WASHINGTON, Jan. 17th.-The
Chinese bill reported from the
Committee on Foreign Relations
by Senator Miller, which is to be
called up for action in the Senate
next "Wednesday, was originally
framed with such care and has
since been subjected by Miller and
his fellow members Of the sub.
committee to such critical exami-'
nation of all Its provisions, down
to the minutest details of its phra-
seology, that the full committee
are unanimously of opinion that it
10 not susceptible of any further
improvement. 1t will therefore,
be urged for passage without
amendment and if by any possi.
bility the bill agreed upon by the
House Committee should pass the
House of Representatives before
this measure passes the Senate, it
is the intention of the Senate com.
mittee TO offer their bill as sub
stitute for the House bill. If, on
the other hand, as now seems to be
quite certain, the Senate shall
take action on the subject in adj
vance of the House of Representa-
tives, the House committee will
recommend the passage of the Sem
ate bill.

NEW YORK, Jan. 27th.-The
Graphic's Washington correspond.
ent says: Some friends of the Pres
ident state that he will make i'm.
portant appointments next week,
the CHER of which will be two of
the Cabinet, and that Booth is
talked of for the Secretaryship of
the Interior. Booths friends claim
that he is stronger on the Pacific
Coast than Sargent. Those friends
do not say what the President
thinks of this proposition, and so
far az known consideration of the
matter is confined chiefly to per-
sons who don't have the making of
Cabinet officers. Sargent's friends
do not seem to be disturbed about
the report. They say Miller has
reason to be assured that he will be
appointed, and Logan is said to
have expressed confidence that
Sargent would not be appointed.
Logan endorses Chaffee, but it is
believed he stands no chance.
