As the time for the political con
ventions approach it becomes more
apparent that the Republicans are go
ing to nominate Assemblyman Jackson
for senator. The Democrats, ns is
their custom, seem to be keeping low,
saying nothing, but watching to see
what the Repnblicans will do.
Although Assemblyman Gannon
has announced that he is not a can
didate for the democratic senatorial
nomination, it would appear that as
time passes he is really the man for
the Democrats to name and if this
was brought to bear upon Mr. Gan
non, it is very probable that lie
would accept. Mr. Gannon is per
fectly satisfied with going back to
assembly for another year, and
Constituents are perfectly satisfied
his record there,
the same time, this record would
|o a long way toward making Mr.
Hannon senator. The only other
I name mentioned prominently for the
Democratic nomination is that of
Mayoy^fehmann, of New Brunswick.
Politicians of both parties have de
clared that Mr. Jnckou,if he should be
the Republican nominee, conld beat
the Mayor at the county seat. This
being the case, Mr. Jackson has a
good chance in Pertli Amboy and if
he can carry both cities there is little
donbt but that he would be elected.
With Mr. Gannon on the democratic
ticket for senator, however, the Dem
ocrats could carry Pertli Amboy and
would have a fighting chance in New
Brunswick. It is very probable that
enongh votes in the township could
be secured to elect him. Mr. Gan
non’s handsome majorities in this
section of the county last year is
evidence of ins popularity au^Jiis as
sembly record has tended to increase
this.
The question of abolishing the
pound nets in New Jersey waters has
again come np and the Essex Fish
and Game Protective Association has
arranged to hold meetings in Newark
aud along the New Jersey coast to
open a campaign against the pound
net fishermen.
Pound nets raise a very interesting
point, which should be thoroughly
considered before acted upon. While
ibere are some bad features to the
wholesale manner of fishing, it might
be well for some of onr inland
neighbors to ask themselves whether
they would preter seeing a few of
their sportive friends going for a
days’ outing aud return with a string
ot fish which they divide among
themselves and a neighbor or two, or
wlietner tne.y would rather see the
fish man come along with the tooth
some blue or weak fish to sell so that
all might have a chance to enjoy a
good dinner.
If an angler comes home with a
string of seventy-five or 100 fish he is
at a loss to know what to do with
them all. His pride prevents him |
from selling them, and in a great
many instances the fish are wasted, j
Without the pound nets such catches
would be frequent.
No angler has been heard to com
plain of the lack of snort on Raritan
bay this summer and catches of over
100 weak fish have been numerous.
This, too, with the entire lower bav
filled with pound nets. At the same
time many fishormen have been earn
ing a good living all summer with
their nets and the tresh fish, thus
caught, have been peddled in all the
smronndiug towns as well as within
driving distauce inland, so that those
j who have not tho time to go fishing
! themselves, have been able to enjoy
a fresh blno or weak fish on his
dinner table quite often,
j There is uo doubt but that the
pound nets can be greatly overdone
and made a nuisance. At the same
time there is grave doubt as to the
nropriety of prohibiting them al
' together. In this re spect we take
issue with our contemporary the
Trenton Times.
HERRESHOFF A WIZARD.
Sir Thomas I.I|>lon Ai'knoiTlrdffH
That Helinncc Ik Beni Bunt.
SANDY HOOK. N. J„ Aug. 2!>
*'When England shall have produced a
Herreshoff I will again challenge foi
the America’s cup and not before.
American brains and American devel
opment in yacht building have ling
land beaten, and It is lit and right that
the cup should remain here to crown
your glorious achievement."
Thus spoke Sir Thomas Upton as he
stood on the deck of the Erin and
watched his Fife challenger. Shamrock
ill., riding out the storm which swept
the Horseshoe. It was five first time
the Irish baronet had spoken freely on
the subject since the cup races began,
and there w’as a note of pathetic sad
ness in his voice. Continuing, he said:
“It is not pleasant to say. but it is an
honest truth, the brains in yacht build
ing are in America. You have a wizard
in Herreshoff. He is as wonderful as
liis work. Who can fail to call him the
prince of yacht designers? His prow
ess is beyond question. 11 is great work
has been before our eyes, and none can

“While Hen-eslioiT i in A- -rc-a it
would be impos.-ibl for me to chal
lenge for the cup wiili any hope of
success. I see and know that as clear
ly as I ever saw and knew a tiling in
my life.

st thoroughly disappointed man.”

design to the best of England's talent.
He complimented Captain Harr and
said that he had no fault to find with
the way in which the Shamrock had
been handled.
“I hope,” he said, “that we will get a
good twenty-five knot breeze and a
heavy se* today. Then we will hare
had all the chances on the calendar to
try out the Shamrock's qualities.”

BERLIN, Aug. 29.—Emperor William
met Hans Fechner, the court portrait
painter, some days ago and asked him
to make a lithograph drawing of Pres

so and showed the result to his majes
ty, who had two copies struck off. One
of these wiM bo sent to Mr. Roosevelt.
The emperor kept the oilier one for
himself. No more copies will b« taken

MIMIC WARMS ENDED
Coghlan Supposad Ee Had
Won a Great Victory.
UMPIRES DECIDED AGAINST HIM.
La ml ins Party oi 1.HOO Men Was De
clared to Have Been Put Out of
Action Before Making
the* Shore.
PORTLAND, Me., Aug. 29.—At noon
the mimic wur waged off tills port
since midnight Tuesday with all man
ner of maneuvers by the navy will
come to an end. and the several thou
sand men hurried to the defense of the
city will be withdrawn from the harbor
defenses.
The movements in the last attack
brought on a fierce engagement, dur
ing which a landing party of 1,800 men
under Rear Admiral Coghlan captured
all the stations and defenses of the
Scape and Spurwin. The marines and
jaekies landed almost at dawn and
were engaged until afternoon, when
they returned to the fleet, which had
remained off Richmond’s island.
Hear Admiral Coghlan believed be
bad achieved the grandest victory of
the navy, but Lieutenant Jordan, in
mmnimul of the emrineer corps at the
Two Lights, was informed by telephone
that the umpires had decided that no
landing was effected by the invaders,
as the men and boats had been put out
of action before the landing was at
tempted; therefore the capture of all
the points on the cape, including the
signal, search light nnd tire control sta
tions at Two Lights, the defenses at
Silver Springs and the search lights at
Pond cove, was void.
After a stubborn resistance the out
er defenses of Cape Elizabeth were
captured after a vigorous bombard
ment by n force from the navy, and
1.600 men were landed. The outpost
and signal station at Spurwink river
also was taken. The movements of
landing parties were covered by the tire
of the fleet. With Long island and the
cape defenses in their hands the navy
now is in position to attack all other
points by land as well as by sea.
A former report that the Olympia
touched bottom during the maneuvers
has been officially continued.
An official message from the Olympia
to tile Kearsnrge intercepted at the
wireless telegraph station at Fort
Preble and made public officially con
firms the report of the grounding for
forty-five minutes during the war ma
neuvers of Admiral Dewey's famous
flagship. The message read:
“We are on the rocks. Double bottom
leaking. Can get off without assist
ance.”
She struck Star ledge in Luke's sound
at a point where the chart showed
twenty-six feet, hut which sounded
only twenty-four, or two feet less than
the Olympia’s draft. The war ship's
bottom was damaged, causing her to
leak, but the water taken in was con
trolled by the vessel’s dams, and her in
juries were not so serious but that she
was able to continue to take part In the
maneuvers.
The destroyer Worden, Hying the
white flag of truce, came into the har
bor at noon ami anchored off Fort
Preble. A boat was sent ashore bearing
a messenger who carried a message
from Hear Admiral Barker, command
ing tlie fleet, to General Chaffee,
commanding the department of the
east. General Chaffee was al Fort
Preble soon after and received the mes
sage. He refused to divulge its con
tents, saying it in no way interested
the public.”
The signal station at Two Lights has
been captured. The ultimate point of
the attack is at Fort Williams or Fort
Preble, probably the latter, on account
of the peculiar range of the mortar
batteries which command all the other
forts.
Major Duval lias abandoned his bat
tery at Williams and is \^th his coui
111■ itw 1 in the trenches to nrotect his rt^ir
from the enemy, who are now 2,(500
strong.
The fieet is at anchor at Trout's neck,
but it is expected it will come to the
support of the land forces and shell
the battery at the entrance of the har
bor.
Six hundred men are being sent to
the trenches at Treble and the trenches
of Meeting House hill. It will take
6,000 of tlie enemy to overcome tho
force.
Pour destroyers which ran in close to
the Two Lights and swept the shore
with their small rilles were tired upon
by Ports Williams and Levett and put
out of action.
Five Feet off Water In Many Houie«.
OMAHA, Neb., Aug. 29.—The town
of Fort Crook City, seven miles south

, MILITARY TRAIN WRECK.
Itallun Troop* For Army Hanenven
Meet With Disaster.
ROME, Aug. 2!h—A disastrous rail
way accident has out short the festivi
ties and demonstrations in honor of the
king and qneen at Udine, the chief
town on the eastern frontier, sixty
miles from Venice, where the sover
eigns had gone to view the army ma
neuvers.
A train overflowing with soldiers
collided near Udine with a freight
train. The force of fihe collision was
torrilic. Those on board were thrown
I in all directions, and the coaches were
broken up. Fifteen soldiers and one
eaptain were killed and over sixty in
jured, twelve dangerously so. The colo
nel in command of the soldiers was
among the injured.
Darkness rendered the confusion
about the.scone of the wreck extreme,
while the terror among those who e.;
i caped injury was increased when the
| trains took fire a few minutes after the
collision. Fortunately the flames were
immediately extin uislied.
King Victor Emmanuel visited the
hospital in person later to see the vic
tims of the accident.
Queen Helena accompanied the king
on his visit to the scene of the railroad
disaster and spoke words of sympathy
to each of the wounded, with whom
the king also shook hands. With the
royal couple were the minister of war
and the archbishop of Udine, the latter
having received a telegram from the
pope instructing him to visit the hos
pital and assist at the funerals of the
victims.
Unglrr Air Ship Cwrinl Avar.
WIDE WAVER, Va., Aug. ^.-Pro
fessor Bangley’s air ship houseboat had
another dangerous experience in a Po
tomac gale. Soon after the experts
gave up hopes of launching the aero
! drome at Clifton Beach a storm broke
furiously. The houseboat slipped her
; moorings and traveled rapidly down
1 stream for two miles, where her an
; chors caught in the mud bottom. A
few men were aboard, but tliey were
powerless, and the storm was too se
j yore' for any assistance to be afforded
by tlie tugs. Tiio small steam launch
tender, the float and three rowboats
were lost. The Hying machine was to be
lanmcbed today, but was so shaken up
tliat it may have to be repaired. The
machine was all ready to fly when the
ttreeze stiffened to ten miles an hour,
find the experiment was abandoned.
