Representative Wood has received an
autograph letter from Grover Cleve-
land, former President of the United
States, expressing his interest in the
plan for a battle monument at Prince
ton, and Offering to aid in any way
that he can, if the suggestion is made
how he can be of service. The senate
committee on library, at the request
of senator Dryden, made a favorable
report on the bill making IN appro-
priation of $4,000 for the Princeton
battle monument.
Senator'S Kean and Dryden and
Representatives Wood, Gardner and
several of the Congressman, have re-

the New Jersey coast, and especially
Absecon Inlet. Under the present
law the work which the survey would
like to do is forbidden unless it shall
have the approval of the chief of en-
gineers of the war department.
Representative Howell has intro
duced a bill providing for a uniform
system of naturalization, which, it is
expected, will be the bill his commit
tee will report and recommend for
passage. 1t combines the bureau of
naturalization with that of immigra-
ton. All United States courts and
state courts of record will have iuris-
diction. No alien can be naturalized
within thirty days of the holding of
any general election, and he must be
able to write his own language or in
English, and read, speak and under
stand English.
The certificates of naturalization
will be issued in duplicate on safety
paper, and a copy will be filed in
Washington. The cost for ~naturali-
cation will be eleven dollars. There
is a severe penalty provided for hav-
ing forged certificates, and the clerks
are also penalized for issuing certifi-
Gates contrary to the act. The alien
is required to give a full personal de-
scription in his declaration of inten-
ton, and it is believed the enactment
of the bill will lessen the naturaliza-
ton frauds in the future.
