NINE WEPF. KILLED.
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.

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

| 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.
