The question Of the hour in interna-
tonal politics is China. Around its ad-
3ustment will revolve the most important
results. The indications at this time are
that new alignment Of the powers is
about to be made. If Great Britain rail
1es the attitude of refusal to withdraw
troops taken by Germany, which is quite
probable, and the United States adheres
to its original position in favor of the
most speedy withdrawal consistent with
safety. the powers will be divided ON the
Oriental question with France, Russia and
the United States on one side and Great
Britain, Germany, Austria, Japan, and. in
all probability, Italy, acting together.
This is an extension of the triple al
lance with the addition of Japan and
England, leaving Russia and France al
lied as TO China, as they are regarded as
being on al other questions of interna-
tional Importance.
There is no conclusive reason for believ-
Ing that the present situation will con-
tinue for any considerable length of time
All the powers are united in favor of
peace, with the possible exception of
Germany. The peace negotiations which
have been under consideration will no
doubt evcntuate in some agreement Of a
temporary nature, which will be generally
acceptable. For, unless there is a well
defined purpose on the part Of the dis
senting powers to promote immediate or
at least ultimate partition, the withdraw
al of the bulk of the foreign armies from
China is unavoidable.
The progress of events is big with i'm
portant consequences. European diplo-
macy has been extremely active and re-
sourcsful in all the occurrences Of the
past few months. The reported outbreak
In Southern China will be found to have
behind it the wish of one or more Of the
powers. with which it may be regarded as
father to the thought It is not regarded
rs desirable on the part Of those powers
to withdraw, or. for the present at least,
10 call into existence any such conditions

Roosevelt arrived at this city ats O'Clock

street demonstration. Tonight he spoke
in the Auditorium, which was crowded to
it's utmost capacity, and later made a
brief speech in Powers theater. During

Roosevelt made eight speeches, begin

and ending at Hastings at o'clock. The
crowds at the various stopping places
during the day were large, apprecia tive

is pleased with his Western reception,
although he complains that he is greatly
overworked. He says that while his
health is robust and his strength equal
to any ordinary demand, he will be glad

JOSEPH KELLY DEAD.
He Represented the Second District
in the Legislature for Two Terms

Ex-Assemblyman Joseph T. Kelly died
this morning at his residence, No. $40
York street. His death was the result of
a complication of diseases.
Mr.. Kelly was probably one of the best
known men in Jersey City, having re-
sided in this city all his life. He was born
December IA, 1849. In his early life he
was engaged in mercantile pursuits, and
in 1883 he was elected member of the
New Jersey State Legislature as the
Democratic representative from the Sec
ond Legislative District. He served two
terms, with such colleagues as Register
elect James G. Clarke, Frank O. Cole,
Dennis Mclaughlin and Colonel Samuel
d. Dickinson.
At these terms of the Legislature he
served as Chairman of the Committee on
Unfinished Business and member of the
Committee on Commerce and Navigation
Mr. Kelly continued in business until re-
Gently, when he was appointed to a re-
sponsible. position in the Brooklyn Navy
Yard, which position he held until his
death.
He was a prominent member of the
Robert Davis Association, and he had a
host of friends in all sections of the city,
who will deeply regret his loss. Mr.
Kelly leaves a widow and a large family
of grown children.
The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1900-02-09
M'DERMOTT'S OPINION.

Mr.. McDermott replied that his opinion
was that if the city did not exercise it's
option next Tuesday it could do so five
years from now. He said the reason for
holding an election next Tuesday was not
forced by the contract but by law. A
municipal board is empowered to con-
tract for a water supply, but the city
cannot buy water works without first sub
mdtting the question to vote of the
people.
AS to the validity of the contract thus
far made Mr.. MdDermott called attention
to the fact that it had been fought in the
courts for one year. A year ago. he said,
it was claimed that the contract would
be set aside. The ground on which it was
assailed was that the city had obtained
certain rights in excess of what the con-
tract called for.
He called attention to the dact that the
minimum number OF gallons to be sup
piled was Is, 100000. That amount would
have to be paid for whether the city was
metered or not. He figured it out that
even on that basis by purchasing the
plant on its completion the city saved
$24 600 year. He also alluded to the
great surplus at the disposal of the city.
manufacturers to locate here, a matter of
much importance in these days of sharp
municipal competition.
you can't bring them here" he said
unless you offer them better inducements
than other cities.'' He believed the city
should be metered so that some people
would not have to pay for what others
consumed. Mr.. McDermott then referred
to the covert threat in Mr., Wards state
ment.
Mr.. Wards paper he said, was the re-
suit of Mr.. Ward S understanding of the
law. When Newark decided to go up in
to the mountains for water III found 1t had
to encounter the opposition Of every far
mer or stream owner there, but by ma
jority of one the Court of Errors and APP
peals decided that the city had the power
of condemnation. He explained chat ss
matters stand now the city sias only the
privilege Of loaning it's power Of .cofdeln-
nation for twenty-five years. Unless the
plant was purchased on its coItpie iau 1T
would have no power to conden,D liter
twenty-five years. The men who ex<
pressed the opinion submitted by Mr..
Ward would rather Sc the people Of tits
city go back to the polluted Pas2ic, and
that was what was back of that legal
proposition
Mr.. McDernott vehemently declared
that by purchasing the plant on compile
tion the city was not increasing her
debt, because she was increasing her as
sets by buying the plant. In round num-
bers 81 SOC, 900 OF bonds would be issued
against q plant that was new property
acquired. Hwould be 9 case Of the pres
