semblyman John Gallery, Of Weelawken,
introduced his bill in the House which,
If it becomes a law, will enahle the
WeehawIen authorities 70 pave the Bou-
levard, from Nineteenth street 70 the end
of The town line. with Belgian blocks,
the Committee on Towns and Townships,
10 which it was referred, has not yet
reported the measure, although Assem-
blyman Pearce, Chairman Of tile Towns
and Townships Committee, has prom-
ised several times to report il. He ex-
plains his failure 70 report by saying
that the bill is loosely drawn and that
if it became a law the Wcehawken au-
thorities would find il ditFie,flt to procure
purchasers for the bonds to be issued to
pay for the improvement.
Realizing that the Legislature will adj
journ within few more weeks, Assem-
blyman Gallery is pressing the commit
tee 70 report his bill without any further
delay He told Chairman Pearce that
be is willing to allow tile bill to be
amended by the Committee to meet the
objections raised against It, but wants
it to be reported 50 tliaf Il can be acted
upon - the Honse during fhis week
Mr. Gallery experienced considerable
difficulty last sear If geeting bills
through the House during the closing
hours of the session and he does not
purpose to be caught mapping this year.
He intends to insist upon the Towns and
Townships Committee reporting his bill.
Mr.. Gallery says that Weehawken is
expending about $4,000 a year to keep
The Boulevard IN repair. and that such
sum could be saved 10 the town if the
roadway was paved with Relgian pay
ing blocks Regarding lie objection
raised by Chairman Pearee that the bill
is loosely drafted and that The bonds
to be issued under its provisions could
not be sold rnless it was amended, Mr..
Gallery saia that was merely a tech-
nical objection ana could be easily REM
edied By The committee with an amend
ment if it 50 desired. He said that he
did not consider such objection a valid
reason why the bill should not be re-
ported. The bill as drafted safeguarded
and protected the purchasers Of the
bonds. but if the committee thought 9th
erwise he was willing it should be 50
amended as to meet all objections.
The Towns and Townships Commit-
tee Is composed Of members who repre-.
sent rural districts, and il is said That
some Of them object to Mr.. CalIery's bill
fearing that its provisions Will affect
their communities. MIR. Gallery has as
sured these members that the bin only
affects Weehawken.

SAW new YORK
Six Adventurous Philadel-
phia Boys Held for the
Juvenile Court on Sus-
picion Of Robbing
the Central.

Six boys, who evidently ran away
from Philadelphia to see the sights and
wonders Of New York, were held for the
Children's Court next Wednesday by
Police Justice Higgins in the First Grim
inal Court this morning. They had taken
in many Of the sights Of the metropolis,
including the big sky scrapers, the
Brooklyn and Williamsburg bridges, the
subway, the fiatiron building and other
buildings of interest in the tenderlon.
They started for home last night with
but fifty seven cents in the whole bunch.
They intended to beat their way home
on freight trains on the Central Rail-
road. Last night Special Detective La
yeratte found the six boys hidden away
in one of the ears that contained mer-
ehandise. The boys were also supplied
with new pipes and were in possession
Of a quantity Of cllanois skin. An ex-
go 'sitt'ttOA f" a. MAUI sehe. u ""s A"uAst
thar number of packages of merchan-
disc had been stolen and opened in the
yard, but still the crime could not be
securely fastened on tie boys. They
were held on charges Of being disorflerly
persons. Meanwhile the railroad police,
are investigating the robbery in the rail-
road yard at Communipaw.
The boys are fairly well dressed and
possessed Of more than ordinary intelli-
gence. Their parents have been notified
of their predicament. One of the boys,
precocious youngster, is but fifteen
years old He gave his name and ad-
dress as John Waves, fifteen years old,
Of No 2039 Ormanda street. The others
gave their names as John Spencer. seyen-
teen years old Of No. 251S Minister
street; William Ogilvie sixteen years
old, of No 1910 North Second street.
Harry Hepting, fifteen years old. of No.
2424 Howard street, and Samuel Enly,
fifteen years old, Of no. 2031 Laurel
street. and Edward Smiley, fifteen years
old. of No. 2o31 Laurel street.
The boys deny having robbed any cars.
They declare stoutly that they only came
on to see the great sights Of New York
about which they had heard and read 50
much. They give glowing accounts Of
a day and nights experience in sight
seeing with limited capital tell how they
feasted royalty on buns and boulogna
and sauerkraut sandwiches, 2-eent coffee,
etc.

supplemented by remark by one Of the
older boys to the effect that he thought
they had some electric lights in Chestnut
street, but Broadway was as light at
three o'clock in the morning as Chestnut
street is at eight O'Clock in the evening.

at Kingpan on March H. The survivors

now cut off. and it is feared that most
Of them win starve

The ~Kokumins announces that the

Experts attribute the Russian defeat
to the weakness of the defenses on the
Hun River east of Mukden, which al
lowed the japanese right wing to break
through aud join the left wing. which
was carrying out fanking movement
from the west The latter marched
thirty miles on March 6, twenty-five
miles on March I, twenty miles on
March and fifteen miles on March 8,
reaching the rear of Mukden. Then a
detachment was dispatched to cut off
the retreating Russians and another to
ascertain the Whereabouts of General
Kuropatin. 1t was found that the lat.
ter had already gone north, whereupon
preparations were Immediately made for

The Russians We're totally enveloped

4 majority of them surrendered. The

Consequently he missed not only his re

would attack from the mountains
Gen. Kuropatkin having boastei that
he wonld sign terms Of peace at Toxic,
the Japanese generally are disappointed
at the failure to capture him and bring

ious that au early sire die Adjournment

how ali the work can be finished before

sion one week longer than the Governor
anticipates
Leaders Bradley Of the Senate and

Ii is understood that both are unwilling
to fix any date until action il taken BY
both Houses on the principal bills now
pending. namely, fhe Morris Canal aban-
donnlent. the equal tax bin on, second

scheme and several other Republican
measures
The House has passed the DufieTd
equal tax bill and it win probably be
taken up in the Senate tonight or to-
morrow. That it win be passed by the
Republican majority is regarded as a
foregone conclusion because It has been
made caucus measure.
AS to the court Of equalization bill,
the Republicans are still divided regard
ing the advisability Of adopting ii in its
present shape. Many favor increasing
the number Of members from three 10
five and also cutting down their salaries
from 5000 10 $500, This proposition
finds many supporters even among the
Democrats.
Major Carl Lentz, the Republican
boss of Essex, it is said, is strongly
opposed to the appointment Of FIVE men-
bers. He wants to be president Of the
new court and fears that with five mem-
bers his ambition will not be realized.
Besides, he wants 5000 a year salary
instead Of $1,000, Which is ali lie would
get if the coarr consisted Of i've men-
bers
