 The Chinese Question.
 WAsHINGToS, April 22.-Senators Mil
 Ter and Farley each took occasion to re-
 mind the Senate yesterday that they ia-
 tend to press the Chinese bill for consid-
 'ratiOn just as soon as the Mississippi
 River bill Is disposed of.
 Miller intimated that he would urge
 the Senate to take up the bill next Tues
 day, whether the pending business be
 then finished or not.
 | Farley said he was assured by friends of the Mississippi Improvement bill that it would be pressed to final vote on
 Monday and as the great importance of l theChinese bill was sapparent to every Sen ator, he earnestly hoped that there would be no opposition to taking it up for ac- ton on the day following. He also ex- pressed his opinion that it will Dot oecu- py more than one day.
 The presiding officer, Judge Davis, remarked that notices of this kind have no binding effect, and that the Senate will have tO determine its order of bus mess after dispOsing of the pending bIll. This of course Is true, and was under stood before be announced it, but the reiterated notices of the California Sen ators have, nevertheless, practically served tine Preemption purpose for winch they were intended, and there is no doubt that the Chinese bill will be brought before the Senate for action on Tuesday. or Wednesday,. At the Repub- lIcan caucus Teller's resignation was received; and after his duties had been devOlved upon q Caucus Committee of arrangements, Edmunds brought up the Chinese question by suggesting that it would be good party policy to give tle united Republican support to the amendment reported from the For eign Relations Committee. which provides for striking ont the l4th and 18th sections of the House bill These are sections that expressly prohibit Chinese naturalization and define the term Chinese labOrers to mean both skilled and unskilled laborers It is evident many Senators are Tn favur of adopting Edmunds counsels. Miller and Jones, promptly replied that they could not consent to have these sections striken out, also emphatically remarked that they would refuse To be bound by any caucus action on the Chinese ques- tion. Two Democrats namely Brown and and Hill of GeorgIa are thoroughly op- posed to the Chinese bill, and if Miller and Jones should be deserted by all thelrRepublican cCllelgI 'wher ,the,vote k taken on these amendments, the result in full Senate wOuli be determined by Davis, of Illinois, who would almost cer- taiuly vote to strike out 14th and 18th sections. This contingency IS not prob ably however.
