Forecast for Week.
| Except for possible developments in the
IFrance-Venezuelan crisis, and possible,
though unexpected complications in the
| Moroccan conference, the week begins
| with little promise of news events of an
unusual character.
| The critical points In the France
Venezuelan situation which seemed I'M
minen;, has passed for the moment, as
France has announced that she Will
await a ''propitious time" for taking such
action against Venezuela as she has de-
cided upon. 1t is intimated that her de-
sire is to await the conclusion of tho
Algeciras conference before involving
herself with Venezuela
| The Moroccan conference promises no
very definite action as the grsver prob
| lens 1t Is to confront are yet some ways
LOFT. Though the alignment OF the dele
gates is more marked than week ago.
| there Is still uncertainty as to the out
come. 1t is generally believed that the
| onger the conference lasts the better will
lie the chances for Unsuccessful termina-
| ton.
| The Senate will begin the week with

1 The question will come up In connection
| with resolution offered last week by
Senator Tilmnn, directing the Committee
!, on immigration to investigate the reports
concerning Chinese opposition to Amer
lean manufactures. When the resolution
was presented. Mr. rillman asked for

sumcs as fact the reported leadership
OF former Minister WI Ting Fang In the
| boycott movement Mr.. Tillman Is dis
posed to insist upon the retention of this
phraseology. If he does not change his
mind. the resolution doubtless will lead
to n considerable airing of the Chinese
| question.
Shipping Bill To-day.
Senator Gallinger will make an effort
| to-day to secure further consideration
of the shipping bill and in pressing that
measure upon the attention of,the Sem
ate. he will be supported. at least for
the present by many Republican sena
| tors.
1t is suspected ny some of the friends
of the shipping bill that there is a dis
position to keep the measure in its place
TO hold off the statehood bill. but they
| say that While they are not prepared TO
let 20 of the shipping bin for the present,
they can displace it whenever so disposed
/ with the statehood bill The antagonists
of statehood do not admit this, and 1t
looks as IL the fight over the admission
OF new States might he Initiated in this
way. 1t is not probable however. that
| this stage of the contest will be reached
/ for some time.
! Mr.. Gallnger will offer further amend
/ inents to his bill on Monday. and either
/ then or later In the week. he and SEN
| ators Lodge and Pcnrose will make
| speeches in, support of the bill. There
! will then be an effort to get the oppo-
4 ltents of the bill either to agree to vote
! or give their reasons for opposition. There
4 will be no attempt 10 prolong sessions,
but the bill will nc held in its place as
I steadily as possible. In the hope of get
Ting action before it becomes necessary
/ to crowd the measure out In the interest
of other bills.
The Statehood bin wifi Zoe reported by
/ Senator BeverIdge from the Committee
I, on Territories, to-day He will press 1t
/ as rapidly as he can without prejudice
/ to other party measures. a long contest
is among the strong probabilities. The
| principal point of controversy is the
union OF New Mexico and Arizona, and
! an especial effort will be made to secure
| mcnt giving the people of Arizona an APP
portunity to vote separately on the propo-
] sition.
Senator Hepburn has given notice OF
Il request to-day for unanimous con-
sent to fixJa time for voting on the pure
