ORIGINAL PACKAGE BILL.

In the house, Immediately after the
reading OF the journal, voting began on
the original package bill. The first vote
was on Adams substitute, defining the
original package; lost by vote of 20 to
115.
The house then proceeded to vote on
the house substitute bill. The following
is the house measure "That whenever
any article of commerce is imported into
any other state, territory or foreign nation
and is there held, or offered for sale, the
same shall then be subject to the laws OF
such state; provided that no discrimina-
ton shall be made by any state in favor
OF its citizens against those of other states
or territories in respect to the sale Of any
article of commerce, nor in favor of its own
products against those of like character
produced in other states or territories
nor shall the transportation of commerce
through any state be obstructed, except
by the necessary enforcement of the
health laws of such state"
AS the vote progressed it was evident
the result would be very doubtful. Great
interest was manifested at the end of the
first call. The affirmative had majority
of one. AT the end Of the second call the
majority was neither increased nor dimin-
ished. Then came changes of votes.
Fully two dozen changes were made, and
in the alterations the Affirmative came out
triumphant, the vote being announced

Sonora Merchants Entertained at Kansas
City-Closer Trade Relations.

KANSAS Cry, July 22.--The party of
merchants from Sonora, which has been
in the city for three days past, left last
evening for Chicago, via the Santa Fe
train. They will spend the week in Chi
cago and will then go to st. Louis, spend
ing several days there and then returning
home via Frisco. From every indication
the visit has been productive Of much
good. Yesterday morning the visitors
met in the office OF the Kansas City &
Mexican Investment company, where
they were introduced by Messrs. Morris
and Vargas to large number OF repre-
sentative business men OF Kansas City,
including T. B. Bullene, J. S. Chick and
other bankers and capitalists. A discus
sion of the needs of Sonora followed,
the visitors speaking in Spanish and the
Kansas Cityans in English, ard Messrs.
Gonzales and Vargas acting as interpreters
Among other propositions made was one
for the establishment OF bank at Quay
mas, in which both Sonora and Kansas
City capital should be invested Facii-
ties for handling and marketing live stock,
and plans for developing mines of tie
state and disposing of the ores were also
discussed. Another meeting was held at
the same place i'll the afternoon at which
the discussion took such practical turn
that it is highly probable that companies
will soon be formed in which Kansas
City capital will be invested for develop
ing the resources of the state OF Sonora.
Close commercial relatives between Kan
sas City and the prosperous Mexican
state are certain to follow the return of
the visitors home. A series of resolu-
tions were drawn up in Spanish by the

DARING BURGLARY.
L Bank Cashier Locked in the Vault and
the Safe Robbed.

CHICAGO. Dec. 29.-One Of the most dar-
ing robberies known. in Chicago was per-
petrated to-day by three stock-yard toughs,
undoubtedly the same who recently robbed
the cashier Of Allerton's packing house. A
few minutes past noon three men entered
the Merchants Exchange Bank, on Com
Eercial avenue, South Chicago. Cashier
Wilder and B00k-keeper Willis had gone
to lunch. and the only person left in the
bank was Frank Lynn, assistant cashier.
Two of the men went to the windows in the
bank railing and pointed revolvers at Lynn.
and ordered him to open the door at the
rear and let the third man in. Lynn did
this, when the robber knocked him down
and kicked him In the stomach until the
young man was completely helpless. Then
the rpbber entered the vault, took from
the safe three $500 packages of bills,
mortgages. Then he:picked up Lynn, threw
him into the vault and locked the door OH
him: The burglars then put their spoil into
sack. and taking buggy, drovs down the
street.
Book-keeper Willis passed the men at the
entrance to the bank, and on getting inside
was surprised to find the vault locked and
no one present. He hnrriedly opened the
vault, when young Lynn foil out, bloody, and
groanlng that the bank had been robbed.

lash was piled mercilessly, and the police
were gaining rapidly when the horses be-
gan to give out The lieutenant ordered
the officers to Use their shotguns as soon as
they could get within range, while he jumped
out to order another wagon.
AT the corner of South Chicago and Cot
tage Grove avenues the robbers deserted
their buggy, getting into the covered meat
wagon of Charles Mullin evidently with
the idea that they weuld thus elude the Wig
lance of the police. Bnt the pursuers were
too close, and volley from a shotgun
caused them to desert the wagon. When. il
was caught up with Mulin was placed un-
der arrest, although protesting that he knew
nothing about the matter. While the Off
GERS continued the chase of the others, one
of them, John C0rbert, soon surrendered,
and after long hunt the others were found
in a barn. They opened fire on being dis
covered. and Patrick O'Bren. watchman
with the police, was shot in the thigh. The
sight of the shotguns was too much for
them. however, and they soon gave up sur
rendering all the .spoils. They gave their
names as Frank Bennett and Henry Fea.

AN ALARMING THREAT.
ali The Railroads in Great Britain Nay
Be Involved In the Strike.

GLASGOW, Dec 29.-There are many signs
of the great railroad strike not holding its
own, and that the strikers will have to sub
NIT. The passenger and freight traffic on
the main lines is slowly improving. The
North British Railroad Company is reopen
ing its local lines.
A body of about $50 English railroad
hands have arrived here and will be put to
work on the Caledonian road. The miners
OF Kilmarnock are joining the strikers, and
the latter expect still. further additions to
their ranks. The ann nouncement is made to-
night that the Secretary of the English Rail-
way Mems Union threatens to bring out
$4,000 English railroad men In case the
Scotch railroads do not soon come to terms
with their employees. This alleged threat
has caused a sensation, as 1t may lead to q
wholesale strike along the lines of all the
English railroads. Railroad officials this
evening state. that they feel confident they
can fill all the vacancies, and express the
opinion that the strike will soon collapse.

A WOMAN'S DEATH.
4 Question Whether 1t Is a Case Of Nur-
der or Suicide.

BELFAST, Dec ga mysterious and
tragic death is the sensation of the day in
this neighborhood. From accounts of the
police, who maintain strict silence upon
many important links in the story, the fol-
lowing appear to be the facts in the case:
A man named Mcdowell, who tits supposed
was born in this city, went to South
Africa some years ago. finally settled down
in the diamorEi-minc region and accumu-
lated fortune there. About seven wee ks
ago Mcdowell realized upon his belongings
in South Africa and prepared to return to
Ireland. Previous TO SO doing, however, he
married beautiful girl belonging to KIM
berley, the celebrated diamond mining town.
After his marriage Mcdowell sailed with
3 his bride fer this country. After their ar
rival here they passed some time in the city,
and then seem TO have settled down at Ban
gor with the intention OF passing their
honeymoon at that place. Last night the
inhabitants of Bangor were thrown into a
state of great excitement when it became
known that the body of Mrs. Mcdowell was
found by the roadside just outside Of town,
W 18th an empty bottle, supposed to have
containe poison. lying beside her. So far
these are all the facts obtainable from the
police, who, are investigating the mystery.

MURDERED BY A. MOB.
Claim That The ASSaSSinated Carrollton
Postmaster Vas The Victim Of a Plot.

CHICAGO, Dec. 29.-The Star says: The
killing Of John Prentiss Matthews, Post
master at Carrollton, Miss, by young Nc

is also brother of the dead man. Matthews
has just received the following telegram from
CarrGllton: John WAS murdered by mob
He had been notified by dozen men that
a mob was going to kill him that day. He
saw the men with their guns and got rifle.
When he did this the Sheriff arrested him
and placed him under bonds. John pointed
three men out to the Sheriff and asked him
to arrest them and protect his life. The
Sheriff refused. 1t was a plot and all were
in IT, When he went 10 the hotel for dinner
Mcbride, who was still in his drugstore,
shot him down with a shotgun, killing him
instantly. Not satisfied with this, Mcbride
fired five shots at him from revolver after
he was dead. The mob then began dancing
and shouting around the body with the most
vile abuse and curses. John had received
several anonymous letters telling him he
must leave town. The murderer goes free,
and all because they must have the Post
Office" My brother" said Matthews, twas
only u years old. He was the first Repub-
Lean Postmaster to take the CarrolltOn Of
