THE PEACE
NEGOTIATIONS.
An Opinion that They Should be
Transferred to Washington or a
European Capital.
CRITICAL STAGE REACHED.
When Once Terms Have Been Agreed Upon
They Should be Presented as De-
mand Not Requiring Any Furth-
er Negotiations.

London, November ga dispatch to
Reuters News Agency from Pekin says
Competent and independent judges
present that critical stage of the
negotiations has been reached and opine
that the consideration of all peace
preliminaries should be transferred to
Washington or European capital and
be placed in the hands Of plenipoten-
taries possessed'of full powers to arrange
terms to be imposed on China. When
once terms are agreed on they should be
presented, as a demand not requiring
negotiations with Chinese commissioners.
Berlin, Nov 23.-Field Marchal Count
Won Waldersee cables that Colonel
Yorcks column reached Hsuenghiva on
November 18th. The weak garrison
Immediately surrendered. The column
commanded by Colonel Muielfuels is
proceeding to Aukiachelan.
UNCLE SANS SUGGESTIONS.
Washington, D. c., Nov. 23.-The
secretary of state has addressed an
identical note to the powers interested
in the Chinese situation, setting out
tersely and afresh the object of the
United States government as to China,
and pointing out how such objects as
are common to the powers can best be
secured. The note marks the initiation
for fresh negotiations. 1t is believed
that the note is an appeal from the ex-
treme course suggested by some of the
powers as to the treatment in China,
especially in the matter of punishment
and indemnities.
A FRIENDLY RESULT.
Berlin, Nov. 23-United States Am
bassador White had an important in
terview yesterday with Baron Won
Richthofen,- secretary for foreign af-
fairs. 1t is understood that the inter-
view took place as the result of in
structions cabled from Washington
and had reference entirely to the ideas
of the United States government re-
garding the prosecution of the war in
China and the cooperation of the
United States with Germany and other
European powers and regarding the
conditions for peace. 1t is also under
stood that the most satisfactory and
friendly result was reached, that Is
calculated to put at rest the diseniet-
ing rumors recently circulated regard
ing the exhibitions of i'll feeling toward
Germany in the American press.
