Washington Notes.
Especial to the Newark Star.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1S.-United
States Senator Briggs has introduced a
bill to grant an honorable discharge to
former Lieutenant-Colonel S. w.
Stryker, formerly of Harlingen, Som
erset county. He served in the Civil
Wal in the Eighteenth New York Vol
unteer Cavalry. The matter was taken
up in 1905 by United States Senator
Kean, but the military committee gave
an unfavorahle report. Senator Briggs,
in spite of this report, thinks that If
the committee can be prevailed upon To
give the case a full consideration, a
favorable report will be had.
Congressman Howell has introduced
a bill to grant an increase in pension
to William Ottmer, of Lakewood, to $12
u month. Ottmer served in Company
B, Fifty eighth New York Volunteers.
He returned to his home on a fur
Tough and was told by the surgeon to
remain at home. He is now pensioned
under the old law for d previous serv-
ice, blu has never been able to take
advantage of the new law because he
had no discharge for his second term
of service. Mr.. Howell will do what
he can to get favorable action by the
committee on invalid pensions, because
the record of Ottmer is excellent, and
shows that he endured many hardships
and privations.
Representative Parker has recon-
mended the appointment of the Rev. B.
w. Paxton, of Newark, d negro preach
er, as chaplain of the Tenth Infantry.
Mr.. Parker was joined by Representa-
tive Foster, of Vermont, in indorsing
the Rev. Mr.. Paxton. The matter is in
the hands of the Secretary of War.
United States Senator Kean has re-
sumed his usual motions for the senate
to go into executive session, whenever
there are any nominations to act upon,
or any other reason why the regular
routine should be abandoned, and some
Of the FESTIVE Senators checked. The
Senator from New Jersey is invariably
on hand during the sessions n takes
great interest in the proceedings.
Representative Howell has been au-
thorized to report a bill for the commit
tee on Immigration and naturalization,
which is designed to check the white
slave traffic" the conditions of which
were set forth in a report made by the
immigration Commission The bill will
go on the House calendar, and it is ex-
pected it will be passed early in jan
uary.
