Mr. Jones ineietn that the promise which was made | to him at the last aeaeion shall be honored, because his bill will die Iwith this Confreas if not acted.on b fee re March 4 and all the work wlu have to be done over-in that ovent. The {chances are that the Jones bill will be brought up and passed in the House at this session. and that enough Republican members will vote for It to offeet the Democratic members who will vote! against it. One of the obstacles which it will have to encounter when It gets on the floor, however, will be an effort to substitute the bill of Representative Burgess of Texas proriding for Independence by wry of the neutralisation route. Mr. Burgees claims that it la better to get neutralisation first than to treat it as a secondary matter, as the bill of tne Insular Affairs Committee pro President Taft Is known to be strongly opposed to the Jones bill, and he has taken occasion in a message just sent to Confrwi to coa-j demn the principle of the executive mar actually help the bill by solidifying Democratic support * IBS flOElMLY AT HOME LAST EVENING Otis of the moat deltghltol social functions ot lbs manr linn I* Washington this iouoq wm? the "Lamp Year" oyster at the residence of Mr. end Mrs J.
