WASHINGTON , May 28. HOIIEC
lenders nrc figuring that the Bonatc
will agree to the house resolution to
Adjourn Wednesday , June C , so that
/ .inch business will he crowded Into
the coming _ wpnk. Individual mem
bers wftb , belated bills arc pressing
for recpgnltibn iind will be given some
fchow. Conference reports on appro ;
prlatlon bills will have the right of
way. There nrc half a dozen meaa-
ures of public Importance pressing
Including the oleomargarine bill , the
anti-canteen bill , the > l. Lolils fair
bill , the Philadelphia museum'bill and
the anti-trust measures , but the Indi
cations arc tliitt none of them save the
anti-trust bill and resolution will bo
considered. Friday and Saturday arc
to bo devoted to their 'consideration
undf'11 special rules. The friends of
the others , however , are nctiVe , ag-
gtesslve tin'd Insistent' . iiml < > tf6me of
them may be successful. But the pro
gram of the leaders does not go much
beyond driving through the appropri
ation bills , the passage of the anti
trust legislation nnd the cleaning up
of a .few odds and ends.
The time of the senate during the
l present weeek will be divided largely
| between the discussion of the Philip
pine question and the consideration of
the appropriation bills , with a diver
sion about the middle of the week In
the Clark case.
Senator Wellington will speak Mon
day on the Boer resolution and he
will be followed that day or the day
following by Senator Teller on the
Philippine question. Speeches on the
Philippine question also will be made
by Senators Pcttlgrcw nnd Turner and
probably by other senators. There Is
apparently no probability of the Phil
ippine bill passing , but there is a gen
eral desire on the part of the opposi
tion to reply to Senator Spppner's
speech before the close of the present
session.
The mindrv civil appropriation bill
probably will be considered for two
or three days more and by the time
that IB disposed of the general de
ficiency bill will be ready for consld
oration. Neither the deficiency nor
the military academv bills , the only
two appropriation bills undisnosed of.
except the sundry civil bill , is ex
pected to consume any considerable
amount of time.
The senate will make an effort to
meet the plans of the hpuse in the
matter of final adjournment on June
ft , but there is a general apprehension
among senators that the date may be
postponed until the flth or llth. In
addition to the appropriation bills still
undisposed of by the senate , there are
still several appropriation bills In con
ference and a disposition Is manifest
ed on the part of senators not to name
the date of adjournment until these
are well out of the wav.
It Is genernllv believed that the Mon
tana senatorial contest will be dls-
po ed of when It Is brought up by
referring It t" the committee on prlv-
lletrpq and elections and that then
nothing more will bo heard of It dur
ing the nresent session. The commlt-
toe resolution declaring that Senator
Clark's oriclnal election was not i gal
also bids fair to remain on the cal
endar.

WASHINGTON , May 2C. The United
States government has taken a hand
In the suppression of the "Boxers" In
China.
Minister Conger hns been Instructed
by the state department to Inform the
Chinese government that the govern
ment'of ' the United States expects It to
stamp out promptly and thoroughly
this society nnd to provide proper
guarantees for the maintenance of
peace and order and the protection of
the life and property of Americans In
China , all now threatened by the oper
ation of this anti-Christian organiza
tion.
tion.Thero
There Is no Indication In the Instruc
tions as to the course that would be
pursued by the United States govern
ment In case the Chinese refuse to fol
low the warning. Minister Conger is
acting on parallel lines with the rep
resentatives of every European power
at the Chinese court , but has not joined
in any concert of action.
It is realized here that the Chinese
government In dealing with the "Box
ers" will encounter much difficulty , as
the society claims to be purely patri
otic. Its contention is that the teach
ings of the Christians are in their re
sults absolutely destructive of the Chi
nese system of government. The
"Boxers" now are not attacking foreign
missionaries , but nrc killing the Chi
nese who allow themselves to be con
verted to Christianity.
This phase of the matter is difficult
to deal with , as It heretofore has been
n. well recognized right of a nation to
deal with Us own subjects at Its pleas
ure. This rule does not contemplate
excesses such as are ascribed to the
"Boxers , " and there Is believed to be
reasonable ground for foreign Interven
tion , which would include the partici
pation of United States war ships ,
should this be necessary.
Conger's latest advices indicate that
this troublesome society Is waxing
strong In the very heart of Pekln , and
It was evident from the tone of his
dispatch that a crisis was approach
ing which would either cause drastic
action by the Chinese government era
a hostile demonstration by the powers
in the near future.

"Messrs. Fischer , Wessels nnd Wol-
marans , who nro representing the

tations from most of the large cities
of the United States to visit them , but
owing to the short time they have to ,
spend in this country it will not bo
possible to accept all of the Invitations
iccclved. It Is their Intention to re
turn as soon as circumstances peimlt
to their own country , staying in Europe
sufficient time to carry out their in
structions , but before leaving they
have concluded to yield to the great
demand on the part ot the American
icople to spend a few more days In
America and they have concluded first
of all to visit Baltimore , Philadelphia ,
Providence and Boston during the next
week. After visiting these clMes they
ire in hopes of being able to spare
the time to extend their visit to sev
eral cities in the middle states , timely
notification of which will be given
"in with Invitations. The common
councils and mayors of a number of
cltes } are urging them by resolutions
to make them a visit and it may De
possible that their stay in this coun-
; ry may be prolonged a few days to
meet their wishes. The envoys regret
exceedingly that they cannot meet the
great number of people who are so
inxlous to greet them , ns they would
Ike to do. They express themselves
as very grateful for the many expres
sions of sympathy heard on all sides
of the cause that is so dear to them
and they trust that the Tact that they
cannot visit all who wish them to dose
so will In no way Interfere with the
full and free expression of sympathy
and good will on their part. "

inclining to the opinion that an elec
