kong correspondent of the Express says
it is most unlikely that the Russian feet
will be able to get through the Gordon es-
tablished by Admiral Togo. There have
been no attacks b.. scout vessels.
Admiral Togo has hitherto received
most of his information concerning Ad-
miral Rojestvensky's movements from
spies ashore. These are stationed at
every port in the China seas. They send
every item Of intelligence to Toxic.
whence it is sent to admiral Togo. The
Japanese knew the Russians were leav-
ing Kanranh Bay hours before the
French Government knew it.
Admiral Togo also has fast scouting
vessels covering 4 wide area at sea. It
is believed that be IS nearly IN touch
with the Russians. II is understood that
he will make the fullest use Of his torpedo
boats. in which he is enormously stronger
than Admiral Rojestvenslsy
It is expected chat he viii attempt to
sink the transports and possibly some Of

action is more likely to be challenged by
the Russians when in tight corner than

The magnificent audience that attended
the opening night of the annual high

auspices of the Police Mutual Aid
Societys went to the Bijou Theatre last
night with expectations raised to the top

expectations more than realized.

at previous annual shows, and which
gives a fair glimpse of the inside work
ings and methods to prevent crime and
bring to justice criminals and other vio-

revised fby the author so as to bring it
strictly up to date. 1t is.not only inter
esting and Instructive, but snowy. The
only.regret is that the snowy instruments
and intricate mechanism with which each
station is equipped cannot easily be ex-
hibited on a stage. but an adequate idea
Of the police system is suggested. AS to
the play, 50 much has been written about

familiar to almost everybody. To say
that each member played his part to

the members of the cast in exhibiting
specimens Of police work. The drilling
of the midnight reliaf, under command
Of Sergeant Duffy, was greatly admired,
Roundsmen O'Donnell and Kelly sharing
with the Sergeant the honors bestowed
by way Of applause. Included among the
men characters introduced was j. Spnd,
a ''come-on'' man, cleverly impersonated
by Patrolman Carroll, Of the Gregory
street station. The Introduction Of
juvenile crap shooter, impersonated by
Eddie Cross, was to show the new method
of handling juvenile offenders, and it met
hearty approval. Patroiman G. Galway

AS to the vaudeville programme, that
followed the playlet, while tip-top as
whole, it embraced TWO features that
were great shows in themselves. These
are JEWELS Mannikins, an automatic
electrical theatre within theatre, and
Herizog's exhibition Of over a dozen
trained horses The former is a brilliant
European novelty bright, brilliant,
poeticaI, seintillating, and at the same
time exeruciatingly funny. Among the
innumerable almost indescribable fea-
lures, including circus performance,
vaudeville stage performance, ballet,
is the explosion Of an automobile, which
develops into an air ship soaring into the
sky with the two occupants. while the
orchestra plays "Come Take a Ride in
My Airship7 1t scored a tremendous
hit with the audience. The Herizog's
horse show takes place in a regular cir
Gus ring nearly, if not quite as large as
the average circus ring.
The vaudeville programme opened
with Hodges, Launchmere and Del
more. of the 'sBlaek 4OO,' in an exceed
ingly comic sketch, with great dancing
and splendid duets The Misses Del
more follow in refined vocal and instru-
mental selections. One Of them is a 'vio-
linist Of the most artistic type. Nora

singing comedienne. She is indeed clever
and the 1squintessence OF quaintness.

SEVERE TAX ON TRUTnFULNESS

TRENTON, April %, 1905.--On the
first day Of June next more than 1,10O
epumerators throughout the State will
begin the task of making the third State
census. The previous enumerations were
taken in 1885 and 1895. but the one this
year is expected to surpass those epreyious-
" taken, as the new law provides for the
ascertaining of many more facts than
heretofore, and when the work is COM
pleted the New Jersey census will be as
complete as that taken by the national
Government
The changes made in the census Law
as enacted this year were brought about
as the result Of the dissatisfaction ex-
pressed on the completion of the census
ten years ago. The old law, which was
passed. in 1885, provided for the aseer-
tanning of the name, age and place of
birth Of the nhabitants of the municipali-
ties of the State and the recapitulation
was seldom used except to find the total
number Of Inhabitants of any locality.
This year the schedules to be used by
the enumerators comprise twenty ques-
tons to be answered for every inhabitant
of the State, and are exactly like those
used in taking the national census. Each
schedule win include the name of the
person, color and race, sex; year and
month of birth, age at last birthday;
whether single, married, widowed or
divorced; number of years married; place
OF birth place of birth of parents: year
Of emigration to the United States NUM-
Der of years of residence in the United
States; whether naturalized occupation;
able to read, write and speak English;
if home is owned or rented; if owned,
whether free or mortgaged.
Each person questioned by the enumer-
ators will be expected to give truthful
answers to the questions propounded, and
the new law provides penalty in case of
refusal to answer From the answers
thus received it is expected that there
may be prepared a report showing the
total number of inhabitants Of the State;
the number of males and females; the
number of black males and females; the
number Of single, married and divorced
persons; the number of persons engaged
in every branch of business and in the
various professions; and other valuable
statistical matter. In addition to this,
information viii be- obtained as to the
total number of school children between
the ages Of five and eighteen years, the
number of minors, and the number of
males subject 10 military duty.
The method Of taking the census has
been materially changed, and greater ac-
curaey will be had by the new method.
Heretofore the enumerations were made
by the tax assessors at the time they
made their assessments, and there was
no supervision of the work except such
as was given by the department Of State.
This year, however, the census win be
taken by specially appointed enumer-
ators, whose work will be supervised in
