two republics are recited. President kru-

were looking for q customs union. TIL y
were against every connections with the
Cape and against commercial union

At the second conference In 1882 Mr..
Wolmarans, the Boer envoy, now In
Washington, is represented as saying:

Matesty's government, and we will and
must shake ourselves free and become in

To this end. the Times asserts President
Kruger In this conference was concerned
to get an offensive and defensive treaty

Kruger got his way in using the Free

ExTR ADDITION BILL PASSED.
Resolution Adopted for Sine Die Ad-
journment on June @.


jOurnment on June g.
Washington May 23-The House to-
day passed without division the extradi-
tion bill, framed by the Judiciary Commit
tee. but only after debate, In which
considerable political rancor was aroused.
There was no division of sentiment as
to the duty of Congress to pass a bill
to permit the extradition of Neely, but
the Democrats objected to the language of
the bill. which covered "any foreign coun-
try or territory, or part thereof. occupied
by the United States"
The Democrats wanted the bill to apply
specifically to Cuba, contending that the
broader language assumed the possibiii-
ties of further acquisitions by the United
States, of a character similar to that of
Cuba. A motion to recommit with instruc-
tions to change the language was defeat
ed by strict party vote.
The House also adopted the resolution
to allow the Committee on Ways and
Means to sit during the recess of Con-
gress, for the purpose of framing a bill
for the reduction of the war revenues, and
