LETTER.
The senate rlevoteil nil lust week to
the consideration of the ship sulwi.ly
Itlll ami will vote it today. The de-
hale was marked hy ml able speech
from Senator Perkins of California,
a speech hy Senator Dcpew 11 ml an
other hy .Senator Foraker in which
he said that, while the measure whs
not all that he could desire, he re
garded It as perhaps the best which
could now he framed and that, as it
had the entire approval of the ma
jority, he would support it. Sena
tor 1'Yye and Ilannn hoth expressed
themselves on Saturday as certain
that the hill would pass and Senator
Perkins told me he helieved it would
not only pass the senate hut the
house as well.
Senator Penrose tells me that he
will make an earnest effort to have
the Chinese exclusion hill, which has
been perfected in his committee,
made the regular order of business,
following the disposal of the "anti
nnarehist bill" otherwise known as
"a bill for the protection of the presi
dent." The wishes of the senator
from Pennsylvania are opposed, how
ever, hy Senator Proctor, whose com
mittee is prepared to report the oleo
margarine bill.
Senator Cullom has not deviated
from his opinions in regard to recip
rocity. "I am still of the opinion
that, from a political standpoint as
well as on economic grounds, we
should at least make a beginning in
the way of reciprocity at this session
of congress," said the senator when
I inquired the status of the treaties
in his committee on Saturday. "My
committee will take up the treaties
next week and all of the items will
receive the most careful considera
tion. Of course, until such an exam
ination has been made it is impossi
ble to predict the outcome but I feel
confident that we wiil be able to re
port to the senate some treaties
worthy of support." As to the like
lihood of securing senatorial action
of any of the treaties at this session
Mr. Cullum was not communicative
but he said the work of his commit
tee would be none the less careful
and painstaking than if immediate
action by the senate was assured.
Senator Hale told the newspaper
men on Thursday that he thought
congress would adjourn about the
tenth of June and as the senator from
Mains Is a member of both the com
mittee on appropriations and of the
steering committee he probably
knows. Such early adjournment
would mean, however, that many
Important questions would go over
until the short session. With the
anti-anarchy bill, the anti-oleomargarine
bill, the Chinese exclusion bill
and the various appropriation bills
still to le considered, there will not
1 much time left for other business.
Senator Morgan still hopes to secure
action on the Hepburn canal bill and
told me last week that ho believed
it would pass. Senator llnnna, how
ever, is opposed to it and still favors
further consideration of the Panama
route but lie has abandoned bis ad
vocacy of the Darien route. Mr.
Hanna does not hesitate to show his
anger at the attempt of the senator
from Alabama to rush through bis
favorite bill and has announced his
intention of making a vigorous fight
for the Spooner amendment which
provides that if the department of
Justice decides that a clear title can
lie conveyed hy the Panama company
and the Colombian government the
president shall be authoriz -d to pur
chase the French company's proper
ty at the price named, $10,000,000.
JScnator Allison, as chairman of the
committee on appropriations, has
shown a slight dispostion to question
the advisability of appropriating so
much money to be spent outside of
the I'liit.-d Shite and there are tho-e
who say that Mr. A 1 1 is hi may pre
sent serious opposition if the question
of a route is decided.
The Cuban reciprocity bill is an
other measure which will occupy
considerable time ill the senate unless
present si;:ns fed. i-.cimtor Perkins

THE WASHINGTON
I During the past week the house
I lii-.s passed the rurrtl free delivery
hill, so amended that carriers slmil he
n ..).. ., ..... nV,w:.l CI)ll ,..r
, 1 " .
' '"' " ..n, . , ..
to provide for the rural delivery ser
vice. While these measures have
lieen considered on the floor of the
house the interest of the nvanlwrs
has centered upon the contest le
tween the high protectionists nnd
beet sugar men nd the leaders w ho
favor the ways and means bill. The
problem is now in the bands of a
joint committee composed of repre
sentatives of both factions. It is
probable the decision will be made
public today nnd will consist of the
assent of the beet sugar men to the
ways and means bill granting 20 per
cent, reduction, on a reciprocity basis
for a period limited to September 1,
100.1, at which time the European
countries will cease to pay bounties
on beet sugar, nnd with the under
standing that the senate will neither
increase the amount of the reduction
nor extend the time limitation. The
efforts of the president to bring about
unity in the house have been marked
by most capable politics and he has
surprised even his most ardent ad
mirers by his tact and patience.
Representative Tawney, who has
been one of the leaders of the opposi
tion, said to me Saturday: "I am a
protectionist and I am a republican.
I do not agree with the leaders of
the house as to the expediency of
this legislation; nevertheless, I have
no desire to cause a rupture in the
parly and, therefore, I am prepared
to make any reasonable compromise
in order to secure harmony;" and
Mr. Tawney probably voices the po
sition of all those who have hereto
fore so earnestly opposed the admin
istration on the question of Cuban
reciprocity.

OBITUARY
MHS. tlORTHNSK rtMl lIOT WRsTIIIIDOR.
Mrs. Wcstbrook, widow of the
late John I. Westbrook of Port Jer
vis, died at her homo in that, vil lage
last Monday morning after an
illness of several weeks duration.
She wn9 the only daughter of Con
stnntine and Marie E. A. Pinchot.
Her father wns a native nf France
nnd a merchant of Bretlel'o, a vil
lage some sixty miles from Paris.
Here C. C. D. Pinchot was born and
while yet a youth nnd too younir to
enlist favored the fortunes of Bona
parte. This being reported it seem
ed wise to the elder Pinchot to leave
his native lnnd and accordingly in
1818 lie with his fam'ly came to
Milford and located and here Mrs.
Westbrook was born April 28, 180.
January 18, 1841, she married
George Stoll of Montague. N. J.,
who died Nov. 28, 1843, leaving his
widow and one son, Albert 8., to
survive. March 14, 1855, she mar-
ried John I. Westbrook of this coun
ty nnd soon after they went to Port
Jervis where she united with the
Dutch Reformed church and was
ever an earnest and faithful mem-
her. The Gazette pnys this appro
priate tribute to her memory to
which all who knew her will cor
dially assent :
"She grew old very gracefully ; in
fact, she never grew old except in
the great number of yenrs of her
life with accompanying physical in
firmities, for she retained the amia
bility and gentility and many other
graces of her maidenhood days.
She enjoyed the company of those
of many yenrs her junior and was
pleased to have them about ber
She had frequent gatherings of so
ciety folk and was one of them In
spirit and greatly enjoyed the fes
tivities of all suoh occasions. "One
never grows old till the henrt grows
cold," Is an old saying and the
truthfulness of the adage was never
better verified than In the presont
instance. Mrs. Westbrook never
became too old to mingle with the
people and to attend church services
and she always had a sweet smile
and a pleasant greeting for all of
her many acquaintances. It may
be truthfully said of her that she
lived to a great age but was never
aid and her death will be lamented
by the young as well as by her com
panions far along in the pathway of
life. She was the most fortunate
possessor of the true ' Christian
graces and those so blessed enjoy
life to the fullest in the best sense,
and their presonce is a sonroe of joy
and a Wossing to those about them."
One son, Albert Stoll, survives.
James W. Pinchot of New York is a
nephew and Mrs. Augustine Pinohot
of Bridgeport, Ct., is a niece. The
funeral took place yesterday after
noon conducted by Rev. T. II. Mc
Kenzie and interment in Laurel
Grove cemetery.
MHS. JOBKI'HENK KILLAM.
As a shock to the whole commun
ity camo news of the sudden death
of Mrs. Josephine Killam, wife of
George N. Killam of Paupack, Wed
nesday, March 1 2th, Death was
caused ' by apoplexy. Only a few
minutes previous she had been chat
ting and jesting in her usual cheer
ful manner and was seemingly in the
best of health. Mrs. Killam was
esteemed and loved by all with whom
she was endeared by her kindly
sympathy and friendly deeds. Our
sympathy goes out to the bereaved
family. We join in the grief of the
loving husband who has lost his
cherished one and w ho in this world
can never be comforted. God grant
him strength to bear up under his
great affliction and show him that
his and our grief is for our own loss
of u dear one w ho has gained im
mortality and whom we hope in
time to join where there will be no
more death. Mrs. Killam was, as is
her husband, defended from the first
settlers on tiie Wallenpaupack and
being connected with all the older
families of this section leaves numer
ous relatives to mourn. Her parents
were Hemau Newton and Lydia
Diamond Kimble. She leaves five
children: Mrs. Margaret Herter of
St. Joseph, Mo., Florence and Frank
of Troy, N. Y., Charles of New York
City, Iafnyctte of Scrauton and
James at the old homestead. The
funeral was very largely attended,
numbers unvnig over almost lin
passuble roads formally miles. Rev.
Kimpkins of Hawley delivered a
very affecting address and conveyed
some beautiful thoughts to the list
