When the question of taking up the Canadian reciprocity measure was up for consideration and a vote was taken as to whether it would be the order of the day, or the District of Columbia bill would be taken up, the Jersey delegation was very much mixed in its vote. Two of the Democrats, both of whom were present, voted in favor of resentatives taking it Hamill up. They and were Hughes. The other Democrat, Representative Kinkead, was at home on important business, and he was paired with Representative Smith of Michigan, a Republican, Representative Howell is in favor of the Canadian reciprocity and he was "paired" with Mr. McMorran, a Republican, who is against it, and called out of town by illness in the family.

Representative Loudenslager and Representative Wood, both whom are absent on account of illness, were "paired" in party lines as being with the majority. Representative Fowler and Representative Parker were both recorded as "not voting," which means both were absent for reasons best known to themselves. Mr. Parker, it is probable, was busy with the committee investigating the affair in which Representative Macon and a newspaper man figured. With Champ Clark, the next speaker of the House of Representatives, committed to the policy of reciprocity with Canada, there is no question as to what will happen to the treaty should the Senate refuse to ratify It and the matter should go over for an extra session Congress.

Mr. Clark is in favor of reciprocity with all parts of the world. So is President Taft. That there would be no trouble getting suhc a bill through the House of Representatives in the Sixty-second Congress, becaues, should the Senate to early action in that Congress, there would be no limit as to time in the event of an extra session being called. There is some opposition in the Senate to the old age pension bill as reported by the Pension Committee.

It is identical with the bill which passed the House except that the highest amount, that of thirty-six dollars a month, was cut down to thirty dollars a month. making a Teduction in the aggregate of about five millions of dollars. Should the bill become a law it will add close to forty millions of dollara to the present pension roll, which is close to $150,000,000. The session is 80 near finished that the pension bill may be sidetracked by the opposition and it may fail of passage. Representative Howell has received a petition from the Patriotic Sons of America, of Smithburg, in favor of the bill requiring an educational test for aliens entering this country, also a petition from Middiesex Lodge, International Machinists of New Brunswick, in favor of the eight hour law for the navy yards, United States Senator Kean had a bill to authorize the North Pennsylvania Railroad Company and the Delaware and Bound Brook Railroad Company to construct a bride across the Delaware River near Trenton, called up in the Senate and passed.

The site of the New Jersey end. of the bridge is near the borough of Yardley. Representative Wood has received a petition from Hamilton Grange, of Hamilton Square, objecting to the Canadian reciprocity. Mr. Wood has also received a petition from Hopewell Junior Order of United American Mechanics, in favor of the educational test.

Representative Gardner has introduced a bill to increase the pension of Margaretta B. Hodson al and a bill to increase the pension of Rebecca Pedrick. Representative Wood has prevailed upon Ambassador Bryce of Great Britain, to speak at the annual banquet of the Chambers of Commerce, at Trenton, on March 7th. The ambassador is considered an accomplished after-dinner speaker, and will entertain the members of the Chambers of Commerce. Representative Parker has Introduced a bill to provide for the ad-1 ministering of oaths by certain of the government.

Senator Kean has introduced a bill to increase the pension of Margaret Petrie. While the debate has been going on in the Senate on the famous Lorimer case, Senator Kean often presides over the Senate. HENRY CHAMBERLAIN DIES. Author and Correspondent Had Lived In London Since 1892. London, Feb.
