that if two men agree to a suicide pact
and one kills himself while the other
does not, the one failing is guilty Of muir
der in either the first or second degree.
Two men were in a buggy drinking

a pact The other Shot himself in the
head with a pistol and killed himself,

The body struck the stone pavement
on the back of the head and shoulders.
The skull was battered, every rib was

THE JEFFRIEs-JOHNsoN FIGHT.

Judge Van Nostrand, in San Francis
co yesterday, denied the attorney gen
erals application for an injunction to
restrain the Kaufman-L angford fight
today, and Gov. Gillett called upon
Adjt. Gen Lauck for two companies OF
militia to prevent this battle.
1t throws a curious light upon the
struggle now going on in that city.
The governors order was made three
hours before Judge Van Nostrand had
denied the injunction. The troops will
arrive today.
This action OF the governor kills any
hope that Tex" Richard may have
had that he could pull off the Jeffries-
johnson battle IN Frisco. A similar
call for troops on the Fourth OF July
would end that contest as it has settled
the Northumberland fight

CONGRESSIONAL.

Final action by Congress upon the
railroad bill was taken yesterday after
noon when the Senate agreed to the
conference report. The bill will go to
the president for his signature early in
the week.
The conference report was adopted
by vote Of so to IL. Now that the
bill has passed, speculation as to who
will go upon the new Court OF Com
merce has begun. Under the bill, the
president has not the appointing power
but it is lodged with the chief justice OF
the Supreme Court and the bill requires
that the men chosen shall be judges OF
the L. s. Circuit Courts. This will
limit the selection, and while it is sug-
gested it can be avoided by having the
president name as Circuit Court Judges
the men whom it is desired to have on
the new court This is devious method
and one not likely to be adopted by as
strict a constructionists as Mr.. Taft

the sundry civil bill, among the items
agreed on being that appropriating
$50, 900 for the presidents travelling
