THE JOINT CHINESE NOTE.


Washington, Dec. 17.-Officials here
are at loss to understand the rea-
sons for the important modification
in the joint Chinese note which, it
is reported, the British minister TO
Pekin is to demand before signing
that document preparatory to its pre-
sentation to the Chinese plenipoten-
tiaries. They have no information
on the subject, as nothing has been
heard from Mr.. Conger on the matter
for some days. The understanding
here has been that the joint note as
agreed upon by the powers was IN
the main satisfactory to the BRUSH
government. She simply desired a
slight amendment, said to be in the
nature of a mere change in style OF
language to be used rather than any
amendment to the scope of the agree
ment. This did not conflict with any
of the principles held out for by our
government, such being the case II
was confidently expected the sigma
ture of the British minister would
be promptly affixed to the agreement
