Admiral's Arrival In tbe Wlady City Greeted by Dooming Cannon and 9 Cheering Throng*-An Invi - tation From Canada, ' CHICAGO, May 1„— Never fu tht his- tory of the great Auditorial has there ■been within its m ils n sight more beauti- ful tbnn that revealed lust, night when the yrent hail given in honor of Admiral jbewey wns nt its height. There have neon festal occasions without' number in the great hall—dunces for. charity, balls in honor of illustrious civilians, famous soldiers nnd distinguished foreigners—but Inst night was the first time that Chicago lias had within her gates ns n guest n dis- tinguished representative of tlie Ameri- can navy, the first time she has been por- ijnittod to pay her tribute of honor and jfes'pec't to the victor of Manila Bay, nnd' ihe utilized the opportunity to the full, r! There wns nothing wanting. It was a lecislve success from first to Inst in all ietails, from the decorations on the wnlls ,:o the reception proper which wns tender- ed to the admiral. There were present oerhnps somewhat too many people to al- low of dancing in comfort hnd nil or half it them cared to dance nt one nnd the inme time, but when the dance pro- srnmm.o wns fairly lindei; way the older jwiple sought the boxes and the spacious foyer, leaving vthe floor to the younger leople, who used it until daybreak. Fully ;,000 people wore present. ’’ ' ' ; It being a naval ball, tbe predominat-. ng decorations were of white nnd green. V canopy wns drtiwn over the hall, taak- ng it resemble a huge’ white capped vave, the deep green at the bottom shad- ng softly into the purest white at the opmost edge. At intervals around the iers of boxes were pluced white galleons rhich seemingly started from the mist of unting'nnd delicate lined "electric lights I’hich concealed them a few feet from he prow, where dolphins rose from the roaginnry sea below. Above eneh gal- lon rose a towering mass bearing in re- ef,a lion's head nnd fluttering with the ignnl flngB-of the nnvy. Behind'the fig- reliend of each galleon stood n sailor, a eternn of the Spnnisli-Amerienn war i'ho saw active service in'the Caribbean Until after the admiral left tbe hall aese men stood steadily peering out over le prow of the fanciful, and beautiful alp. The bases upon which the galleon psted.tho box fronts above and, higher et, the railings of the balconies 'were ?stooiied with the prevailing colors of reen and white,.while between each two axes anil at either end bf the low tiers ie national colors were artistically rouped with the union Jack. Long festoo'ns of electric lights marked ltemately by yellow lanterns and Jap- aese lanterns of many shades hung om top to top of the great white masts [tending around the liall. . On the right ad the ieft of what Ls usually the stage ; tbe great theatertsvere erected -plnt- irms of honor, upon the first of which te Admiral and Mrs. Dewey were seat- l within'handshaking distance of those jon the dancing floor. Upon the second atform.were seated Mayor and Mrs. arrison. Behind the admiral’s box was hung a ammoth admiral’s flag bearing the four hite stars of his rank. A canopy rc- londent -with gold braid hupg over each to protect those within from tho are of the many lights which shone >m the ceiling and sides of the hall. At ch of the two entrances to each box M& at “attention” two sailors from tho st: ship’s crew of the Illinois naval mi- ia. Ihe admiral’s train arrived at the and Central depot, Fifth avenue nnd arrison street, at 11 o’clock yesterday irnlng, six «minutes abend of schedule no, amid the booming of cannon and 'p cheers of hundreds of people'. The bgrnmme for the cntertninment of the y’s distinguished guest will take up nrly every moment of his time until his pnrture Thursdny morning for Jack- lville, Ills. Tlie route of the procession from tho pot to the annex: wns literally packed th enger sightseers, who almost contin- applauded tbe admiral. Arriving at tlie. hotel, Admlrnl Dewey leeedcd at once' to bis u’Jitirtments," lere, however, he w«b allowed to rest t briefly, for at 12:30 p. in. lie was es- •ted to an informal breakfast given the aiiral arid Mrs. Dewey by the. members the women’s reception committee.

Boosting of his affiliation with the esnnqpy clique, George W. Treat Monday night, in Common Council, advocated a shorter music season for Asbury Park, io order to savo $800 on the mnstc fund up proprlntlon. And ho did tbls in the face of the protest of Chairman Wilbur of the Mnsfc Committee aad the plea of W. Harvey Jones, who conducts tbe Colum- bia hotel. ' Mr. Jones said he found it his experience that people remained as long as they know tbe band ls here, whether they go to hear It or not. “The fact that there is music Is an Incentive'to remain and ss soon as tbe music cease# the dis- tress signal Is up and the people^eave.” 'M r. Treat said he favored a good band for a short season, “for tbe people towards tbe close do not care a rush whether the bund plays or not.” Quoth he; “I belong to the economy crowd and I am not ashamed to tell It,” and. then he went Into figures which he had memorized. Fprty-two hundred dol- lars Is enough ;for the music. Shorten the season ntkl get a good band for that time.” The dispute was whether $4,200 or $5,000 should be." appropriated'. Tbe Finance Committee In presenting its bud- get for the year recommended the first figure. Chairman Wilbur protested. There were only three members and the president present when the budget was presented; Tbe matter was tabled until Mr. Tuttle arrived. But Wilbur still ob- jected to any action unless he would be prnml^d $5,000. Tbls, of course, was not forthcoming. He saw he was In the minority, the economy clique being against him. Mr. Tuttle, when the appropriations had been taken from tbe table, said be knew little about tbe mnslc finances, but whs rather In favor qf a good band for a short season than a poor band a long sea- son. But he preferred to leave this dis- cussion for settlement till next Monday ’s meeting. Treat used Tuttle ’3 rt marks to suit hi» Own 'purpose, advocating a short season and a good band, which Tuttle later ex- plained waB not his meaning, since he be- lleved„tbe longerlthe band Besson the longer tbe resort’s season would be. In- cidentally, Tuttle slapped Treat by de- claring that.Ithough Treat belongB to the economy clique, Tattle will not belong to any crowd and In this matter.stood for a broader' economy than tbpt represented by any clique. Wilbur declared: MIt ls a mistake to place lathes upon the hotel, Windows be- fore the [season is closed, as will be done as soon as tbe band goes. It-is foolish economy." ft , William eks had a combination up his sleeve, a bandmaster’s bid some- thing like*this: Thirteen men for four weeks and seventeen men for ten weeks and • the price within-the appropriation. This naturally suited Treat. It was the very thing be deBtred. But 'Wilbur said: “You can’t get a good, strong band for less than five thousand dollars. And com- binations like tbat won’t work. You need a full band constantly.” The appropriation recommended by the c immittee, §4,200, was voted, the economy clique being in the majority with Presi- dent Applebj’s vote, which decided the tie and was given on roll call. Wilbur Insisted on recordibg hl3 pro-; test and declaiming any responsibility when the cry of poor music shall go up from the people. * APPROPRIATIONS. Common Councilnien Make Up the Annual Financial Budget for the Various j . City Departments. The following appropriations, regarded os the most Important, were made for this year last night by Common Council: Sprinkling, $2,050; garbage, $5,260; board ot health, $3,200; poor, $200; music, $ 1 ,200 ; electric lights, $0,800^ . Tney .are, with the exception of tbe electric light iteqo, tbe same as tbode made last year. Two .hundred dollars was added to this item on account of an Increase in the number of lights.

City Solicitor John F. Hawkins last night explained to Common Council the reason for the delay In consummating tbe deal whereby the city ls to purchase the beach front and the sewer Bystem from James A. Bradley. Mr. Hawkins declared most emphatically that as tbe matter now stands, with Mr. Bradley desiring the transfer to be made by condemnation pro- ceedings, and by Insisting oa the condi- tions he has annexed to the proposition offered the city, It ls utterly Impossible for the transfer to. be made, the spirit ol tho law being unalterably opposed tbore- to. But Mr. Hawkins also said he hns hopes that tbe scheme will go through, Implying thnt some other plan for bring- ing about 4the transfer will probably be decided on. v , / Mr.Hawklna’ words were: “Mr. Bradley has explained to me the conditions he de- sires to be annexed to the conveyance of the beach and the sewers to the city and that be desires them taken by condemna- tion proceedings. The question In my mind was, could the condemnation com- missioners take proceedings and annex any conditions to the conveyance to the city. I saw Mr. Bradley Friday, as soon as I could, after recovering, from my. Ill- ness, and .1 came to the conclusion that It Is impossible for condemnation commis- sioners to do anything but condemn. They exercise the right Df eminent do- main. -The only way under that right In which property can be conveyed is by condemnation. The law can condemn and compel a citizen to surrender his property. But conditions cannot he an- nexed. If condemnation proceedings were taken In the case of the beach the commissioners could not ntfy'btttkllngs can’t be erected at “Hie" foot of streets or that so many feet mast be added to the width of Ocean ayenue. “The attempt to annex conditions Js outside the pale of the law. “I had no description of the aewerST-lt was necessary to have that as well as of the beach. I asked Mr. Bradley under *fbat condition*^ conveyed and he explained the peculiar conditions of affairs.” Mr. Hawkins then told bow the sewers cut through Mr. Bradley's lands and thnt If the sewers be conveyed to tbe city it is necessary that Borne provision be made for changing tbe coarse of part fit the mains In.North Asbnry Ptirk, and near the beach. . ~ Continuing, the solicitor said; “Mr. Bradley believes the present system of sewerage will eventually be superceded by a better system, which shall do away with the emptying of the sewage Into the ocean. He wants a reservation to place his system in connection with such an Improvement. So you see the condi- tions are many and of such a nature that they are contrary to the spirit of the law. The only way to do Is to secure the prop- erty by agreement between the parties, the city and Mr. Bradley. ■ Condemnation is absolutely out of the question, tf by condemnation these conditions are an- nexed. “The thing can’t go through this year, that Is, you can’t make any Improvements on the bench this year. 1 have hopes tbat the thing will go through.’’ ' Mayor Ten Broeck urged speedy close of the negotiations, desiring a successful ending of them. A motion was carried that the city Solicitor’s report be received and that tlie beach purchase committee call on MrC Bradley to see if the deal can not be consummated by mutual agreement. —It was the opinion;of the mayor and several others that Mr; Bradley may be prevailed on to resign his office as coun- oilman, id" order that the deal may bo made without condemnation proceed, lags, and that after that Is done, he may be reappolnted to fill out bis un%xplred term. The committee will remain in consultation with Mr. HayvklnS, and at the proper time call on Mr. Bradley.

CARPENTER BOB EMMONS WOULD DIVORCE HIS WIFE Before Vice Chancellor Emery, at Newark, Mondov, the Husband Told of Hl 9 Wife’s Several Flirtations With an Unknown Stout Man. Residents of West Asbury Park were parties In proceedings for divorce, lri which testimony was heard Monday in chancery chambers before Vice Chan- ceilor Emery at Newark. They were Robert Emmons, a carpenter, and his wife, Catherine. The former is the pe- titioner, and was represented by Aaron E. Johnston. John F. Hawkins waB Mrs. Emmons’ counsol. > The couple were married February 1, 1885, at the First Baptist Church, Asbury Park. They lave one child, Viola, about thirteen yenrs old.' They lived at 1012 WeBt Cookman avenue, West Park. They remained together In the same house until October 10 last, when Mrs. Emmons lefi and took her daughter with her. The petitioner does not mention the name of the!co-respondeht, but describes him in the petition as a 'stout man with a dark moustache arid a darit hat..,. The petitioner .stated that vfjille, in the rooms of Mrs. Amanda Andreas, who re- sides on the other side at the sBme house in which the Emmons’ lived, Mrs. Em- mons had >stated that she would kill her htisb&nd and herself. He also swore that In August of last year he saw his wife with the stout man on the boardwalk. He had also seen them the May pre- vious and had then disguised himself.. His wife and her companion were on wheels, and he also had a bicycle. He had disguised himself by taming his coat intlde out and pulling a slouch bat over his face. Mrs. Emmons and the strange man had dismounted from their wheels and were walking. Mr. Emmons jumped off bis wheel and spoke to tbe man. , “Don’t you know this is my wife I” he said he aaked tbe man. “No,” the man answered. ...... Then, said be, the man asked Mrs. Em- mpns if Mr. Emmons was her husband,, and she told her companion that Mr. Em- mi'ns;. was not' her husband and that she did bot know him. September, he said, as he was en- terifjg his house by the front door, he saw S ’ffianleavfofg’fiy he frequently saw men, banging around his house. “Might they not have been hanging around' for beer?’’ inquired John' F. Hawking, 1 .. .. . “I never saw any of them going Into, the beer place,” said Emmons. Emmons said that his wife went to Long Branch and remained out late at night and when she would return, would tell him she had a “mash” In Long Branch, and had a good time with him. During tbe cross examination. It was developed by Mr. Hawkins that Mrs. Em- monpbad filed a.blll in chancery for ali- mony against her husband but that he had settled it. Amanda Andreas, who lived in the other side of the same hoOse as the Em- mons’, said she saw Mrs. Emmons seated in her kitchen one night , and.heard the voice of a man, not her husband, In tbe same room, . . _ Drummond Bennett, a young man, haB lived a great deal of the time with Mr. Emmons since Mrs. Emmons left him; He said they frequently went to church together and. that he himself went to church nearly every night. The proxim-, ity of Emmons’ hoiise -to the church was one of the reasons wh$r he remained with Emmons. He stated that one night he went to Emmons’ house with a nephew of Mr, Emmons. He said young Emmons went;to a back door while he stood at a window at the side of tiie house and. peeped through a window. He said that he saw Mrs. Emmons in her night robe, With bare^feet, and lean- ing over a strange man’s shoulder. After seeing this, young Emmons passed him in going from the rear door to the front, He did not call Emmons’ attention to it. He said hobbdy, asked him to look Into the window and that his errand, which was at 11 o’clock at night, was to accom- pany young Emmons, who wished to get a bicycle ride. Mr. Hawkins gave the witness a very severe examination and frequently em- barrassed him. — ' - The defence is an absolute denial of all the allegations -against M rs.. Emmons. Her husband was compelled to pay her $8 a week alimony, and settled by ’transfer- ring a house to her aud giving a mortgage for $ 1,000.

COMMON COUNCIL. The Property Owners in Kingsley Street Ask That the Citv Improve That Thoroughfare. Tbe following minor Items of business were considered by Common. Council last night: W. E. Taylor, secretary of Fire District No. 1 of Neptune township,asked that fire alarm box No. 82' be given an- other number, slbce tbe sounding bf tbat alarm conflicts with an alarm pf the same number In Ocean Grove. The ccmmunl- cation on tbe matter was referred to tbe Fire and Water Committee, with power to act. The petition made last fall by .hotel and cottage owners In the vicinity of At- lantic square to have abated the blowing of the, whistle of the miniature locomo- tive tbat draws cars on a toy railroad there ln' the summer season was again considered and a copy ordered to be sent to' James A. Bradley. Colonel F. W. Armstrong revived tho agitation by ask- ing for action on tbe petition. He de- clared the noises made by the whtitle to he a nuisance and menace. ' Mr. Treat, as chairman of the Fire and Water COffimlttee, said he had found .that it is too early to look up a plan for light- ing the.city most economically; since the present contract with the electric light company does not expire till June 1,1901, though'be thought last week the contract expired this year. The Fire and Water Committee was given power to act'on the application of W. Harvey Jones for per- mission to attach a tap to the. water main in Kingsley street, It being Mr. Jones’ de- sire to place fire hose on every floor of the Columbia hotel, in order to secure a discount on bis insurance. Mr. Treat an- nounced. that he will nejit Monday night again introduce the subject of water meters. :.V Superintendent of the Water Works John L.

HAVANA, May 1.—The Spanish con- sul general, Senor Sa^rnrio, .denies hav- ing cabled to Spnin that there were upris- ings in Cubn. He says he does not be- lieve such occurrences probnble nnd 1 thnt he could not have communicated an idea so nbsurd to his government. “No agita- tion exists,” he remarked, “and 1 do uot believe thnt nny will exist. So far ns I enn judge the relations between the Cu- bans nnd the Americans are most cor- dial.” General Wood, who wns asked, regard- ing the matter, replied: “At no time since the occupation of the Island has the province of Santiago been SO absolutely quiet and -restful as it is at present... I huye assurances to this effect from many officers nnd otherq who have very recently been.through the province on ■ horseback. These alarmist reports published In M&drifl could probably be traced to men like Miro and other former Spanish officers nbw resident :in Cuba. Fearing lest the extreme Cuban element . mny come into power nfter the municipal elections; these people are now doing nil in their power to make it,appear that dif- ficulties exist, hoping thereby.,to force the United States government to take',S Bome action which might precipitate trou- ble.” . Coionel Vnliente, formerly chief pf the ratal, gunrd in Snntiago province, who recently arrived here, laughs ntitiie idea of'+rouble of any kind there. •He says he has recently been over'the'whole district nnd thnt it Is “as quiet as a New England village,” 1; ' : .; General Adna R. Chaffee has request- ed to be relieved as chief of staff to the governor general. He also desires four months’ leave of absence. His loss will be greatly felt in Havana, for his special knowledge of the local situation made him exceedingly valuable at division headquarters. More, than this,-General • Chaffee and Mrs. Chaffee are very popu- lar socially and will be keenly missed. Various changes, in the cabinet will be made today. Senor Perfecto Lacoste will take the portfolio of agriculture, com- merce and industry; Senor Berrciro will take that of justice,, Senor Estevez re- signing it in accordance with tho. arrunge- -*J«*eo=j menf'tic -mnde-with' OeaeM ^Vtxnt’whtm the position was offered him—namely, that he was not to be asked to continue in office after April owing to tlie deniands of his private business; Senor Varqna will take the portfolio of public instruc- tion, and Senor Caaei, now undersecre- tary of finance, will undertake the’duties of chief secretary- of that department. Mr, Alexis E. Frye, superintendent of Cuban schools, will soon issue a circular to the teachers giving them details re- garding the trip to the United States. He says he will take about 45 per cent of the tencbers, the selection of those to go rest- ing with the mayors of the municipalities. According to Mr. Frye’s statement, there is not a teacher who does not want to, go. He haB told the Havnnti teachers , that those Who desire to travel together should form groups of five or six, giving him the names, and that he will make ar- rangeirients to let them make the journey in company. Mr. Frye deeply regrets his inability to arrange to take, all the teach- ers. Many will necessarily be disappoint- ed, but those who remain behind will atr tend the normal school for six weeks. Tlie tragic death of MrR. Wilson hns touched nil classes of Cubans, and ex- pressions of sympathy nre frequent and sincere. The Discusion says, “Were the remains interred in Cuba our people would never be wanting in floworS and tears for the grave.” The Lucha says,- “The Cubans hnve lost n sincere and sympathetic friend.” A ShnrtnRre of Pnpcr. MONTREAL Mny 1-M r. W. I).

' CHICAGO, May 1„— Never fu th t his­to ry of the great A u d ito ria l has there ■been within its m il s n sight more beauti­ful tbnn that revealed lust, night when the yrent hail given in honor of Admiral jbewey wns nt its height. There have neon festal occasions without' number in the great hall—dunces for. charity, balls in honor of illustrious civilians, famous soldiers nnd distinguished foreigners—but Inst night was the first time that Chicago lias had within her gates ns n guest n dis­tinguished representative of tlie Ameri­can navy, the first time she has been por- ijnittod to pay her tribute of honor and jfes'pec't to the victor of Manila Bay, nnd' ihe utilized the opportunity to the full, r! There wns nothing w an ting . I t was a lecislve success from first to Inst in all ietails, from the decorations on the wnlls ,:o the reception proper which wns tender­ed to the admiral. There were present oerhnps somewhat too many people to al­low of dancing in comfort hnd nil or half i t them cared to dance nt one nnd the inme time, but when the dance pro- srnmm.o wns fairly lindei; way the older jwiple sought the boxes and the spacious foyer, leaving vthe floor to the younger leople, who used it until daybreak. Fully ;,000 people wore present. ’’ ' ' ;I t being a naval ball, tbe predominat-.

ng decorations w ere of white nnd green. V canopy wns drtiwn over the hall, taak- ng it resemble a huge’ white capped vave, the deep green a t the bottom shad- ng softly into the purest white a t the opmost edge. A t intervals around the iers of boxes were pluced white galleons rhich seemingly started from the mist of u n ting 'nnd delicate lined "electric lights I’hich concealed them a few feet from he prow, where dolphins rose from the roaginnry sea below. Above eneh gal­lon rose a towering mass bearing in re­ef,a lion's head nnd fluttering with the ignnl flngB-of the nnvy. Behind'the fig- reliend of each galleon stood n sailor, a eternn of the Spnnisli-Amerienn w ar i'ho saw active service in 'the Caribbean

Until after the admiral left tbe hall aese men stood steadily peering out over le prow of the fanciful, and beautiful alp. The bases upon which the galleon psted .tho box fronts above and, higher et, the railings of the balconies 'were ?stooiied with the prevailing colors of reen and white,.while between each two axes anil a t either end bf the low tiers ie national colors were artistically rouped with the union Jack.Long festoo'ns of electric lights marked ltem ately by yellow lanterns and Jap- aese lanterns of many shades hung om top to top of th e great white m asts [tending around the liall. . On the right ad the ieft of what Ls usually the stage ; tb e great theatertsvere erected -plnt- irms of honor, upon the first of which te Admiral and Mrs. Dewey were seat- l w ithin 'handshaking distance of those jon the dancing floor.

ECONOMIC C0UNCILMEN *' FAF0R CHEAP MUSICIANS

Alderman Treat, Boasting of His Aifilia-tion With tho Economists’ Clique,

Would Shorten the Music Season to Save a Few Dollars.

Boosting of his affiliation w ith the esnnqpy clique, George W. Treat Monday night, in Common Council, advocated a shorter music season for Asbury Park, io order to savo $800 on the mnstc fund up proprlntlon. And ho did tbls in the face of the protest of Chairman W ilbur of the Mnsfc Committee aad the plea of W. Harvey Jones, who conducts tbe Colum­bia hotel. ' Mr. Jones said he found it his experience that people remained as long as they know tbe band ls here, whether they go to hear It or not. “The fact that there is music Is an Incentive'to remain and ss soon as tbe music cease# the dis­tress signal Is up and the people^eave.” 'M r . Treat said he favored a good band

for a short season, “for tbe people towards tbe close do not care a rush whether the bund plays or not.” •

Quoth he; “I belong to the economy crowd and I am not ashamed to tell It,” and. then he went Into figures which he had memorized. Fprty-two hundred dol­lars Is enough ;for the music. Shorten the season ntkl get a good band for that tim e.”

The dispute was whether $4,200 or $5,000 should be." appropriated'. Tbe Finance Committee In presenting its bud­get for the year recommended the first figure. Chairman W ilbur protested. T here were only three members and the president present when the budget was presented; Tbe m atter was tabled until Mr. Tuttle arrived. But W ilbur still ob­jected to any action unless he would be p rn m l^d $5,000. Tbls, of course, was not forthcoming. He saw he was In the minority, the economy clique being against him.

Mr. Tuttle, when the appropriations had been taken from tbe table, said be knew little about tbe mnslc finances, but whs rather In favor qf a good band for a short season than a poor band a long sea­son. But he preferred to leave th is dis­cussion for settlement till next Monday ’s meeting.

Treat used Tuttle ’3 rt marks to su it hi» Own 'purpose, advocating a short season and a good band, which Tuttle later ex­plained waB not h is meaning, since he be- lleved„tbe longerlthe band Besson the longer tbe resort’s season would be. In ­cidentally, Tuttle slapped Treat by de­claring that.Ithough Treat belongB to the economy clique, T attle will not belong to any crowd and In this matter.stood for a broader' economy than tbpt represented by any clique.

W ilbur declared: MIt ls a mistake to place lathes upon the hotel, Windows be­fore th e [season is closed, as will be done as soon as tbe band goes. It-is foolish economy." f t ,

W illiam eks had a combinationup h is sleeve, a bandmaster’s bid some­th ing like*this: Thirteen men for four weeks and seventeen m en for ten weeks and • the price w ith in -the appropriation. This naturally suited Treat. I t was the very th ing be deBtred. But 'Wilbur sa id : “ You can’t get a good, strong band for less than five thousand dollars. And com­binations like tbat won’t work. You need a full band constantly.”

T he appropriation recommended by the c immittee, §4,200, was voted, the economy clique being in the majority with Presi­den t A pplebj’s vote, which decided the tie and was given on roll call.

W ilbur Insisted on recordibg hl3 pro-; test and declaim ing any responsibility when the cry o f poor music shall go up from the people. *

BEACH PURCHASE SCHEME STILL HELD IN ABEYANCE

Property Can’t be Acquired ’ bj; City byCondemnation Proceedings if Founder

Brad(ey Insists on Annexing Conditions to Transfer.

City Solicitor John F. Hawkins last night explained to Common Council the reason for the delay In consummating tbe deal whereby the city ls to purchase the beach front and the sewer Bystem from Jam es A. Bradley. Mr. Hawkins declared most emphatically that as tbe m atter now stands, w ith Mr. Bradley desiring the transfer to be made by condemnation pro­ceedings, and by Insisting oa the condi­tions he has annexed to the proposition offered the city, It ls utterly Impossible for the transfer to. be made, the sp irit ol tho law being unalterably opposed tbore- to. B ut Mr. Hawkins also said he hns hopes that tbe scheme will go through, Implying thnt some other plan for bring­ing about 4the transfer will probably be decided on. v , /

Mr.Hawklna’ words w ere: “Mr. Bradley has explained to me the conditions he de­sires to be annexed to the conveyance of the beach and the sewers to the city and that be desires them taken by condemna­tion proceedings. The question In my mind was, could the condemnation com­missioners take proceedings and annex any conditions to the conveyance to the city. I saw Mr. Bradley Friday, as soon as I could, after recovering, from my. Ill­ness, and .1 came to the conclusion that It Is impossible for condemnation commis­sioners to do anything bu t condemn. They exercise the right Df eminent do­main. -The only way under that right In which property can be conveyed is by condemnation. The law can condemn and compel a citizen to surrender his property. But conditions cannot he an­nexed. I f condemnation proceedings were taken In the case o f the beach the commissioners could not ntfy 'btttkllngs can’t be erected at “Hie" foot of streets or that so many feet m ast be added to the width of Ocean ayenue.

“The attem pt to annex conditions Js outside the pale of the law.

“I had no description of the aewerST-lt was necessary to have that as well as of the beach. I asked Mr. Bradley under *fbat condition*^conveyed and he explained the peculiar conditions of affairs.”

Mr. Hawkins then told bow the sewers cut through Mr. Bradley's lands and thnt If the sewers be conveyed to tbe city it is necessary that Borne provision be made for changing tbe coarse of part f i t the mains In .N orth Asbnry Ptirk, and near the beach. „ . ~

Continuing, the solicitor said; “ Mr. Bradley believes the present system of sewerage will eventually be superceded by a better system, which shall do away with the em ptying of the sewage Into the ocean. H e wants a reservation to place h is system in connection with such an Improvement. So you see the condi­tions are many and of such a nature that they are contrary to the spirit of the law. The only way to do Is to secure the prop­erty by agreement between the parties, the city and Mr. Bradley. ■ Condemnation is absolutely out of the question, tf by condemnation these conditions are an­nexed.

“The thing can’t go through this year, that Is, you can’t m ake any Improvements on the bench this year. 1 have hopes tbat the thing will go through.’’ '

Mayor Ten Broeck urged speedy close of the negotiations, desiring a successful ending of them. A motion was carried that the city Solicitor’s report be received and th a t tlie beach purchase committee call on MrC Bradley to see if th e deal can not be consummated by mutual agreement. —I t was the op in ion ;of the mayor and several others that Mr; Bradley may be prevailed on to resign his office as coun- oilman, id" order that the deal may bo made without condemnation proceed, lags, and that after that Is done, he may be reappolnted to fill out bis un%xplred term . The committee will rem ain in consultation with Mr. HayvklnS, and at the proper tim e call on Mr. Bradley.

CARPENTER BOB EMMONS WOULD DIVORCE HIS WIFE

Before Vice Chancellor Emery, at Newark, Mondov, the Husband Told of Hl9

Wife’s Several Flirtations With an Unknown Stout Man.

Residents of West Asbury Park were parties In proceedings for divorce, lri which testimony was heard Monday in chancery chambers before Vice Chan- ceilor Emery at Newark. They were Robert Emmons, a carpenter, and his wife, Catherine. The former is the pe­titioner, and was represented by Aaron E. Johnston. John F. Hawkins waB Mrs. Emmons’ counsol. >

The couple were married February 1, 1885, at the First Baptist Church, Asbury Park. They lav e one child, Viola, about thirteen yenrs o ld .' They lived at 1012 WeBt Cookman avenue, W est Park. They remained together In the same house until October 10 last, when Mrs. Emmons le fi and took her daughter with her. The petitioner does not mention the name of th e ! co-respondeht, but describes him in the petition as a 'stout man with a dark moustache arid a darit hat..,.

The petitioner .stated that vfjille, in the rooms of Mrs. Amanda Andreas, who re­sides on the other side at the sBme house in w hich the Emmons’ lived, Mrs. Em­mons had > stated th a t she would k ill her htisb&nd and herself. He also swore that In August of last year he saw his wife with the stout man on the boardwalk.

H e had also seen them the May pre­vious and had then disguised himself.. H is wife and her companion were on wheels, and he also had a bicycle. He had disguised himself by tam ing his coat intlde out and pulling a slouch bat over his face. Mrs. Emmons and the strange man had dismounted from their wheels and were walking. Mr. Emmons jumped off bis wheel and spoke to tbe man. ,

“ Don’t you know this is my wife I” he said he aaked tbe man.

“No,” the man answered. ......Then, said be, the man asked Mrs. Em-

mpns if Mr. Emmons was her husband,, and she told her companion that Mr. Em- mi'ns;. was no t' her husband and that she did bot know him.

September, he said, as he was en- terifjg his house by the front door, he sawS ’ffianleavfofg’fiyhe frequently saw men, banging around his house.

“M ight they not have been hanging around' for beer?’’ inquired John ' F. Hawking, 1 .. .. .

“I never saw any of them going Into, the beer place,” said Emmons.

Emmons said that his wife went to Long Branch and remained out late at night and when she would return, would tell him she had a “mash” In Long Branch, and had a good tim e with him.

During tbe cross examination. It was developed by Mr. Hawkins that Mrs. Em- m onpbad filed a.blll in chancery for ali­mony against her husband but that he had settled it.

Amanda Andreas, who lived in the other side of the same hoOse as the Em ­mons’, said she saw Mrs. Emmons seated in her kitchen one night , and.heard the voice of a man, not her husband, In tbe same room, . . _

Drummond Bennett, a young man, haB lived a great deal of the tim e with Mr. Emmons since Mrs. Emmons left him; He said they frequently went to church together and. that he himself went to church nearly every night. The proxim-, ity of Emmons’ hoiise -to the church was one of the reasons wh$r he remained with Emmons. He stated that one night he went to Emmons’ house with a nephew of Mr, Emmons. He said young Emmons went;to a back door while he stood at a window at the side of tiie house and.peeped through a window.

H e said that he saw Mrs. Emmons in her night robe, With bare^feet, and lean­ing over a strange man’s shoulder. After seeing this, young Emmons passed him in going from the rear door to the front, H e did not call Emmons’ attention to it. H e said hobbdy, asked him to look Into the window and that his errand, which was at 11 o’clock at night, was to accom­pany young Emmons, who wished to get a bicycle ride.

Mr. Hawkins gave the witness a very severe examination and frequently em ­barrassed him. — ' - ’

The defence is an absolute denial of all the allegations -against M rs .. Emmons. Her husband was compelled to pay her $8 a week alimony, and settled by ’transfer­ring a house to her aud giving a m ortgage for $1,000.

HAVANA, May 1.—The Spanish con­sul general, Senor Sa^rnrio, .denies hav­ing cabled to Spnin th a t there were upris­ings in Cubn. H e says he does not be­lieve such occurrences probnble nnd1 thnt he could not have communicated an idea so nbsurd to his government. “No agita­tion exists,” he remarked, “and 1 do uot believe thnt nny will exist. So fa r ns I enn judge the relations between the Cu­bans nnd the Americans are most cor­dial.”

General Wood, who wns asked, regard­ing the m atter, replied:

“A t no time since the occupation of the Island has the province of Santiago been SO absolutely quiet and -restful as it is a t present... I huye assurances to this effect from many officers nnd otherq w ho have very recently been.through the province on ■ horseback. These alarm ist reports published In M&drifl could probably be traced to men like Miro and other former Spanish officers nbw resident :in Cuba. Fearing lest the extreme Cuban element . mny come into power nfter the municipal elections; these people are now doing nil in their power to make it,appear th a t dif­ficulties exist, hoping thereby.,to force the United S tates government to tak e ',S Bome action which might precipitate trou­ble.” .

Coionel Vnliente, formerly chief pf the ra ta l, gunrd in Snntiago province, who recently arrived here, laughs ntitiie idea of'+rouble of any kind there. • He says he has recently been over'the'w hole district nnd thnt it Is “as quiet as a New England village,” 1; ' : .;

General Adna R. Chaffee has request­ed to be relieved as chief of staff to the governor general. H e also desires four months’ leave of absence. H is loss will be greatly felt in Havana, for his special knowledge of the local situation made him exceedingly valuable a t division headquarters. More, than this,-G eneral • Chaffee and Mrs. Chaffee are very popu­lar socially and will be keenly missed.

Various changes, in the cabinet will be made today. Senor Perfecto Lacoste will take the portfolio of agriculture, com­merce and industry; Senor Berrciro will take th a t of justice,, Senor Estevez re­signing it in accordance with tho. arrunge-

-* J«*eo=j menf'tic -mnde-with' OeaeM V txnt’whtm the position was offered him—namely, th a t he was not to be asked to continue in office after April owing to tlie deniands of his private business; Senor Varqna will take the portfolio of public instruc­tion, and Senor Caaei, now undersecre­tary of finance, will undertake the’duties of chief secretary- of th a t department.

Mr, Alexis E . Frye, superintendent of Cuban schools, will soon issue a circular to the teachers giving them details re­garding the trip to the United States. H e says he will take about 45 per cent of the tencbers, the selection of those to go rest­ing with the m ayors of the municipalities.

According to Mr. F rye’s statement, there is not a teacher who does not want to, go. H e haB told the Havnnti teachers , th a t those Who desire to travel together should form groups of five or six, giving him the names, and th a t he will make ar- rangeirients to let them make the journey in company. Mr. F rye deeply regrets his inability to arrange to take, all the teach­ers. Many will necessarily be disappoint­ed, but those who remain behind will atr tend the normal school for six weeks.

Tlie tragic death of MrR. Wilson hns touched nil classes of Cubans, and ex­pressions of sympathy nre frequent and sincere. The Discusion says, “ Were the remains interred in Cuba our people would never be wanting in floworS and tears for the grave.” The Lucha says,- “The Cubans hnve lost n sincere and sympathetic friend.”

MRS. GRISON OBJECTS. .

She Would Prevent Druggist S tew art FromImproving His Cookman Avenue Store.Mrs. -Emma Grison of 704. Cookman

avenue appeared before Common Council last nigjit to protest against.an improve­m ent to be made by Thomas M. Stewart, a druggist at 700 Cookman aveiiue, to his place of business. Mrs. Grison says she does not want Mr. Stewart to build a for­ward extention of only one story, neither does she want him to bulld 'an areaway lb the pavement on the Bond street side of his building. She declared th a t“yeata ago, when I had plenty of money to throw away, and asked Mr. Stewart to Im­prove his property with mine, he refused.”

President Appleby tried to explain to her that the council had no jurisdiction In the affair, since, the deed to Mr. Stewart's property gave him the right to make his improvements; "but Mrs. Grison said “Of course, I can’t be expected to understand these things; I 'm not in tbe ring. I ’m only a bine woman.” S .

WOULD STOP CARPET BEATING.

Col. F. Wv Armstrong Complains of the Dust Kickcd Up by Housekeepers.

Carpet beating was a subject consid. ered Common Council last night. An ordinance presented by MY. Tuttle, who deceived It from Colonel F. W. Arm­strong, tbe purport of which prohibited that necessary household exercise, created tbe discussion. Form er Councilman W. H irvey Jones, by permission of the coun. oil, said that the man who would present such an ordinance knew little of the busi­ness of housekeeping. , Colonel Arm­strong then revealed himself as the author of tbe ordinance and said he had learned all he desired from the dust and' d irt created by carpet beating.

Tbe question arose, where shall this beating process end ? William L. Weeks said a fellow can’t shake his coat out of the window, and another K g g este irth iitlt would debar one from waving a handker­chief from the window and so destroy the pleasures of a last goodbye between lov­ers. Of pourse, nothing was done.

yesterday, ptiSROd the Lneey bill to en­large the powers of the dopnrtuieht of agriculture- and to prohibit interstnte commerce in gnnie killeii in violation of local laws.. I t authorizes the secretary of agriculture to provide for the introduc­tion and restoration of came, song and Insectivorous wild.birds. I t gives him the

, ppwer to prevent the introduction o f 1 un­desirable foreign birds and nuimals i\nd prevents the killing of.gnnie in violation J t state laws for concealed shipment to ■tat£8 wher^ it can be sojd lu the open markets.. The senate bill to create <1 commission of. five to investigate and re­port upon the •commercial and industrial conditions iu Chinn and Jnpan wns debat­ed a t length, but was vigorously antago­nized by the Democrats, and they finally . succeeded in striking out the enaciffig clause in committee, aud this motion was pending when the house adjourned. If the motion prevails in the house, the bill is dead.

" The bill for a constitutional amendment to disqualify polygamists for election as

" senators and representatives and to pro­hibit polygamy, which was reported by the' committee, on the election of presi­dent, vice president and representatives in congress, was referred to the commit­tee on judiciary a fte r meeting with op­position from bo th ' sides of the house. Every speaker who antagonized the -bill said he opposed polygamy, but did not see any reason for legislating'in the con­stitution and invading the rights of the states. The. house agreed to the confer­ence report on the joint resolution ox-

: tending the tenure of military oliicers in Porto Rico. ‘ '

. Again the question of expressing sym­pathy for the-Boers was thrust npon the Attention o f the senate. This time it camp up on a motion to proceed to the ponsideration of the resolution introduced l>y Mr. —PettigroflSfc'of—SoWth Dakota which was before the senate last' Satur-

; day. The motion was defeated—29 to 20.Late in the session the senate a fter brief

■S' discussion agreed to the conference report on the joint resolution relating to the. ad­ministration of civil affairs- in Porto Rico and providing fo r ,th e appointment of temporn?y officers on the island.

During" the greater part of the session the Alaskan civil code bill was under con­sideration, but no progress "was made.
