COMMERCE COMMITTEE.
A Tie on the BUI Enlarging the Power of
the Commission.
Correspondence of tho Associated Press.
Yokahama, April 7, via San Fran-
oisoo, April 26—The flurry over the
Mazampo incident and fears of Russian
enoroachments in Korea, are today pat
entirely in the shade by tidings whioh
indicate serious trouble in China, and
the approach of another orisis of
whioh the empress dowager's reign has
been so prolific It is quite evident this
restless female intriguer has another
coup in oontemplatiou, and it is as evi-
dent that this time the western powers
are resolved by concerted aotion to
prevent it, as is evidenoed by the pres-
ence of their fleet.
The China Gazette in a reoent edi-
toral has declared that, ‘'if the present
polioy of the empress dowager, inspired
by her evil advisers Kan Yi, Prinoe
Ching. Li Hung Chang and Hsuitong,
on the one hand, and by Russian and
other continental and politioal wire pol-
lers on the other is not speedily re-
strained, an era of widespread horror
and bloodshed is not far off. The peo-
ple, and even many mandarins, In al-
most all the provinoee, most oertainly in
the middle and south, are ready to rise
and throw off the strangling yoke that
binds them.”
That the present ferment le wide-
spread is -evident not only from aotual
disturbances and insurrections in vari-
ous parts of the empire, but disaffection
among Hamaneae-troopsjwho are the on-
ly real fighting men in China.
Behind all the disturbances and in-
trigues which threaten to involve east-
ern Asia in a war, it is quite naturally
to be expeoted Japan sees the hand of
Russia busily engaged in fomenting
them. Attention, therefore, is naturally
turned to the necessity of some con-
certed aotion on the part of England,
Amerioa and Japan. It Is dearly recog-
nized almost anything in the line of
joint determination on the part of the
three powers would speedily and effect-
ually solve this eastern problem. In-
deed, it ie now looked upon as the only
resouroe for the restoration of psaoe to
unhappy China. No actual allianoe
offensive or defensive is needed.
Washington, April 26—A vote was
taken iu the interstate oommeroe com-
mittee today on the qnestion of report-
ing the bill enlarging the powers of the
interstate commerce commission, which
resulted in a tie, four to four. There
were three absentees, and of these Sen-
ators Aldrich and Chilton were paired,
the latter for, and the former against
the bill.' Senator Lindsay, the other
absentee, was not paired. The chair-
man was authorized to consult him and
act accordingly. If, therefore, Lind
say oasts his vote in favor of reporting
the bill it will be pnt in, otherwise it
will not be reported. The four senators
who voted for the bill were Cullom,
Chandler, Allen and Tillman; those
against were Gear, Elkins Wolcott and
Kean.

National Convention
Boston, April 26—The Republicans
today eleoted delegates and alternates
to the National Republican convention.

poses,” the Republicans declared,

the rights of citizens they should be
suppressed by adequate statutes.”
As to the inhabitants of the islande
acquired by the treaty of Paris, the
resolutions say:
"No greater trust than uplifting and
eduoating these defenseless people ha*
been imposed npon the United States.
The Republican party believes it to be
the high and solemn duty of the nation
to aooept and execute this trnst, with
all the responsibilities it involves by
retaining the islands and by providing
for their adeqnate government Upon
the prinoiplee of liberty and hnman
ity.” _

minority report of the committee on

ler in the Quay case to the effect the

Mantel in 1893 beoanse he was a silver
man and the votes of other in retallia
tion were oast against Corbett two years
ago because he was a gold standard

unfit to aot as judges in such oases, aud
