WASHINGTON, Feb. B.-Neither at the
state department. nor at the navy depart
ment., has there come any word from Chi
ma III confirmation OF the reported cap
ture by Chinese mob OF some OF the OIL
cers OF tho United States steamship Con-
cord,' who accidentally killed native
while on shooting expedition. This lack
Of an official report has strengthened the
holiefof officials that the story was either
without foundation or else much exagger-
ated the facts.
Had the matter been at all serious, the
commanding officer Of the Concord would
have boeE obliged by the naval regula-
tions 10 report the event Immediately to
his superior officer, Admiral Carpenter,
who in turn would have reported y 20 the
navy department, or, II tho admiral was
not within easy communication, itwould
have been the duty Of Captain Craig 70
have'reported directly to the navy depart
ment
So far as is known there is no Interrupt
tion IN the cable and telegraph service TO
Chin Kiang where the event is placed. i
Is not thought that Commander Craig
would incur the risk Of o reprimapd from
the seoretary Of the navy by failing TO re

at Chin Kiapg, Mr. Alex Jones, allow thi

The Question of DISCRIMINATING the Honae
OF Lords Bobs UP.
IoNnoN. Feb G. Tho fourth session OF
the thirteenth parliament Of Queen Vic
TORN opened in tho usual manner, and the
queen speech was read The document
contained nothing noteworthy Tho
Prince OF Wales and tho Duke Of York
were present
Tho Marquis Of Salisbury, in speech,
referred TO tho agitation against the house
OF lords and said that as tho Conservative
government was The only government
which ever proposed To reform the house
OF lords 1t could hardly lay In tho mouths
Of the government 70 reproAch the house
OF lords with not having adopted the re-
form. While the speaker held an opinion
on the subject OF tho modification Of the
constitution OF tho house Of lords when It
came to a question Of limiting tho power
Of that body, be thought they would find
that the country was quite opposed to IT,
II He could undarstanC the people wanting
to reform the house OF lords or TO sweep Il
away; but IN his opinion, the proposal
| TO keep tho house in existence as sham
IS ridiculous. IL would be contemplate
for their lordships to accept 1t and perni-
Icious thing for any government to under
take.
Tho speaker admitted that before the
proposal could be cnrriod there would be
an appeal 90 the country, but that appeal,
he commended ought to have been made
on the rejection Of tho home rule bill in
stead OF now, which would multiply the
matters TO be decided and confuse the dc.
olsion which the country would have tc
give.
Lord Rosobery, the premier, replying t
the Marquis of Salisbury, said that th'
government was able TO act IN tho Arme
: nian matter with the cordial aoquiescenc'
, OF France. Russia and Italy. Continuing
ho said that events would show that thes
powers were able TO watch the inquiry o
tho Turkish commission and ascertain th
. . truth. II the inquiry into the allegation
made shows them to DO true then ~ woul'
not be possible 20 leave the Armenial
Y / Christians IN their present condition. O
? they would be snbieot TO reprisals, IN
2 their state would be worse than before.
! Referring to tho complaint Of Lord Sal
, isbury that the question of the house {
lords was not referred Go IN tho queen
speech, Lord Rosebery adhered TO what b
. had already said--that the relations b.
6 tween the two houses werc grave dangC
u for the futuro OF the country, and the
2 in the opinion Of tho government the COZ
q stitutiona method Of dealing with II
y situation was by a resolution, which
le was not necessary nor expedient TO intr
dnce Immediately as Il must almost nece

THAT new BOND ISSUE
London Bankers Negotiating
For the Entire Amount.
MR.. REEDS BILL IS INTRODUCED,

Debate ON the Administrations Financial
Bin Begins In the House Under the Five
Minute Rule Today Senators Almoat
Come TO Fisticuns on the Floor.
wAsHINGroY. Feb 6.-There is much.
doubt today about tho proposed bond issue
A good deal Of speculation is being in
dulged in.
At the White House the cabinet was
In session for several hours. 10 is under
stood that almost the only subject Of dis
cussion was the pending bond issue. Sey.
eral prominent New York bankers are
hero, among them Mr.. J. Pierpont Nor
gan, and whilo they have not seen either
the president or Mr. Carlisle It Is under
stood that their views on the situation
were conveyed TO the president
No authoritative statement OF the char
acter OF the cabinet discussion can bo
made but 1t is believed that no final ac-
tion has been determined upon. II IS un.
derstood that negotiations with represent
atives Of London bankers are now in prog
ress, with indications Of an early consum-
nation.
There is no longer any expectation OF a
popular loan to be placed In this country,
ns In that event the experience Of the last
few months would be repeated and the
gold reserve again depleted. The purpose
OF the administration is, it is understood,
to place tho entire issue of bonds with
London bankers, who would pay for them
with London gold, thus avoiding, foi
I the present at least, the necessity for pay
ing out gold in exchange for legal ten
ders While no definite conclusion La'
been reached 1t is believed that the an
nouncement Of the sale of the bonds will
| be made at an early day.

WASHINGTON Feb. 6.--The senate ses-
sion opened with very breezy personal
altercation between Mr.. Mitchell of Ore
gon and Mr. Harris OF Tennessee.
The words "ungentlemanly and con
temptiblen were exchanged, and for
time 1t looked as though the senate cham
bor might witness repetition Of the bel
ligerent scene IN the house last week.
But the conflict assumed somewhat
serio comic aspect, and the senate soon re-
lapsed into an uneventful consideration OF
routine business The District OF Column
bia appropriation bill WAS passed after
having been before tho senate more than
q week, and the discussion OF the diplo.
matic and consular bill was begun.
The senate modified its former action
on the japanese treaty TO the extent OF
inserting provision which will render 1t
impossible to abrogate the treaty before II
goes into effect
In the absence OF Senator Morgan, Sem
Rtor Frye moved reconsideration Of rati-
fcation, and then moved that the word
thereafter" should be inserted in place
of the words stricken out This word
comes after the date 1899, when the treaty
takes effect and the entire clause reads
that either nation shall have the right on
one years notice after that date to abro-
gate the convention. There was no oppo-
sition on tho part OF any senator to the
change. and nothing was said beyond the
brief comment by several senators that
they had never desired tho treaty should
sbe nullihel before II shoafd beooind effect
