THE POWERS UNREASONABLE,
Negotiations Blocked by Conditions
to Which China Cannot Submit.

Negotiations Blocked by Conditions
to Which China Cannot Submit.
a very strong feeling of irritation and
concern prevails in Government circles
over the attitude of a majority of the
Powers in the Chinese negotiations, as
expressed through the ministers at Pekin.
It is contended at the State Department
that the negotiations have taken a turn
for the worse through the imposition by
the foreign representatives Of conditions
which the Chinese are utterly unable to
fulfill In consequence of this, it is claim
ed, the Powers in order to accomplish
anything at ali, will be obliged to modify
their own conditions and thus place them
selves in humiiiating position before
the world.
Amazernent is expressed by the officials
il particular over the attempt of the for
eign representatives to have the Chinese
Government carry out executions of dig
nitaries by the wholesale. These dignita-
ries are powerful and by combination
might overthrow even the nominal power
which the Emperor now holds. To COM
pei the Emperor to endeavor to carry out
a comprehensive programme of capital
punishment would result inevitably. ii is
predicted, in the assassination of the EN-
peror and bring about a condition of un-
certainty and renewal OF disorder to
which the recent troubles would be as a
mere drop in the bucket

PEKIN, Nov is. via Taku. Nov IL, and
Shanghai. Nov. .IS.-The arrangements pre-
liulinary 70 peace pegatiations conducted by
the foreign minister's have not yet been
completed as far as the representatives OF
the Powers are concerned. Frequent stumb-
ling blocks are met. delaying the formation
Of plan to be pursued in dealing with the
Chinese rlenipotentiaries.
The ministers are far from satisfied with
the attitude assumed by the Chinese Court.
They are Of the opinion that the proposed
punishment Of the offending princes and
other high officials is entirely inadequate
and point out that, while the penalties
recommended in some cases may appear to
be severe, il must be remembered that
these men are responsible for all the loss
of life durirs the recent uprising and that
they eountenaneed ali. sorts OF outrsges
against foreigners and native converts
There is zlso a feeling that whatever
penalties short of death may be proposed
by the Chinese authorities they viii never
be imposed upon the guilty parties for
the reason tha., when the excitement has
subsided, the culprits viii be able TO OBJ
tain pardons or procure substitutes to
serve their sentences.
The experience of foreigners with
Chinese mendacity leads many TO believe
that the Empress Dowager and her sup
porters are really as insincere as ever
and that the apparently honest effort to
eenaIize those responsible for the bloody
uprising IS made simply for the purpose
of quieting the worldwide demand for
Justice II IS feared that the criminal
princes will never be subjected to the
penalties imposed and that the sounding
edicts Of degradation and Imprisonment
are merely farcicaI.
Many of the foreigners in the Chinese
Capital cling to the opinion that the pun
ishment of Tuan and other leaders of the
rebellion should be capital and that il
should be inflicted publicly, SO as to con-
vince the world that justice has been done
and serve as a warning TO others who may
contemplate the wholesale slaughter OF
foreigners.
There is still considerable complaint
about the actions of the German soldiers
in the neighborhood of Chou-chou, and the
missionaries have now taken the matter
up. Some Of the charges are TO the ef-
feet that the soldiers have outraged wo-
men and demanded money from the Chi
nese officials of villages.
In reply to the complaints of the mis-
sionaries Field Marshal Won Waldersee
declared that he had stopped looting in
the south and restored order.

DUNMORE DOINGS.
Water Companies Can't Agree on
Terms and the Borough Goes
Without Water as the Result.

The scarcity Of water in this borough
is becoming very serious proposition.
The water supply was shut off yester-
day afternoon at o'clock and con-
sumers were informed that it would
not be turned on again until this
| morning.
For the past few nights the water
has been turned off at s o'clock, but
turning it off at o'clock came very
sudden and Unexpectedly to the citi-
zens Of the borough. The water which
has been coming through the pipes for
the past few days has been Of such
a quality as to render it unfit for
drinking o cooking purposes.
1t is dark brown color and is al
most too muddy for rough cleaning
purposes. The inhabitants have been
Obliged to skirmish around after we'll
water and have been put to great in
convenience.
A visit to the Dunmore Water COM
pany's reservoir yesterday revealed
the fact that it is almost empty. Only
pool covering about one hundred
square yards remains, and this is
almost as highly colored as the sur
rounding earth.
Inc Dunmore water company has
been endeavoring to enter into an
agreement with the Scranton Gas and
Water company for the obtaining OF
temporary supply from the latter's
splendid system but neither can agree
upon terms, the latter company de-
manding more than the former feeels
1t can pay. The connection are all
made and a plenteous supply of pure
water is ready to be turned into the
borough mains, but no agreemnt has
as vt been reached.
A committee from the borough coun-
Gil waited upon President Scranton
yesterday and urged him to do all in
his power to make satisfactory terms
with the Dunmore company. The out
come of this conference will be
watched with interest.

Yesterday Afternoons Fire.

The excitement incidental to an
alarm of fire in West Scranton, es-
pecially late in the afternoon, Is
something remarkable as was fully
attested at 4.3O o'clock yesterday af-
ternoon, when an alarm was turned in
from box "a, corner of North Main
avenue and West Lackawanna avenue.
The fire in itself was only trivial
a stove-pipe having been blown down
in Il summer kitchen in the rear of
McAndrews hotel, near swetland
street. But to see Ed. Pethrick drive
the Columbias chemical apparatus up
Main avenue is treat which is worth
more than passing notice. Hundreds
of children gather on the thorougfare,
mothers with babes in their arms rush
out Of doors and join in the crowd
that follows in the wake Of the fire.
men, business men and clerks drop
their work and rush to the front doors
of their stores, and for the time being
everything seems to be temporarily
suspended.
Then there is George Myers, who
operates the Chemical, standing on
the rear of the fire-fighting machine,
pumping up the pressure on the hose
as If it was play to ride on that mar
row step. The horses are imbued with
the spirit Of the occasion, and seem to
know that every eye il centered on
their movements. The F'ranklin's hose
wagon was again in service yesterday,
after having been repaired and paint
ed, and their men also responded to
duty's call with much speed and alac-
rity. The local service is second to
none in the city.
