Systematic Murder of Missionaries in China. CONSULS ASK FOR PROTECTION. The Situation in China is Alarming and Will Tax to the Utmost the sources of That Government. Washington. D. C.. Special.?Such advices as have reached here indicate that the situation in China has assumed a very critical phase, and one calculated to tax the entire resources of the Chinese government. The State Department has been in close com municauon wnn sir. uongcr, our minister at Pekin, and the Navy Department 1s doing its share, having placed the flagship Newark as far up the river as the Takn forts, which is the nearest point to Pekin that the ship can reach. The operations of the "Boxers" are increasing in magnitude. Their demonstrations are no longer local, and they appear to he governed In their movements by some well settled designs. They have murdered nine Methodist missionaries in one province, at the town of Pachow, and have closed in on Pekin. meanwhile, the Chinese army is suspected of dis- j loyalty, this belief being strengthened by wholesale desertions of the soldiers to the "Boxers." Minister Conger has appealed to the State Department for the protection of a marine guard for his legation. The > Department has promptly cabled him ! an authorization to call upon the'near est United States naval vessels ror assistance. It Is not known yet whether he has availed himself of the permission. The embarrassing feature of the situation is the cutting of the communicatipn "by rail between Taku and Tien Tsin. and the capital, for the Box- , ers have burned the raliroad bridges, and there are probably only two courses open to the marines who wish to reach Pekin?a long overland ; march through a hostile country away ! from supports, or a tedious voyage up ! the swift and shallow Pel Ho in shore | boats in tow of steam launches. According to report, the Chinese ! government has done everything in its j power to meet the demands cf the dip- | lomatic body at Pckin for the disper- j sion of the Boxers, but it appears that the uprising is far more serious than was at first apprehended, and even : the resident ministers at Pekin are in- i clined to admit that the ,Ssk is not an easy one for the Chinese govern- i ment. So far all of the measures | taken by the State Department look to j the simple protection of the American legaion at Pekin. the American consulates in the vicinity and the lives of , such Americans as may be obliged to j take refuge therein, in tlT event of general rioting. The Stat/ Department is closelv adhering to the prac- j tice it has always observed of non-in- j terference In these Chinese disturb- ] anees, and it is not contemplated that i our naval forces shall take any part in the contest between the Chliuse government and the Boxers, though it is assumed that Rear Admiral Remey, the cir .-mancler-in-chief cf the ' Asiatic station, will take steps to supply Rear Admiral Rempff, the senior squadron commander, with such naval force as he may need for safe- | guarding American Interests at the , treaty ports.

London, by Cable.?A special dis- ( patch from Shanghia says: "Tuesday the Chinese government Issued an edict prohibiting the Boxers' organization. under penalty of death. The edict, which wss signed by the Emperor, was couched in equivocal terms and promulgated really more as an excuse than En condemnation of the movement." CONGRESSIONAL. Dally Proceedings of the Senate and House. One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth Day.?The Senate committee cn rein tions with Cuba adopted a number of resolutions calling upon the various der?"tments for information bearing upt i the irregularities in Cuba, which the committee has been directed to investigate. The principal inquiries are to be directed to the Secretary of war. but the Postmaster General, the Secre'rrv of the Treasury and Secretary of the Navy are to be called on. One Hundred and Thirtieth Day? The Senatorial debate was caustic and is warm as the weather ov doors. At times the exchange* between Senators bordered on personalities. Much of the discussion was of a political nature, although in themselves the questions involved were not political. Soon after the Senate convened a memorial was presented from the people of California, asking that the government provide some relief for the starving people of India. Mr. Hale, of Maine, with this as a text, severely ari raigned Great Britain for expending hundreds of millions of dollars in crushing liberty and freedom in South Africa, instead of caring for the help| less and dying people of England's chief colony. Mr. Aldrich. of Rhode Island, charged Mr. Hale with mak! ing political speeches on irrelevant j 1 matters and a little later when Mr. j Hale reported a further disagreement j I on the naval appropriation bill, an ex- f citing discussicfi arose over the armor plate question. ^ ?wl T V? i v-Qopati rl I j uuu nuiMicu iuiu ?. | | Day.?After an extended uebate the I Senate passed the bill providing for the , j extradiction of persons who have com- ! mitted certain crimes in Cuba, frcm , the United States to the Island. As amended the bill provides that the alleged criminal shall be punished under the laws of Cuba as administered by Cuban courts. The last of the Appropriation bills, the General Deficiency, was passed, as was also the Emergency River and Harbor Dill, providing -for numerous surveys and for certain other public works. Mr. Clay (Dem.. Ga.) and Mr. Stewart (Nev.), all addressed the Senate at j leugth on the questions involved in the government of our insular possessions. The session was concluded with eulogies on the late Representative Green, of Nebraska. HOUSE. One Hundred and Twernty-elghth i Day.?The House, by a vote of 107 to 124, refused to accept the Senate am- , endment to the naval appropriation bill relating to armor plate, and adopted a 1 modified proposition leaving the price ; of armor plate to the secretary of the j navy with power, in his discretion, to erect an armor plate factory if he can 1 not purchase armor plate at a reasona- , ble price. One Hundred and Twenty-Ninth i Day.?The programme of the leaders j - " lo.,TW.l> ! 01 tne House cuiueinyiaicu mc iouuvuing of the debate upon the anti-trust ' resolution, but it gave way to Decoration Day f 'timent. Mr. Dplztll introduced, bnt suuse quently withdrew, the special order under which the House was to have operated, in deference to the sentiment favoring adjournment out cf respect to Decoration Day. At>.er con- : siderable parleying Mr. Dalzell made ; tnis concession technically to permit I the passage cf 190 pension bills which | Mr. Talhrrt had blocked last Friday on the point of no quorum. The bills were ' passed rft'.r Mr. Dalzell's action. Or.e Hundred and Thirtieth Day.? The House. after a lively debate ex- : tending over two days, defeated the joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment empowering Con-j gress to regulate trusts, it requires a two-thirds vote under the constitution to adopt an amendment to the consti- j tution. The vote stood, ayes 134, nays 131. The affirmative vote, therefore, was 38 short of the requisite two- j thirds. Five Democrats. Messrs. Camp-1 bell, of Montana; Nathan, of Massaehu-! s*tts; Scudder, of New York; Sibley, I of Pennsylvania, and Thayer, of Mass-; achusetts, and one silverite. Mr. New-1 lands, of Nevada, voted with the Re- j publicans for the resolution, and two Republicans, Mr. Loud, of California, and Mr. McCall, of Massachusetts, j with the Democrats aeainst it These I were the only breaks frou. party lines, j The Populists voted solidly against the resolution. One Hundred and Thirty-Second Day.?BefoV proceeding to the con- I sideration of the Anti-Trust bill under I the special order, the House disposed ! of some routine business. Mr. Watson, j of Indiana, was appointed one of the board of visitors to the Naval Acad- j emy in place of Mr. Grout, resigned, t The Senate amendments to the Sun- j dry Civil bill were disagreed to, and 1 t?w. niii was sent to conference. .Mr. Bartholdt. of Missouri, asked if1 opportunity would be afforded to test the sense of the House on a motion to concur in the St. Louis Exposition appropriation. Mr. Cannon replied in the affirmative. When Lights Burned Low. He never went hack In the course of his wooing But held to the track With a smooth way of doing: There was no need of guessing It clearly was shown He was swiftly progressing By holding his own. ?f'hientro Be^rd. * m 440m 81 \A*s& Av Ill K.M.n Our fee returned if we fail.
