MAKE SEVERE DEMANDS
AGREE ON CONDITIONS
FOR CHINA.
Must Erect a Monument to Won Ket-
teler-Pay an Indemnity-Abolish the
Tseung-li Yamen.

LONDON, Nov. 13-Dr. Morrison
wiring to the Times from Picking Sun
day says:
Pressed by the common desire for a
speedy termination of present condi-
tons, the foreign ENJOYS have finally
agreed to the following terms to be
presented in a joint note which, subject
to the approval of the governments,
will be pressed upon China as the basis
of a preliminary treaty:
China shall erect a monument to
Baron Won Ketteler on the site where
he was murdered and send an imperial
Prince to Germany to convey an
apology She shall inhict the death
penalty upon eleven princes and Off
Gals already named and suspend pro-
Vincinal examinations for five years
where the outrages occurred. In future
all officials failing to prevent anti-or-
eign outrages within their jurisdiction
shall be dismissed and punished CThis
is modification of Mr.. Conger's pro-
posaD
Indemnity shall be paid to the
states, corporations and individuals.
The Tsung-li Yamen shall be abolished
and its functions vested in a Foreign
Minister. Rational intercourse shall be
permitted with the Emperor as in civ
ilized countries
THE forts at Taku and other forts
and the Importation of arms and war
material prohibited. Permanent lega-
ton guards shall be maintained and
also guards of communication between
Picking and the sea.
Imperial proclamations shall be
posted for two years throughout the
empire supressing Boxers
The indemnity is to include compen-
sation for Chinese who suffered
through being employed by foreigners
but not compensation for native Chris
tians. The words missionary and
CHRISTIANS do not occur in the note"
WASHINGTON, November 12.-It is
understood that the Chinese authorities
at Peking have been profoundly arous-
ed by some of the executions of Chi
nese officials which have taken place
recently and that they have made
known in an official way their surprise
and regret that this should be done
while the peace negotiations are going
on.
1t appears that the execution of the
Acting Niceroy of Chill is looked upon
as peculiarly represensible. This Act
ing Niceroy served during the absence
of Ii Hung Chang, at Picking, occupy
ing his yamen and in all ways execut-
ing Earl Lis functions while he was
conducting the peace mission. His
headquarters We're established at Pao
Ting Flu, whence the allied forces un-
der the German commander recently
directed their expedition. 1t is said
that the Acting Viceroy made no OPP
position to the advance of the German
and other allied troops, although he
had an army capable of resisting. He
is said to have come out from the city
to meet the allies and to have turned
over his yamen to them. Chinese Off
Gals maintain, therefore, that this sum-
mary execution of one of the highest
officials, while he is said to have been
on-cOmbatant and peaceful, is extra
ordinary and calculated to stir up ami
mostly among the Chinese people which
there is every desire to avoid.

AN IMPORTANT QUESTION.

Attention of tho Senate Directed to the
Resolution Passed by the House.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-During the
morning hour in the senate Mr.. Berry
(Ark.) directed attention to the fact
that the house of representatives had
adopted resolution in favor of election
Of senators by the people, and he ap-
pealed to the committee on privileges
and elections, to which his resolution
for an amendment to the constitution
providing for the election of senators by
direct vote had been referred to present
a report, either in favor Of or against
the resolution. He regarded it as one
Of the most important questions before
the country.
Mr.. Chandler, chairman of the COM
mittee on privileges and elections, said
the committee had been very much en-
gagged thus far this session.
"But now that the opinion of the sen.
ator from Arkansas has been reinforced
by action of the house, doubtless the
committee will Immediately proceed to
consider the subject -
Mr.. Chandler said that personally he
was opposed to the election of senators
by the people, but he would be glad to
have the question considered.

SHIPPERS BUY STAMPS.

Federal Supreme Court Decides in Favor
of Express Companies.
WASHINGTON, April 17.-The su-
preme court has decided the cases in
volving the stamp tax as it applies to
express packages, the question involved
being whether the shipper or the carrier
shall pay the stamp charges on pack
ages. The opinion was handed down
by Justice White and was favorable to
the express companies. There were
two cases before the court, involving
the question at issue, but the opinion
was based upon the case of the Ameri-
can Express company versus Attorney
General Maynard of the state of Mich
igan. The case came to the supreme
court from the decision of the state su-
preme court of Michigan, which deci.
sion was adverse to the claims of the
express companies. The opinion just
rendered reversed this opinion.

marked an insurance friend of his.
pointing to one of his clerks working
away industriously at desk in anoth-
er room. "Well, he got his place in my
office through the striking of a match.

had made it known few days before
that | needed another clerk, and he
had heard of it. However, had al
most made up my mind to take on
young man who had been to see me
the day before and was about to tell
the last applicant so, when he pulled
match from one Of his pockets to light
cigar he had been smoking, but
which had gone out.
Sorry, SIR he said, balancing him
self on one foot, while he lifted the
other SO as to admis of his striking the
match on the heel of his shoe. Sorry,
for would like very much to work for
you, and | think l would have made
you a good clerk
'The match striking incident made
me think so too. Right at the young
mans elbow was great Italian mar
bic column upon which were the marks
showing where many matches had been
struck by vandals too utterly indiffer-
ent to the rights of others to refrain
from indelibly stamping their vandal-
ism upon property to restore which
would have cost hundreds Of dollars
1t would have been the most natural
thing in the world for many a man to
have scratched that match on the mar
bic column, and the fact that this
young man chose to use the heel of his
shoe instead showed that he was
thoughtful and conscientious, two very
excellent traits. I was so impressed
that l told him to come and see me,

cuDing the position. And his month in
my office has shown that l made no
mistake in sizing him up."-Philadel-
