To XIII All Foreigners.

San Francisco, Feb. EN- the sto-
ries of the murders of missionaries and
foreign residents recently in China, de-
tails of particularly barbarous affair
at Chongan Chang, involving the life
of an Englishman named Fleming, and
Evangelist Pan, have been wanting.
]. R. Adams. of the Chinese inland
mission, visited the scene of the mur-
ders, and tells Of shocking condition
of affairs, in the North China Daily
News. He'ascertained that the people
of Chongan had determined to take the
life of every foreigner in the place, and
when Mr.. Fleming set foot in the town
he was a doomed man. At least 200
people witnessed the murder from the
opposite side of the river. Evangelist
Pan was suddenly and quickly cut
down. Mr.. Fleming dismounted from
his mule to go to his assistance, but
he, too, was attacked and slain after
desperate conflict.

Opposition to Test Vote.

Washington, Feb. 6.-The contro-
versy in the senate over the vote upon
the various resolutions interpretative
of the peace treaty took an acute turn
late today. The opposition to vote
first came from the friends of the
treaty, who held to the theory that it
could be ratified without mpromise.
Those who apparently were then will
ing that vote should be taken today
held an opposite view, and absolutely
refuse to agree to time for taking a
vote.
The contest occurred in the execu-
tive session, which did not occur until
quarter after 5 o'clock. The next
hour and quater was spent in a vain
endeaEor on one side to get an agree
mens to a date for vote upon the
resolutions, and on the other in a more
successful effort to bring the days ses-
sion to close without allowing any
thing to be accomplished in that di-
rection.
After general debate on the subject
the senate adjourned.

Majority of Three. @
ADOPTED WITHOUT AMENDMENT
Effect of the Outbreak in the Philip.
Pines Made Apparent Befors
Vote Was Taken.

Washington, Feb. 8.-Betore the
senate convened today the leaders on
both sides manifested great anxiety.
and all seemed to be very much in
doubt as to the final result, ratification
or rejection seeming to depend upon
several doubtful votes. 1t was known
Saturday that the treaty could muster
but So votes. Leaders of the opposi-
tion to the treaty were standing as firm
as ever.
After the senate went into executive
session it was reported that McLaurin
and McEnely had come over for the
treaty. giving the necessary two-thirds.
AT the conclusion of the discussion
on the subject, Davis moved an execu-
tive session, and at 2:15 P. M. the sen.
alto went into executive session for final
consideration of the peace treaty.
McEneIy offered a resolution declar-
ing that by ratification of the treaty it
is not intended to make citizens of the
inhabitants of the Philippines nor to
annex the islands permanently, but to
hold them until the islands are pre-
pared for self-government.
At-S:05 the bells rung for vote on
the amendment to the treaty. The
amendment was to make the Philippine
article Of the treaty like that relating
to Cuba. The amendment was defeat
ed, and the vote was then taken on the
treaty. The vote in detail follows:

troll, leaving to the Americans, how
ever, the control of the headwaters of
the Lynn canal. by which both OF
these supply towns are reached.

Resolution Adopted by the Lower
House of Congress.

House of Congress.
Washington, Feb. 6.-In the senate
the president pro tempore presented a
memorial from the Chamber of Com
merce of New York, urging ratification
of tho peace treaty. Hale, chairman
of the naval affairs committee, favora-
bly, reported the following joint resolu-
tion, and it was adopted:
''The secretary of the navy is hereby
authorized to have erected in Colon
cemetery at Havana, Cuba, a suitable
granite monument to the memory of
the sailors and marines who lost their
lives by the destruction of the Maine,
and whose remains are buried in that
cemetery, and to suitably inscribe and
enclose such monument, and the sum
of SO, 600 is appropriated for that pur-
pose."
Harris offered the following resolu-
tion, which he asked might lie on the
table:
''That the United States hereby dis
claims any intention or purpose to ex-
ercise permanent sovereignty, jurisdic-
tion or control over the Philippines
and assert their determination when a
stable and independent government
shall have been erected therein, en-
titled to recognition as such, to trans
fer to such government upon terms
which shall be reasonable and just all
rights secured under the cession by
Spain, and to therupon leave the gov
ernment and control of the islands to
their people"
In accordance with previous notice,
Money began the discussion of expan-
sion, speaking in opposition to taking
the Philippines. Money concluded at
2 O'Clock, and Daniel then addressed
the senate on the same subject.
