Before Mr.. Flood had concluded his
remarks, Private Secretary Owen sub
mitted the following communication from
the Governor:
TO the Senate.-I have received a petf-
ton signed by a majority of the members
of your body requesting me to withhold
my signature from House bill 5o3. provid-
ing for THE appointment of Commission
ers of Valuation and defining their duties
I have also received a strong personal
request from members of the House, in
cluding the Chairman of the Finance
Committee and some members of the
Senate. requesting me not to let the bill
die. In view of these conflicting requests,
and also because feel it to be my duty
not to defeat legislation by Withholding
my signature unless the measure Is pal
pably in violation Of good policy or clear
~ unconstitutional. 1 have decided to
sign the bill at once, thus giving the
General Assembly an opportunity TO
amend or repeal the act if in their judS-
,nent it is desirable or necessary.

CHRYSANTHEMUM THE RAGE.
Typical Flower of Japan Is Trium-
phnnt in Parisian
Circles.

There is one flower of autumn
which is triumphant in Paris in
every sense just now-the chrysau-
themum. The chrysanthemum is the
typical flower of Japan. The pres
ence in Paris of greater number of
natives of the rising sun than any
European capital has hitherto con-
tanned at any one time has procured
for us at the japanese pavilion in the
exposition the delights of a festival
delicate, exquisite in taste-the fes-
tival of the chrysanthemum.
Marvellous flowers were displayed,
and one branch with more than 100
flowers upon it was presented to Nine.
Loubet, who was very much pleased
with this far eastern tribute.
1t appears that, owing to their size
and weight, these flowers are excld-
ed from the feminine toilet. Sarah
Bernhardt was the first, some wears
ago, in Sardou's drama. "Gismonda."
to hit upon the idea of wearing as her
sole coitfure two enormous mauve-
colored flowers, which she stuck one
above each ear. There was a general
cry of astonishment and admiration
when she appeared upon the stage,
and for a time the coiffure a la Gis-
monda was all the rage. Then society
entered its hostile decree.

TO SPEND MILLIONS,
North German Lloyd Steamship Com.
pnny to Have Finest Steamship
Terminal in World

Hoboken is to be again the home Of
the North German Lloyd Steamship
company, and at a cost of several mil
lion dollars what is promised as "the
finest steamship terminal in the
world" will be constructed. Action
taken by the New Jersey state board
of riparian commissioners removes
the last serious difficulty, and with
the formal approval of their action
by the attorney general the plans now
being prepared will at once be put
into execution. While the desira bility
of terminal on the New York side
of the river was appreciated. the diff
ficulty of finding suitable water
frontage for its dockage and piers
made it impossible to overlook the adj
vantage of more room on the Ho-
bokcn side. A duplication of the four
docks and piers destroyed in the July
disaster would not at all meet the re-
quirements for the company's trans
Atlantic fleet as augmented by the
two monster liners now in course Of
construction at the Vulcan iron
works, Stcttin. Each of these vessels
will require berth more roomy than
even the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse,
The larger, Kaiser Wilhelm H.. is to
have beam of 20 feet, while the
length. FOG feet, is greater than that
of any vessel now afioat.

THE REApPORTIoNMENr.
Census FiEures to he Used In Fixing
Representation of the states
In Congress-

Again attention is being given the
congressional reapportionment. and
Director of the Census Merriam called
at the white house and advised the
president that The figu.fs OF the total
population of the United States are in
such shape as to be at tie disposal of
congress when it reconvenes Under
the law the reapportionment follow
ing the twelfth census must become
operative in 1908, the first election on
the new basis being held in November,
1902. Congress will pass a reappor-
tionment act, and then it will be
necessary for the state legislatures to
rearrange their congressional dis
tricts in time for the next election.
just what basis congress will adopt
is not known. but it is certain that
the ratio will be increased over the
present rate of 173,901. Should con-
gress place the ratio at 2O9 900 the
house would stand in numbers as now,
but some of the states would lose in
representation. At $4,000 it is esti-
mated that no state would lose any
representation, and the membership
of the house would be increased con-
siderably. With 100000 as the basis,
however, there would be a gain of
about IS seats. but Maine. Virginia,
Nebraska and Kansas would lose rep
resentation.
Congress began with ratio of one
representative to every 10000 inhab-
itants, giving a total of 65 members.
This was increased under each CEN
sus until the tenth census caused the
representation to he fixed at one
member for every Isl, ,911 inhabitants,
thus giving 325 members in the house.
The eleventh census ran the number
up to 173.9O1 and gave 357 members.

Sheldon lines, as regular institution.
A. E. Clarke of Wimbledon is to be the
editor. The paper is to be sold for

Sheldon effort with favor, he thinks
the Topeka Capital falls short of what
a religious Journal should be. The Oh
ject of the newcomer is prominently
set forth in the first pages as follows:
1.-The idea of this journal is to advo-
cate daily with all fearlessness and
candor return to those first principles
of our Christian profession from which
we have SO grossly departed, to pro-
mote mediation, to encourage criticism
and discussion, and to do the utmost
possible to supply good daily with
