MADOO ON RECIPROCITY.
Plain BiIIy's interesting Speech on the
Diplomatic Appropriation Bill.

fJcesaf 10 The JERSEY Cffg Neics.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5. 1ssi.-In speaking
to the Diplomatic Appropriation bill in
the House yesterday, Mr.. McAdoo, Of
New Jersey, expressed himself in favor Of
unlimited commercial freedom among the
countries OF America. But there were
many difficulties surrounding the ques-
ton OF reciprocity with Canada The
present Government of Canada was not
treating tue people OF the United States
fairly. 1t had attempted TO deceive its
own people by stating that the United
states was anxious for partial reciprocity.
He highly approved Of the letter of the
Secretary of state to the gentleman from
New York (Mr. Baker,, in which he had
clearly stated that the conteution Of the
Canadian statesman was untrue. He had
no hesitation In saying that the position
taken by the Secretary of State was an
eminently sound one-that we should
have Unrestricted trade aud commercial
union, or that we should have no CONNER
cial dealings with Canada.
In saying this he still deprecated the
existing tariff; but. on the other haud, he
could not believe (as coutended in Can
ada that the Tariff bill was intended as a
retaliation against Canada. The whole
trouble lay in the fact that there was in
Canada a small number of people who
were antagobistic TO the United States.
The relation Of Great Britain to Canada
was a valuable one to small portion of
the people OF the latter country. IL gave
them social. pecuniary and commercial
advantages, and did not interfere with
home affairs.
IL Sir John Mcdonald could carry out
the scheme he has presented to the Cana
dian people and TO the people of the
United States, Canada would be the most
fortunate of nations. The United States
did not desire to add single acre to its
imperial domains; but II the people of
Canada, in their sovereign capacity.
wished to MAINTAIN unrestricted relations
with the people OF the United States, then
they had but to rise In their sovereignty,
in spontaneous and unsought-for act, and
ask for annexation. which was the cut
ting Of the Gordian knot and the ultimate
destiny of the Canadian neonla

THE HUGE scAFFuLp MOVED.

the Work.
The huge travelling scaffold which is
used by the workmen in constructing the
massive iron roof of the new Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company's station In this
city was moved this morning Ever
since the object of the structure became
known Ii has been a matter of conjecture
as TO the manner in which the scaffold
was to be moved. II will be remembered
that IL is built on railroad trucks resting
on six tracks, and it was generally be-
lieved that 1t would require three or four
powerful locomotives to bulge it.
When il became necessary to move the
mass of timber this morning one OF the
new improved engines which proDels it.
self. and which is used for hoisting the
massive pins of iron into place, was made
ready. A system of ropes was attached
TO tue trucks aud connected with the
hawser of the engine in such a manner as
TO work as a lever. Workmen with crow
bars were then stationed at the rear
trucks. and at a given signal they all
pried the wheels forward in order TO start
the mass at all points at the same time.
Then the engine was started up aud
slowly the huge pile moved.
There was high wind blowing At the
time in the direction the scaffoId was
moved, and it did much toward helping
il along.
After the scaffold had been moved
about thirty feet an attempt was made 10
stop 1t, but it attained such an impetus
that il was found necessary to block the
wheels IL was moved In the direction OF
the river.

Special to the Jersey CifB Neics-
PRINCETON. Feb. 5, 1s91-Au effort is be-
ing made at Princeton College to increase
the library fund The endowment Of the
library has not been increased since
time when the Faculty was not more than
half its present size, and when there was
comparatively little original work going
gu. At present there Is very large
amount OF advanced work and original
research in the various departments,
both among the Faculty and among tue
rapidly increasing numbers of pp,t-grad-
nate students. such work requires ac-
cess to the latest literature. Several large
purchases have been made TO I'LL up the
gaps. especially in the department OF
science; but the annual appropriation
Is not sufficient to keep abreast with the
publications of value 10 special workers.
The Faculty Committee on the Library
will present to the trustees the import
ance of a material increase in the endow-
ment. Under DIR. Richardson. the new
librarian. a number OF reforms have al
ready been introduced in the direction of
greater liberty In the alcoves, and the
most recent system Of cataloguing has
been adopted Among the recent reforms
have been the throwing open OF the read
ing room for periodicals TO the students
hitherto this has been reserved for the
Faculty-the opening OF the library dur
ing the entire day, instead of closing at
noon, and increasing the table space and
other opportunities for work In the
library. DIR. Richardson's short admin
istration has been very popular both with
Faculty and students.
The Faculty Committee on Outdoor
Sports. as we'll as the Graduate Advisory
Committee, have taken an uncompromis-
ing attitude concerning the recent play
ing of football men in the Staten Island
Athletic Clubs games at the Madison
Square Garden. Before the game the
team asked permission to go, aud when
this was refused number OF individual
players went to New York and took part.
The committee are considering the ad-
visibility Of forbidding students to take
part In any outside athletic contests dur
ing term time, except in the inter-colle-
giate championship meeting in sthe Fall,
and in games with other colleges. The
opinion is expressed that the men have
too many demands made on their time by
large athletic clubs.
The Princeton College Biological Club
has been organized on a new basis this
year, and is doing valuable work. 1t is COM
posed of the nine resident mem bers of the
Biological Department, fifteen students
elected from the best specialists among
the seniors and Juniors, and about an
equal number of corresponding members.
graduates of the college. who are engaged
In teaching in other institutions. The
object is to combine the advantages OF a
scientific club with reports on the current
original work. Papers are read. followed
by free discussion, giving the students
the advantage of the seminary method.
The club meets once month in Biolog-
ical Hall. IL Is popular, and its work has
proved great success.

CAPE MAY, Feb. 5. 1s91.-The news of
the passage of the bin repeating the bor-
ough act of last year by the New Jersey
Legislature yesterday broke upon the
ears of the citizens of Cape May county
today with an unpleasant sound. The
Republicans and Democrats were alike
sad.
BY the act Cape May county is crippled
and its seven boroughs are again non
governed governments. They are now
hampered by different opinions about the
spring elections, appropriations and as
essment for taxes. The schools wilt have
to stop when the money runs out, unless
Senator Leaning and Assemblyman Cole
can get through the Legislature bill for
their relief
At Cape May Point the taxes of last
year have not been assessed or collected,
and as a consequence, no schools have
been open there for three months.
