i've called upon Senior E. Zerega at 152
3rompton road to ascertain from him par
iculars regarding Mrs e. +. Hill, who is
MS wife, and to tell him that friends of
Mrs. Hill in New York believe that she is
IDENTICAL with Mrs. Everett, who commit
ed suicide at the Colonnade hotel in New
York under mysterious circumstances.
Senor Zerega, as he Is known here, is a
+ guitar and mandolin player, as was his
vile. He Is a smart, dapper man, about 30
Years of age.
In response to tho statements by tho
press representative Senior Lorega said
that ho had already heard by cable Of the
Supposed Identification Of Mrs. Everett as
his wife, but he refused to believe that it
vas true until stronger proofs were adj
luced.

Senior Zerega thought, ho said. that
here must be a mistake though he adj
nitted that he had not heard from his
wife for some time He believed that she

Another press representative has seen a
person who knew Sonora Zerega well.
This person said that Sonora Zerega was
very gifted player and had played twice
before Queen Victoria at Osborne House
n 1895. She came from Seville, this in
|ormant said, and she believed had lived
happily with her husband.
When the pictures were shown to this
acquaintance Of Sonora Zerega, she imme-
|iiately recognized the trunk, the wrap
md the hat as the same with which the
senora had left London. Sho recognized
he dress and the style Of tho hair in the
portrait and also the lower part of the
lace, but the middle part of the face was
|olotched in tho print. Upon reading the
description of the suicide she said that it
|allied with the sonora as to the bnbylike
bands. The cycling shoes also were prob
hbly hers, as she was a oyclist She also
wore extra high patent leather boots. The
senora had an csit5unt at Harrod's stores
n London.

suioide is said to have read indistinotly,

Sonora Zerega was of a cheerful disposi-
lion, and, it is said, was always singing
while she was here.

Reuben +. Kaib, Populist. Four Repub-
lican senators-Chandler Frye, Gallinger
and Morrill-and two Populists-Allen
and Peffer-mado up the affirmative vote.
Mr.. Allen took occasion to declare that the
vote disclosed the insinoerity of the Re-
publican senators to their professions In
behalf of honest elections. Mr.. sherman
responded that 1t was not for the present
senate to so into the general investigation
of elections, as these resolutions proposed,
and Mr.. Chandler of New Hampshire. au-
thor Of the resolutions. explained that the
adverse vote was due largely to the disin.
clination to displace appropriation bills
Much time was given to bill regulat-
ing gas rates in the District Of Columbia.
lt was expected that the house would
take up the consideration of the immigra-
tion bills on the calendar under n special
order, but owing TO the pressure Of other
matters the order was not presented until
just prior to adjournment. II was then
amended so as to give today and tomorrow

are four OF them. The Mccall bill pro
vides an educational test, the Stone bill
provides for consular inspection, and the
Mahany and Corliss bills provide for moro
rigid enforcement of the present immigra-
tion laws, and especially deal with the i'm
migration from Canada.
Quite a number of minor bills and con-
ference reports were adopted, and three
bills were passed under suspension Of the
rules as follows:
Toallow tho bottling Of distilled spirits
in bond; to expedite the delivery of i'm
ported goods in parcels and packages not
exceeding 50 in value. and 20 Sroyide for
the registration OF trademarks on bottles,
barrels, oorks and other receptacles used
In interstate and foreign commerce
The confereos of the two houses on the
naval appropriation bill were I'm session,
but were unable TO roach an agreement
on the most important amendments made
by the senate, which are those reducing
the number of new battleships from four
to two, changing the provisions In regard
to torpedo boats, restricting the price to
bo paid for armor to $3.50 per ton and pro-
hibiting officers of the navy from accept
ing employment from persons who fur.
nish supplies to the government. All the
other differences in the bill have been rec
onoiled A partial report will be made by
