BAD FEELING
IN The SENATE
Closing Scenes in Con-
gress Today.
tFrons the NEWS Correspondent,

from the NEWS CorrespondeNt.r
Washington, March 4--Colleagues
of Senator-elect James A. MARITIME,
of New Jersey, were sorry to hear
that he was indisposed and unable
to visit this city to participate in
the ending of the last session of the
sixty-first congress. Never before In
the history of congress had the con-
gestion of the big appropriation bills
been so great in the senate Seldom
has there been so much bitterness of
feeling. Continuous night sessions
er senator's, and they lost their
tempers and patience. both. 80
Much has besn accomplished in
the congress which came to an end
today. Much, too, has been lett un-
done. The Democrats declare that
the Republicans failed to take up
the tariff matter, and do anything
that would tend towards reduction
In the cost of living, while the Re-
publicans have done their utmost to
shirk the responsibility. OF course,
the Republicans are anxious that
their party shall not be charged with
the high cost of living, yet 1t is i'm
possible for them to get out of the
blame.
Briggs Ainendment Lost.
The amendment that Senator
Briggs offered to the military bill,
which was designed to relieve the
situation complained of at West
Point, by enabling the President to
appoint some OF the alternates who
passed the examination in cases
where the principals failed to report
for duty, was defeated. This was
largely due to the fact that the sem
ators did not understand It's purpose,
ing hours it could not be explained
thoroughly.
Representative Parker will return
tice; Representative Wiley will take
Howell will spend few days in this
city before going back to New
Brunswick.
Postmastefs Confirmed.
The senate has confirmed the
nominations of c. C. Cowperthwaite
as postmaster at Mount Holly; John
w. Davis as postmaster at Burltng-
ton; Thomas G. Elvins as postmaster

tions from Patrons of Husbandry of

from Hackensack in favor OF the re-
striction of immigration.

advised that pension has been
granted to A. M. Cole, of Forked

BRIDGE
TO UTILITIES
COMMISSION
Board Of Aldermen Instruct
City Attorney Mould Ex-
tend Convery Place.
WANT |. v. R. R. TO BUILD
IT THIS YEAR

In committee session last night
City Attorney Hemmann was in
stEucted by the Board of Aldermen
to appear before the Public Utilities
Commission call its attention to the
necessity OF a bridge across the Le-
high Valley railroad at Convery
place.
On request of the Board of Alder
men a number OF officials Of the Le-
high Valley railroad inspected the
place in question about six months
ago for the purpose of ascertainfng
the desirability Of bridge at this
point, but have failed to inform the
aldermen as to their decision In the
matter, despite repeated requests
that they should do SO.
From Stanford street west to the
city line the section along New
Brunswick avenue north of Smith
street is now cut off from the latter
street by the Lehigh Valley railroad.
Persons wanting to get to Smith
street from this locality now have to
make wide detour towards the city
line or stanford street. With the
cutting through at Conyery place,
which is about midway between
these two points, access to Smith
street would be considerably facili-
tated.
The aldermen are anxious to ex-
tend Convery place, but the building
of a bridge is necessary first.

POST OFFICE
PETITIONS IN
CIRCULATION
Committee OF Five and Clerks
Continue Campaign for
Improyem ants.
MANY S:INERS ALREADY
ON SEVEN LISTS

Seven petitions for increasing the
working forces of the postoffiee, for
abolishing the office at Maurer and
establishing a sub-station to the
local post office in North Amboy and
for abolishing Sunday work were
placed in circulation today and at
noon 1t was reported they had been
literally signed. As stated in the
NEWS yesterday Postmaster George
H. Tiee, when seen by committee
Of business men, refused to increase
either his clerical or carrier forces
and stated he might consent to sup
port measure to close the delivery
window on Sundays. The business
men and clerks are now going over
his head and are circulating petit
tions asking for four more clerks
and four more carriers.
At the conference between the
business men and the postmaster
Thursday afternoon it was shown
that the Office could be closed Sun
days with little or no detriment to
the public. Mr.. Tice's only argu-
ment in favor of keeping open the
delivery window was that travelling
men could stop for mail.
That assertion was shown to be
inconsistent By the business men, for
they told the postmaster, that from
their own experience travelling man
who landed in this city on Saturday
night. generally went to his home
town or New York to spend Sunday
The petitions Ia circulation were
prepared some days age and were
circulated today following Mr. Tiee':
