We are reliably informed that Pryor

erately destroyed himself.

to his fellow prisoners.

CONVICTED OF MURDER.
Change OF Venue Did Not Help Domin-
leo Cecilia.

PoRr TOWNSEND, April 24.-[Speciall l.
Dominica Cecilia, the Italian, was con-
victed of murder in the second degree last
evening at Coupeville. The jury were out
two and half hours before returning the
verdict. The defense gave notice of an ap-
peal to the supreme court. He will be
sentenced tomorrow.
While employed in fruit store in July,
1890, Cecilia cut his employers throat from
ear to ear and robbed the premises. He
attempted to kill the officers while effect
ing his arrest one month later. The fol-
lowing October he was convicted of muir
der and sentenced to hang. Then the su-
preme court reversed the Judgment of the
lower court and ordered new trial. The
defense asked for change ofvenue, which
was denied, and later, after exhausting the
regular and three special venues, Judge
Sachs ordered change of venue to Island
county. The defense took exceptions to
the rulings and on this ground the su-
preme court will be asked to reverse the
present conviction and discharge the ac-
cused on the ground of having placed the
defendants life twice in jeopardy for the
same offense

WORK OF CONGRESS.
Appropriation and Chinese Bill to En-
gage This Weeks Time.

WASHINGTON CRY, April 24.-In con-
trast with the lively scenes of the past
week the proceedings in both branches of
congress during the coming week promise
a lack of public interest. The managers of
the House have decided to devote the en-
tire week to the consideration of the ap-
preparation bills. Tomorrow the diplo-
matte and consular appropriation bill is
to be called up, and as that
measure makes radical changes in the ex-
isting law it will doubtless be attacked by
its opponents upon the floor.
Appropriation bills will also figure
largely in the Senate's proceedings. The
debate on the Chinese bill will occupy all
of tomorrow and the bill will probably go
to the House Tuesday with Senate amend
