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 /■. have admired the Ib'iiam- - n-o:.. ti :•» I.

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.” Kaifter Drawing of Ii»onrvfH. 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 ident Roosevelt Fechner's lithograph of the emperor having been most wide ly circulated In Germany.

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 of Omaha, is under water, which is five feet deep in many homes. Only five houses remain on dry ground, and the Missouri Pacific station is partly submerged. The sudden flood was caused by a cloudburst above there. Fifty families are being taken care of in tents on hillsides. Dnmkni SvuHle Cuucietl Death. SCRANTON, Rn., Aug. 29.

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. 1 If the new comet isn’t careful, says the (jliicago Tribune, it is likely to get some cl its numerous tails entangled in tha tfcndle of the great dipper. / i Won't Give I,pIihiiiI>'n Men.
