Washington, April 27. The plans of
11k; senate for the week do not extend
beyond the continuation of the debate
on the Philippine government bill and
the consideration of minor matters
when there In no one prepared to speak
on the Philippine bill. There Is no pros
pect thus far for speeches In support of
that measure, and consequently all the
talk bids fair to continue to be on the
ii"gatlve side of the question. Up to the
present time the speeches nil have been
made by minority members of the Phil
ippine committee, but it is stated that
other Democratic senators have prom
ised to lift their voices in opposition to
the bill, among- them being Messrs. Tur
ner. Clay and Simmons. Senator Hoar
also has made known his intention to
speak on the bill, but it isnot expected
that he will be henrd during the pres
ent week.
In the committees, the inquiries into
the sugar question s related to Cuba !
and into General Crozler's connection
with gun carriage inventions probably ',
will be begun. The committee on the
Philippines also will proceed with its
investigation into the condition of af
fairs in the Philippines.
There is a miscellaneous programme
nhcad for the house this week. Tomor
row the special rule for consideration of
the omnibus public building- bill will
bo brought in and passed, and the ir
mainder of the day will be devoted to
District of Columbia business. Tues
day the omnibus bill will be passed.
Wednesday consideration of the agri
cultural appropriation bill will be re
Hiimed and when It is. disposed of the
District of Columbia appropriation bill
will be taken up and probably, passed
before the end of the week. "With its
passage only two appropriation bills
will remain to be acted on by the bouse
the naval and general deticieney bills.
Seldom have the appropriation bills
been so well advanced at a long session
of congress as they are this year.

No Results Can Be Predicted from
the Informal Talk Opinions
of the Representatives.

New York, April 27. President Mitch
ell, of the United Jllne Workers, and
the three presidents of the anthracite
districts who accompanied him to this
city, had an informal talk ut the Ash
land house today. When Mr. Mitchell
was seen later be said the situation
had not materially changed since Sat
urday. W. H. Truesdale, president of
the Deiawaie, Lackawanna and West
ern ltallroad company, who is a mem
ber of the sub-committee appointed on
Saturday to try to form a basis of set
tlement, said:
"There is no reason why the miners
should not be satistled with present
conditions. There is no reason why
we should make concessions to them.
The rank and tile of the miners are
perfectly satisfied with matters as they
are."
Mr. Truesdale would not say whether
or not the chances seemed more favor
able to a settlement at the beginning
of the conference than when It was
ended. All ho would say that the
miners were well paid, and worked un
der fair conditions.
Asked as to the sentiments that Pres
ident Mitchell, of the United Mino
Workers, and his colleagues expressed
at the conference regarding concessions,
he said he could not talk on the subject
now. He added:
"Mitchell, I believe, does not want a
strike."
13. It. Thomas, chairman of the board
of directors of the Erie Railroad com
pany, who is also on the sub-committee,
declined to express an opinion as to tlio
chances of a settlement.
"It is the throwing of a penny lit the
air," he said. "You can't say whether
heads or tails will come uppermost."
The committees of the operators and
miners forming the Joint committee
i-nursed with the work of trying to find
a basis of settlement, will confer separ
ately tomonow, mo as to be ready for
the joint conference in the ofilce of the

IS RE-ELECTED
Nationalists, Antl - Ministerialists,

Are Returned The " Worst Defeat
the Government Has Ever Sus
tainedVote Is Twenty Per Cent.
Heavier Than at Last Elections.
By Kieliiilvc Wire from the A-wociated Preji.
Purls, April 27. Paris has not elected
a single ministerialist to the chamber
of deputies. Eight Nationalists, six
jintl-mlnlsterlnl Socialists, four nntl
mlnlsterial Republicans and three Con
servatives were returned. Tt was the
woisi defeat the government has ever
sustained in Paris. The ministerialists
loft four seats and another now con
stituency was won by the Nationalists.
Rc-balloting will occur in twenty-nine
districts.
The Nationalists, however suffered a
sew re check in Algiers, where M. Dru
innnl, the notorious anti-Semite, was
turned out by a majority of 000.
Among the prominent deputies re
elected to the chamber Is Count Bonl
de Castollane (Progressive), from the
dirtvict of Castellane, department of
l!as!ii-?-A!pos.
The polling for the election of new
members to the chamber of deputies
began at S o'clock this morning and
clos-ed at C o'clock this evening. The
total mnnber of candidates was 2,515.
Or this number, 253 stood in the de
partment of the Seine.
A drenching rain in Paris did not
prevent the voters from going to the
bout lis. The poll everywhere was
about twenty per cent, heavier than at
the last elections. The rain ceased in
the evening and immense crowds gath
ered on the boulevards In front of the
newspaper offices, where, notwith
standing the prohibition of the police,
illuminated sheets -u;ere displayed,
upon which the results of the elec
tions were flashed immediately after
they were received. No disturbance
worth mentioning occurred anywhere
In the city. During the day, the au
thorities took strln'gpnt precautions to
cope witlr possible disorders, and
stroi.p bodies of police kept the! crowds
in motion. The entire Republican
guaid was (iiranlered in the various
public buildings.
Ijense crowds, composed chiefly of
Nationalist", assembled in fiont of the
offices of the Libre Parole, the Gaulols,
and Hip Kchoe de Paris, and greeted
the first election announcements, which
Included three Nationalist victories in
Parrs, with tremendous cheering. M.
Millerand, Radical Socialist, who stood
' for re-election in one of the districts of
l-'uris, failed to uecure his election on
the first ballot, his Nationalist oppon
ent running him close throughout. If
Ui tes recorded by the anlt-minis-terlulists
and the Socialists are trans
ferred to M. Millerand on the second
i ballot, to be held May 11, lie is certain
' to lie re-elected.
