The Statehood Measure is Classified
 With the DefunCt
It's Companions the Philippine Tariff Bill and the Santo Domingo Treaty-The Hepburn Bill Will Probably Pass Without Amendment.

Washington March That the railroad rate bill will be passed by the senate practically as it came from the house is an admission that the oppon- ents of the measure are almost. ready to make. It was admitted today that they cannot hope for any assistance from the president in getting an amendment fer a judicial review of the order of the interstate commerce commission.
 The president made this clear to Senators Crane and Spooner today The only hope left to the opponents of the measure is in the democrats. They have not definitely determined what the party position will be toward such an amendment but it is admitted that more than half of the minority favor passing the bill exactly as it came from the house
 The railroad rate bill for several days has been regarded as the one measure standing in the way of an early adjournment of congress One of the leading republican senators, a member of the steering committee, de- c!ared today that "the. Philippine tar if bill, the statehood bill and the San to Domingo treaty are all dead" He qualified his statement concerning the SteALeliOOu Dl-l Dg SdNlllS LfldL ne meant that the friends of the bill could not pass it without the Foraker amend ment providing for submission to the votes of the people of New Mexico and Arizona separately the question of whether they should have joint state hood. A poll of the senate today showed that if voted upon now the Foraker amendment would win forty eight to forty, providing the entire vote of the senate was cast.
 A vote on the Philippine tariff bill in committee is scheduled for tomor- row A nasty poll of the senate taken today indicates that if brought to vote, the Philippine tariff bill will be defeated by much larger vote than was found for the Foraker amend ment to the statehood bill. In the event the bill is defeated in the com mittee, the opponents have expressed the intention of making a motion iu the senate to nave the committee dis charged from further consideration of the measure, and thus finally dispose of il by a test vote On such a mOtiua
 Practically all of the senate leaders concede that the Santo Domingo treaty will be defeated if brought to vote, and the plan generally favored is to defeat the treaty as early as is possible and thus avoid continued dis cussion of it.
 Under this general program outlined by the senate republican leaders, great amount of expected oratory would be eliminated

MASSACRE
 PROVOKED
The Story of the Chinese
 Rising at NdngChang
The Cause of It was LOcal--There are no Indications of a General Attack Upon Foreigners.

Shanghai, March 1-The following account of the recent attack on for eign missionaries at Nanchang. a city of 1,0e0,000 inhabitants, mas been re- ceived:
 Fifteen Methodists, twelve English Protestants and fourteen French Ca tholic missionaries were in the city or last Thursday night when the French Catholics had a quarrel with an off, cial over a suit for the possession of the property. Great excitement pre- vailed on Friday. A mass meeting was held on Saturday and was followed on Sunday by a riot, during which the property of the Catholics was burned. The Protestants took refuge in the adjoining house of MT. Kingman The house was burned and six priests and two of the Kingman family were kill ed
 The Chinese governor attempted 70 check the riot and rescue the mission aries. The men of the Methodist mis- sion. aided by Chinese soldiers. took their school girls to Chinese homes in the city and brought Misses Hot and Kahn from a hospital All took refuge in Mic river, in a launch which was furnished by the Chinese officials. The launch waited until the Chinese sol diers brought the remaining mission aries at daylight on Monday The launch reached Kiukiang on Tuesday The wounded Kingman girl died on the way.
 The Chinese could have blocked the passage of the launch during the 12 hours journey down the narrow, shall low river, but they were friendly. Rev. A. P. QTirmbach of the Method ist mission remained at Nanchang to care for the property. He is under the protection of the governor and is probably safe. Rev. Spencer Lewis. superintendent of the M. E. mission at. Chun King, wired Consul General Rodgers at Shanghai on Sunday warning him of the disaster and wired the facts to Bishop Rashford. On Monday Captain Fletcher, command ing the American ships, had the Ioca- tion of every American missionary in the Yangtse valley.
 After consultation on Monday Cap tain Fletcher ordered the gunboat FL cano from Ranking to meet the fugi- tives at Kiul1iang or Poyang Lake. They were met at Kiukiang. The cause of the riot was local. Serious blame attaches to the French Catholics. Chi nese friendly to the missionaries ob- ject to the priests exercising civil functions.
