NEW JERSEY LEGISLATURE.
Single Appropriation Measure to
he Introduced Tonight.

lie introduced Tonight.
TRENTON, y. J., Jan. 1.-THE Legisla-
ture Will begin the second week of its
session tonight with a single bill before
it, that Of Senator Hutchinsons. Of Mer-
Ger The MEASURE provides for an annual
State appropria tion of $500 COO instead Of
$50 600, for stone roads. but il would not
iut redse the number Of miles of read
built annually. The proposed law simply
doubles the State appropriation and en-
acts that in future the State pay two
thirds and the county one-third OF he
building OF every mile OF road, while at
the same time il continues the control Of
The road contract in the county.
There is some talk of the Governor
naming Supreme Court judge tonight TO
succeed the late justice Ludlow, and the
name of Charles II. Hendrickson. Of Bur
liRgtOn county, ROW lay judge of the Court
OF Errors and Appeals, is being freely
mentioned in connection with the honor.
Judge Hendriekson is an old school Demo
crat and comes from that section IF the
State the Governor is anxious to have rep
resented On the bench. There are numer-
Gus prospective changes in the judiciary
in view of both of the procedure and per-
scnnel of the bench. The Governor will
undoubtedly take some steps toward sim
plIfying the procedure and would not be
surprised If both Chancellor Magic and
Chief Justice Depue quit the bench Both
men are advancing in years and have de-
voted the greater part of their lives 10
the States affairs. Chief Justice Depue
has served thirty-five years on the Su-
preme Bench. The duties Of chancellor
are great and very exacting- OF course,
both Chief Justice Dep,se and Chancellor
Magic will be reappointed. but rumor has

Since all the details of recently prevail
ing cowardice and brutality of upper
classmen at West Point in hstic encoun-
ters with young "plebes" have been
brought out by the Congressional Commit
tee, it is satisfactory TO observe that army
officers are not as strongly endorsing the
practice as formerly. Fighting. even with
bare knuckIes and TO finish. might pos
sibly be tolerated If the conditions We're
equal and one of the contestants had ex-
actly IS good q chance to win as the other.
There is a great deal of that kind of dis
cussiOn in the British army. but little
light weight recruits are never pitted
against seasoned and heavy weight vete-
rams. For such abnormal and contempti-
bic cruelty IS the evidence at West Point
has disclosed. there is really no adequate
or appropriate punishment but the whip

The River and Harbor Loot.

All River and Harbor bills are fragrant
enough. but the country is so used 10 the
custom Of taking millions of taxpayers

Is only because 1t is unusually and start
ingly barefaced and impudent in its raid

well be helped, as the present River and

save on the part Of statesmen who are
resentful because members Of the COM

their less favored colleagues denounce as
greedy and gorging manner. For instance,

DEMOCRATS ORJECT.
Think They Should Have the Seat
Given Mr.. McComas.

The democratic senat ators are somewhat
exercised over the assignment of a seat on
the democratic side of the chamber to Sem
ator McComas, republican senator from
Maryland. BY common consent the demo-
Gratis have from time immemorial occupied
the seats on the right Of the presiding
officer and the republicans those to the left.
Now, however, the republicans are so large
ly in the majority that # has become neces-
sary to pace some of them on the demo
cratic side, but they were placed in the
least desirable seats. A rule of the Senate,
however. assigns to the first senator ask
ing for ii any vacant seat and, acting un-
der this rule, Senator McComas filed upon
Senator Buffers seat when he saw that 10
would be vacated, and it was accordingly
assigned to him. The seat is the best on
the democratic side, being In the front row
and Immediately facing the presiding OFF,
Ger. The democratic senators considered
the disposal of the seat one of their
prerogatives, and they took II up in their
conference yesterday. The conference re-
ferred the question to the steering COM
mittee, and that committee decided to for
mally present the matter to the republican
steering committee. That presentation has
been made and there the matter rests.

DECLINED BY BATH WORKS.
Cannot Build Cruiser Probably. Full
hlIinG Department Reauirements

The Bath iron works have declined finally
to accept the contract for the construction
of one of the three protected cruisers which
the Navy Department has undertaken TO
contract for under authority conferred by
last years naval appropriation bill The
company offered to build this ship for So
10000. and the department awarded the
contract to it. But it was found that the
bidders had cut out of the specifications
very many articles of equipment and struc-
tural features which the department re-
garded absolutely necessary to be in
cluded in the contract work. The same was
true of the bids of Neafie & Levy and of
the Newport News Shipbuilding Company
for the other two cruisers. But these two
concerns yielded to the Department. eff
forts and restored a considerable number
of the eNcised specifications. The Bath
company, however. after considering the
matter for month more, has decided
that it cannot build the ship with profit at
the figure named and put in all these ar
ticles, so it has declined the contract. The
Navy Department will therefore immedi-
ately readvertise, calling for proposals for
building this one vessel.

TO ESTABLISH A LEGATION.
Minister Silva of Colombia Takes .
House.

The failure of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
has caused the suspension of the activities
Of the Panama canal representation in
Washington. The reason for this is be-
cause the Clayton-Bulwer treaty, which It
was intended to supersede by the Hay
Pauncefote treaty, applied to the Isthmus
of Panama quite as much as to any line Of
communication across Nicaragua. The
United States and Great Britain thereby
bound themselves to construct a canal in
that section Of the world only by mutual
consent, SO that the effort to effect the
substitution having failed, the status re-;
mains unchanged as far treaties are con-
cerned, not only to Nicaragua but as
to Colombia. Therefore, assuming the
C6ayton-Bulwer treaty TO be in force the
United States executive has no authority
to deal with the Colombian government. or
with the Panama canal people for the COM
pletion Of that waterway. OF course any
resuscitation of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty
on anything like the original lines will
open the door to Colombia quite as much
as to Nicaragua. In the expectation that
something of this kind will follow. the new
Colombian minister here, DR.. Martinez
Silva, who has been staying at hotel
merely for the session of Congress has now
decided to establish a legation for an in
definite period of time in Washington. and
he has to this end taken house at l70I O
street northwest, which will be opened as
legation in about a week.
