Washington, Feb. 1O.-After the
reading of the journal in the house
Monday, Mr.. Richardson (Tenn.) took
exception to the presentation of the
conference report on the department
of commerce bill Mt Sundays me-
mortal session. He contended that
the action of Sunday was void. The
speaker ruled that it was regular. He
said that it had been repeatedly held
that Sunday could be made legisla-
tive day. The house when in session
at any time, he stated, was omnipo-
tent, except for the limitations OF
the constitution. Mr.. Richardson
protested against the ruling as u
dangerous precedent and moved to
correct the journal so as to strike out
the action of Sunday. Eleven republi-
cans voted with the democrats for
this motion, but it was defeated on
q rising vote, so to IS.
Richardson demanded roll call and
his motion was carried, 116 to 1O1.
Twenty-eight republicans voted with
the democrats. The net result OF
this action is to postpone the consid-

Drilling the Boxers-vio-
lating q Treaty.

San Francisco, Feb. 10.-Previous
reports of threatened outbreak in
China against Caucasian residents Is
confirmed by several persons who
have just arrived here from the ORR
cnt. DR.. James Young, surgeon OF
the steamer China, David Austin and
G., j. Kavanaugh are among those
who give accountst of the menacing
attitude of the boxers.
DR.. Young, accompanied by Austin
and an American engineer, and under
the direction of Chinese guide, went
to Canton when the steamer China
was at Hong Kong. Once within the
gates of the walled. city," the party
was beset by q rabble and was met
with demands for money. At the out
set the Chinese were complacent, but
the moment the tourists refused their
request for coin the Mongolians
hurled stones Mt the visitors and
drove them in terror to the five-story
pagoda, where they were temporarily
free from molestation.
Mr.. Kavanaugh declares the center
of the impending revolution is in
southern China and not in the north,
where the last outbreak occurred. I'm
Canton and the southern provinces"
he said, where there was no activity
during the uprising in 1900, it is now
thoroughly alive with cut-throats.
The Chinese are procuring arms and
ammunition in open violation of the
treaty with the powers at the time
the former uprising was settled. The
movement is being planned carefully.
Many Americans who were in the
Philippines have gone to China and
are engaged in drilling and training
the Chinese. 1t is my belief that the
uprising will take place at not far
distant date"

said Cyrus Leland today. He comes
out dat-footed and tells Just what he
can do and he is honest enough to tell
the old soldiers that he viii not deceive
them by introducing pension bills that
he knows he can never get passed
That isn't the way some other con-
gressmen do, however. For instance,
Mr., Curtis. It is stated that he intro
duced 245 private pension bills in the
last congress. when it is a recognized
fact that only five bills Of this character
will be passed for each member
That is Curtis way of making the
old soldiers believe he is their friend,
when as matter of fact he is only de-
ceiving them He has done that with old
soldiers up in my county He intro
duces special bills to give them pensions.

Is doing everything he can for them ana
they whoop it UP FOR him As a matter
of fact he can only get FIVE bills
through and when it comes time to pass
them he picks out the five that he wants
to go through and the others are killed
The only time this rule OF five Is vio-
lated is when some southern member
trades of his quota to d northern man
in exchange for some favor along other
lines
THE old soldiers will get on to this
method Of doing business now that Con
gresham Campbell has come out and
told just what he can do and that he
will not deceive the old soldiers by ra1s-
