CONGRESS- MAY ACT
Adoption of a Radical Cuban
Measure Shortly Among
the Possibilities.
Morgan Resolution Has Right
of Way in the Senate and
Is Sure to Pass.
Large and Enthusiastic Meet
ing of SympathizerS Held
at Washington.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-THE Cuban
question is leiely to be a prominent
feature in congressional proceedings
this week. In the senate the Morgan
resolution has right of way, but the
debate on it will be of uncertain dura-
zion. There is little or no doubt that
the resolution will pass when vote is
reached and the indications are
that the majority for it will be the
greater for the recent delay. There
will continue to be some opposition,
and the plea will be made that any
material aid given in accordance with
executive recommendation is all that
can be reasonably expected.
In the house the sentiment in favor
of the recognition of the Cuban insur-
gents is strong, and very radical
measure might be passed If that body
were allowed free action. With a sen.
ate measure dealing only with the
question of the relief of the suffering
Americans before the house under a
special order, possibility of amendment
would be cut off and the house would
be compelled to accept or reject it as
passed by the senate.

BUFFALO, Mimi, May ia double

ell, well-to-do farmer, and wife, were
found dead by their children between

away from home fishing, and when
they returned to the house they found
the dead body of Mrs Boxell in the
house, and Mr.. Boxells dead body
clothed in his night apparel was found
out near the road. The dead people
had the reputation of keeping large
sums Of money by them, and it is sup
posed they were murdered for their
money. The sheriff, county attorney
and coroner have left for the scene Of
the tragedy. The whole neighborhood
is aroused and many from this place
have gone to join in the search for the
murderers, and if the least trace of
them can be found they will soon be

cnysrANrIyoPLE, May IT,. - The

an armistice until the following condl-
lions are accepted:
The annexation of Thessaly, an in
demnity of elO,OOO,0O0 (Turkish), and

The porte proposes that plenipoten-
tiaries of the powers should meet at
pharsalos to discuss the terms OF peace,
and declares that if these conditions
are declined the Turkish army will
continue to advance.
The demand for the annexation of
Thessaly is based upon the fact that
the province was originally ceded to
Greece on the advice of the powers
with the object of ending brigandage
and Greek incursions into Ottoman
territory, the porte believing at the
time that the cession would attain
these objects, but the recent incursions
Of Greek bands and the events lmme-
diately preceding the war have proved
70 the contrary. This is the substance

one of the residence streets along the
lake shore There we.e two bullet
wounds, and revolver was found by
his side. Diamonds and jewelry were

The location of the wounds makes it
rather doubtful whether it is a case Of
suicide. When Clark left his hotel in
the evening he said he was going for a
walk. He was 90 years old.

that the whole organization is rotten,
