wal news inspite of the fact
that England controls all the Afri-
can telegraph lines and maintains a
strict censorship at both ends. No
matter how, the American newspa-
pers get there. Dispatches, not via
London, to the American papers
show that the English victories were
really overwhelming defeats; that
the English evacuated Glencoe bare
ly in time to escape southwark to-
ward Ladysmith; that the Beers
were bombarding Dundee; that
kimberley and N -wefeeiiese~
ly invested by the Beers and all
communication with the English
garrisons cut off ten days ago; and
finally that another Boer army is
advancing from the east and the
Orange Free State troops from the
west to attack Ladysmith or cut
off the English retreat southwark.
Quite different from the meager and
stale news via London.
