The President Asks the Members of
His Cabinet to Remain

Washington, Nov. 12.-President
Mckinley today announced clearly
and forcefully to the members of his
cabinet his desire that they should all
remain with him during the four years
of his coming administration. His
wishes were made known in an ex-
tended speech at the cabinet meeting
in the White House today. Re
sponses were made by all the members
present and while there were no def
mite pledges from any of them that
they would accept the portfolios thus
rendered afresh, there was, on the
other hand, no definite declination.

Extent of Freight Car Shortage.

From the indianapolis Journal
"How are freight matters ?" was
asked of the general agent of the Van
derbilt fast freight lines.
Rates." said he, "are no more mem
toned, cars being the question. You
may think it an eXaggeration, but'to-
day had | at command 1000 cars
could place them for loading in forty
eight hours, In my long railroad ca
reer have neverknown similar condit-
ions. We have many times been short
of cars in this territory, but could al
most always draw on other territory
where traffic was light and keep some
where in sight of the calls for cars;
but at present the shortage is confined
to no one part of the country, and the
situation has reached such stage that
it is with great difficulty that a con-
Meeting line can be induced to let
car go beyond the first gateway where
it is possible to transfer the freight.
This year southern and northern
lines are using every car they can com
mand. Reports from southern roads
are much the same as in Central Traf-
tic association territory.
''The general increase in business is
in all classes and is responsible for the
shortage this season."

Debating TO CHINA
The Powers Agree Upon the Basis for
a Peace Treaty

London, Nov. 13.-Dr. Morrison,
writing to the Times from Pekin Sun
day, says;
Pressed by the common desire for
a speedy termination of present con-
ditions, the foreign ENJOYS have
finally agreed to the following terms.
to be presented in conjoint note
which, subject to the approval of the
governments, will be pressed upon
China as the basis of preliminary
treaty:
'China shall erect monument to
Baron Won Ketteler on the site where
he was murdered and send an imperial
prince to Germany to convey an
apology. She shall inllict the death
penalty upon seven princes and of
ficials already named and suspend
provincial examinations for five years
where the outrages occurred. In
future, all officials failing to prevent
anti-foreign outrages within their jur-
isdiction shall be dismissed and pun
ished. This is modification of Mr..
Conger's proposal).
Indemnity shall be paid to the
states, corporations and individuals.
The tsung-li-yamen shall be abolished
and its functions vested in foreign
minister. Rational intercourse shall
be permitted with the emperor, as in
civilized countries.
"The forts at Taku and other forts
on the coast of Chi Ii shall be RACED
and the importation of arms and war
material prohibited. Permanent le-
CATION guards shall be maintained
and also guards of communication
between PelSin and the sea.
Imperial proclamations shall be
posted for two years throughout the
empire suppressing the Boxers.
"lhe indemnity is to include COM
pensation for Chinese who suffered
through being employed by foreigners
but no compensation for native Chris
tians. The words missionary and
Christians do not occur in the note"

While the merchant is not permit
ted to lease land in China and re-
side inland, the right of missionaries
TO do so is now well established This
remarkable anomaly is due to the
fact that French missionary, who
was employed as an interpreter, sur
reptitiously introduced into the Chi
nese text of the supplementary treaty
of 1860 between France and China the
following clause: "It is. i'm addition,
permitted to French missionaries to
rent and purchase land in all the
provinces and to erect buildings
thereon at pleasure" This clause was
not discovered by the Chinese gov
eminent until it was too late to dis
avow it without losing face. The
French missionaries promptly acted
upon the right thus secured. and the
English and American missionaries
did not hesitate to claim the same
right under the most favored nation
clause. Subsequently the Chinese
government, under pressure from the
powers, formally acknowledged the
right of missionaries of all nationali-
ties TO reside inland for the purpose
of propagating Christianity.-Mar Il.
