Advocates of the Chinese Treaty,

WASHINGTON. May S.-The failure of

fact that the tariff managers declined to
yield more time for the discussion of this
subject.
cit is of course desirable" said Mr.. Har
ris, THAT the treaty should be disposed of,
but the tariff question is of paramount
Importance, and do not feel disposed to
grant more time to the treaty until we get
along with the tariff"
TIE opponents of the treaty say they
see In the postponement of further con-
sideraton evidence of weakness on the
part of its supporters. When the Senate
adjourned yesterday Senator Perkins was
in the midst of his speech in opposition to
the treaty. He had spoken for an hour.
and had dealt only with the moral and
social features of Chinese immigration.
He will probably at the next opportunity
discuss the commercial phase Of the rela-
tions of this country with China as af-

The Story Is Denied, but the Coun.

Revolt.

PARIS, May S.-A telegram from Buenos
Ayres received here tonight announces
that the position of the Government is
favorable and the payment of the coupon
debt is assured.
LONDON, May 8.-The Argentine Con-
sul-General informed the Associated Press
to-day that he learned from an outside
but trustworthy source that a revolution
had broken out at Buenos Ayres. The
Argentine legation had heard nothing.
Press and commercial kilograms are ar
irving to-day from Buenos Ayres as usual
and they make no mention Of a revolution
having broken out at the capital. A dis
patch filed at P. NJ. at Buenos Ayres
makes no reference to the outbreak.
The correspondent of the Times at
Buenos Ayres telegraphs that Journal as
follows: 1.-The present situation here
verifes my telegram sent at the end of
March. During the past ten days bus-
ness failures have occurred involving lia-
biiities to the aggregate Of nearly $40,
100000 The commercial community ex-
poets further failures"
WASHINGTON, May 8.-The rumor of
rebellion in Buenos Ayres was received
with some surprise by Senor Zeballos,
the Argentine Minister. There had been
excitement growing out of the election
last March of a governor of Buenos Ayres.
in which the Radicals were defeated by a
coalition Of the other two parties, but The
Minister does not believe the defeated
party, even il so disposed. could muster
force enough for revolution. Both the
army and Dayy. he saws are fhGrnuphly
loyal to the existing Government As late
as Monday morning Senor Zeballos re-
ceived dispatches from his Government
announcing all was quiet in Argentine.
The interests of the United States will
be cared for in any emergency that may
arise by the United States cruiser New

PARIS, May S.-The socialist extreme

this afternoon on the question nf the prose-
cution of M. Toussaint, the Deputy who
interfered in the strike OF the workmen
employed at the Trignac Iron Works by
melting the men 10 continue the strike. and
who is also accused of insulting the author
tiles. The committee of the Chamber,
which had been considering the question
prosecuting NJ. Toussaint, reported this
afternoon against the proposed prosecu-
tion, on the ground of the immunity of
the members of the Chamber. Premier
prosecution. claiming that public opinion
demanded it and adding that the Chamber
would encourage agitation and disorder if
it supported the committee.
The affair was really socialist attack
upon repu blicanism. NJ MIllerand, speak
ing for the socialist members, said that the
prosecution should be abandoned, but
when the matter was put to a vote the
Deputies supported the Government by a
vote of 491 to %. and consequently the
Government will prosecute Nj. Toussaint
After the vote had been taken the social
istic members of the Chamber met and de-
cideG to issue a manifesto. This protests
against the prosecution of Toussant and
declares that the Governments violent
intimidation will not make us finch or
neglect our duty. We will send members
of our party wherever the proIetariat
needs our services to battle against capital
