Washington, nov. 3.-It was stated
Friday In quarters vel Tersed in Cha
nese affairs that outside Of the ques-
tons Of indemnity, Punishmentss etc.
now under negotiation at Pezin7
there are three vital and far-reaehing
Questions to be determined, VIZ: First,
the removal Of the empress dowager,
personally and through the influence
Of her advisers, from all participation
In the Chinese government; second,
the creation Of an indemnity fund
by the increase Of China's customs
revenue, either by the payment OF the
duties IN gold instead Of deprecated
silver as at present, or else by dOub-
ling the present silver duties from i've
per cent. to ten per cent. ad FalOrem;
epd, third, the establishment OF q
minister of foreign affairs, in place
Of the. old and cumbersome system Of
the tsung Ii yamen-
The demand for the retirement Of
the empress dOwager is said to result
from the conclusion now generally ac-
cepted that the imperial government
of China was responsible for the boxer
uprising. As the empress doWager
was the ruling authority of the I'M
perial government during the upris-
ing, this responsibility is brought
home directly to her. There is under
stood to be no purpose, however, to
visit upon her any personal punish
ment or indignity, but merely to 50
form the reconstructed government
as to exclude her from all participa-
ton in IT. 1t is deemed advisable for
that reason that she should remain
permanently away from Peldn, and
that her advisers also should be kept
away from the seat Of government.
The plan of doubling China's customs
duties has arisen from the need Of
finding a source to pay the war indem-
mites, which the various powers de-
mand.

~ Death sentsnces Approved

Pekin, Nov. 6.-Field Marshal Count
Won WaIdersee has confirmed the sen
tenee Of death passed by the interna-
tiOnal commission at Pao Ting Fu on
the ,sub-governOr Of that city, the
provincial treasurer and the judge, for
their completely in the murder Of
missionaries and Chinese converts.
This fact causes the greatest salts
faction among the foreigners here,
who are convinced that the leniency
with which, In their view, the guilty
Chinese have hitherto been treated
was not only totally undeserved but
mischievOus. The massacres at Pao
Ting Flu were as atrocious as the most
horrible that have been recorded and
the sentence is regarded as most de-
served. Nevertheless, 1t is believed
that some Of the ministers brought
pressure to bear on Count Won Wal
dersee not to confirm it on the ground
that if it were carried out 1t would
be likely to brighten the emperor and
prevent his return to Pekin-

adequate punishment for such inhu-
