AGREEMENT NOT SATISFACTORY.
United states VIII Hold Ont for Important
Notifications at pekin.

The State Department has been in
formed Of the agreement or understand
ing or preliminary treaty Qt is not possi-
bic now 10 learn in just what form the
matter stands reached by the foreign
ministers at PelIin. II is not regarded
as proper TO give out for publication at
this time any detailed information re-
specting the agreement IL may be stated,
however that the agreement stands a
very poor chance of receiving the sanction
OF all the powers represented in the Pc
kin conference, unless some material
amendments are permitted.
Just what the Objectionable features are
only can be surmised, In view OF the ad-
verse decision Of the authorities respect
ing publication. But, accepting as aecu-
rate the statement from Pekin that the
basis OF the agreement is TO be found In
the French note, il is easy to perceive
that there are no less than two points
which, II concluded In their original shape,
would not meet with the unqualified APP
proval or our own government. For in
stance, the President expressly reserved
his opinion as to the proposition that the
Taku forts be dismantled. He also with
held his approval of the French propo-
sition that there be permanent military
occupation at two or three points on the
road between Tientsin and Pekin.
There were several points TO which the
assent OF the United States was given,
ramely. providing for The punishment OF
the guilty Chinese who may be designat-
cd by the representatives OF TIE powers al
Pekin; for the collection OF equitable in
IDENTITIES land In this connection our
government suggested reference OF The
subject 10 the Hague tribunaD, and, final
ly. for the maintenance of a legation
guard at Pekin. The latter, however, wa 4
20 be temporary until Congress acted on
the matter.
Unless the ministers al pekln have
made a very substantial change in the re-
quirements Of the French note. therefore
IL may be predicted that our governmen,
will feel obliged 20 seek 10 make some al
teration In the arrangement before i,
gives its adherence There Is some reason
10 believe that the indemnity proposition
has taken such an excessive form as 10
make il impossible for the Chinese gov
arnment 10 meet the demand. and this
fact. taken in connection with the unrea-
EOnabie demands OF some OF the powers
respecting punishmsnts, may require our

Address 10 Constitutional Cenyentiun
Also Meets With Rejection
Municipal lIrregalariIies.

Havana. Nov. Sat the opening OF to-
days session Of the Cuban constitutional
convention. Senor de Quesada moved the
rejection of the resolution introduced Sat
uTday by Senores Rivero, Cisneros. and
Nilluandas. expressing the SORROW OF the
convention at the departure of Gen. Fitz-
hugh Lee. The resolution was thereupon
rejected unanimously.
Senor RiverO said after the session that
some of the delegates intended to attack
Gen. Lee on the ground that he had not
always been a friend OF the Cubans. and
that. in view OF this, Gen. Lees friends
thought Ii would be better not to press
the resolution of regret
Senior Gualberto Gomez notified the con-
vention that he would present for consld-
Grafton motion in answer TO Gen.
Woods address to the convention.
Gen. Sanguily Immediately objected on
the ground that such proposal would be
entirely out of place. as the address was
in the form of a military order which
could not be answered by the convention.
He urged that It would be wiser 10 leave
the subject alone, as any discussion Of It
might cause iil-feeling between the con-
vention and the military.
Senor de Quesada moved that in the
judgment Of the convention Gen. Woods
address should not under any eonsidera-
ton be answered by the convention, and
this was carried unanimously.
Senor Gomez. evidently much disaD-
pointed. explained that his intention had
been miscOnstrued, as he had not meant
any discourtesy, and the discussion. in his
opinion, would have shown the military
authorities that the convention had no
idea Of interfering with the present gov
ernment, and that the United States need
have no fear OF any action on the part Of
the delegates.
Senior Capote, president OF the conven-
ton, divided the convention into commit
tees OF five and appointed Senior Llorents
and Gen. Sanguilly members OF the com-
mittee on phraseology
The convention granted Senior Cisner01
leave of absence for a month. and then
adjourned until Wednesday.

Senor Tamayo. secretary Of government,

of any standard. Some appeals have been
established against the municipalities de-
cisions. Others have not. What guaran-

way to recover damages in such case.

Lincoln, Nebr., Nov. 26.-The matter OF
G. II. Dietrich's ineligibllity to take the

statement in his affidavit Of campaign eI.

paid "Morearty, for banquet and barbe-
cue, $25," and some other similar ex-
penses. These items are expressly pro-
hibited, the penalty being disqualification
OF the elected official and a fine or i'm
prisonment for six months.
Chairman Edmisten, Of the Populist
state committee, said tonight: There Is
no question that Mr.. Dietrich Is ineligible.
The best legal authority obtainable is a
unit on this proposition. We have there
fore determined 70 take steps under the
law to prevent his acting as governor of
