Chinese Question Occupying All
the Time of the British
Foreign Office.
Action on the Hay-Pauncefote
Agreement Not Probable
for Some Time.
The Davis Amendment Is the
Principal Objection to Fa-
vOrable Action.

New York, Jan. ia dispatch to
The Tribune from London, says:
China questions being more urgent,
In view of the signing Of the agree
uent by Prince Ching and Earl Ii, it
Is not considered probable at the en-
bassy that the foreign Office will take
decisive action upon the amended
canal treaty this week. The rejection
Of the amendments will be an unpleas-
ant surprise if it be brought about.
There is, however, no definite assur-
ance that the amendments will either
be accepted or rejected, but there is
q hopeful feeling that the foreign office
will take advantage of favorable
opportunity for bringing so years of
controversy to an end and promoting
good feeling between the countries.
There would be little doubt that the
changes in the test would be sane
toned if the Davis amendment were
out of the way. This is the chief oh.
stacle, because it is academic in form
and vague in application, yet on par
allel lines with the Suez convention.
England, by virtue of political con-
troll at Cairo, could close the Suez
canal against warships in an emer-
gency, if Lord Cromer were instructed
to do so, and this policy might be die
tated in self defense if hostile feet
were on the way to India. The for
eign Office might have stopped Cam
ara's feet if the government had sug-
gested that course during the war with
Spain. No request was made, and Ad-
miral Camara went through the canal
and returned when he found that the
feet could not reach the Philippine
islands. But Lord Cromer might have
prevented either passage if he had
been directed to do so. The same
powers, reserved under the Davis
amendment for America in an
emergency, will virtually be retained
by England over the Suez canal so
long as Egypt remains under uer polit-
icaI control.

Venezuelan Government Takes
Possession of Two Ameri-
can Steamships.
Are the Property of the Orinoc0
Company, Operating Along
That Waterway.
State Department Informed OF
the Seizure but No De-
tails Are Given.

Washington, Jan. 16.-The state
department was informed during the
afternoon ny canle from Venezuela
that the Venezuelan government had
taken possession of two steamers be-
longing to the Orinoco Steamship
company. No details of the seizure
are made public. The Orinoco COM
pany is acknowledged to be an Amer
lean concern operating between Port
au Prince and points up the Orinoco
river. The head of the company is
said to be an American named Alcott.
The seizure of the two steamers of
the Orinoco Steamship company was
reported in a cable dispatch from Min
lister Loomis at Caracas, who says they
have been taken for the purpose of
being employed against the revolu-
tionists.
The company, it appears. has both
English and American stockholders,
an American president and an Eng

Harrisburg, Pa. Jan. 16.-The state
senate, at 8 o'clock, selected M. s.
Quay as its choice for senator. Bal
lot was as follows: Quay 26, Guffey
(Dem.) IL, Dalzell (anti-Quay Repub-

The vote in the house was delayed
by crowds surging on the floor, max

to appeal to the mayor for police aid.
The sergeant-at-arms te.ephoned to the
police station and during the wait for
the police the officers of the house
made another unsuccessful attempt to
dispense the crowd.
When order was finally restored in
the house the vote was taken and Quay
received a majority. This insures his

SEND RENFoRcEMENTS.
Fresh Troops and Horses Going to
South Africa.

oOQI0 AfTtCds
New York, Jan. 16.-There is
good deal of uncertainty as to the ex
act intentions of the government in
regard to the question of reinforce
ments for South Africa, says the Lon
don CORES Ondent OF The Tribune.
The announcement made SO posi-
lively by The Post that the enroll
ment of Baden-Powells police force
had been abandoned is officially con-
tradicted. Probably The Post was led
into error by the confusion of official
plans, as it is now stated that in addi-
ton to the consta bulary, the war Office
intends to dispatch to the Cape five
thousand men to strengthen the Impe
rial Yeomanry, which, as a fighting
body, has been seriously weakened. 1t
is expected that without counting the
police recruits few weeks time will
see more than ten thousand fresh Brit
ish troops in the field. The question
of mounts is also being dealt with and
horses are now, it is understood, be-
ing sent to South Africa at the rate of
about 5000 a month

THE NEW WARSHIPS.
In Order 20 TncrcnHc Tnttcry Power
and Stenmin| Rnlii VIII Not Re
Given Excessive speed Powers.

In order to increase their battery
power and steaming radii the project
ed battleships aud armored cruisers
will not be given excessive speed pow
ers, says the Washington correspon-
dent of the New York Herald.
This has been determined by the
board of construction. The battle
ships will be about the size of the
Pennsylvania class-that is 5000 tons
and the armorcd cruisers will be
about $4,000 tons, the displacement of
the California class. The battleships
will have a speed of 10 knots, while the
armored cruiser will not have more
than % knots and perhaps only 81. \
suggestion was made that they be de-
signed for 30 knots. but the conclusion
was reached that the space.for the ma
chinery to produce this speed could
better be utilized in storing coal and
adding to the battery strength.
The board has not yet determined
upon the battery arrangement of the
ships. Plans have been prepared by
each member, some of which cmbody
the SuperpOSed turret principle. Some
Of the members believe enough battle
ships equipped with superposed tur-
rets have been constructed, and they
will urge a return to the quadrilatcral
arrangement.
The Union iron works has asked for
an extension of time on the torpedo
boat Perry, which ON her recent trial
trip made only 2S.25 knots, thrce-quar.
ters of a knot below her designed
speed. The additional time desired by
this company is for he purpose of re-
modelling the stern
