Good idea.
WASHINGTON, April 19.-I.. is more
than probable that the President will
send a message TO Congress to recon-
mend regulating the use of the posse
comitatus. Tho idea is to allow the
Presiden. complete authority to sup
press lawlessness in a State or Territory
when the local authorities are power
less. Tho question of the power of the
President to employ posse comi.atus to
suppress cowboys in Arizona is now IN
der consideration by the Attorney Gen.
eral, and the message in question will

The Chinese Bill In shc Senate.
WARRINGTON. April 19.-The House
Chinese bill was reported back TO the
tssaats this afternoon by Miller. on ac-
0otint Of amendments proposed by tho
Foreign Relations Committee. 1t was
ordered printed and placed ON the cal
endar. Miller, in reporting. gave notice
very significantly that the amendments
we're not unanimous, but. on the con-
frary, each member Of the committee re-
ssrved the right either to oppose or sup
port any of the amendments. This re-
mark was intended to foreshadow the
intention of Miller and all Democrats
the adoption of amendments which
psovide for striking out the 18th and !
18th sections known a. the Farley and |
Grover provisions of the vetoed bill.
and. as stated in these dispatches ysster-
day. there il no doubt but both sections
viii finally be retained in tho bill. Mil
Ter also gave notice today that he will
endsavor TO call up the bill for action at
2o'clock tomorrow afternoon. 1t is not
considered probable the Senate will con-
ssnt to lay aside unfinished business,
namely, the Mississippi river bill, in
order to take mp the Chinese bill tomor-
fow, but Miller's notice meanwhile
serves a. a sort Of pre- cmption claim
upon the time and attention Of the Sem
ass, to be enforced as soon as pending
measures shall have been disposed of.
An Adverse Report.
WASHINGTON, April 2o.-Ths House
Committee on Pacific Railroads today

Csvsramemt improvement Of the
Mtsssssjppi.
IN tho Senate the Mississippi and
Atnonri River improvement bill was
eonsidered. Senator Harrison argued
. length in favor of the government
eonsrol Of the Mississippi, and iuris-
uctaon over she improvements of navi-
eAkson. A uniform low water depth Of
- feet would practically bring ii,o00
n'lss Of the shore Of the Mississippi
uNsr and its tributaries to tids water.
