The discussion of the oleomargarine bill was enlivened by a humorous speech hy. Senator Depew. Bailey had j just finished his forceful protest against the measure. Depew followed in advocacy of the bill. He compli mented Bailey on his entrancing speech, which he declared had affected his (Depew's) imagination, but not his Judgment. He related the anecdote of a waiter at a first class restaurant who being asked how he pronounced o-l-e-o-m-a-r-g-a-r-i-n-e, instantly replied he pronounced it "butter,", othewise he would lost his job. (Laughter). He accused Bailey of putting the American girl in a wro,ng position, because of an allusion to her in Bailey's speech. Bai ley interrupted saying, "I forgot for a moment some of the recent occurrences in the life of the senator from New York, or I would not have said it." (Laughter). Depew said it was the senator's youth and beauty which as- tonished him when he made the re- mark. He could readily understand such a remark coming from a disap pointed lover, but no one could meet the senator socially not see his photo graph on Pennsylvania avenue without realizing his geniality. His happiness and eloquence had come 'because the American girl has loved and admired him. Bailey should have not gone back ! on her, he asserted, and' said she was a ; "fraudulent living specimen of oleomar garine." i i 'A colloquy followed between Bailey, ' Spooner and Stewart with regard to the ', object of the bill, which was cut short !by a motion to go into executive ses- '( If 7 : NEW UTlsm SORIEEKNS.

"(China, has com pleted a treaty with the foreign powers and all is quiet now he said, "but how long it will. remain a placid coun try no one 'can say- The recent treaty of Great Britain and Japan guarantees peace for a time only, for there is a feeling tending to the disintegration of the country among some of the powers, among whom Great Britain, Japan and the United States are for the mainten ance of the integrity of China, but Rus sia, France and others are for slicing up the kingdom. "Regarding the Manchurian question, Russia did not get the special conces sion favored toy the treaty made by Li Hung Chang. The'lRussians are schem ing in many ways for the retention of Manchuria and Mongolia and will, I believe, ultimately gain possession. There were rumors (before I left Pekin that rebel forces were in motion in- Kan Su and were supposed to be acting In concert with troops of Prince Tuan, the ex-tooxer leader.

BOUNDARY -Washington, April 2. The boundary controversy has assumed a new phase that may develop into a more serious State of affairs than hoc vol- .-. mit-t-o1 -. J . X Secretary Hay has been advised that a monument erected toy Russia to mark the boundary between Alaska, and ad jacent British territory has been arbi trarily removed toy a Canadian official surveying expedition . In view of this Hey by direcftion'of the president, has order ed a personal investigation to be made by a commission of American officers to ascertain the truth ot the informa tion, state aepartment officials are reticent about the matter and are ap parently much annoyed because it has 'become known. The location of the Russian boundary monuments is of the most vitali im- portance to the United States in the boundary controversy. For many years the United States government has been endeavoring tq find the monuments. Russia insists they were actually erect ed and mark the .true limits of Alaska. Since the failure of the Joint high com mission, which met in Washington some time,, ago to settle the boundary ques tion, Canadian surveying parties have been busy attemptlne: to docate the boundary. If this government can locaite Russia's boundary monuments the British claim to certain -territbry now in dispute l'5Epuld f at& thj ground. . Therefore Jthe removar of the Russian boundary mon ument toy Canadian, officials Is a serl ous affront and requires explanation: and redress. DENIAL THAT THE MINE AT DAYTON IS ON FIRE WORKMEN EXCAVATING THE DE BRIS AND ALL BODIES WILL BE RECOVER ED. 'Chattanooga, Tenn., April 2. Inves tigation today revealed the fact that the Nelson mine at Dayton, in which the explosion occurred, was not-on fire. Workmen were engaged today in exca vating the debris- and all bodies will be recovered. The funerals of those re covered were held here today, m all there are 16 killed, leaving 58 orphans and 14 widows. George Stafford, col ored, one of the injured, died this morn ing. Miners claim that the explosion was due to a failure to sprinkle the mine Sunday. The prevailing opinion seems to be that it was caused by a combination of coal dust and gas in the mine. The officials of the Dayton Coal & Iron company state that they have not pro gressed sufficiently in their inveetiga- itlons tn make a full statement, but Ithey 1 claim that the Nelisc-n was one of the iest governed mines at - Dayton, and , that they have always been willing to . comply with the regulations of the state I governing mining interests.
