Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang
Make Preliminary Proposals
For Settlement.
Slege OF Legations q Serious OF
tense and China Agrees to
Pay indemnify.
Also Suggest That Old Treat
les Be Cancelled and New
Ones Arranged.

New YORK, Oct. 25.-A dispatch to
The Herald from Peking says:
A preliminary convention between
China and the combined powers has
been proposed by Prince Ching and Ii
Hung Chang. 1t is as follows:
"Article l-Laying siege to the lega.
tions Of foreign ministers is q high of.
fense against one of the important
principles of international law. No
country can possibly tolerate such q
thing. China acknowledges her great
fault in this respect, and promises that
1t will never occur again.
article 2-China admits her liabil.
ity TO pay an indemnity for the various
losses sustained on this occasion, and
the powers will each appoint officials to
examine and present all claims for q
final consultation and settlement.
"Articlc 3-As to future trade and
general international relations, each
power should designate how these mat
ters are to be dealt with, whether old
treaties should continue or new con.
ventlons should be made, slightly add
ing to the old treaties or cancclling the
old treaties and negotiating new ones.
ANY Of
These Plans May BE Adopted
and when China has approved them
further special regulations eau be made
in each case as required.
"Article This convention will be
made by China with the combined
powers to cover the general principles
which apply alike to all. This settled,
the foreign ministers will remove the
eeals they caused to be placed in vari'
ous parts Of the tsung Ii yamen, and
then the yamen ministers may go to
the yamen and attend to business a
usual. And further, each power should
arrange its own special affairs with
China so that separate treaties may bt
settled III due order. When the various
items Of indemnity are all arranged
properly or an understanding has beei
reached about them, the powers vii
successfully withdraw their troops.
article 5-The troops sent to Chins
by the powers are for the protection OF
the ministers and no other purpose, 81
when the negotiations begin tor treat
les Of peace each power should first de-
clare an armistlcc."
