FreehOIderS Meet in South Am
by this Afternoon and Go up
the River in Launch.
PROGRESS OF WORK.
Diver has been at Work at the Site for
Several Days LeveIlng the Concrete
Preparatory to Sinking the Box Filled
with Mason Work Bridge Resembles a
Long Pier on South Side.

The Board of Freeholders are in
specting the new bridge over the
Raritan river this afternoon. They
met at Welsh's Hotel at o'clock and
from there proceeded to the steamboat
dock where they boarded a launch
and went up the river. A minute in
-spection will be made.
The bridge is now rapidly taking
shape and, with the exception of the
iron work IAN idea can be had of what
it will be like. A small gap still re-
mains open on the south side of the
draw owing to the delay in receiving
the piling. That part where piling
are already down, however, has all
been planked and, as soon as the rail
ing is put along on both sides, the
south end will be completed. This
resembles long pier extending almost
entirely across the river.
At the point where the bridge cross
es, the channel is close to the north
shore and the draw will consequently
be on this side. A diver has been at
work for several days past leveling
the concrete and stones which have
been placed ON and between the piling
which are to form the foundation for
the mason work on which the draw
swings and rests. The concrete is
being placed in huge boxes which
will be sunk on the foundations until
above the water and then mason work
W IL be~in. There is every prospect
Of having the structure completed by
October at the latest.

FamiIy-ActiOn Unexplained Body now
in Burke's MOrgue.

John Ulinic was found dead this
morning in Valentines Woods near
Fords, where he had hung himself
some time yesterday with a piece of
clothesline. No cause is known for
his action.
He had recently purchased a ticket
on the steamship "Blucher" of the
Hamburg American line, and was to
sail today for Oderberg. This fact
was known to his friends and neigh
bors in the vicinity of his home, and.
when he was not seen this morning,
search was Immediately made. Franz
Joseph found the body hanging from
the limb of tree, where Ulinio had
probably fastened the rope, then made
moose in it, and dropped, death be-
ing almost instantaneous. Coroner
Henry was Immediately sent for. No
cause can be attributed for Ulinic's
act. He had SIC in addition to the
steamship ticket and would not have
been likely to spend so much of his
savings for the ticket had he not
surely contemplated sailing.
He was thirty two years old and
had wife and two children in the
old country, to sec whom he intended
sailing today. The body is now at
Burke's morgue. No funeral arrange
ments have as yet been made.

$l per 100 kilograms more than German and Austrian sugar. The crisis is, consequently, desperate one for French producers, who, not only can no longer export sugar, but are liable to be undersold by foreign sugar in their own home market. Hitherto England has taken th. bulk of French exported sugar, for the annual sugar consump- tion in Great Britan is 100000 tons. Germany, with her annual pro- duction of 2,300,000 tons at cost of $l to 100 kilograms less than French sugar, will drive French sugar out of the English market. French sugar men seem hcpelessly handicapped in the struggle. and the only salvation for them, as MT. Ware points out, is the creation of new industry, jam and preserves, which will absorb the surplus French sugar in the form of glucose, and avert a catastrophe ten fold more disastrous than the present dearth of sardines, which has plunged Brittany into a famine such as has rarely been witnessed in France since the Middle Ages.

 To keep the fleet in commission as a whole in time of peace is settled and not merely an experiment policy, and with the passage of every day it ap- breaches nearer the ideal of those who will direct it's movements if the time for weighing in the balance the scheme of preparation is not long postponed.

Affection of Seals,

Natural affection of seals in their wild state is well shown in the following an ecdote: A gentleman living in Oregon, on the ocean shore. one day caught in Il very simple manner young seal. It had been stranded on the plank wharf by q receding tide and left high and uncomfortably dry as well. It had not strength to waddle into the water and no one to teach it the tricks of its tribe The gentleman kept the little glOssy creature for several days and then in pity turned it into its native element. It came to the wharf every night and whimpered so that he was obliged to take it cut again and keep it in, q small tank. the seal giving every demonstra- tion of affection. after the manner of young dog.

Riding the Cont,

Whence cones the phrase riding the goat?" Presumably from Egypt and old Nile. Capricornus. the goat of the zodiac, was the patron of the hiero- plants - in the Egyptian mysteries. Knowledge, especially occult and rec" ondite knowledge, was under his pro lection. The goat of earth may be de spised on earth, but the celestial goat is or was a mighty and mysterious power. It may be long way from the astrological and astronomical goat to the comic "goat" of modern initia- tions, but that Is not the goats fault.

READY FOR THE ISSUE
Army and Navy Getting Fixed for
 Possible Trouble

|
 istration in Washington is actively en.
 gagged in carrying out the adage of the
 first president, that the tins of peace
 is the time of preparation for war,
 says Colli r's Weekly.
 The initiation of policy of pre-.
 paredness was undertaken before it
 was realized that the attitude of Great
 Britian, Germany and Italy in South American waters would be regarded as
 affecting the great republic of the north.
 Every battleship on the naval list is in commission; nearly every other ves- sel of war IS engaged in active service or being made ready for it, colliers and supply ships are owned by the United States for the first time in period of peace; the army has been increased fourfold since the tranquil days before the Spanisl. war; the organized state militia has, by an act of congress passed and approved in January, been brought more directly under the con- trol of federal authority, and will become an. actua! and not merely a nominal reserve force of the regular establishment; the defenses of neal ly every important harbor have been placed upon an mp to date footing; arrangements made for the procurement of transports can be carried into effect with little delay; arsenals and navy yards are are working overtime to pro- vide reserve supplies; an identical small army has been adopted for the army, the navy and the marine corps, and is being furnished to them as rapidly as possible, and the militia is receiving the Krag magazine rifle in exchange for the anticipated Spring fel single-shooter that proved so un- popular in the Santiago campaign.
 And while foundation for surer pros- pect of victorious combat is being laid, men whose life study has been the art of var are engaged in planning, with due regard for international con- tingencies, campaigns. offensive and defensive, to be carried out upon the tea and land.
 For the army no concern is felt.
 At the outbreak of the Spanish war the American navy possessed only five bait leships. Today there are eleven battleships in commission; nine more batteships and six armed cruisers capable of taking place in the line of battle are under construction ;two armored cuisers more formidable than any of their type ever built have been authorized, and at least three battle ships and another armored cruiser are to be provided for by the present congress, thus making certain tEe creation of fleet within four years of thirty-two line-of- battle armorclads.
 Compared with the great navies of England, France and Russia. this for array of hoatinp fortresses makes a poor showing. It is even less than the fleet which Ger many, never until recently ambitious to become power on the sea, will have constructed within the same period. The German naval building program, originally intended for com pletion in 1916, and now to be carried out by 1908, contemplates thirty-eight battleships. With the stimulus of designs on the stability of the Monroe doctrine to produce more liberal spirit in congress, it is now regarded as likely that the of fleet approaching the German ideal of an offensive naval
