The Chinese Bill In Congress.
WASHINGTON. April 1st.-A definite pre-
gramme has at last been agreed upon regard
fng the Chinese bill. On thu third Monday
in April, when motions from committees to
suspend the rules are in order, the Commit.
tee on Foreign Affairs will ask the House TO
suspend the rules and pass the bill, If 1t Is
reported favorably from the committee. A
two-thirds vote is required to suspend the
rules, and only half sn hour Ia
allowed for debate, but within that time
it is believed the necessity for supplemental
legislation can be clearly shown, and II
greater time ia desired for discussion the
friends of the measure will gladly yield it.
It ia expected that nine-tenths OF the
Democrats, and at least one-third Of the
Republicans, will vote for the BILL
thus giving it two-thirds majority.
it still retains its position on the calendar.
snd will be taken up when reached in the
ordinary course of business. The vote on
the motion to suspend will, Of sill events,

Senators Miller and Farley, and the mem

House, are anxious that the House bill snail
be passed, for two reasons first, the Senate
bill is unsatisfactory and the prospect Tor
amending 1t to meet all requirements is un-
certain. If it were certain that the House
bill could not psss, the Senate bill would be
pushed vigorously, as giving some measure ot
relief, but it is desired to get the House bill
before the Senate as soon SIS possible as
basis of legislation. Second, if the Senate
bill should be passed it would go to the foot
of file of over 600 Senate bills now lying on
the Speakers desk awaiting action. There
is not the slightest prospect that 1t would De
re ched for conference this session, aud might
fall a. the pext, While the Senate would not con
cur in the House l.. until the House refused to
adoJt its measure, and conference could
be held. It is needless to disguise the fact
that there is apathy in both the parties on
the subject of both bills, and the impression
obtains among quite number OF members
of both parties that the present law Is ade'
quate to the purpose for which 1t was framed
