Pekin, March 25.-The foreign minis
ters seem utterly unable to agree as to
the best method of policing the legation
quarter. The proposition most favored
by the majority and most complained
OF by the minority is one providing that
men of the regular army shall be de-
tailed for service under one officer con-
nected with the allies Commissioner
Rockhill is one who objects to this plan,
as also is the British minister. Satow,
who says that tho International force is
desirable, 1t would be better that the
police detail should be composed OF sol-
s diers who are not liable to be called
away when they are most useful. 1t is
also undesirable, he thinks, that the
commandant should be an officer ac-
lively connected with any army, while
any intention to make each legation
practically an armed camp is a great
mistake and liable to cause friction. Ii
would be far better to make a general.

GENERAL GREENE TUMBLES.

Washington, March 1.-The dispute
between the inaugural committee and
the war veterans over the matter Of
precedence in the inaugural parade
resulted in compromise under which
the veterans will take part in the
cai emonies. At conference between
Secretary Root General Francis
Greene, grand marshal of the parade,
and General Daniel Il. ,Siclsles, it was
decided that the local and visiting
Grand Army veterans will form the
honorary escort to the president from
the White House to the capitol, today.
After the conference Secretary Root
sent the following to General Greene,
the grand marshal of the parade: 81
am instructed by the president to
request that Union veterans of civil
war should be assigned as bis personal
escort from the executive mansion to
the capitol building on the occasion of
the approaching inaugural
General Greene replied to Secretary
Roots letter as follows: Il have; the
honor to acknowledge the receipt of
your letter of this date, and to state
that it will give Inc great pleasure to
carry out the wishes of the president
in every respect.
General Daniel E. Sickles has re-
ceived the following from the secretary

FUN WITH SENATE.
House Passes Senate Buncombe Bin for
Fun.

Topeka, March The house brought
the senate to time in short order on
the woman suffrage question. The
senate spent two hours discussing the
bill to permit women to vote for presi-
: dental electors and finally passed it.
The galleries were packed with women
and SO was every available bit of space
on the floor of the senate. Several SEN
ators talked in favor of the bill because
they believed that the house would kill
it, But the house turned the tables
Word was sent to the senate that il the
bill came over to the house the revision
committee would stick it at the top of
the calendar and thus force its passage.
This threat did the work. The senate
reconsidered the vote by which the bill
was passed and, upon roll call, the bill
ONLY got fourteen votes The senators
who voted for the bill and then against
it were: Buschow, Crum, Fullington.
Fulton, Gabriel, Mcknight and Stew
art, Noftzger led the fight against the
bill and, assisted,by the threat of the
house he had no trouble in killing it,.
The women lobbyists, including Mrs.
Laura NJ. Johns. of Salina, and Miss
Helen Kimber, of Parsons, are greatly
chagrined.

Frank Nelson.s Pet Bill.

Topeka, March 4.-State Superin-
tendent Nelson's pet bill providing for
a 2-mill state tax levy for school pur-
poses was defeated in the senate almost
unanimously. The senators claimed
that they did not have time to give the
bill the consideration it deserved and
inasmuch as commission would soon
be appointed to revise the tax laws, it
would not be wise to tamper with the
present laws. For the same reason
the bill giving the counties the right
to compromise back taxes went down
to defeat. 90
