THE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
The Cuban Resolution May Pass the House
at Any Time.

WAsHGNGTON, March 1.-The conspicu-
Gus feature of the house proceedings this
week will be in connection with Cuban
resolutions, which are now upon the cal
endar. After the objection raised by Mr..
Boutollc on Thursday last it became al
most certain that unanimous consent could
not be secured for the consideration of the
resolutions, and MS the senate resolutions
were referred on Friday to the foreign af-
fairs committee it is certain that unusual
methods will be rcqudcd to get the sub
jcct before the house.
Under the rules the first and second
Mondays of each month are suspension
days. Today, therefore, is one of the days
when the speaker could recognize Mr..
HIT TO move the passage of the resolu-
tions under a suspension of the rules
Such a motion would require two-thirds
majority, but it is not believed that a
dozen votes would be recorded in oppo-
sition. Only thirty minutes debate on a
side would be allowed if such motion
were made.
The fact that the senate resolutions were
referred to the committee indicate that the
majority prefer the house to the senate
resolutions, but when the question comes
before the house, unless it is by special
order, which would cut off amendment, a
motion probably will be made to substi-
tute the senate resolutions The latter
action would have tho advantage of end
| ing the matter. Delay would be "A natural
/ incident to the passage of "A different set of
resolutions by each house and the temper
of members is enthusiastically in favor of
/ action.
The senate probably will pass the agri-
"''''"ral appropriation bill carly in the
week.
.rsLator Mitchell, of Oregon, chairman
/ of the committee on privileges and elec-
tions, has given notice Of his intention tC
call up the Dupont election case on Wed
nesday. He will make a speech on this
subject at that time, supporting the claim
of Mr.. Dupont to the vacant Delaware
seat, and will be followed by Senator Tur
pie in support of the views of the minor
ity. Senator Pritchard is scheduled to fol
low Mr.. Turpie, and other members of tho
committee will be heard later There vii
be solid Republican vote in support O
the proposition to seat Mr.. Dupont, bu
there is one short of a majority. 1t is be
lieved that the entire Democratic vote viii
be cast against Dupont. The Republicans
therefore, rely entirely upon securing Il
least part of the Populist vote.

THE friends Of Mr. Cleveland have by no
means abandoned the idea Of making him the
standard bearer Of the Democratic party in
the ensuing campaign. The movement in
favor of Mr. Cleyeland's denomination for
a third term, however, has had its chief in
spiation in the assumption that the Demo
cratic party would be compelled to nominate
him as a forlorn hope; in other words, that
it would be useless TO nominate any untried
man, and that Mr., Cleveland could stand
defeat better than any other member Of his
party.

KILLED MOTHER AND SELF.
fhe Double Tragedy That Ended a Sunday
Mixed Ale PARTY.


Lone ISLAND CITY, March 2.-The out
come of one of the many Sunday mixed
ale parties in the Oil Works district of this
city was the death of Mrs. Mary Kraemer
and her son Michael. They both died from
a bullet in the brain, and although there
is some mystery as yet as to who did the
shooting, tits believed that young Kraemer
killed his mother and then committed
suicide Toward the end of the afternoon
the son Michael was debarred from enjoy
ing any further festivities. The door was
locked against him, and after repeated ef-
forts to get within he adjourned to his own
apartments
Shortly afterwards his mother followed
him, it is stated, in aspirit of Cancellation,
and it was only moment later when two
shots were heard. The door was broken
open, and Henry Boehler, one OF those
who had been present at the party, and
one of those chiefly concerned in ejecting
Kracmcr was found i'm the room. He had
n revolver i'm his hand, and it was with
difficulty that it could be taken from him.
The police took him in charge. He claimed
that he had heard the shots, and had run
down stairs to find out what the trouble
was. His companions, including the other
two sons of the murdered woman, bore
him out in this assertion.
The revolver with which the shooting
was done was the property of Michael
Kracmcr, and it was this that Boehler had
in his hand. One of the theories enter
tainod by the police in connection with the
crime is that Michael Kraemer, furiou.
with anger ut having been kept out of the
apartments above where festivities were
going ON, had fired the shot at the first
person who went into his room, and Oh
finding that he had killed his mother com
mittcd suicide
