Chicago. May 31.--A despatch to The Tribune from Kankakee. Ill. says: At the close of four hours search for her three youngest children. Mrs. Adelord Van Slettc found them last night dead in a trunk in an upper chamber.
 All three were little girls. the young est a mere baby. One dead body was sitting upright. the others lay hud- dled together on a pillow. The lid of the big trunk was tightly closed upon them It Is supposed they had crawl ed into the trunk during their play and that the cover fell and latched and that they were suffocated. The tray of the trunk had been lifted out and lay upon bed.
 With their six boys and four girls the Van Sleetes moved here from a farm at Beaverville. a year ago. Van Sleete Is a teamster and is in good circumstances. The family occupied a five room house. The children had been playing out of doors much of the day listening to music and watching the Martial Display. Late in the af- ternoon the three youngsters. Ida s years Rosella. aged 6 and Pearl, aged two left the others going into the house Supper time came and Mrs Van Sleete's calls failed to bring any response.

The tray had been taken from the trunk and was laying on the bed. Mrs Van Slette lifted the lid Of the closed trunk and saw her two babies lying on pillow In the bottom of the trunk
 Ida was sitting upright, her head dropping on her breast. The children were Nso still that Mrs. Van sleete stood in sympathetic stiffness for an instant Then she put forth her hand and touched Ida and spoke. Contact with the girls head and the lack of re- sponse froze the woman with horror The children were dead. The trunk is not self locking. but 1t has clasps that easily might snap and hold it shut against the strength of the chill Aran

 After the reading of a message of congratulation from the President Of the Argentine Parliament eouched in extremely cordial terme. which was
 received with much applause. tho group of radical constitutional Demo- cratssupported by the workmen group. urged the necessity of immediately framing a law to abolish the death penalty In view of the governments refusal to cease exceptions.
 The majority of the speeches were extremely revolutionary in tone and the moderate and constitutional Demo- cratic leaders had hard work In stem ming the tide Of radicalism which threatened to carry the House off it's feet.
 M. Alladin, the peasant leader, now the Robespierre of the Russian Par liament, urged the necessity for the instant adoption of a law abolishing the death penalty and procIaiming general amnesty as a supreme act of parliament without regard to the &C., ton of the upper House or of the gov- ernment- or else proclaim to Russia that "Parliament Is impotent. all It's powers having been usurped by the owners of the Cossacks and machine guns"
