WASHINGTON, June Is.
In the Senate, to-day, Morgan submitted
a joint resolution proposing an amendment
to the Constitution, allowing the President
Of the United States to approve any part Of
an appropriation bill, and to dispfoye II
portion OF such bill as he may think proper.
1t was referred.
Representatives Davis, Page and Wiggin-
ton, held a consultation yesterday, to-
gether with Willis, of Kentucky, concern
ing the best means Of obtaining action by
the House, this session, upon the Chinese
question. As a result of the consultation
it was determined, and subsequently ar
ranged with Speaker Randall, that Willis,
who had made the report from the Com
mittee on Education and Labor on this
subject, should be authorized to make q
motion to suspend the rules for the passage
Of the bill agreed upon by that committee,
limiting the number Of Mongolians admis-
sable by any one vessel to fifteen. Willis
name, on the Speakers list of members
recorded for recognition to make such mo-
tons, comes before those of Page and
Davis, and whether his motion fails to OBJ
tain the necessary two-thirds vote or not,
one Of the California Representatives will
follow it up by a motion to concur in the
Senate resolution, advising the President
to open negotiations for restrictions Of
Chinese immigration, by a modification Of
the B~nrlingame treaty. Speaker Randall
promises to do all in his power to secure
for Willis, Davis and Page the needed OPP
portunities to make these motions before
the close OF the present session, and u
prospect for the success Of the programme
IS considered very encouraging.
The documents sent to the House of
Representatives by the President, at the
instance OF the Potter Committee, en-
brace all the communications to and from
the Louisiana Commissioners in charge of
the Department OF State, all of which have
