THE ANTITRUST MOVE.
Proposed Constitutional Amendment
before the House.

When the House convened at noon and
the morning routine business had been dis
posed of, Mr.. Dalzen, from the Committee
on Rules. presented the report making the
joint resolution proposing an antitrust
amendment to the Constitution the special
order in the House directly after the adop-
ton of the report; that debate shall contin-
ue today, at a session tonight, and tonor-
row, the vote on TIE final passage TO be
taken at ; p. m tomorrow; after the dis
position Of the resolution, the bill 20
amend an act entitled IAN act to protect
trade and commerce against unlawful
restraints and mOnopolies," approved July
2. 1880, to be taken up and voted on at I
p. IA, Saturday.
Mr. Dalzeu took the floor TO explain and
support the rule. and was followed oy Mr.
Richardson in opposition.
Mr. Richardson called attention to the
length Of time which the Republican party
had been in possession Of the executive
and legislative branches Of the Govern
ment He reviewed in brief the legislative
history Of the present Administration, and
said that now, in the dying hours OF the
session, they sought to recoup some OF the
political advantages relinquished by them
in their uRWise and selfish Administration
amendment would break down the power
OF the States 10 deal with trusts within
their limits.
For that reason Mr.. Richardson said he
had solemnly determined 70 oppose the
pending resolution. and be hoped that
every Democrat who loved the COnstitG-
tiOn would help 70 vote down the resolu-
tion presented by the majority Of the Ju-
dietary Committee. Strong Democratic
applause rewarded this appeal OF Mr.
Richardson.
Mr.. Grosyenor followed Mr. Richardson
He said that he felt that the necessity for
the constitutional amendment proposed
was pressing The majority OF the House
was responsible for all that was contained
in the resolution and the minority could
take its choice OF voting for IL or against
it.
Mr.. Bailey Of Texas next addressed the
House He said that by common consent
Mr.. Grosvenor was considered cne OF the
most skilIfuI partisan debaters On the
floor, and when he failed TO set forth any
valid reason why the resolution should be
adopted, he (Mr Bailey took IL for grant
ed that a valid reason did not exist.
The people would understand that the
resolution was a mere play fO- partisan ad-
vantage. He charged that the Republicans
had no real intention OF making tne at
tempt 10 dissolve the trusts. Congress had
been in session fer six months and not
until six days before adjournment did thes
propose anything against trusts They
knew that the resolution could not be
passed by the Senate al this session II
was framed so that tyO-thirds OF the states
would not accept it. No State which be-
Ueved in the principles Of self-goyernment
would turr over its right 10 control trusts
within its borders g. the General Govern
uent. The resolut on contained no men
ace 70 any trust

SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.-Rev. F. NJ.
Royal, a Baptist missionary, who ar
rived from China today on the steamer
Gaelic, has for the past seven years
been Stationed IN the north OF China, where
the revolution!sts known as the Boxers
are at present creating so much trouble
Rev. Mr.. Royal expressed surprise upon
landing to learn that the Boxers had made
such progress. and that the foreign na-
tions were taking steps 10 protect their
citizens in China
1T is the hope Of ali missionaries and
foreign residents generally" said Rev.
Mr.. Royal, that the civilized powers

themselves. II would not only be So

MongoIian race from a missionary stand

masses are helpless. as all officials are
appointed by the Emperor. No progress
will ever be made in China until the civ
ilized nations take a hsnd in its affairs.
i am glad that there is a prospect that
the Powers will soon puI = stop to the out
RACES committed by the Boxers These
revolutionists are altogether in the north
OF China, and are a superior class physi .
cally. the Boxers being so-called from the
fact that they are athletic and proud Of
their physical prowess.
They have no very ia1 habits. smoking
neither tobacco nor opium, but their at
Etude toward foreigneI. apd the Gov
ernmsnt at Pekin makes the Boxers 8 very
undesirable class, nevertheless.
Personally never Lad any trouble in
China, but other miss ionaries have been
in desperate straits now and then. I Will
hail the day when civilized nations take
a hand in China"
Rev. Mr.. Royal is accompanied by his
wife and little daughter. He is from
North Carolina, and his wife. VINO went
10 China six years ago as a missionary
is from South Carolina. She was a Miss
Mary Sullivan. They became acquainted
in China, and she gave up her work as a
missionary TO become the wife of Mr..
Royal and to assist him in his field They
are on their way home on visit, Ppd ex-
peet to return TO China after a few
months.

Mr.. Jores Of Arkansas today in TIE Sen
ate demanded an investigation fl-5 the
disposa by the President OF the $50, ,5O0. .OO9
voted him by Congress at the outbreak OF
the war with Spain. He stated that he rad
heard Of extended bOodling and misuse Of
funds and asked that the President at once
forward a detailed report to the Senate.
He cited the Hazel case as an incident and
spoke Of other cases Of Republican pull
having gotten some Of the money.
He charged Commissioner General Peck
with misuse Of funds for the Paris Exposi-
tion, and stated that over 100000 were
missing. He asked for an Investigation in
this matter
Il want to find out what the President
did with the $4,000, 900 placed in his hands
by Congress at the outbreak Of the wal, %
said Mr.. Jones, during the consideration Of
the Sundry Civil bill. II want 70 know
how he spent this and 70 whom be gave
II. have heard all kinds Of stories Of
DOodling and extravaganza IN this matter
and l want a full and complete accounting.
i have heard that the War Department
says go TO the State Department when
hgures are asked for in this matter. and
the State Department says go 70 the Navy
Department Now, the President ought
not TO be afraid TO tell US what he dill with
the $5O.OO0O00. II there has been bood-
ling, his report will show. Let him send
US detailed account Of expenditures show
ing 70 what use the cash was put.
AS an instance, the Hazel case viii
show that there is need Of an investiga-
tion. especially when a Republican with q
pull can sell yachts at a big commission.
Hazel sold yacht valued al 81. 900 for
$50, 600, and the Government later listed
the yacht at $25, ,0O0."
Who was responsible for the purchase
OF this yacht?" asked Ar. Tillman.
The Navy Department, suppose, said
Mr. Jones. but the funds came out Of the
$50.0000o0. Why, I have been told by a
man in this city that he had engineered
deal with the Navy Department where BY
he used his pull with the Administration
10 sell three old barges TO the Government
al the price OF ocean liners. This deal
came out Of the $50. GOO. 600. too"
Mr. Jones then stated that he would
