SYMPATHY FOR BoERs.
Resolutions Are Presented in the

Prevents Action.

Washington, April 30.-Quite unex-
pectedly, the senate on Saturday was
brought face to face with the propo-
sition to extend it's sympathy to the
Beers in their war with Great Britain.
In the midst of the consideration of
bills of minor Importance Senator Pet
tigrew Is. d. called up the following
and asked for it's immediate consider
alton:
Whereas, From the hour of achieving
their own independence the people OF the
| United States have regarded with SYM
pathy the struggles of other people to free
themselves from European domination,
| therefore, be II
Resolved, That we watch with deep and
abiding interest the heroic battle of the
| South African republics against cruelty
and oppression and our best hopes go out
| for the full success of their determined
| contest for liberty"
When Senator Lodge (Mass.) had
formally ascertained that no commit
tee had reported the resolution to the
senate, he moved that it be referred
to the committee on foreign relations
Without word of debate the vote was
taken, 81 senators voting in favor of
reference and II against it. AS the
vote disclosed the absence of quo
rum, an effort was made to secure one,
but it was unsuccessful, and the SEN
ate adjourned. Party lines were not
drawn in the vote to refer. While all
those who voted against reference are
in favor of the adoption of the reso-
luton, several senators on both sides
of the chamber, who are known to lie
favorable to the resolution, voted to
send it to the committee. AS a quo
rum was not present and voting, the
resolution retains it's place subject to
call at any time. Beyond the passage
of few bills, no business of inn
| portance was transacted.
