who had taken another direction, was
summoned, but no attempt was made to
remove the body until Coroner Freligh
arrived at about midnight. Coroner Ere
Ugh, in speaking Of the matter yester-
day, said:
1.-THE body was jack-knifed over little
birch tree, growing on the side of the
cliff, and there was a terrible look of
agony on Anderson's face. 1 made an
examination of the body, but no bones
were broken. The only thing 1 could
find was a black streak across the young
fellows stomach. He was also scratched
a little above one of his eyes. It doesn' t
seem to me that the fall was sufficient to
cause his death, and he may have died
from exposure or from fright
According to the statement of Coroner
Freligh it was hard thing to get at the
body. There were no means of descent,
and the searcEers were obliged to procure
rope, and this they fastened to a tree
and one of them lowered himself down
over the cliff and fastened a rope around
the body. In this manner it was raised
The cliff is very steep, and if the body
had not struck the birch tree 1t would
have shot down over the cliff a distance
of from 200 to 800 feet.

PEKTN, Dec. 3.-All the foreign eus
vOys have now heard from their govern-
ments regarding the joint note OF the
Chinese plenipotentiaries, and a meeting
will be held tomorrow. The ENJOYS are
not coplmunica tive, but enough is known
with reference to the objections Of die-
ferent governments to make 1t seem
doubtful that the meeting will have satS
isfactory conclusion.
Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang both
say that they are anxiously awaiting the
demands of the powers. They declare
that China desires peace at any price
commensurate with the dignity of an In
dependent nation. but they point out that
so long as large foreign army occupies
the province of Chi Ii the problem will
be harder to solve. The missionaries and
others who went through the siege pro+
test bitterly against any suggestion Of
leniency. They urge particularly that
those who are high in office and WHO
were really responsible for the outrageS
to foreigners. should be executed. And
they insist also that a sufficient forcS
should be kept in China to guarantee
order and to Keep foreigners fndependS
ent of the Chinese, declaring that if
this is not done repetition Oh
the troubles is inevitable.
