WASHINGTON, May 6-Boutelle, of
Name, today introduced in the Louise a
bill intended to repair the damage inflicted
upon state prohibition laws by the re-
cent decision of the supreme court in the
original package case. The bill is in the
shape of an amendment to the interstate
act as follows: Nothing con-
tanned in this act shall be construed to
authorize the sale or traffic in intoxicating
liquors 10 any state contrary to the laws
thereof.
A meeting of the senate committee on
pensions was held today at which the
Morrill, disability and service pension bill
combined, substituted by the house for
the senate dependent pension bill, was
considered. Formal action was post
poned until the next meeting of the com
mittee. 1t is understood, however, that
the opposition to the house measure is
unanimous and the committee will re
commend that the senate non concur in
the action of the house.
An effort was made by the SEN
ate Republican silver committee to-
day to agree upon a silver bill
to be reported to the caucus. Three
of the thirteen members were absent.

Stewart, who was invited to take part IN
the proceedings. after dis.
custom lasting nearly three
hours, decided to report to a caucus to be
held some day this week the bill reported
by Senator Jones from the finance com
mittee some weeks ago, with amendments.
One of the amendments strikes out the
provision in the reported bill that notes
issued Tor the purchase Of bullion when
redeemed shall be cancelled, aud Instructs
the secretary of the treasury to reissue
them with the proviso that the amour t
outstanding shall not at any time be in
excess of the amount paid out for bullion
deposited. Another amendment is the
addition of the sixth section of the bill
adopted by the house caucus, which pro
vides for covering into the treas
ury about $40. 600, 900 lawful monev
now hell for the redemption of national
bank notes. The Jones bill directs the
secretary OF the treasury to purchase,
monthly. silver bullion TO the value OF
"a, 500, 900, the notes in payment thereof
to be redeemable in lawful money. Sena-
tor Mitchell stated that while personally
in favor OF the free coinage OF silver, he
believed the measure (the bullion redemp-
ton clause having been omitted) to be
free from any vicious principle and one
that, if adopted, would ulumat ly lead to
free coinage. In this Secretary Teller
agreed.

STAFFORD SPRINGS. Conn, May G.
The mystery of beautiful Lila Hoyle's
murder in Webster, Mass, and whose
body was found tuck ed into a corn crib on
a lonely road in Oxford, a mile or so from
Webster, has never been solved. The
young girl stepped out Of her boarding
house on the evening of September /,
1887, and her friends did not see her
again until her remains were accidentally
discovered b. hunters in the crib. Miss
Hoyle was a shop girl and had many ad-
mirers, and suspicion connected several Of
them with her fate. but not definitely.
Her uncle, Andrew HoYle, a rather pecu-
liar person, was thought to know some
thing about her death, and some people
fancied that Lilla's younger sister, Alice,
who told various stories about her sister.
might have thrown light on the trgedy
If she had wished to do so. Now a singu-
lar incident recalls public attention
to the tragedy. 1t is the elope-
ment OF the uncle, Andrew
Hoyle, and Lilla's sister Alice. Andrew
and Alice have been fast friends for years,
and during the investigation of the muir
der he was her staunch defender and
guardian. Soon after the murder Alice
went to live in Andrew Hoyle's home and
the relations between uncle and niece be.

known whittier Andrew and Alice have

gone to Illinois. The actions of Andrew
and Alice have been enigmatical, and it
has long been the opinion of many Web

money from Il mysterious source and that
