I. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-A speech . vl Sensational in its interest and interna*

I tlonnl Ui Its iraportririce-wasdellvereil in L the senate yesterday by Mr.; Hale (liep.)

4 I! of Maine. The occasion of. the utterance-- -was the simple question -whether a reso- ^sslhtion introduced by Mr. Allen (Pop.) of

-^Nebraska calling for. information as to Jbe recognition by this country of diplo­matic representation of the Transvaal, republic should he directed to the presi­dent or to the secretary of state. Mr. Hale made the question the text of nn Impassioned speech in which he declared that nine-tenths of the American , people sympathized with the Boers in their'gal­lant struggle for liberty against one- of the greatest powerslu tlie world. He declared that “ the ♦Qfr which Great Brit­ain is waging is the most fell blow at

-human liberty that has been struck in the century.” Y“ Mr. Hale.spoke with unusual force,^de­cisiveness and earnestness even for him,' and his passionate eloquence claimed the closest attention of i every auditor.: 'He said he .could not believe that any. accred- Ited representative of the TrAnavanl re­public had;been rejected;by the president.VI should,” he said, “deem that a most. unfortunate evefcf If it occurred. I do not believe it has occurred. I have heard that irresponsible, unaccredited persons, perhaps United States citizens, have ap­peared in Washington claiming to ropre- ,*ent the gallant people; who ;,arq rBtrug-,- gling for liberty,, but- no such mission could be recognized.‘" I have yet to be made to believe.that

any duly accredited representative of that brave people of South Africa has appeared before the president, of--the Unifed States arid been denied a hearing.' It that be true, the sooier we are inform^ ed about it the better for the American people.

“ I .do riot fail to take notice that .throughout the length and breadth of the land the sympathies of the great Ameri-,

/can people' are in. favor of the-'strnggle which the Beors are making today to pre­serve a republican goverment against one of the greatest powers of the world. I no not doubt that'ihe. American people

.agree with me.tbat the war which Great Britain is waging is the .most fell blow, at human liberty' that has been struckTn ,the last centnry. I do not doubt thnt the administration representing tlu> people of' the United States feels-today as I feel on the subject nnd ns nine-tenths of the

'“American P wpielegh” ^ y,<• Mr. Hale quSfed from a”1 speech of Mr. fBalfour in which the British statesman

3 bad declared the Boer .WSrEfiad knit td- r'"gmiCT“n5wiir vJit!iTrmnr-6'r“tiior™Kinrit3!; speaking rnce.J f «1) s "j f ’l j f ,' ‘ “I deny, sir,”" declared Sir. ,Hale, with

great feeling, "that,: tlie American sec­tion of thnt rnce is in 'sympathy with Great Britain in the South African war to stamp out thf, liber^pX, a people,, I deny that'the* American people are to* be1 tied to tbe chariot wheels of war against

-the.South African irepubiicsL and when , the leader'of the;’Conservative*'in'cthe'i | house ot commons asserts that he should

tie met by some disclaimer from this side '.of.the Atlantip.• “I do not wish international 'complica­

tions,” said Mr. Hale in conclusion: “I do1 pot wish .war. ,1 recall that, we have, not been so much In love'with neutrality In times. paBt that we could not speak up boldly for Hungary,-Poland, Armenia,; Cuba and Greece, rind ,1 do.not know why It is no\v that we mast speak with bated breath in Javpr of, liberty.

" I do not believe," continued he, “that 1 the English people are in favor of this /{ war. I believe that, the great queen on •

bended knceB has prayed that the'war'• might be averted. I , do not believe that ' }he great premier Jot England favored thowar, -It was the aci arid movement of a sharp cabinet minister, engaged with gold

. . speculators, which favored the war.”Mr. Hale said that we had had nothing

to do with bringing on the war. .. At the conclusion, of Mr, Hale's speech' the resolution as amended .by Mr. Spoon­er was adopted. i .'.fi•;

court regularly afthe last October' term re­ceived about $50. Ordinarily the Janu'aiy

arid May terms, at the legal rate of $2 per day, pay petit juryman about $20 or $25.

However, this present January term will

pay. the petit'jurymen .much better than

■ that. It may pay as well as the last Octo-

Mr.- Mahon (Rep., Pa:) charged that the assault'npen him had been insti­gated by the “pension sharks” of (this city, who were robbing the old soldiers. As_ a result of the latter's disclosures a rider was put upon the bill by unanimous consent empowering the commissioner in his discretion'to withhold the fees of at- toraeyB-ofirecord9n pension; caBes where be was satisfied thnt the attorneys tod not prepared the cases under tl»'ir^p*T’- sonal supervisioKL ■ __ " , • ™V

JOHN MARSHALL’S UNIQUE

POLITICAL.dRGANIZATION

Membership in the Some.Coat Only $1.00

Per Month, Which Entitled the Demo- I

John Marshall’s, unlqne argument that

ho conducted only, a,.Demqcratlc club; f1

West Park, and.not.a saloon, was,not t

lleved by the jury in Freehold -yesterd . and he waa.' accordingly. convlcksd pn the;

charge (/f'Selllng liquor illegally.

Marshall tried 'hard 'to convince the; court that the cliib was a bona fide Insti­

tution. He had a secretary present and this official produced a book out of whicii;

figures were read that were intended to,

show that the revenue derived was fromitions, which.began on Jan. 10, develop

,. , , rather leisurely, the Boers appear to bemembership fees alone, ■ Marshall, who is) ally aware that they, must meet a sfreri-a colored man, claimed he Is president of

the'club. Membership In the organiza­

tion, be said, is $1.00 down and $1.00 a

month, which entities' members to1 the privilege of drinks' at any time. There!

were about ten-members “in good stand­ing,’’ he testified, making the revenue

$120 a year. V

The prosecution figured that ten men,

accordingly, supplied ,drinks for the ball

ance of the; membership,,,which the jury

thought improbable. • " ' ' '

Witnesses were produced who swore

they bad purchased drinks for cash and, did not enjoy,the privileges of, memKer-

tfreih'troops are being sent up the ling.to re-enforce'those in frorit of Coleneo. It' appears that ' General Buller’s • troops;

•jiorth of the’Tugela numtier at least 22,- .000; arid possibly 25,000, with 50 guns. His total forces, forming n great outer,

'curve south arid west of Ladysmith, probably number 40,000. > k ; » -.

'JAM^’I^oiSunpt (thought ,thnt’ one (day's fighting will settle the fate of Ladysmith,

. but rather that there will,be two or three, days of continuous" fighting.'?

A dispatch to The Dally Telegraph, dated Thursday, (fromiS^earman’H comp describes the ;4ffflcntuea , o f , the march

. owing to the unwieldy baggage column, including all the tents nnd sheep, over bad roads in wet weather. The corre­spondent then goes bn to say: ;■., , .- VSoVrie 10,000 Boers lirrived .in the ,xi- clnity of jPotgiitcr'a drift oil Thursday

•and Friday of ln»t week;and begon the ■erection of extensive and formidable lines of trenches, for tbelr position ap­

parently could only lie turm-d froin thewest by assailing the bigh' ridges of the- Sproen kop.

"A ballooniBt today reported that no g n n B were visible in the enemy’s works, but that there was n large Boer camp in the direction' of Brakfontein, a brown ridge fonr miles from Potgieter’s drift.

“Boers arrived in large numbers today from Colenso and Ladysinith. They have certainly ruli IjrancIieH of tfu1 ' rjiilirijy from Modder ppniit around Mount Bul- waya. Nearly all the Boers have gone to attempt to check General Warren’s ad­vance, bnt he made no sign today.”

A Durban special, dated Thursday night; Bays: . S- “Ifr is reported here that Lord. D lIDdon- aid has s-,nashed a Boer convoy.

“General Bulier is said-tojbe within 12 ;miles of Ladysmith and. General Warren to' be altout six miles to the rear.”

their troops here. Heavy gun fire was henrd from Ladysmith this morning;

“General Boiler's order, instructs the mea.to heed tbe white flags^of the.Boers onljfwheri they lay down their arms. '. It also Instructs them., to beware of "false1 "igle calls.” ■ ' • •;

.“Jan., 16.—Buller’s second move was a ' reconnofssanee in force with an armored train and n large body supported by can­non toward Colenso last night. A heavy bombardment ensued, and thereupon the

. British"returned, having wounded one'ot our men. No reply was made. 'This move was a feint to cover extensive movements up the river. Kaffirs on this side of the Tugela have been warned by the British to leave their kraals,; as the fight will commence shortly.”• The second dispatch runs thus:

, , “Jan., 17.—The night was unbroken save for slight rifle encounters between outposts, which led to nothing. At'day­break the enemy was located as before. He had not brought a single gun acrosB the river, but from the ridges of Swartz kop a battery and a half of siege guns opened, on our position at 5 a.m .

“The bombardment was .probably, the most frightful ever witnessed on land.. Frequently five heavy naval guns fired simultaneously nt one Bchanze (intrench-' ment).” • "

A special service was held in St. Paul’s, cathedral last evenliig at which 800 city of London volunteers, the seebnd contin­gent to a’ttond such a service, were pres­ent. Lord Mayor'Newtori and'the sh&r-

A BREEZY MEETING OF

FIRE COMMISSIONERS

Members of the : Washington Company.

Objected Because the Firemen Were i\;- Not- Consulted; Before it^Was

Decided to Accept'art Offer.

■ Not a little stir was crested last night

by .members-of Washington Fire iomgsny , of Ocean Grove, nt a meeting ofWno ilro commissioners In the Washington and Stokes Are house.

The trouble arose over the decision of.

the commissioners to accept the offir

recently made by the Ocean Grove Camp

Meeting lAsaoclation. The nssociatlon.

gave outright, with only such restrictions

as apply to all property in Ocean Grove,

to the fire companies mentioned; a lot on

tbe southwest corner of Central avenue

and Oiin street, together with the lot now 1

occupied by the old englne-Eouse. The first lo t -mentioned -'has a frontage of

S lfee tlnO lln street, 91 feet, in Central avenue; nnd is GO -feet wide In the rear.

Tbe second Is 60x00. 'v;.

Not only have these lots been donated,

but It has also beeh specified that 'the fire companies shall’ be exempt from sewer; ■

water and electric light charges and asses- inenta on the land. The only restriction

In regard to. tho use to be made of the

property is that it Eh all be for the erection

of a lire house only. ■ . , " ' / Some members of the Washington com­

pany, who were represented by Georjge

and James Prldham and B. Frank Wain-

wrlght, objected to the fifecommissloneri’ action in accepting the properties without

consulting the firemen. The arguments

that passed--are said by members of the - fire department to; have been pretty Warm

for a time,but good nature soon prevailed.

The commissioners Bay they do not be­

ll ve they needed^) consult with the flre-

.men oif either of the comp'anles con­

cerned, since they were working In the interest,of.the wbole dapartment.. -

Some of the firemen object to the ac­ceptance of the offer, fearing that there Is

a string tied,to.,It Others believe that thie

offer Is made in good faith, and will not

obstruct the design sought to. be effected,

Io addition to tjjfecerectlon of new quar­

ters, which Is to have a hail in which.eri-

J«rtalnment8_may^b9 held.. .'fhenjigaln;lt

Is said the old location is undesirable. A

more prominent thoroughfare, is wanted^ ; In fact, a committee cbnslstlug of C. C.

Clayton and Harry Summers,' fire commls-

slouers. has been appointed lo ask theassociation to grant to the Washington

and-Stoke8 conlpanies the lot on the south­

west corner of Main and (Jentral avenues.

Next to the lot on New York and Maiii

avenueB, recently negotiated for, this lot Is regarded as the most suitable In Ocean

Grove. . ' V

ThWeTwhifare satisfied"With'thej;actt0n~ of the commissioners believe they will have all the privileges desired, hall In­

cluded. ,

A joint committee of both Companies

will be appointed to consult with tbe com­

missioners concerning the' plans and de­

tails of tbe proposed new engine house.

I t has been practically decided that 'the

structure will ba.bullt of. brick; .I t follows from the action taken last

night that; the lease of ..the lot at New

York and • Main avenues has been with­drawn. . —

How strange a combination — profane, intelligence I - Yet'It is a lamentable fact that some of the most intelligent aad polished men we meet use language that • hey would blush to have a woman hear.

It is not much that the volutrie of ex­ports and Imports last year for.the first time exceeded $2,000,000,000, but it is d gain of value beyond,calculation thnt the year completed the progress of the Unit­ed States from a'debtor to a creditor na­tion.

San Francisco m the horfte of the cable road, and It contains the biggest track for hauling the big cables us^d lor street railway traffic and the larg- est team of' horses ever put together to 4raw a single load. The numbers s t­ables in'use in'San Francisco find-the

frequency-with which the manufafilur- ers are called upon to move them, led to

. the laventlon oi the trbek,which weighs jn itself 15 tons I t has two wheels be­hind and four smaller wheels in front, the four in front being ar.rangedl on a single line, ’Xhese front wheels are on

. two separate axles, and the ({am has two tongues. This allows the two sets

<0f front wheels to' be inov.ed independ­ently of each other, and In case of need they may be turned a t opposite angles and made to serve as an additional brake to the ,truck. The Fulton, street

• cable, is 31,000 feeTlong, and the en- lire load weighed 130,000 pounds. To. support such a weight a wheel of special manufacture wiis necessary. The wheels are 16 inches broad and have a core of iron. They have two tires'. Be-

•r Imeen the core and tbe inner tire the . space is fliledl in with wooden wedges, so ingeniously arranged that the

..'."ifeight of the load has a tendency toriraw the wedges together rather than

. force them apart. Between the outer and Inner tires there is another and similar arrangement of wedges, Tho

. low body of the truckas of wood.The qables are loaded on between the

rear trucks, which are just wide enough apart, to permit the passage of -the reel, and the?process of loading lakes.about an hour. They may be un­loaded in 20 minutes.

The team which diraws this truck va­ries according to the size of the cable to be drawn. Tlie smallest is composed of 36 horses. When a eable of large size n to be hauled in rainy weather 60 horses are used. These horseajarft ar - .ranged four abreast, but the pair oh the right of each four 1e attached to the truck Independently of the pair on the left. This arrangement continues throughout the team, so t hat in reality the team is made up of two parallel teams,,harnessed two abreast and draw­ing v from independent” axles, and

• -tongues. The entire line of 28 horses on the right can be 6wung to the right and the line of 28 on the left swung in that direction, turning the two. .pairs of wheels in front' in opposite directions

- and forming an effective brake in case the strap brake on the rear wheels fails to hold on a steep grade. The horses are driven in sets of four, the drivers

the one at the side and the two in front. Sometimes the drivers, walk besid.e the

'■'team'.On asphalt streets, no matter ho.w

..nearly level the street may appear to

.the ordinary load, it is always uphill .-.work for this truck when loaded. The ; enormous weight has a tendency to make the asphalt pile up in front of

• the wheels, and it seems, a constant climb.. In wet weather the resistance

^requires fextrn. power, whence the use of ; additional horses. — San Francisco Chronicle.

“h have eonse fiCSbss a new Wn^ of a trade for you,” said a friend ib the saunterer the other day. "‘At lea'aft it is* new one on me. Did you ever hear oi B professional pawner?’1.

The saunterer had to confess his Ig ­norance, says the Philadelphia In-

giiirer. .“Well, it?s this w ay. There are lots

of manufacturers of articles of jewelry, of watches, of musical instruments a id jther things which would never .find « sale except o the veriest, duffers aud greenhorns, so* they have So get r id of them same other way. ‘Ohcle>l'b6meB in very, handy abo,ut this time, but tKedif- fioulty is to persuade.him to take the goods.

“But he. stacks up agaipst a veryhard - thitig. when he sseets ■ a : professional pawner.. These people aref generally women. Their business'is'to .so dbcfoi and prepare the goods as t,o deceive the sharpest.. In order' to 'make the decep* ,tion as; undetectable as .possible “ the 'foods' are jnade to appear old trad part­ly worn. Gold watches are first- rubbed with mud and water, and then a few scratches are carelessly but very artis­tically added to complete the verisimili­tude, ’ In the case of rings the insides are made to appear worn, and pieces of Jewelry rubbed on those portions which * -Ould ordinarily receive most wear and (iear. Now, here is the queerest port of -t'je whole job. AH of the tickets are ton; up and deit’foyed ns soon as the goods ore’ pledged. Hundreds of watches, rings, brooches and'-other ar­ticles' of ‘virtue and bigbtry,’ as Sairy I ’amp used to call them, are got rid of f'Cfthis way every year.

Teeth on Bdffe,

-^•“ Everj—-change- in---tho—street;_.car...' -transit facilities.in this city produces some new sensation to the riders. The latest of these fc felt by those.who

■ travel in the new 41-foot long, cross-"" ; seated cars of the Third avenue line. i‘and* is particularly noticeable: when' - the cars come to a stop, in the com-' fpurative quipt which then prevails the ' passenger -suddenly becomes aware i. of a peculiar noise anti ribratiou Which is transmitted throughout the body of the car, jqd appears to be caused by some one Ueing at ^-ork sawing

’the -track in two -under the car with a coarse-toothed saw.. I t is a sensation which has a tend­ency to set one’s teeth on edge, and the passenger' is glad when tlie car starts up again, hoping that he will soon be over that bad spot in the track.. lie discovers then that the sawingis still going on under him, and If he is nervous will be pretty nearly

: ready to leave the car to escape*it, when it will suddenly cense. After n period of quiet, during which the car may have made two or three stops,

i the sawing .will start up again, for a new effort. '

This annoying noise and vibration, is made bj- an electric motor and pump which is carried under tbe bottom of the car inclosed in a thick, wooden ease attached to the body of the car. Its work is to keep up the supply of

, air under .ptessum..which works tlie air brakes, and the reason it does not run all the time is-tihat it is so ar­ranged that it is only pu t in operation when.,the pressure in the air storage

-cylinder falls below a certain point. When tbis is reached a plunger falls :and makes, an electric, connection, which starts the pump motor and the pumping continues until the pressure reaches a maximum point, fixed at the w ill ot the company.

To ovoid the transmission ot the un­pleasant noise and vibration to the' car and passenjger, i t w ill probably be ;ieceEBtiry to eeparate the pump mor. fo r box from the qnr body aEfPfeuspend it on a spring connection.^—K. Y. Sun.,

The Boer girl of the.country districts of the South African republic is able to go to town only once or twice a year, and then it is to attend tlie nadit- ., maal, or communion, which is the chief festival of these deeply religious peo­ple, writes Howard C. fliilegas in Uuiii's' liome Journal-. The journej- to tlie iowii is niade in ox-teams. and may require a week’s or a monili’s time, Ijist vjA is always an epoch in a Boer girl's life, especially if she is about 1C, when bhe is supposed to have at- taineii'lhe matrimonial age. Then some tall, robust Boer youth, whom she has met at former aal-htmaals.-niay sum- 1 mon enough, courage to ask her wlieth- ; er he may call at her home and have • an. "up-sitting,” which, is n sort of ul­timatum before au ultimaUnn.

There will never be another seaside town in Monmouth county that will -compare- with the broad"streets and 'open spaces, such as shown on the map of Asbiiry Park, This assertion is based on the fact that all the ocean front lands between; Seabright and Barnegat are already laid out with streets averaging f i f t y p e r cen t .- lf .s s in width-tban those of Asbury.
