CRITICAL POINT SEEMS
 PASSED FOR THE PRESENT
FRANCE INTENDS TO AWAIT A MORE PR0PI7IoUs
 TIME.

ssaii Deal With Venezuela After Con-
 ciusion of the Moroccan Conference
 Latter Promises No Very Definite
 Action This Week as the Grayer
 Problelns Are Yet Some Ways or
 Senate to Take Up Chinese Boycott
 Other Matters of Interest.
 The critical point in the Franco Yen ezuelan situation which seemed inaYr1i- nent has passed for the moment. as Ffanoe has announced that she wstI await "a propitious time" for takina such action against Venezuela as she has decided upon, It is int1mated that her desire is to await the conclusion of the Algeciras conference before invoIv- ing herself with Venezuela.
 The Moroccan conference promises a,o very definite action, as the gravera prob lems it is to confront are yet some ways off Though the alignment of The dele gates is more marked than a week ago, there is still a feeling of uncertainty as to the outcome. It is generally believed that the longer the conference lassas &ha better will be the chances for it's sue cessful termination. The private dis cussions which the Preach and Gerrnau delegates have had has created an on, timistic feeling among the other con ferees
 The senate will begin the week with the consideration of the Chinese buv- colt. The question will come up in con- nection with resolution offared laat week by Senator Tlllman directing the committee on immigration to inveatis gate the reports concerning Chinese op- position to American manufactures. When the resolution was presented Mi. 1 Tillman asked for immediate consider ation but MT. Aldrich objected. It is understood that he and other renuhli- can senators dislike the preamble to the resolution, which assumes as a fact the reported leadership of former Minister 1 Wu Ting Fang in the boycott move- ment Mir. Tillman is disposed to insist upon the retention of this phraesology. If he does not change his mind the res- olution doubtless will lead to consiazs erable airingAf the Chinese ques i, Senator GaTfnger viii fitssfrs sTf elfol l to-day to secure further consideration of the shipping bill, and it is his pur- pose to press that measure upon the attentiopsof the senate as insistently as the circumstances will permit In this policy he will be supported, at least for the present, by many republican sena- tors It is suspected by some of the friends of the shipping Oill that there is disposition to keep the measure in its place for the purpose of holding off the statehood bill, but they say that, while they are not prepared to let go of the shipping bill for the present, they can displace 1t whenever so disposed with the statehood bill. The antago- nists of statehood do not admit this, mission of new states might be inttiat- ed in this way. It is not probable. how ever, that this stage of the contest wtll be reached for some time. Mr Gallin- ger will offer further amendments to his bill to-day, and either then or later in the week he and Senators Lodge and Penrose will make speeches in support of the bill, There will then ha an ef- fort to get the opponents of the bull either to agree to a vote or give tIteir reasons for opposition. There win Dc no attempt to prolong sessions, but the bill will be held in it's place as steadily as possible in the hope of getting action before it becomes necessary to crowd the measure out in the interest of other bills.
 The statehood bill will be reported by Senator Beverdge from the epmsnittee Continued on Third Page.1 ~----@---4A--a--.-----&
