NEELY FXTRADIJI0N BILL PASSED
House to Adjourn June 6--Reduction OF
War Rsveuues.

Washington, May 23.--The house to-
day passed without division the extra
dition bill framed by the judiciary COM
mittee, but only after debate in which
considerable political rancour was arous-
ed There was no division of sentiment
as to the duty of congress to pass a
bill to permit the extraditiun of Nicely,
but the democrats objected to the Ian
guage Of the bill which covered "any
foreign country or territory or part
thereof controlled by the United States
The democrats wanted the bill to apply
to Cuba only. A motion to recommit
with instruction to change the language
was defeated by a 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 the resolution for a sine die ad-
journment June 6. The former resolu-
ton drew the opposition of the demo-
Gratis who insisted that congress should
reduce the war tax at the present ses-
sion, but Mr. Payne, the majority lead
er, said the treasury figures showed
that the refunding of the bonds now
going on would practically wipe out the
surplus for this fiscal year.

Charged by Law and Order Mem with
Illegally Selling Liquor.

Greenwich, May 23.-Alonzo Ferris
and Oliver Ford, two well known resi-
dents of Sound Beach and prominent
members of the Congregational church
of that place, were brought here this
afternoon by two detectives of the Law
and Order league to answer to the
charge of illegal sale OF liquor. AS the
judge did not put in an appearance the
men returned to their homes without
being given a hearing. 1t is probable
that they win be brought here again
tomorrow and some interesting devel-
opments are looked for by the friends
of the men,
The story told by Messrs. Ford and
Ferris is that they were visited by the
strangers a few days ago who bargained
for boat to go out rowing and later
secured some cider to take with them.
To-day the same men put in an appear
ance and informed the gentlemen they
We're wanted for illegally selling IL
quor.
When the men were brought here no
judge could be found and the detectives
started out to look him UP. The ae-
cused men waited some little time and
as no judge put in an appearance, on
the advice of their attorney, they re-
turned to their homes without further
ceremony. While near the outskirts of
Greenwich one of the detectives over
took Mr.. Ferris and tried to stop him
by catching the horses bride. Mr.. Fer

after the detective was dragged some
little distance he was forced to let go

Further Interesting Details of Baden-
PoweIps Recent Victory,

Mafeking, May 1S.--The whole town
is animated with a keen sense of ex-
ultation over yesterdays victory, which
was complete, decisive and far-reach-
ing. The military position shortly af-
ter sunrise was extraordinary. All the
outlying works of the town were in
tact; the British had lost hardly any
men, and yet three bodies Of federals,
right inside the British lines, had been
surrounded, cut off and given an oo-
portuOity to surrender, which they de-
clined. Commandant Sarel Eloff did
not realize that his supports had oeen
driven back and he informed a messen-
ger that the town was at his mercy
Towards noon there was a lull in the
fighting.
Everybody at headquarters went to
breakfast and the commissariat requi
sitioned for horse sausage, bread and
water for the men on the fighting line,
There was no thought Of half rations.
Every one got all he could eat.
The British in the Staat, moving from
rock to rock, gradually drew in their
circle around the federaas, whom they
corralled like cattle in a compound.
Shortly after 430 p m. a white flag
was hoisted by the enemy, and then
amid ringing cheers the first batch of
Beers was dlsarmed ana sent 10 the
town. The erstwhile besiegers furnish
ed an inspirlting spectacle to the
townsfolk, themselves so long cooped
up. AS the hungry, dirty, battle-stain-
ed Beers marched between the gleam-
ing bayonets of the British the British
population received them respectfully,
but the Kaffirs gave full rein to their
enthusiasm in boots, yells and similar
expressions of delight The prisoners
seemed glad that the fight was over.
AS the afternoon advanced the crackle
of musketry began again, continuing
until nearly o'clock when Captain
Singleton shouted cease fire" A mes
sage had come from headquarters to
the effect that Eloff, his officers and
men had surrendered and had lain down
