THE VENEZUELA QUESTION.
‘Massachusetts Pldased at the Prospective
.Honorable Adjustment — National
Bankruptcy Bill Reports.
\Vork of the House.
WASHINGTON, May 12-.—In a memorial
presented to the. senate today by Mr.
Lodge (Rep, Mass.) the legislature of
Massachusetts expresses its satisfaction at-
the prospective honorable adjustment of
the Venezuelan question on a basis of
recognition of the Monroe doctrine.
Bills were passed authorizing the state
of South Dakota to select Fort Sully mil-
itary reservation as post lands granted to
the state under the act of admission; for
the restoration of lands within Fort Lewis,
(00].) military reservation to the public
domain; to validate the acts of certain
deputy United States marshals in the In-
dian Territory.
In reporting the bankruptcy bill from
the judiciary committee Mr. Teller stated
that it favored the substitution of the sen-
ate bankruptcy bill for that passed by the
house.
Mr. Mitchell .(Rep., Or ) added that the
minority of the committee favored the
house bill.
A report was made favoring compensa-
tion-for such-sufferers from the Ford thea-
ter disaster as were not provided for in a
former act, and Mr. Faulkner offered an
amendment to the urgent deficiency blll
covering the amounts to be paid.
The joint resolution was passed author-
izing foreign exhibitors at the Tennessee
centennial exposition, to be held in Nash-
villa, in 1897, to bring to this country
foreign laborers from their respective
countries for the purpose of preparing for
and making their exhibits and allowing
articles imported from foreign countries
for the sole purpose of exhibition at said
exposition to be imported free of duty, un-
der regulations prescribed by the secretary
of the treasury.
Bills were passed for the use of national
military park‘s as fields for military ma-
neuvers by the state or federal forces; an.
thorlzlng the county of Navajo, A. T., to
issue bonds for a. courthouse, etc; house

building at Portland, Or., and fixing this

The River and Harbor Bill.
The river and harbor bill was then taken
up, the question being on the only remain-
ing amendment for a deep water harbor at
Santa Monica, Cal. Mr. Berry (Dem.,
Ark), a member of the commerce com-
mittee. spoke in opposition to the amend-
ment. He declared that this proposed ex-
penditure of $3,000,000 against the recom-
mendation of government engineers and
against the advice of the California sena-
tors was the most unjust and inexcusable
proposition he had ever seen in connection
with river and harbors. It was a disregard
of public sentiment and an appropriation
of public money for uses which will bene-
fit private individuals only. It was the
first effort yet made, said Mr. Berry, to
override the government engineers by pri-
vate interest and having only private in-
terests at stake. After speaking of the
great importance of the river and harbor
bill, Mr. Berry declared that if this
amendment was forced on the bill it would
probably defeat the bill for this session.
In the House.
Some preliminary routine business was
transacted when the house met today.
The senate bill to extend the charter of
~the Denison and Northern railroad was
passed, also bills to grant the Denver,
Cripple Creek and Southwestern railroad
a right of way through the South Platte
and Plum creek forest reserve; to grant
pipe lines right of way over the public
domain in Colorado and Montana:
grant the Flagstaff and Canyon railroad
right of way through the Grand canyon
forest reservation.
Mr. Tracey (Rep, Mo.) asked unani-
mous consent for the, passage of a resolu-
tion authorizing the appointment of a spe-
cial committee to investigate the manage-
ment of the Leavenworth Soldiers’ home.
Mr. Hall (Dem., Mo.) objected.
The senate bill was passed to provide for
the safety of passengers on excursion
steamers by authorizing the secretary of
enforce regulations at regattas.

Possible Identification of the Colon-
nade Hotel Suicide.
MAY HAVE BEEN MISS PIERCE '
Two Personl From Boston See a Strong
Besemblnncc—One of the Most Puz-
De-
tectives Ever Encountered.
cling Cues New York’s
NEW YORK, May 12.—The best claw to
the identification of the mysterious Colon-
nade hotel suicide came out at the morgue
today. Mr. and Mrs. H. 0. Pierce of Bos-
ton went there and requested to see the
body. They said they thought the dead
woman was Hattie Pierce. They declared '
that no relationship had existed betWeen
them and the Pierce woman, but that they
had known her in Boston.
Mr. and Mrs. Pierce said that the wom-
an had lived with a man by the name of
Frank Pierce at the corner of Tremont
and Castle streets. Boston. They couldn’t .
tell what business Pierce was engaged In. ’
They said that Hattie Pierce had formerly
been married to a man whom she deserted
when she went to live with Pierce. She
was a native of Portugal and spoke with
a peculiar lisping accent. The description
of Hattie Pierce, Mr. and Mrs. Pierce said,
tallied exactly with that of the features of
the suicide. They said if the two were not
one and the some person the resemblance
was most remarkable.
Many claws and theories have been ad-
vanced concerning the woman. but they
all have led to nothing so far as throwing
any light upon the mygtery is concerned.
What may be considered a new clew was
found today. This was in the shape of a
letter received at the Colonnade hotel.
The writer of the letter lives in Virginia.
He stays at the Colonnade hotel when in
this city. The man wrote to the hotel pro-
prietor and asked him to have another in-
spection made of the dead woman’s cloth-
ing. He had reason, he said, to believe that
the woman was a relative who had started
from Virginia for this city about two
weeks ago. Nothing had been heard of
her since.
The description of the suicide. the
writer said, tallied exactly with that of
the person for whom he was looking. The
handwriting of the suicide, as shown in
the letter that she wrote before taking her
life, which was reproduced in the news-
papers. the writer said, was identical with
that of. his missing relative. The initials
found on the dead woman’s clothing were
not the same except for one letter.
Peculiar Chirography.
If another examination of the dead wo-
man’s clothing revealed initials “E. B.,”
the writer of the letter said that he would
then be convinced of the identity of the
woman at the morgue. The only letters
found on the woman’s clothing when it
was examined last week were “K. B.”
and “L.”
The suloide’s handwriting was peculiar
for a woman. It resembled the handwrit-
ing of a bookkeeper or a male clerk. It is
a familiar style adopted by some men. It
was the handwriting that prompted the
Virginia man to send the letter to the
Colonnade.
In his letter the man asked that his
name and place of residence be withheld
from publication unless the initials “E.
B.” were found on the woman’s clothing.
As the man is a patron of the hotel, his
wish was respected by the clerk. He said
that the entire contents of the letter would
not be made public unless the initials “E.
B.” were discovered.
The woman could not be recognized now
except by a person who had known her
well. The body will not be kept at the
morgue more than a. few days longer.
Morgue Keeper White has written to the
public administrator and asked what he
shall do with the body In case it is not
identified within the next few days. The
woman left $89.13 when she kllled herself
and asked that her body be cremated.
Two men called at the coroner’s office
early today. They requested the clerk to
let them look at the two rings which be-
longed to the suicide. They examined
them very minutely. The men declared
then that the rings were not those they
had expected to find. One of the men was
of heavy build, 6 feet tall, with short crop-
ped hair and a heavy brown mustache.
His companion was almost as tall. some-
what less heavy and had black hair and
mustache. He spoke with a slightly for-
eign accent.
Many persons called at the morgue to
look at the body. Some were in search of
missing friends or relatives, while others
called out of morbid curiosity. None rec-
ognized the body.
