Washington, April SO.-Again today
the question Of expressing sympathy for
the Beers was thrust on the attention
of the senate. This time it came up on
a motion to proceed to the considera-
ton of the resolution introduced by
Mr.. Pettigrew which was before the
senate last Saturday. The motion was
defeated-29 TO 20.
The conference report on the joint
resolution relating TO the administra-
ton Of civil affairs in Porto Rico and
providing for the appointment of tenn
pOrary officers on the Island was
agreed to- During the greater part of
the session the Alaskan civil code bill
was under consideration, bat no pro-
gresS was made.
Resolutions offered by Mr.. Jones
(Ark.) were agreed to calling for in
formation regarding alleged irregular
practices of William H. Theobald, spe-
cial treasury agent at New York.
Mr.. Pettigrew, after ascertaining that
his resolution expressing sympathy for
the Beers, which was before the sen
ate when the body adjourned on Satur-
day, had gone to the calendar, moved
to take up the esOlution. On this mo-
ton the ayes and nays were demanded.
1t was defeated, % to 20, as follows:

for the night. It was reported that the

four for conviction. Mr.. Roberts and
his attOrney, James H. MOyle and
County Click Dunbar were waiting pa
tiently in the court room in the hope
that the jury would arrive at d deci-
siOn and only left when it was reported
that the jury would not reach a verdict.
The entire morning session Of the
court and part of the afternoon was
consumed in empanelling a jury The
questions put to the jurors by the
counsel on both sides were most eX-
haustive. They were cateChised re
garding their religious beliefs, whether
they would hesitate TO find the defend
ant guilty on account Of any criticism
that they might be subjected to or on
account of social obligations, and few
dozen other questions.
When at last the jury was empanelled

Plague in South Africa.

New York. April 3d. A dispatch to
the World from London says: Frederick
Treves, the famous surgeon who has
just returned from the war, was enter
tanned, together with Sir William Nc
Cormack, at a ball at the Reform club
Saturday night, presided over by Lord
ROseberry. Mr. Treves took occasion
to administer a singing rebuke to the
smart" women suffering from Khadi
fever, VINO have gone as alleged nurses
to the front He said:
so far as the sick are concerned,
there are only two plaques in Africa
the plague of flies and the plague Of
women. The flies we get rid Of by
horse hair wisps and other appliances
and the flies at least depart at night.
But the women are absolutely and real
~ a terror. They came out in the guise
Of amateur nurses, after having ex-
hausted every other form of excite
ment.
Considering that we are engaged in
q war, the number of well-dressed Ia
dies at Cape Town and elsewhere giving
picnics is a blot on the campaign"

subject merely on account Of the mani

them after the Issuance Of the nantes

Mr. jenkins, after some hesitation,
said that he would. He admitted, on
further questioning. that he had q feel
ing against the prosecution of a case
of this kind Mr.. Putnam then chal-
lenged and asked the court that Mr..
jenkins be excused for cause. AttOr-
lIey J. H. MOyle for the defense, re-
sisted. The court made the statement
that the only object was to obtain fair
and impartial Jurymen, and Mr.. Jsnk-
ms vouchsafed the reply that his opin-
ions would not prevent him from Civ
ing a fair and impartial judgment, al
though he owned that he had a feeling
of sympathy for the defendant.
Have you ever been charged or con-
4 victed of a crime Of this sOrt2' con-
tinued Mr.. Putnam.
No"
Would your prejudice against the
prosecution Of such case not make 1t
harder Tor you to convict the defend
No"
you are sure that you could try the
case impartialiy?"
Mr.. jenkins belief that he could give
al unbiased judgment did not prevent
his being excused from service on the
jury
Edwards Is Accepted.
John F. Edwards. answering the
questions put TO him by the county at
torney. said that sometimes he thought
that the matter Of prosecution on this
charge was right, and sometimes he did

mon William II. Dern said that he
had no religious belief with regard TO
the practice Of pOlygamy prior to the
time Of the manifesto. He believed that

Before the issuance Of the manifesto
he Rad believed in standing by The law

The second call brought out Ralph
Sharkey, H 5. Beattie and William s.

Of having formed opinions on the case
