Governor Stokes Yields to

Signs the Bachelor Bill.

TRENTON. May 13. 1905. Governor
Stokes YESTERDAY signed the BacheIler
bin prohibiting the diversion Of potable
water from the State, and vetoed ten
measures and fled them with me State
librarian.
IN approving the Bacheller bin the
Governor i understood 10 have yielded
e general public demand, as personally
ne was not in favor Of some Of its pro
visions, and also doubted its constitutions
allty. The bill was designed to pre-
vent the consummation Of a pending
contract between the New York ard New
Jersey Water Company and Greater New
York for water ssipply for certain
towns on Staten Island.
| Senator sIinturn's bin. No. 200, sup
plementing the act Of 1s9s relative to
the incorporation Of assoeiations not for
pecnniary benefit was vetoed for various
defects pointed out in an opinion of the
ATTORNEY general, II authsrized tlie for
nation Of district societies for the pre-
ven'tion of cruelty TO animals.
The attorney general claimed the bill
Is unconstitutional because its body in
cludes several powers that are not ex-
pressed in its title, and also because il
undertakes TO incorporate into its body
the provisions of other laws without ref
erence expressly thereto.
Senator Browns two bills. Nos. 2ss
and 2s9 which were resigned to
straigiftau out several Inconsistencies in
tae present election law, We're both We
toed on account Of defective titles.
All the other measures to fall by the
wayside were these house bills:
Assenblyman Riordan's bill. No. 30
providing that assessments for benefits
in towns should be payable within FIRE
Years was vetoed with this commeut
This bill is iisapproved. The phrase
ology Of this act defeats the purpose for
which It was designed BY putting a pre-
naiuln on delay in the payment Of assess
melts'
Mr.. Duffield's bill. No. 245. providing
for the paving and widening of Main
street, East Orange. was vetoed because
no provision was contained for carrying
out the referendum provided for in the
| bill.
Mr.. Lehlbaell's bill, No $50, amending
the act relative to consolidated cities, so
that freeilolders should hold Office until
the expiration of their terms, was vetoed
with the comment that the object for
which it was passed no longer exists,
ITO be filed in library is the nom
eommittal veto of the Governor in disap-
proving Assemblyman Coyne's bill, No.
$50. authorizing a garbage crernatory for
Plainfeld.
"Disapproved' is the fate Of Assem-
lblyman Robbins's bill providing for side
walks along country roads. The meas
ure was hoodoed from the start. It
was No. IS.
Defective phraseology is responsible
for the fan Of house bill No. 361, intro
duecd by Mr. Reed and amending the
act Of 1908 relative to the election of Of

WAR IN THE EAST.

The following c''icial dispatch has
been received in Toxic from the head
quarters of the japanese armies in Man
churia
"Jn the vicinity of Yingecheng June
2t, /, 900 Of the eDemy's infantry, press
ING our scouts, advanced, aud when they
reached Hsiangyangcheu. lOmlies south
east of Wankautzkeau, our forces re-
pulsed them with heavy loss and pur-
sued them to the vicinity of Weiyuan-
paomen. After our force which Occu-
pied Yankmuidtzu June l9 had complet-
ed their mission they returned. The
enemy, consisting of three battalions and
four squadrons, with IL guns, advanced
through the eastern districts of the kirin
road and moved southwark june Il.
From IL 80 in the morning his infantry
gradually appeared on the heights be-
tween Chapengau and Lichiatun and his
artillery posted on the heights of Lien
huachies shelled the northern heights OF
Nautchenday. Our forces after few
hours engagement assaulted this ofien-
sive line and completely repulsed the
enemy, captured the heights and pursued
him. Otherwise the situation Is nn-
changed.
A dispatch from GMnshu Pass,
Manchuria, says that the japanese are
no longer pressing the Russians
south and doubt is now entertained as
to whether the weak offensive is the
precursor of big battle of diplomatic
manueyers. Belief in the prompt con-
clusion of peace is weakening The
heat is intolerable. Even the nights
afford little relief.
Adyices from st. Petersburg say that
there is not likely to be any further move
in the direction of an armistice until the
plenipotentiarieS are appointed aud the
time of their meeting in definitely hxed.
japan seems unwilling to discuss any
new issue until these two questions are
settled. This does not necessarily mean
that all hope of arranging suspension
of hostililies before the meeting has dis'
appeared. butas sn indication of Japan's
mood it increases the doubt as TO whether
she could be induced to relinquish tenn
porariy the stragetic advantages which
she evidently believes she enjoys Ia
deed. it might raise the suspicion OF
sparring for time until Field Marshal
Ovama has developed his offensive and
is actually in process Of delivering his
blow, when Japan could easily plead that
it was too late. The delay in settling the
matter of the plenipOtentiaries Is, there
fore, all the more deplored by those de-
string to avoid further bloOdshed. Both
countries seem perfectly willing to name
negotiators, but each evidently desires
the other TO show its hand first.
