Can He Vote.

A complicated case Of citizenship
comes to our notice. Years ago a
Canadian moved to the United States
and was naturalzed. He had son
under age at the time who became a
voter at 81 years of age by virtue of the
naturalization Of his father. He (the
son) exercised the rights of citizenship
for several years and voted. He then
returned to Canada and under the
British law-"once a subject always a
subject"-he became citizen of Canada
and voted there without renouncing
allegiance to the United States or taking
the oath of allegiance to the Queen. lie
now returns to the United States and
settles in California with his family
Query-Can he vote after being here
year without taking out naturalization

well attended caucus OF Republican
Senators at the Capitol this evening to
consider business for the remainder Of
the sea ion The question Of final ad-
journment was only briefly alluded TO,
but the discussion OF other matters pro-
ceeded upon the understanding that the

later than the fifth OF July. An order
of business was decided upon snbstnnii-
ally as follows:
The Mexican War Pension bill is to be
disposed of at 3 o'clock to morrow;
thereafter the annual appropriation bills,
including the River and Iarbor bill, are
to have precedence as fast as they are
ready. When no appropriation bills are
rendy, important measures on the calen

Grant Forfeiture bills, the Postal Tele.
graph bill, the bill relating TO the route
Of railroad lines into Washington City,

1t is not to be expected that all these
measures will be reached, since the final
adjournment will not be delayed for
them after the appropriation bills are

Mysterious Burning supposed to
be n scheme TO Rob Insurance
lOmuauiea

PORTLAND, Or, June 23.-The burn.
ing of Louis keckley's house and his
body, reported yesterday, seems to be a
lie insurance swindle. A correspond
ent visited the town of Cornelius to-
day, and learned the following facts re.
Ia i've to the alleged crime: keckley
came from Ida Grove. Iowa, with his
wife and babe, and three or four families
Of la'ives, about three months ago.
lie had a policy OF $4,000 in the New
York Life Insurance Company, issued
about six months ago, and on the 30th
Of May took out policy of $4,000 in the
Mutual Temperance Union, through an
agent at Cornelius. The house was
burned on Friday night, about 10 o'clock.
Saturday evening, towards dark, bunch
of human bones was found in the ruins.
Upon being taken up the skull and the
bones OF an arm fell TO pieces,
and it was evident that an
old skeleton had been placed there.
The house was very light frame
structure and it was impossible in the
half hour during which it burned to
have reduced body to aahes. The
most suspicious feature is that the wife
slept ut her fathers house, three miles
distant, on the night of the fire, the
first night she had been away from home
since they lived in Oregon. She had
with her that night tho life policies and
deeds to the property. Before the
coroner's jury to-day she swore that
three weeks ago she had a dream of
man sho ting her husband and then
burning the house over him; that on the
day before the fire, a big, burly black
bearded Irish tramp came to the house
aud was ordered away by her husband;
that the tramp threatenedto "get even, J"
and that he answered minutely the
brigand of her dream. Hence she was
afraid to sleep at home that night. The
jury adjourned till Wednesday. 1t is
reported that Keckley was seen in
Southern Oregon, but the report lacks
confirmation.
