now massing outside Of Pekin and their
numbers are reported to be constantly
augmenting. Fresh contingents of
armed malcontents are coming up 81
most hourly from the north. The i'm
perial troops sent to dispense the rebels
found themselves hopelessly outnun-
bered. Several hundreds were killed
and two guns and many rifles were
captured, after which the most of the
remaining troops went over to the reb-
els. They are now marching side by
side.
1t is believed the Boxers have the
sympathy of the entire Manchu army
in the anti-foreign crusade, and there
is no doubt they have the countenance
of the Empress Dowsger and of Prince
Ching. The Belgian minister escorted
by strong bodyguard has gone to OBJ
tain an audience of the Tsung Ii va
men, number of his countrymen with
their families, having beep cut off by
the rebels at Chang Hsin Tien.
LONDON, May 1.-Despatches from
Pekin report that the Boxers have
been overawed and driven away by
Chinese troops and for the moment
the situation is better. There is q
strong suspicion in diplomatic circles
that this rose colored report emanated
from the Chinese government and is
intended to delay the march to Pekin.
Foreign troops have been landed at
Taku. The request from a Russian
commander for permission to move his
forces past Taku forts has been denied
by the Chinese government which is
using every subterfuge to stay the ad-
vance of foreign troops. Latest ad-
vices show they have thus far sue
ceeded.

Starting in with an exceedingly hot

day entered upon the consideration of
the resolution reported from the Judi
clary committee proposing q constitu-
tional amendment to "lodge in Con-

night session tonight was devoted to
debate and Friday at five O'Clock the
vote is to be taken without opportunity
to amend. Saturday is to be devoted
to the bill to amend the Sherman anti
trust law. The Democrats charged
that the proposed constitutional amend
ment was Objectionable in every way;
that it was mere political pretext,
that 1t was unnecessary and was pro-
posed at the end of the session for
election purposes in the coming cam.
paign. The Republicans repudiated
the charge Of bad faith.
