ton of Oklahoma and Indian Terri

Representative Wiley is hopeful
that his bill for a survey of Newark
bay with a view of obtaining a chan
mel of 80 feet will have favorable
consideration. 1t is understood that
the report which has been filed with
the war department by Colonel Will
liam Liyermore, of New York, rec
ommends the deepening of the chan
mel.
There is some speculation as to
whether or not William H. Wiley, of
East Orange, will come back to con-
gress for another term. When Major
Wiley was nominated there was some
difficulty in getting a candidate. r.
C. Jenkinson, a we'll known member
of the board of trade, was spoken of
but he did not wan the nomination
at that time.
From what can be learned it is eX-
pected that Representative Allen will
find several candidates in the field for
tn nomination next 1all, and he may
have a lively fight on his hands.
Representative Gardner has intro
duced a bill to increase the pension
Of Erastus A. Doe, and a bill to in
crease the pension OF Samuel Horn.
