REPORT OF THE HOUSE COMMITTEE ON THE
JUDICIARY ON THE PROPOSED CoNsTITU-
TIONAL AMENDMENT.
The report Of the House committee on the
judiciary to accompany the joint resolution
proposing q constitutional amendment on the
subject OF polygamy is long document, which
deals in detail with all the branches OF the sub
ject, and enters into an elaborate discussion as
to the powers of Congress in the premises The
committee deem 1t OF the first Importance that
while the remedy shall be radical, it shall be
entirely consistent with the constitutional prin.
ciples of our government ana in harmony with
the sacred rights of conscience. AT the same
time the committee hold that TO permit polyg-
amy to grow up In the states side by side with
monogamy would constitute a union between
the Asiatic type and the EurOpean-American
type OF civilization that would Be incompatible
and fatal to our peace and progress. The COM
mittee holds that such q constitutional rrO-
vision as is recommended would not be q de-
parture from the genius OF the government,
which in general leaves the control Of domestic
relations TO the states, nor a violation of the
principle or religious freedom. As each state
must have q republican form ofHovernment,
the committee maintains that it is no departure
from the principles of the Constitution to
declare that the government of the states shall
not be based on the poygamOus family. Thus
the Union by clear compact will be constituted
of states IN political form republican, in social
DOlitv HOMOGENEOUS.

How the Seizure Of the schooner Sister
Is Retarded There.

II ReB WfUcW 1WcFcs
HALIFAX, N. s., May 25.-As the schooner
Sisters was seized at Portland merely for viola
ton Of American customs laws, it is not prob
able that the people of Nova Scotian will attach
any importance thereto. or show the slightest
degree of excitement. In ordinary times such
an event would have no interest except to those
Immediately concerned. The affair occasions
no excitement here.

Possibility That He May Consent to
Strike Out the Clause i'm the III on,e
kaie Bill Excluding Irish Members
From Westminster.

Special Cable Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAR
LONDON. May 25.-The belief has been gen.
eral here that to-day's cabinet council would
decide upon postponing the committee stage of
the home rule bill TO the autumn session, and
possibly even decide to promise that the gov
eminent will move in committee to strike out
clause "a, which excludes the Irish members
from Westminster, leaving the house free to
restore IT or not as ii pleased. If this latter is
done, the second reading would be quite safe,
but up to the present hour the government has
showed themselves entirely unwilling to make
SO great concession. The Roman Catholic
bishops are understood to be endeavoring on
pressure from the highest quarters to per-
suade the Irish members TO agree to the ex-
cision of this clause. The enemies OF tho bill
urge with much justice that the refusal of the
Irish members to continue at Westminster
seems TO indicate their desire to escape any
thing which decreases the degree of separation
between the two countries. Until il is known
what the cabinet decides to-day, whether IL
will make this last and biggest concession, il
is impossible to forecast the vote. 1t is Ger
tain, however, that an Immediate dissolution
OF parliament would follow the rejection OF the
bill.
