poison through the mails to kill, and
which did kill Mrs. Kate ]. Adams; sec

Ing some unknown persons; third, that
Mollneux sent through the malls cya-
hide of mercury with intent to kill (;
fourth, that MoIfneuX sent an unknown
poison to kill some unknown person.

The last lingering possibility OF IN ex-

day when the house passed the senate
army reorganization bill. Very consid.
cradle and vigorous opposition 10 the

on both sides Of the hall, and for n time
1t appeared possible that the bill would
not secure the necessary .two-thirds to
pass It under suspension of the rules.
But the Republican leaders, Messrs.
Henderson. Grosvenor and Cannon.

side. and Mr.. Bailey, the Democratic
leader, threw the weight of his influence
In favor OF 1t on the Democratic side.

not construe section IL as authority to
conscrlpt the minority in volunteer or
ganIzations which should elect to re-
main in the service. The bill passed,
2O3 to 80. It now goes to the President.
st The decks were also cleared of many
other important matters. The general
deficiency appropriation bill, carrying
s2l ,0S9.O00. was passed under suspen-

lister OF foreign affairs. Baron Won Bue-

Germany has for some time felt that
the tri-partite government OF Samoa
does not work smoothly. The other
governments share this feeling, and
would like q modification. There have
been various propositions, but nothing
has yet been decided. Baron Won Bue-
lows position was well understood by
the American government before he
made his declaration to the budget COM
mittee. Germany, however, will be sat-
ished to maintain the basis OF the Sa-
moa act II nothing better offers.

very conciliatory. have not yet re-
ceived from Washington full reports
