TRENTON. y. J.. May 12.-The responsibility
for the error making necessary n special session
Of the Legislature has been located. To-day
Miss Margaret Williams. clerk in Dairy Com
missioner McGuire's Office, admitted that the
mistake was hers.
She said that on the last day of the session
Frank Bergen, the Elizabeth lawyer. who was
one Of the leaders of the anti-race track crusade,
brought her the skeleton fan Assembly bill and
asked her to copy 1t and at the same time to
copy into IL at the proper place the text OF the
amendments which had passed the Legislature.
Miss Williams says abe copied the paragraphs
and Mr.. Bergen took the bill away without com
pairing II. In the closing hours It was rushed
through both houses without reading.
This explanation relieves the Senate engross-
ing department. The error Is no. In one OF the
amendments. but in the Assembly bill, which
Miss Williams was asked to copy and which
provides for submission OF the amendments TO
popular vote Sept. 2s. The only expense for
the special session will be for the services of
minister to make the opening prayer. The mem
bers, officers. and clerks are paid by the year.

CITY oy MEXICO, May lathe continual fall
In silver and rise in the price OF exchange is
causing CONSERVATION in commercial classes
here that deal in merchandise imported from
abroad. Bankers here say that exchange will
yet rise, and the general opinion is that they are
right. The dry goods importers, all French. arc
the principal sufferers, and the alarming EuctuA-
tions In exchange play havoc with them In the
pricing OF their goods.
Importers OF American merchandise arc also
su1erers though the longer credit given by
French sellers makes Il worse for the pur-
chAssrs OF French goods than on deals made
with American nrms which do business only on
short time.
Shrewd American merchants here have been
paying their bills by shipments Of coffee and
cigars TO New York. In the last thirty days
weil.known brands Of cigars in Vera Cruz have
risen 30 per cent. in price.
The fail in silver Is equal to strong pFotec-
tion policy for this republic, and at the same
time Is encouraging the investment OF foreign

Is most remarkable. and the same tendency Is
