The Chinese sit uation continues to be Ithe cause of exasperation! and apprehension) to. every iBuiropean government except Russia. The general impression is that th3 unit ed protest against Russia's scheme won't avail to prevent the Muscovites from accomplishing1 their entire pur pose sooner or later. The Spectator finds the greatest cause for alarm, in the silence - the Oninese, which is con sidered significant of terrible impend ing developments.

The senate this afternoon, after a session in wthich no 'business was .transtacted, adjourned sine die. The adjournment would have taken place yesterday but for the desire to give the newly elected senator from Washington, Mitchell, time to reach the capital. Today he was sworn in and on tne request of Morgan appointed a member of the committee on inter oceanic canals, on the ground that he Is especially qualified having served on that committee when previously a member of the senate. Ttoosevelt made a blunder today re sulting in considerable embarrassment.

Bryan arrived at the Hoffman house today. He said the came here on business for his newspaper and that he would de liver no speech and would attend no public dinners. He had nothing to say about free silver or "paramount is sues." Mr. Bryan was questioned about va rious matters of public interest and said: "It looks 'as if the (Niicaraguan canal project had fallen through . The trans continental railroads and the McKinley administration are responsible. The railroads were afraid that if "theweater was used for the canal there would not be enough left for thes tocks. "If the republican party makes no more progress in the next four years than it made in the last four it will soon reach its finish.

INVES T1GATION. Washington, March 9. The treasury department has become satisfied that the bubonic plague exists to an alarm ing extent in San Francisco and that stringent measures must be taken to prevent the spread of the disease. The state authorities have heretofore main tained that the disease had not appear ed there at all, but at last have been forced to admit that the Washington officials are rigiht. The matter reached a crisis today when a commission of Calif ornians appointed by the governor appeared at the treasury department and spent nearly the whole day confer-in- with Secretary Gage and other offi cials. The federal commission apointed some. time ago recently returned a con fidential report hat the plague exists, that there 'has been at least six deaths and1, that there are a number of cases now. The situation has been aggravated by the conduct of the state officials in in sisting that the plague did not exist. Governor aGge hadn't yet openly ad mitted at and has protested in lengthy telegrams to Secretary Gage and Pres ident McKinley against fedral investiga tion. The report of the commission, composed of well known plague ex perts, led Secretary Gage to take prompt measures. Thereupon the gov ernor appointed his commission to come to Wash i n gtonand protest against federal interference. At the conference today the commission- endeavored to show that, the fed eral agents had exaggerated the se riousness of the situation.
