a familiar method employed in the ruin

MINIS TIERS TO REACH
COMMON GROUND SOON
Hope Expressed That Powers Will Agree on Lines
Suggested by United States.
No Demands Will be Made Which China Cannot FuIfu-
Meeting Held at Pekin According to Instructions.

Washington, Dec. Administration
officials continue sanguine that the
ministers Of the powers at Picking will
soon reach a common ground of agree
ment in the demands to be made upon
the Chinese imperial government in
satisfaction for the Boxer outrages.
The state department is in communf-
cation with the ministers and ambas-
sailors Of the United States to the Eu-
ropean courts, and advices which have
come from them from time to time
lead the officials here to hope that the
powers VIII be brOJ hit TO the position
maintained by the United States in
dealing with the Chinese. viz: That
there should not be demands made
upon the imperial government which
II would be unable to fulfill. Our gov
eminent has persistently held TO this
view in the progress of the negotia-
tons by the ministers at Pekin. and
II the principles of this contention
can be maintained in the combined
note to be handed to the Chinese pIeni-
poteptiaries a decided advantage will
be had at the start The attitude of
our government on the subjct has been
made clear to Mr.. COHger. The meet
ing between him and the German and
British ministers yesterday at Pekin
presumably was in compliance with
this minister's latest instructions from
Washington. Nothing has been heard
from Mr.. Conger by the state depart
ment for several days.

work.
Some progress has also been made

years
The report says that the forecast ser
vice has been strengthened, and that
the approach of all dangerous tropical
storms, the movement of cold waves
and the occurrence of killing frosts and
heavy snow have been accurately fore
casted. Three destructive hurricanes
passed the West Indies and moved
northeastward during the year The
most destructive was that which devas-
