(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. 2.-The general ex-
pectation among Senators is that the first
few days of the time of the Senate after
reconvening tomorrow will be devoted to
consideration of the Army Re-organiza-
tion Bill, but there is some disposition
to make an arrangement for a division of
time that will permit of the continued
consideration of the Ship Subsidy Bill dur
ing a part of each day
A meeting of the Committee on Mill
tary Affairs has been called for tomor-
row, when the matter of procedure prob
ably will be discussed and a decision
reached as to whether the committee shall
ask for all the time of the Senate until
its bill is disposed of or for only part of
it. All Senators, regardless of politics,
consider the army bill of pressing i'm
portance because of the fact that the time
for which the volunteer soldiers in the
Philippines were enlisted has almost eX-
pired. While comparatively few of the op-
position Senators will vote for that bill,
none of them appear willing to make any
objection to its early consideration.

London, Jan. 2.-The Pekin correspon-
dent of the Daily Mail, wiring January
1st says:
Russia by Cancellation is trying to Sc
cure special advantage and there is a
strong belief that she will receive Amer
ican support. 1t is limited that Russia
inspired unfounded charges of barbarity
against the German troops, the motive
being to SOW dissension between Great
Britain and Germany"
In dispatch to the Times from Pekin.
dated December 31st, DR.. Morrison gives
the text of the Russo Chinese agreement
for the Russian protection of the Man
churian Province of Fen Ting. Russia he
says, consents that China shall resume
the civil government on the following
conditions:
"First-The Tartar General Tseng un-
dertakes to protect and pacify the prov
ince and to assist in the construction of
railroad.
"Second-He must kindly treat, feed
and lodge Russians engaged in the mill
tary occupation and in the protection OF

the Chinese soldiery, delivering to the
Russians all munitions of war in such
arsenals as the Russians have not ye;
occupied

FORMAL NOTICE GIVEN

Department.
REARRANGEMENT OF TRADE TREATIES
Difficulty Expected in This as There Must be
No Discrimination Made. Prompt Arrest
and Punishment Of The Boxer
Leaders Now Exnected.
Leaders Now Expected.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Jan. 2-Following at an
interval of one day close upon his an
nouncement that the Chinese Emperor
has decreed the acceptance of the Pekin
agreement, Minister Conger cabled the
State Department, under, date of Pekin,
taken, and that the Ministers had been
notified formally not only that the agree
ernment but that Government felt able to
guarantee performance of the conditions
imposed.
It was apprehended that there would
be much difficulty in settling the impor-
tant subject of indemnities, and the re-
arrangement of the commercial treaties
between China and the powers, which is
provided for only in general terms in the
agreement is expected to present equal
difficulties in the arrangement Of the
details. 1t is absolutely essential to har-
monious relations in the future that
there shall be no discrimination in the
making of these treaties. If by covert
arrangement, one power is to obtain COM
mercial advantage of the others, the re-
suit will be the cause of much dissatis-
faction. Therefore, 1t is within the
bounds of probability that the outcome of
the negotiations under this sub-head OF
the agreement touching commercial ar
rangements, will be the framing of some
thing like a general convention which
may be, signed collectively or singly by
the powers, but which will insure uni
form treatment to all.
The Chinese Governments guarantee of
its ability to perform the acts called for
by the agreement is now expected to be
followed by the prompt arrest and pun
ishmeDt of the Boxer leaders and sympa-
thizers who were named in the decree
of September 25th, as follows
Prince Chwan, Prince Yih. Secondary
Princes Tsai Lien, and Tsai Ying Prince
Tuan. Duke Tsai Lam and the President
of the Censorate, Ying Men, Assistant

Washington, Jan. 2.-The House prob
ably will dispose of the -apportionment
Bill this week, although Chairman Burton,
of the River and Harbor Committee, is
inclined to contest the right of way with

tionment Bill, carrying out, as it does
a constitutional requirement, is a matter
OF higher privilege than an appropriation
bill and if Chairman Hopkins insists it

to be a very determined fight against his
bill by members from States which lose
representatives, under it and he desires
a full house when the vote is taken. He
is confident that his measure viii carry
with a full attendance.
The session tomorrow probably will be
brief and unimportant On Friday either
the River and Harbor, or the Re-appor-
tionment Bill will be taken up. If it
should be the latter the expectation is
that it's consideration will be completed
on Saturday. If the former the length
of time to be consumed is problematical

Cape Town, Jan. 2.-The British battle
ship Monarch will land guns tomorrow as
precautionary measure. The situation
is undoubtedly serious.
1t is true that the Dutch have not join
ed the invaders in any considerable num-
bers, but lack of arms is believed to
be the true reason for abstention. In
many places horses are freely offered and
information readily supplied to the Beers.
The early proclamation of martial law
in the Cape Town division is expected.
This division does not include Cape Town
itself.
The latest reports show the situation
to be generally as follows;
Kuruman, if still uninvested, probably
soon will be.
Griqualand West is filled with small
parties of Beers who are working south
toward Prieska, for the purpose of CO.
operating with or supporting Commandant
Hertzog, whose advance parties are in the
neighborhood of Fraserburg.
The Beers are close to Graaf Reinet.
where of late the Dutch have given many
emorstrations of extreme sympathy.
In the eastern part of the colony the
advance guard of the Beers is close to
harrisburg, about twenty-five miles
northeast of Cradock
The general opinion here is that the
position is not properly appreciated in
England. The Worcester conference ex-
cited the Dutch throughout the Colony.
Many old residents, who are by no means
alarmists, regard an uprising fthe Dutch
as quite likely.
