The only feature of the days session
was the speech on the Philippine
question by Mr.. Teller, of Colorado,
and the effort by Mr.. Petigrew, Of
South Dakota, to obtain consideration
for the antitrust bill passed by the
House last Saturday.
Tonight picturesque session was
held-a sort Of social session, at which
many of the Senators appeared in full
dress and the galleries were thronged
by a gaily attired party of spectators.
Mr.. Pettigrew replied at length to the
speech of Mr.. Spooner, of Wisconsin,
on the Philippines, but did not conclude
his remarks. The remainder of the ses-
sion was consumed in the consideration
of conference reports and in passing
minor measures on the calendar.

UNDOUBTEDLY PLAGUE.

the Death of a Chinese.

the Death of Chinese.
SAN FRANCISCO, une 4.-Health
Officer O'Brien and Bacteriologist KEEL
logg have reported that the disease of
a Chinese who died on Saturday after
one days illness was undoubtedly bu-
bonic plague. At the time of the aut-
opsy the body was already beginning
to turn black. Certain glands had been
removed from the body and it is said
by physicians engaged by the Chinese,
the health officer has been instructed
to quarantine the persons and labora-
tories of these doctors.
Temporary quarters will be estab-
lished on Angel Island sufficiently large
to accommodate 5000 Chinese. The
passing of street cars through China
town is stopped and all permits to pass
through the quarantine lines are to be
revoked
DR.. Kinyoun, the federal health Of
ficer, reports that three guina pigs in
oculated with plague virus are all
dead.
No new case of plague has been re-
ported.
The board Of health reported no de-
velopments in the plague situation dur
ing the morning. Quarantine lines
probably will be drawn tighter than
ever,

WASHINGTON, June 4.-The follow
ing cablegram has been received at
the State Department from United
States Minister Conger, at Pekin:
''PEKIN, June 4.
Outside of Pekin, the murders and
prosecutions by the boxers seem to
be on the increase. The Pao Ting Flu
railway is temporarily abandoned.
Work on the Pekin & Hangkow line
is stopped. All foreigners have fed.
The Chinese government seems either
unwilling or unable to suppress the
trouble. The troops show no energy in
attacking the boxers
(Signed.) "CoNGER."
Grave as these advices are, they have
not induced the State Department to
vary the line of action it has laid down.
The naval force of the United States
near Pekin now represented by one
vessel, the Newark, has not been
strengthened, but if occasion should
arise Admiral Kempff might be rein
forced to almost any extent likely to
be needed in the course of three or four
days, from the numerous American
fleet still at Manila and vicinity.
PEKIN, Sunday, June 3.-The most
alarming reports are constantly arriv-
ing from the country, especially from
Pao Ting Flu. The telegraph wires
from Pekin to Pao Ting Flu are cut
and all news comes via Tien Tsin
A serious crisis exists at the palace.
The ultra-conservative party advocates
not taking repressive measures, urging
the dowager empress to allow the
boxers" to finish the work of driving
the foreigners out of the country; the
moderate party, led by Prince Ching,
representing the serious danger of pro-
voking a conflict with the powers. 1t
is impossible to confirm or deny the
report, but significant indications of
the feeling of the government to-
wards foreigners are contained in the
attempt to arrest Lin, Chinese man
ager of the Peking syndicate; Kia,
chief of the Shan-S bu-
reau, and Fan, leading banker of
Shan-Si, on the ground that they were
dangerous characters" but, in reality,
because they are connected with new
British enterprises. Fortunately all of
them were absent and they have not
yet been arrested
The British minister, Sir Claude
Macdonald, has addressed note to
the Tsung Lii Yamen, demanding why
the arrests were ordered.
