Washington, Feb. 15.-Senator James Watson of Indians declared to-day that the Senate would pass the long-debated Tariff Bill within the next Fortnight.
This mensure was first taken up by the special session of Congress and continued, virtually without a break, into the regular session..
Meanwhile practically nothing else will be considered.
Senator Watson said that there was no indication that an attempt would be made to stage a filibuster on sugar, which remained as the principal question.

AMERICAN MISSIONS AND EXTRALITY.
IMPORTANT POINT RAISED.
[UNITED PRESS.] Washington, Feb. 14-The State to rule as to whether Americans in. Department may soon be compelled dividually can surrender their treaty rights in China, especially the right of extra-territoriality, it was indicated to-day.
Much speculation has resulted, in this connection, from dispatches reporting that. Mr. A. N. Smith, an American missionary whose au tomobile killed a Chinese in Kiang. su province, had surrendered him- self to Chinese authorities at Tangchow.
The State Department declined to comment, except to say that a full report of the facts has been requested from local consular au- thorities.
No definite ruling on this impor- tant point has even been made, it was pointed out. Home authorities have previously maintained that the Government of the United, States is compelled to insist upon retention by the individual of his treaty rights, regardless of the de- sires of the partics concerned.
It was recalled that the question came to the fore four years ago, when a conference af missionaries at Tientsin brought up the point) that many desired voluntarily to renounce extra-territoriality.
J. V. A. MacMurray, American Minister at that time, is understood to have conveyed to the missionaries informally that it was felt that their desires could not be realized, due in part to the extreme diffi- culty of operating a system under which some Americans would be entitled to American protection and subject to American Consular Courts and others would be with- out such status.
BANNED SHANGHAI PAPER
UNFAVOURABLE REACTION IN AMERICA.
(UNITED PRESS.] Washington, Feb. 14. — While United States Senators and news- paper organizations are making in- creasingly urgent representations to the State Department with re- ference to the continued ban by the Chinese Post Office against the American-owned and edited Shang- hai Evening Post, it was learned to-day that the matter is to be brought before the approaching an- nual meeting of the American Newspaper Association.
Dr. Wa Chao Chu, Chinese Minister to Washington, is under- stood to have been the recipient of a number of representations simi- lar to those made to the Depart- ment of State.
Dozens of newspapers have al ready commented upon the matter. individually, and at the meeting of the American Newspaper Asso cialion it is expected that the situn-

The continuation of the ban with- out official explanation has created an extremely bad impression among American editors and members of the Senate.
