senate of the United states This Week wn Take Up the Chinese Boy-
 cott.--Railroad Biil In House.

Except for possible developments in the Franco venezuelan crisis. and pos sibIe. though unexpected, complications in the Moroccan conference, the week begins with little promise of news events of an unusual character.
 The critical point in the Franco Ven azuela situation which seemed immi- nent, has passed for the moment, as France has announced that she awaits a more propitious time for taking such action against Venezuela as she has de- cided upon It Is estimated that her desire is to awnit the conclusion of the Algeciras conference before involving herself with Venezeula.
 The Moroccan conference promises no very definite action as the graver problems it Is to confront are yet some way off.
 Though the attendance of the deIe- gates is more marked than a week ago, there Is still feeling of funcertainty as to the outcome It Is generally beiiev- ed that the longer the conference lasts the better will be the chances for it's successful termination
 The Senate will begin the week with the consideration of the Chinese boy colt. The question will come up In connection with a resolution offered last week by Senator Tiliman directing  vestigate the reports concerning Chi- nese opposition to American manufact- ures.
 MT. Ting FanE's Leadership.
 When the resolution was presented Mir, Tillman asked for immediate con- sideration. but MT. A1drich objected. It is understood that he and other Repub- lican Senators dislike the preamble to the resolution, which assumes as fact the reported leadership of former Min ister Wu Ting Fang fin the boycott movement Mir. Tillman Is disposed to insist upon the retention of this phrase ology. If he does not change his mind the resolution doubtless will lead to n considerable airing of the Chinese question.
 Senator Gallinger will make an ef- fort Monday to secure further consid- eration of the Shipping bill and 1t is his purpose to press the measure upon the attention of the Senate as insistently as the eircumstances-- will permit. In ttlis policy he swfIi be supp6esed for q short time. anyway. by many Repub- lican Senators. It is suspected by some of the friends of the Shipping bill that there is disposition to keep the meas ure 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 displnce it whenev- so disposed with the Statehood bllI The antagonists of Statehood do not admit this and if looks as if the fight over the admission of the new States might he initiated in this way. It is not probable, however. that this stage of the contest will be reached for some time.
 wiiI he Reported Today.
 The Statehood bill will be reported by Senator Beveridge from the com mittee on Territories Monday Tho committee has given no instructions to him as to bringing the bill up in the Senate. but he will press it as rap idly as he can without prejudice to other party measures. The friends of the bill expect very determined opposi- tion and q long contest in among the strong probabilities.
 The principal point of controversy is the union of New Mexico and Arizona and an effort will be made to secure the adoption of Senator Foraker's amend ment giving the peorle of Arizona an opportunity to vote separately on the proposition.
 The indications are that there will be very little if any more discussion of the Moroccan question but there will be additional speeches on the status of affairs In Santo Domingo.
 The Isle of Pines treaty will be re- ported early in the week. Mir Fora ker will have charge of it and will try to secure an early vote on 1t. There will be an effort to amend the treaty so as to protect the rights of Ameri- cans on the islapds.
 In the House the Hepburn railroad rate bill. endorsed alike by Republi- cans and Democrats. of the interstate and foreign commerce committee, is to be the legislative feature of the week The bill Is to be brought in with ab- no restrictions as to debate or amendment. It's consideration will begin Tuesday according to the pres- ent plan and indications are that vote will hardly be reached by the end of the week.
 New S.nsatiOn for House.
 We are to give the House a new sensation" said one of the members who has a hand in making the pro- gram of Legislation. Tt is seldom that the House can indulge itself in unre- stricted talk and unhampered oppor- tunity for amendment of any given subject of legislation On the railroad rate bill. with a unanimous report from the committee. this Is for once to be changed. The bars are to be left entirely down. Of course. if 1t should transpire that this privilege is to be abused in any way: should an attempt be made to run, away with the opportunity, a rule can at any time be brought in and adopted. which will put an end to the fun. This, however. would result only when 1t became ap- parent that dangerous amendments were threatened. There will be no re- strIotions as to speech making"
