One of the most important pieces of
news by the steamer which brought
word that the bill had passed describes
conference of steamship and railroad
men in San Francisco to readjust the
transPaclfic and the trans-continental
traffic. The OBJECT is to divert the traf-
tic between the Orient md inland points
In the United States from the Suez
canal route to the trans-Pacific route.
The trans-continental roads purpose TO
fix such a rate as will start the trans
portation OF commerce going to Asia
westward from its inland origin, and to
start all return commerce eastward
from its Asiatlc origin. The same
principle applies to the trade of
the entire West, from Chicago to Los
Angeles. with New Zealand, Australia.
the Philippines and the STRAITS Settle
ments. These men wish to distribute
this trade from Coast ports instead of
from Atlantic ports. This is a great is
sue; upon It's result depends the share
OF our cottons. machinery. railway ma
terials and other manufactures, which
will be handled at San Francisco. Ha-
wallis interest in this fight between the
and the Eastern lines
Is too obvious to require comment.

The results of the summer trip of the

will be watched with interest. Between
900 and 600 of them, it is said. will at
tend the summer school at Harvard,
and will also travel to some extent be-
fore returning to their own country.
Mr.. Frye expects to send about forty
five per cent of the teachers to the Unit
ed States, the Others being of necessity
disappointed. 1t is an exceedingly good
sign that every teacher in the island
wants to go, because it shows that they
desire to learn something about the
great Republic at first hand, and that
they are broad-minded and willing to
be enlightened. Latin races are apt to
be cock sure OF their own superiority.
The hope of Cuba rests in the educators
of the younger generation. The Har-
ward summer school is a fearfully
dreary place. and New York in the
silly season" is not exciting, but at
least good beginning will be made in
Cuba to her stepmother.

Lord Clyde and Lady Roberts.

In an article on Lord Roberts by Mr..
Alexander Macintosh in the woman at
Home for March, an incident between
Mrs. Roberts, as she then was, and Lord
Clyde is recalled. Early in his married
life Roberts was disappointed by not be-
ing sent on the China expedition, but
Lord Clyde, at a diner at the Cann-
nings, claimed the gratitude of his spouse
for not sending him. 'I suppose" he
said, by way of explanation to the puz-
zled lady, you would rather not be left
in foreign country along few months
after your marriage" This was too much
for Mrs. Roberts. "You have done your
best" she retorted, "to make my hus-
band regret his marriage" Lord Clyde
was amazed. "Well, I'll be hanged if
can understand you women!' he ex-
claimed The lady was soon appeased,
however, and she and the fine old soldier
became great friends.

WHERE IS The BIKE COP !?

Riders of bicycles and drivers frequent
ing the Greenville section of the Hudson
County Boulevard seem to have unusual
privileges of late. The ordinance pro-
hibiting fast driving is in many cases un-
needed. Frequent impromptu races, while
affording pleasure and excitement to the
participants, place the lives and limbs Of
other patrons of the road in danger.
1t is no unusual sight, especially at
night, to see a group of cyclists scorching
down the road with much shouting and
ringing of bells to secure a clear road. OF
course there is a general scramble for
cover The bicycle cop is not even con-
sidered. AS arrests for fast driving are
never made, it must be inferred that the
fast riding is done when no bicycle cop
is around. Cyclists do not pay much at
tention to the ordinance. relating to the
carrying of lights, and now almost any
night cyclists can be seen riding along un-
disturbed without lights.

PLASTERERS STRIKE.
Will Not Work on Jobs With
National Men.

At meeting of the Building Trades
Council, held last evening at No. II Ho-
bolsen avenue, it was decided to call out
all members of the allied organizations
the Trades Council and the Operative
Plasterer9-on all work on which National
Plasterers are employed.
Business Agetn Conroy was placed in
charge of the situation with authority
to Sc that all members quit work at once
and hold out until their demand for 81
per day is complied with. This order
was put in force this morning and ali
pIasterers of these organizations have
stopped work on all buildings where men
of the national Organization are employ
ed.
Some time ago the two allied organiza-
tions adopted a schedule of "a per day.
They have since been continually en-
deavoring to induce the National Plaster
ers to adopt the same wages, but the
National Plasterers are willing to accept
$50 per day and have refused to demand
the advance with the result of practically
giving the National organization men the
control of the work in North Hudson.
Sevral meeting have ben held but all
efforts to induce the Nationalists to ar
rive at a uniform schedule price proved
union that the call out of all members of
the allied organizations will materially
effect the work throughout the northern
part of the county that their demand will
be quickly met.

MRS. lSsAcS WINS.
Woe Chancellor Says He Believes
Nothing the Zemans Say.


Vice-C Chancellor Piney decided the cele-
brated Isaacs case yesterday by giving
Mrs. Isaacs a decree. This is the case
which is said to have grown out of a
broken marriage engagement. Mrs Sarah
Isaacs brought suit to foreclose mort
gage on plot of ground in Bayonne, now
owned by Leopold Zeman. Leopold took
title from his brother Simon. Simon was
engaged to marry Marie, the daughter OF
Mrs. Isaacs, but the engagement was
broken off, and each party was given a
formal release, releasing them from all
promises made on account of the engage
ment. Leopold produced the release to
his brother Simon, in which was included
a clause releasing the mortgage on the
Bayonne property. This Mrs. Isaacs
claims was included in the release after
she had executed.
The Vice Chancellor was emphatic in his
denunciation of the Zemans, three of
whom were sworn. 1.-THE evidence on the
part of the defendants is wilfully false. l
believe nothing any of them says He
held that the clause releasing the mort
gage was a forgery. The whole defense,
he declared, was a fraud, and he said he
would send the release to the Grand Jury.

cause Her Husband is Not 8
Reconciled.

Mary Smith, twenty-eight years old, of
No. 166 Provost street, committed suicide
late last night by drinking the contents of
a bottle of carbolic acid. She separated
from her husband, who is an employe OF
the Delaware, Laekawanna & Western
Railroad Company and lives in Hoboken.
She expected that a reconciliation would
be brought about last Saturday afternoon.
The failure of her husband to meet her
according to promise bitterly disappointed
her and she grew melancholy. last night
she decided to end her sorrow by death.
She lived in a one story shanty run as
candy store by Mrs. Classy. The emp
ty bottle from which she drank the deadly
fluid was found by her bedside. 1t was la
beled carbolic acid. Her mouth and chin
were dreadfully burned.
