The Now Extradition Treaty.

OTTAWA, January 2s.-Sir John
Thompson, Minister OF Justice, was seen
to-day In reference TO q new cxtradition
treaty between Great Britain and the
United States. The members OF the Gov.
crnment, including himself, thought II a
satisfactory solution OF long-vcxcd prob.
lem and ono that would probably be
accepted and endorsed by the Senate, in
sympathy Us 1t was with the Republican
administration. The treaty, US drawn up
by Secretary Blaine and Sir Julian
paunccfotc, did not direr materially from
that negotiated by Secretary Bayard, ex.
cept the clauses relating TO what were
called political oiYcnscs were eliminated.
The treaty, however, added large mum
Der of crimes TO those included In tho
treaty Of 1912.
So far rs tho Dominion government was
concerned, no difficulty was anticipated In
accepting tho treaty. They were satisfied
with 1t, though II did not go us far as they
would have liked on one or two points and
would willingly acquiesce In Its adoption

PoLYGAMY A CRIME.
So Says the Supreme Court of the
United States.

WASHINGTON. ID. e.. Feb. 3.-The
Supreme Court of the United States to,
day rendered an opinion affirming the con-
stitutionality OF the Edmunds Tucker Idaho
test oath which is intended TO prevent
Mormons from voting.
The case came up on an application for
writ OF habeas corpus, made by Samuel
ID. Davis who is in Jail in Idaho, having
been sentenced for unlawfully taking the
prescribed test oath when he was q mem
her OF the Mormon church.
The court denies the application for a
writ OF habeas corpus, holding that polyg
amy Is crime and that the constitutional
provision guaranteeing freedom OF religion
is not intended TO prevent the punishment
OF any person who, in the name of religion,
commits crime in the eyes OF the law.
The court, in its opinion, says bigamy
and polygamy are crimes by the laws of
tine United States and Idaho. They tend to
destroy the purity OF the marriage rcla-
tions, to disturb the peace Of families, dc.
grade women and debase men. Few
crimes are more pcrnicious to the best in
terests OF society, and receive more gen.

AN APPALLING AFFLlcrIoN.
The House Of Secretary Tracy Burned
and His Wife and Daughter
Perish In the Flames.


WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-I'he house
Of Secretary Tracy caught FIRE Mt rs this
morning and was completely destroyed.
The FIRE was discovered at 6.45by pass
ers-by, who gave tho alarm to tho butler.
That party claims to havo aroused all the
inmates, but none Of them escaped without
injuries and three lives were lost. Mary,
the youngest daughter, and French
maid were burned TO death and Mrs.
Tracy received injuries from smoke and
The Secretary was rescued in an uncon-
scious condition, but 1t is thought that he
will recover. Mrs. Wilmerding, eldest
daughter Of the Secretary, and little girl
Alice escaped by jumping from second
story windows.
Secretary 1'racy's house is Il three story
and basement brick, and has recently un-
dergone extensive improvements.
Persons passing the house at O'Clock
this morning saw smoke issuing from tho
front windows, and at once raised an alarm
OF fire, and the fire md police departments
responded promptly. The premises were
almost concealed by the dense smoke,
which was thickencd by the heavy fog,
which was Just lifting.
1t was soon discovered that tho house
was all ablaze inside and that the main
stairway was burnt, thus cutting of COM
munication with tho sleeping apartments
on the second and third floors. Several
streams Of water were played on the
flames and every effort was made to check
the fire and to rescue tho occupants.
A scene Of widest confusion cnsued
when 1t was known that all the members
of the family were In the house. The fire.
men behaved like heroes in the emergency
and went through fire and smoke in search
ing for them in the different apartments.
Mrs. Wilmerding, the Secretary's daugh.
ter and Miss Wilmerding forced their way
through the binding smoke and jumped
from second story window at the front.
Ladders were raised for them, but in their
excitement they failed to see them. Mrs,
Wilmerding spraincd her left wrist and
was severely bruised.
Her daughter was badly injured in the
lower limbs, but broke no bones. They
both suffered severely from the shock.
They were taken at once to the residence
OF DIR. Baxter near by, and restorativcs
applied.
Owing to the sad event, the President
and Mrs. Harrison have recalled invita-
tions to the state dinner in honor Of the
Supreme Court on Thursday next.
The remains of Mrs. Tracy and Miss
Tracy lie to night in caskets in the center
OF the East room of the White House be-
meath crystal chandeliers, whose light less
than week ago shone upon them as they
gayly greeted their numerous friends nj
the last presidential reception.

Mr.. Springer moved to adjourn, but the
Speaker said that the decision OF the chair
had been sustained by tho House and re-
fused to entertain tho motion. The Speaker
thereupon recognized Mr.. Dalzell Of Penn
sylvania, to speak on the Smith-Jackson
election case.
Mr.. Dalzcll then proceeded to speak, but
tho uprolr continued until Mr.. Crisp I'D

the election case quiet hearing SO that
they might pass upon 1t intelligently. This
advice was acted upon and ut the conclu-

adjourned.

This is the FIRST time since the meeting OF

the contestant, but ut tho end he was de
clared entitled to seat by vote OF yeas

peared and took the oath of oflice, where.

affirmative, and the House accordingly ad
