Looks Like Foul Play.

Muskegon, Mich, May 21.-The body
of an unidentified man was found float
ing in Muskegon lake near the North
Muskegon ferry dock yesterday. The
remains had evidently been in the wa
ter for several days, and the only arti
Gle found in the clothes was a German
bible with the inscription on the fly
leaf, Joseph Meyer, Aus Bleren, Ger
many" The mans age was about 90
years, and in one hand was gripped a
crooked handled cane. 1t is thought
death may have resulted from foul
means, as there is a deep cash over
one eye and the right temple is caved
in, as if from q violent blow.

FeaturelesS Debate ON Cuban Relief
House Passes Postal Bill.
WASHINGTON, April 1.-the de-
bate on the Cuban reciprocity bill in
:, the house yesterday was: devoid of en-
, Iivening features. The most notable
speeclfsof file day, was made by Mr..
trosvenor co.. He answered the crit
les who have charged him with incon-
slstency by saying that reciprocity was
sound Republican doctrine and that
tariff schedules were not sacred. He
predicted that the tilBe would come, al
though it had not Yet arrived, when
there would be an ineXorable demand
for revision of the present rates. Mr..
Prince lll) made a strong speech
against the measure. The other speak
ers were Messrs. Lawrence (Mass.) and
Miers Und.) for the bill and Messrs.
Weeks (Mieh) and Kleberg tTeX)
against it.
An effort was made late in the day
in the senate to obtain an agreement
for vote on the Chinese exclusion Dill,
but it was unsuccessful. The ind1ca-
tjons now are that the vote will be tax
ell next Tuesday. The measure was un-
der discussion during the entire session
yesterday except for about an hour, In
which time the postottice appropriation
bill was considered and passed. Three
speeches were made against the Chi
nese bill in its present form. Early in
the session Mr.. Depew IN. ~ spoke
briefly against the adoption of the reso-
luton providing for the election of SEN
ators by popular vote.
