fsnecial 10 The PostA

Washington, July S1.-Officials here are
now convinced that Minister Conger ana
his associates in Pekin are alive. There
is also renewed confidence In the authen-
dioity of the Conger dispatch of July is
in reply to Secretary Hay transmitted
through Chinese officials. There is today
q general feeling OF relief and hopefulness
tba. has not previously been manifested
Belief in the safety OF the legatloners is
based on the dispatch from Admiral
Remey confirming the advices furnished
yesterday by Consul Fowler and unofn-
cial advices that letter has been re-
ceived in Tien Tsin by Major Waller,
the American marines. This
letter is expected to reach the navy de-
partmenS tonight. The latest message
from Conger, said to have been sent to
lien Tsin, says that firing ceased on The
18th by agreement. This message, if au-
thentic, makes clear that the message 10
Secretary Hay through the Chinese minis
ter was of earlier date than July IS.
The emphatic statement is made that
none OF the encouraging advioes nave in
amy way changed the military situation.
The utmost expedition will be used In
Fastening troops to China and urging an
advance on Pekln. The belief that Conger
is alive has only added to the desire to
afford prompt relief The paramount aim
of this government still is to obtain free
and full communication with Minister
Conger and to ascertain from him the
exact situation In this direction no
progress is being made.
1t is matter of comment that this is
the eighth day since the presidents reply
to the Chinese emperor's appeal for me-
diation and no response has been received
rhe officials are anxious to have the en-
oerors reply. as 1T will throw some light
on the establishment of direct COM
munication with the American minister,
which was demanded as the first REQUESTS
to mediation and also indicate the atti-
tude OF China toward other powers. state
deputy officials do not credit the reported
declaration of war by China on June 10.
The return of Ii Hung Chang to Canton
IS construed to mean that he will take
no further part in the controversy be-
tween his government and the powers.
The forward movement towards Pekin
may have begun today It is estimated
that the allied force is now from $4,000
to $4,000 strong.

PROGRESS ON THE HAWAIIAN BILL
MR.. KINNEY ADVOCATES IN
DEPENDENCE FOR
[BY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNE.l
FILIPINOS.

Washington Feb ao-Materiai progress was made
to-day in the Senate with the Hawaiian Territorial
Government bill. General discussion has apparently
exhausted itself and the attention of the Senate will
be confined from this point to perfecting the
smaller details OF the measure Some comment
made this afternoon by Mr. Spooner the section
OF the bill which makes the Supreme Court OF the
Territory the sole and final Judge OF contests
for in either branch OF the Legislature. This
is decided departure from the common American
practice. But 1t warmly defended by Senator
Morgan not only because II re-enacted a provision
In the Constitution of the Hawaiian Republic, but
because it obviated the many vioences done to law
and justice by partisan decisions of American egis
lative majorities II Kentucky, Mr. Morgan argued
had a clause in her Constitution empowering the
State Supreme Court to act final arbiter In all
disputed election the civil strife OF the last
six weeks in that Commonwealth would have been
easily avoided In this respect the Hawaiian Con-
stitution could wisely be adopted model by any
Of the States Territories OF the United States
To Section 10 OF the bill providing for the
tinuation Of existing contracts Mr. Nelson offered
an amendment excepting from such protection
tracts for labor entered into since August r. 1898
Mr. Culom accepted the amendment and it
agreed to.
An amendment offered by Mr.. Vest providing
that no bonds should be issued Indebtedness in
CURED without the approval OF the President OF
the United States was agreed to-
long discussion ensued proposed amend
ment TO extend TO Hawaii the inhibition against
contract labor importation Which exists in the
United States. All Senators anxious to frame
the law to eliminate absolutely contract labor
in Hawaii. To this end the section relating to con-
tracts amended finally by the addition of the
following paragraph framed by Mr.. Hoar and per-
fected by Mr.. Spooner:
Provided That no proceeding shall be maintained
for the specific performance of any contract hereto
fore or hereafter entered into for personal labor
service, and there shall be no criminal pro-
ceedng for the breach thereof.
Mr.. Spooner offered amendment striking out
the section providing that the Supreme Court OF the
Territory should be the judge of the election of
members of the Hawaiian Legislature and
ferring on each branch of the Legislature the
power TO determine the quaicatio of it's MEM
bers. After some discussion it adopted.
Discussion of the Philippine question
sumed for a time, Mr. Kenney, of Delaware, speak
ing against the retention by the United States of
the islands and urging that the right TO govern
themselves be given to the Filipnos.
Fffty-two pension bills and q number Of minor
bills on the general calendar were passed.
