Are Doing at National Capital

(From the NEWS Corrcspomdemt.)

WASHINGTON, ID. c., June %
There will be no picnic for the men
of the First Regiment New Jersey
National Guard when they go to
Mount Gretna, Penn, in August to
take part in the encampment of the
regulars" there. 1t is expected that
the regiment will be required to
march 200 miles each way, and there
will be a total absence of all spectac-
ular display so far as the encamp-
ment is concerned. There will be no
tent floorings and the conditions that
would have to be met in time of war
will be those that the men will have
to endure, so far as practicable. The
officials of the war department want
the officers and men who take part in
these camps to learn something that
will be of benefit to the organizations
participating.
1t will be of interest to the many
Jerseymen who favor the restriction
of immigration to know that the bill
will probably come up in the House
of Representatives next Tuesday I'M
der a rule. Considerable opposition
has developed against the bill on ac-
count of the educational test. This is
not severe since it requires that the
alien shall read some language or di-
alect or the English language. The
Knights of Labor of New York have
sent a lobbyist here to oppose the
passage of the bill, and the Italians
and Hebrews of New York are doing
their share against the bill. 1t is be-
lieved, however, that it will pass.
The house committee on rivers and
harbors has authorized a favorable
permit the state or municipality to
improve inlets and waterways along
the Atlantic coast subject to the APP

partment.
The superintendent of the asylums
Trenton will appear before the house
committee, which is investigating the
conduct of the government asylum
here, on Monday, June 26, to testify
regarding the methods of the New
Jersey institutions.
