 Dr. R. o. Raymond, who came here recently from St Louis, hay ing successfully passed the exam ination required by the territorial medical board, has decided to locate permanently in Williams. The doc tor is pleasant gentleman and has the faculty of making friends rapidly. We doubt not that he will soon enjoy a lucrative practice also. though trust we may never need his services. We've been in Arizona eight years and during that time the amount we have paid physicians would scarcely keep one alive a week. However, doctor is necessity in any community and Williams now has three.

 Mir. and Mrs. J. B Jones and children arrived home last Satur- day night On delayed No. 7, from their five weeks visit in the east. Some time was spent at St. Louis and the Worlds Fair, Chicago and other points and a visit to Mir. Jones' old North Carolina home. Johnny says he enjoyed both hunt ing and fishing in the favorite fields and strea ms of his boyhood days, and that many changes were noticeable since last he saw the old place. One thing that made him think he is getting old was that field he once plowed had been abandoned years ago and was cov- cred with a growth of trees, some them foot in diameter. They are of species of quick growing cedar and spring up like mushrooms, so that J. B. is not so old after all.

 Mir. and Mrs. James Walsh ar rived in Williams last Friday night from the east. On Monday Mrs. Walsh departed for Los Angeles, where she will continue to reside, being accompanied as far as Selig- man by her husband, who went out .o his ranch north of that town. Since June Mrs. Walsh has been at Terre Haute, Ind, with Ter two sisters and brother residing here and later enjoyed the com oany of another brother, who lives n Philadelphia, to the Worlds Fair. About the 10th of September he was joined by MT. Walsh, with whom she visited the fair; also at jacksonville, H., where his father, low 90 years of age, resides. They lad a pleasant visit in the east and m their return narrowly escaped he big washouts that occurred over n Colorado.

new U. S. JUDGE
Senator Kean's Bill If
Passed Will Provide a
Reward for Senator
Cross Of Union.


United States Senator John Kesin has
introduced into the Senate at Washing
ton a bill providing for an additional
judge for the Federal District Of New
Jersey. 1t has been claimed for some
time that the volume of business in this
district is too large for one judge to
handle properly, and the bin aims to cor
rect this condition.
1t is likely that if it becomes law
State Senator Joseph Cross of Union
county will be named for the additional
.Judgeship. Last spring, after the death
of Judge kirkpatrick, of the United
States district court, the vacant Judge
ship was offered to Senator Cross, who
refused it, on the ground that he pre-
ferred to remain in the senate.
1t was understood at the time that
Senator Kean, with an ambition to sue
ceed himself at the national capital, was
behind the anxiety of Senator Cross to
remain in the Senate. As the political
skies looked at that time, Senator kean
was fearful that he would need every
vote in the Legislature he could possibly
get to insure his reelection to the Uni
ted States Senate in 1865. Had Senator
Cross resigned his seat in the Senate to
accept the judgship it was not certain
that he would be succeeded by Repub-
lican
He therefore, it is claimed, prevailed
upon Senator Cross to retain his senator
ial toga, promising him that new judge
ship would be created this winter and
agreeing that Senator Cross should be
nominated for the place. After Senator
Cross declined to take the appointment
last spring Congressman William NJ
Lanning of this city was appointed.
1t is known that Senator Cross has had
judicial ambitions for some time and the
introduction of the bill by Senator Kean
is in line with the situation as outlined
last spring. The refusal Of Senator
Cross to consider the chancery clerkship
also fits this situation
Senator Cross is a lawyer, was grad

SOCIALIST GAINS
Growth in New Jersey Places
the Party Third As Its
Numbers Exceed the
Prohibitionists'.


Special to "The Jersey City News.')
TRENTON, Dec. 10. 1904 One of
the surprises of the recent election in
this State was the great stride forward
of the Socialist party, which cast 1857
votes, and thereby becomes the undisput-
ed third party in the State
1t is diaicult to compare this vote
with that of four years ago. because
there was no distinetively Socialist tick
ct in the field Of 1900. There was, how
ever. a al-Democratic ticket and
Social Labor ticket, which together poll
ed 6.6so votes.
Moreover, there was socialist-Labor
ticket in the field this year. which polled
2.Gso votes. Ifthis is added to the vote
Of the Socialists it will make 12.267 votes
cast by those of all shades Of socialism.
or 5.:5s4- almost 100 per cent-more
than they poliesi four years ago.
The Socialists largest vote was in
Hudson County, where they polled 2,6S0.
The smallest number was cast in Salem
County. where the vote was IS.
The Prohibitionists failed to maintain
their claim to being the third party. not
only polling 2.2T4 votes less than their
Socialist opponents but falling below
their vote of four years ago.
In the Presidential election of 1900 the
Prohibitionists cost 7.1s3 ballots. while
this year the polled 6,s45. Their highest
vote was 5s2, in Essex, and the lowest
122. in Cape May.
Passaic. the home of the Modern
Father Matthew as Dean McNulty is
called, gave the cold-water ticket only
262. while Cumberland. the legal resi-
deuce of Edward Casper Stokes. gave it
54S.
The Peoples Democratic party, which
entered the field with the avowed purpose
Of doing all the damage it possibly could
to the Regular Democratic ticket, did not
come up to the enthusiastic predictions of
IFS leaders. The ticket polled 3,7o5 votes.
The Socialist-Labor ticket was at the
tail end of the procession with 1.O25
votes. 1t, too. got its highest vote, S42,
in Essex County and its lowest II, in.
Cape ATay. Hudson gave it the next
largest. G77. and Passaic the next, 433.

highest vote in Essex, which gave il 647,

place by a vote of 439 to 1896. Cape May

STRIKE AT The CAPITOL

Special to 1.-THE Jersey City News.'')
TRENTON, Dec 10, 1904-The State
House has been placed on the unfair list
and at noon yesterday every union car
penter, painter and electrician employed
in the extensive repairs and renovations
about the building packed up his kit and
went out on strike. This action follow
ed the trades union controversy with the
Adams Electrical Company of this city,
which was placed on the unfair list on
account of placing non-union men at
work to wire the home of Headley P.
Harper, at Ewing, after that job had
been declared unfair.
Shortly before noon yesterday Richard
Smith, the business agent for the build
ing trades council of this city, walked in
to the State House and ordered every
union man employed there to pack up
and get out The order was promptly
obeyed by twelve painters and decora-
tors employed by J. D. Margerum, and
eight carpenters employed by Charles w.
Kafer. Most Of the union electrical
workers had abandoned their places
Thursday afternoon, and when Smith had
completed his tour only two apprentices
remained at work.
Part of the work being done by the
Adams Company is the lighting of the
dome from which the big chandelier was
removed some time ago as unsafe, re-
furnishing and wiring the chandelier
that swings from the centre of the As
sembly chamber, and wiring the library
and adjoining rooms to conform with the
recent changes.
The carpenters were employed about
the library, in putting in new entrance
the Senate chamber on the second floor,
thereby connecting the old and new build
ings by fitting approach. instead of the
.'hoIe in the wall'' heretofore used, and
III variety of smaller jobs about the
building. The painters and decorators
had been employed in the Assembly
chamber and about the building gener-
ally.

The children will present the three-act
play, 'Lilliputians ii Fairy Land, or The
Cruise of the Polar STAR
The children have been well trained
for the coming entertainment, and they
will surely give a good account of them
selves at both performances. The Sisters
of the Home have also been working
hard for the success of the play, and
judging from the sale of tickets so far,
their efforts towards making this years
entertainment more successful than its
predecessors will meet good reward.
The children of the Home are happy

are mere little tots, they are looking for

interest as those who have charge of
them. The funds acquired by this en-

LONDON, Dec 10, 1904-A despatch
to the Express from st. Petersburg
says that definite instructions have been
sent to Admiral Rojestvensky, comman-
der of the Baltic fleet, not to proceed to
the Far East. The Gzar took the matter
into his own hands and issued the order,
despite the opposition of the Grand
Dukes.
The Baltic fleet viii now probably

bilities Of service are 50 remote that the
public will have forgotten its original

The despatch adds that the reports
concerning the despatch of third squad
ron to the Far East are mere specula-
tion.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 10, 1904
That the japanese are preparing for the
Russian Baltic fleet is; evidenced by a
cablegram received from Minister Girls
com at Toxic, stating that all shipping
has been warned to keep twenty miles
away from the Pescadores. small group
of islands belonging to Japan, lying be-
tween Formosa and the Chinese coast.
Minister Griscom further states that
Consul Fisher. his informant, says that
Notifications are being constructed at

pairing against an attack or whether the
Pescadores are to be made a base for
operations against the Baltic feet is not
known.
