BILLS SIGNED.

Special to .tThe Jersey city News.")
TRENTON. April u, Gov
ernor Stokes yesterday signed Senate
bill No. 145 and Assembly No. 2o2.
Senate No. 145 provides that no per-
son shall hereafter use any dredge. tongs.
or rake upon any lands leased TO any
one under the provisions of the act TO
which this is a supplement. except the
Lessee. or lessees thereof, without per-
mission Of the lessee or. lessees thereof,
and any one offending against the pro-
visions of this supplement is hereby lia-
bic to the penalty prescribed in section
twenty-five of the act to which this is
supplement
Assembly 202. amends the school law
so as to more clearly define day school
to be one in which the common school
branches are taught by a competent
teacher Another amendment requires
two notices instead of one to the parents
of truant.
Assembly bill No. 167, which was
signed Wednesday by Governor Stokes,
was passed by the Legislature in order
that the State might appropriate money
for the purpose of reducing the State
school tax in the various counties.
BY an unexplained error, the appro-
priation bill passed at the session of 1904
made no provision for an appropriation
for the fiscal year ending October 81,
1905. The section authorizing the ap-
preparation for State school tax read so
that the money must, under the law, be
used for the year ending October 81,
1904. The figure ~ being inserted in
error instead Of the figure ''5.'
Assembly 1e7 was introduced as sup
plement to the appropriation act of 1894
in order that funds would be available
for the year ending October 81, 1905.

quested Foreign Minister Delcasse to call
the attention Of Russia 10 the presence Of
the Russian heet at Kamranh Bay.
According TO the official view, this does
not amount to q formal protest against
the alleged violation Of neutrality, but IS
rather an expression Of Japan's wish that
France viii formally assure her that she
will continue 70 be strictly neutral MIN
ister Montono acted in similar manner

Japan recently when the latter's cruisers
visited Kamranh Bay, requesting them

iety, which, however. was not justified by
any acts on the part Of the French au-

MOATONO SEES DELCASSE

LONDON, April s21, 1905.--It is inn
possible to learn definitely whether the
Baltic feet is still at Kamranh Bay. In
Toxic it is believed that it is. while in
Paris its presence there is denied.
An English correspondent in Paris
quotes Foreign Minister Delcasse as say
| ing in the lobby of the Chamber that the
feet left the AMMAN coast Thursday
morning. Another Paris report says it
left some days ago.
All accounts concur in stating that the
interview between NJ. Delcasse and NJ.
dontono, the japanese Minister, was har-
monious. NJ. Delcasse received NJ. Mo
tono cordially and undertook to remove
any possible ground of complaint.
A telegram from Saigon announcing
that the French torpedo boats that went
to Kamranh Bay have returned to Sal
gon is interpreted as an indication that
Admiral Rojestvensky has really gone.
The Paris correspondent of the Times
says that unless it is soon learned that
the Baltic fleet has left the territorial
waters of Indo-China the international
situation may become acute. There is no
reason to doubt that France has issued
the necessary instructions to the colonial
authorities and communicated with St.
Petersburg.
France does NOT seem to be charged BY
the japanese with lack of decision, but
there is always the possibility that Ad-
miral Rojestvensky may again set at
naught his Instructions, in which case
Japan will expect the French authorities
to use arguments of another kind.
They should not be in a position to be
overcome by any eventual obstinacy on
Rojestvensky,s part, and if he remains
in French waters the Japanese will not
hesitate to attack him at his moorings
without hostile intentions toward France
Mere assurances will not influence the
Japanese Rojestvensky must go Of his
own accord, be compelled TO so by the
French or prepare to be attacked. 1t Isl
reported that the French Cabinet win
meet Friday in connection with the mat
ter.

Street on Tuesday

Timothy O. Brien Is His Name
and He Was Discharged
for Insulting q Girl
While on Business.


man who they feel sure is the one who
caused five fires in houses along Grand
street and Ocean avenue between 5.S5
and 7.35 o'clock r NJ, on Tuesday last
by disconnecting pipes and setting fire
to gas in meters, all Of which exploded
and set FIRE to the buildings in which
they were located.
When the police and firemen sized up
the fact that the fires were all Of the
same origin and along the same route
they Immediately came to the conclusion
that some fire bug, lunatic or one that
had a grievance against the gas COM
pany was responsible for the dastardly
and fendish work
Detective-sergeants Dan Lee and
james Larkins were assigned to the
case. They first interviewed Mrs. Kath-
erin Smith, of No. 387 Ocean avenue,
who met man coming out Of the hall
way of that address just before the
alarm for a fire at that address was
sent in. She told Lee and Larkins that
the man tipped his hatsand said:
Good evening"
At first, Mrs. Smith said, She thought
she recognized the man as one Brien,
who keeps a grocery. store at Avenue D
and Twenty-tifth street. Mrs. Smith re-
Gently moved from Bayonne and while
there dealt with GrocersmaD O'Brien.
She looked closely at him in the ligls
and then saw the man was not Grocery
man 0'Brien, but that he looked very
much like him. She said he had unusu-
ally heavy black eyebrows and was
smoking cigarette.
Lee and Larkins then went TO Bay
onne and consulted Detective Sergeant
Griffin. Then they consulted officers of
the gas company. They learned that
Groceryman O'Brien had a brother nam
ed Timothy, who somewhat resembled
him, and that Timothy had been recent
ily discharged from the service Of the
gas company for insulting little girl
in a house into which he had been sent
to repair some gas fixtures.
In company with Detective Sergeant
Griffin, Lee and Larkins last night ac-
costed Timothy near his home, No. %
West Fifty-fourth street, Bayonne Af-
ter short conversation o'Brien said:
ssOh, l know what you want me for.
You want me for those fires =
The young man consented to go with
Lee and. Larkins to the Ocean avenue
station in Greenville, with the UNDER
standing that if he was not the man
wanted it would soon be determined, as
the police had witnesses at the station
house who saw the man wanted. At the
station house he was stood up with six
other young men. He was easily identi-
fed by Mrs. Smith as the man she met
in the hallway Of her home, No. 36T
Ocean avenue, and whom she at first
took for Groceryman O'Brien, of Bay
onne. He was also promptly identified
by Caroline Vogt, of Woodland avenue.
