Senate Bill,

|
Senate BID.
WASHINGTON, January 27th.-The Chinese
bill reported from the Committee on Foreign
Relations by Senator Miller, which is to bs
called up for action in the Senate pex'
Wednesday, was originally framed with suet
care, and has since been subjected by Miller
and his fellow members of the sub committee
to such critical examination of all its pro.
visions. down to the minutest details of Its
phraseology, that the full committee are
unanimously of the opinion that it is no;
susceptible of any further improvement. Ii
Will therefore be urged for passage without
amendment, and il by any possibility 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 committee to
offer their bill as a substitute for the House
bill. If, on the other hand-as now seems 20
be quite certain-tbe Senate shall take action
on the subject in advance of the House OF
Representatives, the House committee viii
recommend the passage of the Senate bill.
