SHORN OF ITS STRENGTH An Amendment Excepting Labor Or Ionizations Pntavtue Republicans In a Hole and Practically Defeats All Important Provisions or the Bill Kepabllran Leaders Driven from Cover by a Call for the Ayes and Noes ( j Washington, June 2. Before pro ceeding to' the consideration of the Anti-Trust bill undr the .special order, the House today disposed of some rou tine business. Mr. tWatson, of Indiana, was appointed one j of the board of visitors to the Naval Academy in place of Mr. Grout; resigned. The Senate amendments to the Sun- i dry Civil bill wera disagreed to, and the bill was sent o conference. Mr. Bartholdt, ofj Missouri, asked if; opportunity would be afforded to test the sense of the House on a motion to j concur in the St. ilouis Exposition ap propriation. Mr. Cannon replied in the affirmative. A bill was pn.osil to authorize the i immediate transportation of- dutiable; goods to Astoria, Ore., after which Mr. Ray, chairman of the Judiciary Com mittee, demanded the regular order the Anti-Trust bill. Unjler the order thirty minutes on a side Were allowed for general debate. Mjr. Overstreet, of Indiana, who drew j the report on the bill, occupied the tijme for geueral de bate on his side with an explanation of the proposed aiheodinent to the Sherman Anti-Trust law, which It con tained. Mr. Fitzgerald, of Massachusetts, ridi culed the idea that the Republican party had done anything to curb the trusts. Only yesterday, said be, the leader of the Republican party the chairman of its National Committee defended in the Seriate one of the greatest of the trusts, the armor plate trust, counseling the government to comply with its extortionate demands. Mr. Terry, of Arkansas, denied that the pending measure exhausted the constitutional power of Congress, point ing to the minority! amendments pend ing. 'Which, he sanl, would effectually crush trusts and monopolies. After fur ther remarks by Messrs. 4wmwn, of Virginia, Driggs. off Xew York, and others, general debate was closet!. The bill was then read tamler the five-minute rule. - i Mr. Terry offered numerous amend ments to carry outl the views of the minority as contained in their report. All of these were vted down. On one defining trusts the Vote was H9 to i 101. Then Mr. Terry jbffered an amend ment that where an illegal combina tion existed the President might sus pend the collection .of import duties on like articles in which the trust dealt and keep them suspended so long as the illegal combination continued, in busi ness. Upon this an aye and nay vote resulted 122 to 133. Mr. Terry then offered the following amendment: ' f "Nothing in this act shall be so con structed as to apply! to trade uuions or other lalor organizations, organized for the purpose of regulating wages, hours or labor or other conditions tinder which labor is to be performed." Mr. Ray made a point of order against it as not germane but the Speaker held that under tlref rule of proceedirre it was in order. Oh a viva voce vote it was carried, but !Mr. Richardson de manded the ayes amt nays, and as many Republicans voted for it they were ap plauded. As the call proceeded the ex citement grew intense as it was general lv admitted that it put the Republicans in an inconsistent position and practi cally defeated all important provisions of the bill. I Vhen among the Republicans Messrs Babcock, Grosvenor, j Ray, Payne, Hop kins and other leaders were driven from cover and voted aye the applause was so vociferous as to stop! the business of the House. it was the sharpest political move made : this session of Congress. The. vote resulted Jayes, 206; nays. 8: present, 8. The result was . received with great cheering. - The vote on the passage of the bill resulted 23 to 1 Mann, of Illinois. f At 5:30 the IIouspj adjourned. 1 inPROVINO THE Tmi?.

In support' of his amendment Mr. Ilarris contended that there was an effort be ing made to settle a debt of $4,200,000 due 'by the railroad to the United States government for about J$S0O,HM). The amendment was rejected 1G to 32. Mr. Harris then offered another amendment providing that the commis sion" created by the bill should report to Congress.

Although affairs in this section of the Chinese empire are now quiet, it is feared that tne situation is merely the proverbial calm before ihe storm. News of another outrage committed by Boxers is at hand, having come to the French consulate here. Duriug the great excitement Thursday thirty for- a i ? a. f eigners, including six women., neu in me direction of Tien-Tsin for safety. They left Taoting-Fu in boats for this city. Shortly after they embarked the party was attacked by seven hundred Boxers and a frightful scene of massacre fol lowed. The foreigners were mercilessly at tacked, the insurgents shouting fiercely during the onslaught, and four of the refugees were killed outright. The num ber of the wounded is not known, but it is stated that few escaped injury dur ing the first attack. It is learned that the refugees who managed to escape the fury of the Box ers are within ten miles of this city. An expedition has been made up here and is preparing to leave immediately to meet the survivors and escort them to the city. News from Pekin is awaited here with intense interest. It is understood that the foreign marines were not attacked bv the Boxers on their way to the capi tal, and there are many here who hope that the demonstrations of several na tions at Pekin will have a quieting ef fect, although it is feared that the real trouble will break out sooner or later, when an effort will be made by the rebels to drive all foreigners from Chi nese soil. The British warship Centurion and the Italian cruiser Calabria have arrived here, and their presence is a relief to the frightened people.

NOBODY IS SCARED Chandler Resolution a Harm less Bit of Buncombe ONLY CAMPAIGN THUNDER Senator Prltcbard Tblaks It TO ay Help Ills Cause lo Institute a Partisan In vestigation .nr. Klnttz Say -the Amendment Bon Not Propose to Do What Is Hinted at In the Resolution North Carolina Menifee ra. Y Ry JOHN BOYLE Washington, June 2. Special. The Chandler-lloar-Pritchard resolution, af feotiug Southern representation in Con gress, which is intended to act as a scare crow to frighten the timid or thought less, was very generally discussed among Southern members today. But it did not frighten, nor, so far as could be observed, did it disturb them in the least from theteveu tenor of their way. Naturally, among the North Carolina delegation it excited interest, as it is especially designed for campaign pur poses in the State this summer.' Mr. Kluttz, responding to an inquiry by The Post correspondent, though much hur ried with business in the House, said: "In my opinion the resolution report ed by Senator Chandler, which is but a re-vamp of the Pritchard and Hoar res olution, amouuti practically to nothing except as harmless campaign thunder. It is calculated and designed only as an excuse for instituting a partisan in vestigation, the results of which, it is hoped, can be utilized for campaign pur pases. "So far as the proposed constitutional amendment in North Carolina is con cerned, it is in no wise affected by this resolution. North Carolina does not propose to confer the right to vote upon any of its citizens because of their de scent from certain persons or classes of persons,' nor does it 'exclude other citi zens because they are not descended from such persons or classes of per sons. . "Nor is the amendment capable of any such construction. It enables certain persons to vote because they are de scended from persons who could Tote prior to 1867, but excludes no one be cause he is not so descended. It is an enabling act, and the Chandler resolu tion is mere brntem-fulmen. It is doubtless inspired by Senator Pritchard: certainly it is the outcome of the reso lution introduced by him. in the vain hope that It may deter the people cf North Carolina from Toting tor n? amendment forfear something . terrible may happen. The people of Xorth Car olina are too intelligent and patriotic to be fooled -or frightened by any such means. Mr. Bellamy secured one minute dur ing the debate on the Littlefield trust bill today and will extend his remarks in the record on: this bill. Messrs. Pearson. White.
