anything themselves. on their return

in Kenncbec county, and he at once de-

posroFFICE BILL GOES TO PRESIDENT
House Puts Armor Plate Factory Question in
Hands of Secretary of Navy.
(By Associated Press.)


Washington May 29.-The House to-
day by a vote of 107 to 124 refused to

val Appropriation Bill relating to armor
plate and adopted modified proposition
leaving the price of armor plate to the
Secretary of the Navy with power, in
his discretion, to erect an armor plate
factory if he cannot purchase armor at
a reasonable price. The text of the pro-
position is as follows:
THAT the Secretary of the Navy is
hereby authorized to procure by contract
armor of the best quality for any or all
vessels above referred to, provided such
contracts can be made at price which,
in his judgment, is reasonable and equi-
table: but in case he is unable to make
contracts for armor under the above con-
ditions. he is hereby authorized, in his
discretion to procure site for and to
erect thereon a factory for the manufac-
ture of armor and the sum of $4,0O0,O00
is hereby appropriated toward the cree
ton of said factory
With regard to ocean and lake surveys
the House refused any appropriation for
surveys by the navy and tied up the con-
ferees with instructions. 1t also refused
to concur in the Senate amendment TO
abolish the two years sea cruise Tor ma
val cadets. With the above action the
Naval Bill was sent back to conference,

hopelessly outnumbered. Several hundred

HOUSE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.
Discussion of the War Taxes and the Trust
Question.
(By Associated Press.)


WASHINGTON, Nav 29.-lThe Democratic
members of the House of Representatives
held caucus in the hall of the House
tonight to consider the trust question.
which is to be brought before the House
during the next three days, and other
subjects of legislative and party interest.
Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, offered
the following resolution expressive of
the party's attitude:
Whereas. there is known to be a
large and growing surplus in the Treas
ury over and above the necessities of the
Government arising from the taxes lev
led and collected under the war tax act
of 1898, therefore,
Resolved, that we favor the reduction
of the taxes provided for in said act and
we do not think the present session of
Congress should adjourn until said taxes
shall have been repealed as to certain
articles and reduced as to others, until
there is a total reduction in the aggre-
gate of at least so per centum.
The Richardson resolution was adopt
ed without division.
The trust question was then taken up.

bill as reported. 1t was adopted with
minor amendments.
The resolution further urges Demo-
Gratis to vote against the constitutional
amendment unless it be so amended as to
leave the States unhampered in enacting

American interests.
(By Associated Press.)

Washington, May 29.-Such advices as
have reached here indicate that the situa-
ton in China has assumed very critical
phase, and one calculated to tax the en-
The State Department has been in close
communication with Mr.. Conger, our
Minister at Pekin, and the Navy Depart
nent is doing it's share, having placed
the flagship Newark as far up the Pei Ho
River as the Taku forts, which is the
nearest point to Pekin that the ship can
reach. The operations of the boxers"
are increasing in magnitude. Their dem
onstrations are no longer local, and they
appear to be governed in their move
ments by some we'll settled design. They
have murdered nine Methodist mission
aries in one province, at the town of
Pachow and have closed in on Pekin
Meanwhile the Chinese army is suspect
ed of disloyalty, this belief being
strengthened by Wholesale assertions of
the soldiers to the boxers
Minister Conger has appealed to the
State Department for the protection Of
marine guard for his legation. The de-
partment has promptly cabled him an
authorization to call upon the nearest
United States naval vessels for assistance
1t is not known whether he has availed
himself of the permission.
The embarrassing feature of the situa-
tion is the cutting of the communicate
by rail between Taku and Tien Tsin and
the capitol, for the boxers" have burned
the railroad bridges and there are prob
ably only two courses open to the ma
rines who wish to reach Pekin; long
overland march through hostile coun-
try away from supports, or tedious
voyage up the swift and shallow Pei Ho
in shore boats in tow of steam launches.
According to report the Chinese Gov
eminent has done everything in it's pow
er to meet the demands of the diplomatic
body at Pekin for the dispersion of the
BOXERS but it appears that the upris-
ing is far more serious than was at first
apprehended, and even the resident min
listers at Pek:n are inclined to admit
that the task is not an easy one for the
Chinese Government.
SO far all of the measures taken by the
State Department look to the simple
protection of the American legation at
Pekin, the American consulates in the
vicinity, and the lives of such Americans
as may be obliged to take refuge therein,
in the event Of general rioting. The
State Department is closely adhering to
the practice it has always observed Of
interference in these Chinese dis
turbances, ard it is not contemplated
that our naval forces shall take any part
in the contest between the Chinese Gov
eminent and the boxers though it is
assumed that Rear Admiral Remey, the
commander chief of the Asiatic sta
tion will take immediate steps to supply
Rear Admiral Kempff, the senior squad
ron commander with such naval force as
he may need for safe guarding American
interests at the treaty ports.
