The Situation.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-The condi-
ton of the repeal bill in the senate
with reference to compromise is not
SO easy of definition today as it APP
peared Saturday. The situation APP
pears to have changed somewhat
from the standpoint of the ultra re-
peal force. The reason tor this change
real or apparent has in it the fact
that the administration has again
made known it's wish that further
efforts be made to get the repeal bill
through without an amendment. 1t
is said that Cleveland is determined
that congress shall continue todebate
the question if necessary until the
first of December. Voorhees, said
this morning, however, he would ex-
pect the senate to sit again tonight,
and each night hereafter, until the
question could be disposed of on the
lines originally mapped out. He
said he could not expect to continue
all night, but we'll into the night.
The compromise Democratic senators
all still at work and do not accept the
opinion that compromise can be
prevented.
The anti-repeal senators show
disposition to resent the efforts to Sc
cure night sessions this week. They
have had conference among them
aelves and have decided to filbuster
outright to prevent them.

Lodge of Massachusetts spoke in fa-
vor of his amendment to the rules
providing that no senator shall read
a written or printed speech, and that
senators present and not voting shall
be counted as present for the purpose
of a quorum. He said the present
condition of the senate was an abso-

WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.-The house
debate on the McCreary bill to extend
the provisions of the Geary Chinese
exclusion act six months was resumed.
Blair of New Hampshire, who was
nominated to the Chinese mission by
Harrison, but whose exequatur was
not granted by the Chinese govern
ment, on account of his hostile ex-
pressions toward the Chinese when
exclusion act was passed in 1889,
spoke in favor of the bill. While he
did not think the McCreary bill was
all-embracing in substance, it COW
cred the policy upon which the gov
ernment had entered with reference
to the Chinese.
IF the policy we have undertaken
respecting Chinese immigration is
now mutilated or modified" said he,
''we might as well assume that the
tide OF immigration from all other
directions is to flow in unimpeded. !"
He strongly favored the photo
graphing Identification clause on the
ground that no honest Chinaman
could object to the provision. 1t
might furnish a new rogue's gallery,
but what of it? He indorsed the
Geary law, unless, he said, we were
merely tampering with the policy of
Chinese exclusion.
At the conclusion of Blair's address
the senate amendments to the bill
providing qualifications for voters in
the Cherokee Strip were concurred in,
and then the debate on the McCreary
bill was resumed.
Wilson of Washington character
lied it as one of the most remarkable
ever presented to congress. The
Geary law had passed by vote of
1856 to 27. He reviewed the alleged
course of the administration in die
tating to congress and in nullifying
the Chinese and pension laws.
"For thirty years." said he, "the
Democratic party has howled about
usurpation and Capitalization OF polit-
ical power. There has been more
Capitalization of political power and
more usurpation of legislative func-
tions by the executive department
since March 4th than since the foun-
dation of the rebublic to the present
time" Republican applause.]
At 8 o'clock by The terms of agree
ment, the previous question was con-
sidered ordered on the bill and pend
ing amendments.
Geary's three amendments were
into one, defining the
term of Chinese merchant, providing
for the photographing Of registered
Chinese, and requiring the United
States marshals to execute the depor-
tation clause with despatch and pro-
viding that, pending its execution, a
Chinaman shall be confined and not
admitted to bail. Agreed to by vote
OF 100 to 10. A vote was then taken
on the McCreary bill amended, and
a rising vote resulted in l67 ayes to 8
nays.
Loud made point of no quorum.
Tellers were ordered and quorum
developed. Loud's request was with
drawn and the bill declared passed.
The amendment offered by Cami-
netti, which provides that no China
man convicted of felony shall be
entitled to registration, but shall be
subject to deportation, was also
adopted.

PREMIER DUPUY'S POLICY.

He Will Act With Circumspection and Con-
sideratiOn. Looking to the Public Welfare.
N. Dupuy, the new premier. read a state
ment Of his policy in the French chamber
OF deputies yesterday.
He said: The government is conscious of
the difficulties Of the present situation, but
feels confidence in view of the profound tran
guilty prevailing in the country, and its abid-
ing faith il the republic, which proves that the
painful incidents Of the last few months.
despite the efforts to turn them to advantage
for political ends, have neither checked the
vigorous growth of the republic nor
injured the country's traditional reputation for
prosperity and honor. IApplause.l One les
son to be drawn from these trials is that COM
potency and afiuencs are only to be acquired
by honest work and only obtained by re
gard for morality and the preservation Of
self-respect. This lesson has gone home to
the national conscience. We may, therefore,
regard the future with confidence. Every
day universal suffrage brings democratic inspi-
rations into greater accord with republican in
situations, and the day is at hand when the
public will render an agreement easier to es-
tabiish. The surest means of Fastening such a
result Is that the public administration should
act with correctness and with consideration for
equity and order to secure the common well
fare.
Citizens, ask you to let the country feel
that parliamentary institutions are following
their normal course by resoiute attention to
legislative business
Applause greeted the close Of NJ. Dupuy's
address.

The contents of that wonderful treasury of
antique records discovered in 1887 by a peas
ant woman near the ruins Of the ancient Arsi-
noe in upper Egypt have now been laid before
the public in Major Conder's work on the Tel
Amarna Tablets, comprising translation of
the text, with Introduction and notes. In
scribed on clay tablets. subsequently baked
into brick, and written in Aramaic, the ancient
language of Syria, in cuneiform characters,
we have here nothing less than a series of dis
patches sent to the Egyptian foreign Office
about 1880 B. c., from the protected Of trib-
utary kings Of Canaan, imploring assistance
against various invasions. The most inter-
esting are the letters from the King of Jerusa-
lem and other chiefs Of southern Palestine, for
in them We can trace the dismay and alarm
created by the advance of Joshua and the
Hebrews, called "Abiri'' and People Of the
Desert" A very striking passage occurs in
one Of the dispatches Of the fugitive monarch,
apparently after the battle of Ajalon, in which.
seeking. as it were, to apologize for his defeat
he speaks of the leaders Of the enemy as '.sor.
cerers." doubtless in allusion to the miracles
of Joshua. The ate Of the Exodus is also
shifted back to that assumed by earlier bibli-
cal opponents, while the contrary theory of
DR.. Brugsch. too hastily accepted a. conclu-
lively established, is overthrow.

He Was Guilty of Atrocities Toward Hi
Suapected Wives

Suspected Wives.
Further information in regard to the
atrocities committed by Mir Khudadad
Khan, the ruler of Khelat, India, is to the
effect that, having suspected five of his nu-
merous wives to be guilty OF infidelity, he
caused them to be cruelty put to death.
In answer to the demand of the British In
dian government that the khan should hsrate
his surviving prisoners and should give an ex-
PLANTATION of his course, the khan has agreed to
deliver up the prisoners to the British agent
The cruelties of which the khan had been
guilty appearing indefensible the British agent
has imposed upon the khan a fine Of 10000
rupees, the money to be devoted to the benefit
Of the families Of those who have been IN
justly executed. This will mean . reduction OF
the annual subsidy paid to the khan by the Brit
ish government from 100, 900 rupees to g, 600
rupees for the year. The Khan of Khelet, who ia
himself at the head Of confederacy Of chiefs,
is amenable to the advice OF the agent to the
governor general in Bealsochistan, who arbi-
trates in matters between the khan and his
subordinates. The conduct of the khan 10 al

Although the mystery of the death of Frank
| Bowie in Prince Georges county had been
solved. confirmation of the universal belief has
been obtained in the confession Of the muir
derers. Pinkney. according to the authorities,
asserts that on the evening Of the murder he
talked with Mr.. Bowie, helped him to get some
corn out of his crib near the murdered man 8
home and made arrangements to go and work
for him the next day.
THE MURDER.
BARRIERS story, the police say, is that he
struck Mr. Bowie with a stone as he was sitting
on his horse. after coming through the gate
by the walnut tree. and Pinkney finished the
job by hitting him with the locust stick, max
ing the horrible wound in his throat. After
this they dragged the body to the ravIne and
Barber went to the home Of Mr.. Hill to do the
milking. as was his custom. He and Pinkney
returned at O'Clock that night, wrapped up
the body in a sack and started to carry it to
well. which has not been used for years, on
the farm of Mr.. Benz. II. e. Bowie
Pinkney first took up the body and carried
it on his back until he became SO nauseated
that he had to stop. Then Barber took up the
body, but refused to carry it to the place for
which they first started as it was about a mile
from the scene of the murder. They then
threw the body in the well on the farm of Mr..
Chas. Bowie, which was about half the dis
lance.
They had planned to murder Mr.. Bowie some
time before. One plot was to waylay him on
the road, cut loose his horse. break up the
buggy and leave the occupant lying beside it.
so that it might appear that he was killed ac-
cidentally.
Another plan was to go to his stable late at
night ard make such a noise that Mr.. Bowie
would come down to what was the matter,
when they would kill him and carry his body to
the well on Mr.. Benjamin Bowie's farm.
Barber seems perfectly inherent to his fate.
and declares that he does not care to live, and
if they going to hang him he wishes they
would do it as soon as possible.
The case will not come up this week. as it is
reported that there are others who are impli-
Gated in the crime.
