BILLS NOW LAWS

TRENTON, April 14.-Governor Fort
signed Senator Ackerman's employers
liability bill, and in doing SO paid a
high compliment to the Senate from
Union. The governor fix his sigma
ture to the bill with a sterling silver
pen, which he afterward presented to
Senator Alderman. This is the second
pen the Senator has received from the
governor after signing one of his bills.
the first being that with which he
signed the civil service bill.
The House passed Senator Freling-
huysen's bill, a~ppropriating the mon
received by the State under the motor
vehicle law for the repair of improved
roads. This money, amounting to
about 1891, 900, has been lying in the
treasury, a defect in the law preventing
its use. The House also passed the
Senate bill making October IL, Column
bus Day, a legal holiday.
Gnrnishee Bill Killed.
The Senate killed the House gar
nishee' bill. providing that where a
salary exceeds sl2 weekly it may be

ernor's election and primary reform
bills in the Senate. They provide for
the adoption of the Wisconsin ballot,
for the election of county committee
men at the open primaries and for a
system of enrolment under the control
OF the State. Senator Wakelee also in
troduced another election bill, which Is
looked upon with favor by politicians
throughout the State. and which, many
think, will be rhe one finally passed.
1t consists of a single amendment to
the election law, which makes the PEN
alties for fraud at the election of coun-
ty committeeme the same as at a gen.
eral election.
trolley Freight Bill Passed.
Senator Gaunt brought up his trolley
freight bill ii the Senate, with an
amendment in conformity with the sug-
gestion of the governor In his veto of
the original bill. The amendment says
that nothing contained in the bill shall
cause the State to waive n of its
rights.

the entire afternoon being devoted to
the amended measure, but it finally
passed. The Senate also passed the
governors bill creating a State board
of control for the purchase of supplies

Special Cablegram to Tne Star.
ONITSHA, Southern Nigeria, March g.
The first phase of the operations of the
British expedition engaged in opening up
the country of the unsubdued tribes Is
nearly completed. and the columns are
now moving eastward.
The Okpotes, the tribe which was
constant source of trouble to northern
Nigeria in the past, appear to have
made up their mind not to resist any
longer, and have received the visit OF
the white man with a sort of stohd
apathy. Whether they will obey the laws
laid down for their benefit, and whether
they will abandon slave dealing and
other evil customs. remains to be seen.
The Abadjas, an Ibo-speaking tribe in
habiting large tract of country east OF
the portion Of the River Niger which runs
between Idah and Onitsha. from whom
little or no opposition was expected, nave
exhibited considerable turbulence. and
| some stiff fighting has taken place.
Prepared for Defense.
The native towns are we'll prepared for
defense, large pits with sharpened stakes
at the bottom having been dug covering
the entrance to the towns. The pits are
carefully hidden from view by a few
| sticks. dead leaves and grass. They are
| from six to eight feet deep, and once
down one Of them, even if ones escapes
being transfixed. getting out without as
sistance Is out of the question.
The natives have on one or two occa-
sions stood up well to the soldiery. but
after severe losses have sued for peace.
Thus far two soldiers have been killed
| and six wounded. The losses of the ma
tives have not been reported. The well
known Munshi tribe is the next to be
dealth with, and 1t is expected 1t will
offer a strenuous resistance.
