Boor Washington, May 2.—Again today the question of expressing sympathy for the Boers was thrust on the attention of the senate. This time it came up on a motion to proceed to the consider ation of the resolution introduced by Pettigrew (Silver, 8. D. I which was before the senate last Saturday. The motion was defeated, 29 to 20. The conference on the joint resolution re lating to the administration of civil affairs in Puerto Rico and providing for the appointment of temporary offi cers on the island was agreed to. Dur ing the greater part of the session the Alaskan civil code bill wiib under con sideration, but no progress was made. The house today passed the Lacey bill, to enlarge the powers of the de partment of agriculture and to prohibit interstate commerce in game killed iu violation of local laws. It authorize« the secretary of agriculture to provide for the introduction and restoration of game and insectiverons wild birds. 11 gives him the power to prevent the in* troduction of undesirable birds and animals and prevents the killing of game in violation of state laws for con* cealed shipment to states where it can be sold in the open markets. The senate bill to create a commis sion of five to investigate and report upon the commercial and industrial conditions in Japan and China was de bated at length, but was vigorously an tagonized by the Democrats, and they finally succeeded in striking out the enacting clause in committee, and this motion was pending when the house adjourned. If the motion prevails in the house, the bill is dead. The bill for a constitutional amend ment to disqualify polygamists forelec tion as senatorsand representatives and to prohibit polygamy, which was re ported by the committee on the elec tion of president, vice-president and representatives in congress, was re ferred to the committee on judiciary, after meeting with opposition from both sides of the house. Every speaker who antagonized the bill said he opposed polygamy, but did not see any reason for legislation on the constitution and invading the rights of the states. The house agreed to the conference report on the joint resolution extending the tenure of military officers in Puerto Rico. WRECKED The Cause MANY LIVES. of a Beautiful Suicide. Woman’«- Chicago, May 2.—Standing before a mirror in her room at the Palmer House, Minnie M.

She handed him the check for her trunk and asked to have it brought to her immediately. The death was encompassed by a number of theatrical features, the young woman having taken every pre caution to render impossible her iden tity. While she entered the hotel at tired attractively and wearing a num ber of diamonds, nothiug was found in her room but a coarse, black wrapper, which she wore when she killed her self. Her diamonds were gone, only a single unset stone being found on the dresser, where it had dropped from her purse. She left a note to the manager of the hotel, directing them to take the money from her pocketbook to settle the hotel bill. She requested especially that no effort be made to find her "rela tives, as she did not wish them to know of her deed. In Memory of Grant. Pittsburg.
