Washington, Jan. 6.-The senate yes-

the death penalty in large number of
cases. The measure is in the line of the
recent state laws abolishing capital
punishment, and applies the same prin-
ciple to federal offenses, although the
change Is not extended to a total abol-
ttion of the death penalty. The pres
ent laws, which have come down from
colonial times, have a sanguinary as
various character. The bill reduces
capital offenses to five, viz: Treason.
rape, murder, and two offenses appli-
cable to the army and navy. In all
other offenses hard labor for life IS
substituted as the maximum punish
ment, and even in cases of murder and
rape hard labor may be be substituted
IL the jury states in it's verdict without
capital punishment"
AS the bill has passed the house after
a long crusade by Representative Cur
tbs, of New York, and is amended but
slightly by the senate, it is likely to go
to the president when the minor dis
agreements are arranged in conference.
During the day Call introduced resolu-
