FILIPINOs PLAN ANARCHY.

Conspiracy to Throw Bombs at Law
ton Funeral Procession.
dispatch from Manila last evening says:
Four explosive bombs. few firearms and
500 rounds Of ammunition were discovered
in q house in the center of Manila this
morning while the police were seeking Re-
carte. the insurgent leader, who was said
to have come to Manila in the hope Of eff
fecting an outbreak by taking advantage
of the mobilization of the American troops
at Gen. Lawton's funeral.
Today it developed that the plot included
the throwing Of bombs among the foreign
consuls attending the ceremony, in order to
bring about International complications.
These, it seems, were to have been thrown
from the Escoltas high buildings, but the
avoidance of the Escolta by the funeral
procession spoiled the plan. The populace,
1t Is thought, had been prepared for the at
tempt by a rumor circulated widely among
the natives yesterday that Aguinaldo was
IN Manila, and would personally lead the
outbreak. The American authorities, hav-
Ing been advised of what was brewing, pre-
pared for all contingencies.
Capt Morrison, who commands the troops
in the most turbulent district of the city,
says he does not believe an actual uprising
will ever occur as the natives lack the
resolution to take the first steps in a move
ment that would entail fighting at close
quarters with the American troops

THE PROGRAM IN THE SENATE.
May Re More Debnte on Quay Than au
the Money Bill.

The Senate will begin the real work OF
the session Wedne Slay. After the present
week longer daily sessions will be the rule
and very few more adjournments from
Thursday TO Monday are to be expected as
was characteristic Of the sessions Of the
first week of Congress
In the absence of Senator Aldrich. char
man Of the committee Oh finance. who Will
have charge Of the financial hill. no definite
statement can be made as to how vigorous
" he will press that measure at the begin
ming Of business, but there is TO doubt nj
his gtneral determination to push il along
as rapidly as possible after the present
week. He has given notice that he will
call the measure up Thursday. and ii is
generally believed that he will then or on
the following day make a statement in sup
port of IL.
1t is the purpose Of the supporters Of the
bill to make very few speeches, leaving the
opposition to do the greater share OF the
talking.
Those senators who are antagonlstic TO
the bill rule freely confess their in
ability to defeat il. saying that ii VIII get
practically the entire republican vote II
needed and probably one or two democratic
votes.
AT present there is but one matter which
threatens to interfere with the continuity
of the proceeding upon the financial bill.
That is the right of Senator Quay to seat
in the Senate. Senator Chandler, chairman
Of the committee on privileges and cleo
tiops. has stated that a report will be made
in the Quay case soon after the beginning
of business. Ii now seems probable that
there will be more debate over the Quay
contest than over the financial measure.
1t will be difficult to hold The discussion
of foreign questions, and especially the
Philippine subject. in check during the
financial discussion. Many of the southern
senators are anxious TO bring the Philip
pine question to the front, and il may be
safely predicted that there will be more or
less reference 10 II from the beginning
There will be an carly effort to get mp The
Samoan treaty. and 1t may furnish basis
for discussion of the foreign policy if one
is rot found before the treaty is considered.

FOREIGN CONCESSIONS AT SHANGHAI
Diplomatic Controversy Brought TO n
Cancellation.

The approval of the extension Of ;h,, for
egn concessions at Shanghai China brings
To a close diplomatic controversy between
Great Britain. the United States and
France, which has at times become rather
acute. France took the position at one
sage OF the negotiations that the Arneri-
can cooperation with the British in oppos-
ing the French plan of extension was an
uEfriendIy act toward France That and
oh"r differences. have been happily adj
justed, however, according to announce
m"nts from China.
The controversy assumed an iptorua;iou-
al scope when the three colonies at ShanE-
hai-Brtish. French and Amerlcan-sought
10 extend their limits. The concessions are
just outside of the old native city and lie,
along the Whang Poo. near the point where
1t joins the Sang-tseKiang They are
chiefly important because Shanghai is th,,
foremost port of entry for foreign trade in
the Chinese empire. The French settlement
is nearest the city aud fronts on the river
NcNl comes the British settlement and
then the American. The French desire was
TO extend their settlement SO TO take I'm
large area back OF the old city, including
I'VE American missionary institutions The
british government opposed this extension
quite vigorously. The British plan of eN-
Il nsion was for an international settle
ment, running from the rear of the Brit
ish concession up to the native CITY France
in turn protested against this on the ground
that she would be entirely surrounded
without exit, except 10y the river the ma
tive city. or over British territory The
United States approved the plan Of an in
ternational settlement as the American in
terests were substantially similar To those
O: the British, but the American attitude
did not include an Endorsement of all the
contentious made by the British Ii was to
this course of the American government that
France took exception. on the ground that
ii was an unfriendly act TO France. The
negotiations, while assuming no outward
show of warmth, were carried on with some
briskneSs, Ambassador Cambon of France
presenting the French side up To a few
months ago.
The adjustment finally reached is salts
factory to all parties concerned The
French concession is extended, without in
GLIDING the American missions. The Brit
ish and American settlements are extended
and 10 some extent merged in the interna-
uonal settlement, but the British American
extension does not so envelop the French
colony as 20 place il in a pocket.
The value Of these several concessions is
considerable. as the population Of Shanghai
is about 6oo0@, of which the gltalcr part
is in the foreign settlement. Herr the for
eigners have the right to carry on trade
and control property. AMI also have thew
own courts, police. and an organized mill
tary establishment.

OBJECTIONS TO TARIFF TREATY.
French Agricultural interests Op-
posed to Its Provisions.

A Paris dispatch Of yesterday says: A
stiff campaign against the Franco-Ameri-
can commercial treaty is about to be opened
by the parliamentary opposition to the gov
ernment and by the agriculturists. Despite
the favorable report of the customs COM
mittee, hostile current has become mani
fest among the deputies who represent the
agricultural constituencies, as well as those
who sit for certain Industrial centers,
against several clauses of the treaty.
A majority of the agricultural assocta-
tons have protested against granting the
United States the minimum tariff, while
manufacturers of farming implements,
cycles. machine woods are deeply disturbed
over the advantages accorded to their
American competitors by the treaty. This
Anxiety is shared by the oil seed industry.
