CHANCES.
WASHINGTON, April 81. 19o6.-In
discussing the tariff situation as it is ex-
pectea It will develop with the consider
alton of the bills to remove the duty
from steel for the benefit of he sufferers
at San Francisco, Representative Lou
aenslaseF said to reporter: 81 do not
s&nh there is mach, if any, sentiment IN
Fcw Jersey ia favor of tariff revision.
AT least, have not heard of any in my
district, and from conversations with the
members of the delegation I am unable
TO find that there is any sentiment that
amouns anything in that line anywhere
in the State. / have a notion that New
Jersey is a strong 'stand-pat' State, be-
cause of he many industrial plants To-
revision will tend rather to upset condi-
Itions. which at present could not be bet
ter. rather thar to help business mat
ters."
Representa- i've Howell has learned
hat there Is ssns n1isapprshension in the
State regarding the policy of the Post
office Department with reference to the
handling OF the rural delivery roues. Mr..
Howell received letter from Monmouth
County to the effect that the patrons of
certain route believed tha the depart
ment intended to discontinue the route
because the number of mail packages
carried was less than 3,0O0
Ma. Howell COX up the matter with the
department, and was advised that it was
sss the policy of the department to cut
nwn the service angwhere. If it was
Mqnd that route did NO handle the
lhleunf Of mail that it was believed it
IsssAt to handle. an investigation was
slaa. and at times different routes were
snsoliaated, but the service was main
i4ed. nevertheless.
esidents of Jersey City are afraid

lee at Passaic will be detrimental to
sir interests. Such notion is not

hEefully as though the city was his home
