NextImportant Step.
Washington, Dec. 1.-THE next i'm
portant step in the Chinese situation
will be the formal presentation to
the Chinese plenipotentiaries of the
agreement arrived at between the5rep-
for PREPARATION for the Boxer outrages.
In just what manner this will be done
Mr.. Conger has not informed the state
department, although the probability
is that the document will be handed to
the Chinese by the dean of the diplo-
matte corps As has been stated al
ready, the agreement is simply a state
ment of the terms upon which the
powers will negotiate with China for
final settlement. and is laid before the
Chinese officials as matter of form.
The negotiations for final settlement
will come later, after the Chinese have
been given reasonable opportunity
for the consideration of the conditions
laid down by the powers The complete
agreement deciphered from the code
is now in the hands of the president.
Officials decline to make it's text public
in advance of the receipt of informa-
ton that it has been formally accepted
by the powers. although the advices
which have heretofore come from Mr.
Conger leave no doubt that this will be
the case. The essential features of the
agreement already have been outlined
in the press dispatches.
