RESTRICTIVE LEGISLATION

since that decision the United States dis.

that when there was big strike OF min.

GERMANY's SECOND NOTE.
The Powers Should Make Sure the Right Men
Are Fittingly Punished.
(By the Associated Press. J


Berlin, Oct. 4.-Germany has issued a
second note to the powers regarding the
method of securing punishment for those
guilty of the outrages in China. This note
is issued as a result OF the edict of the
Emperor of China beginning proceedings
against Prince Tuan and others. The
new note is as follows:
"The Emperor of China has addressed
to the powers an edict dated September
25th, in which he orders the punishment
of a number of princes and dignitaries,
mentioned by name, for having encour-
aged the Boxers. On the assumption that
the edict is genuine, the German Govern
ment, in furtherance of the proceedings,
proposed in its circular note of Septcm-
Der 18th, has further proposed to the
powers to come to an agreement to in
struct their diplomatic representatives in
China to examine and give their opinion
on the following points:
'First-Whether the list contained in
the edict of persons to be punished is
sufficient and correct?
"Second-Whether the punishments pro-
posed meet the case?
"Third-In what way the powers can
control the carrying out of the penalties
imposed?"
The information received up to the pres
ent concerning the reception of this pro-
posal by the powers justifies the belief
that general unders sanding of this mat
ter may be looked fors
