they will be able to control at least 500
men, who are not organized, but who are
in sympathy with the movement.

talk on the streets today, but nothing in
the way of a demonstration. Strong eff
forts will be made to get the unions
everywhere to boycott Tampa cigars, and

THE MINISTERS

This Agreement.
BASED ON FRENCH NOTE
So It Is Stated, but the Matter Is
Yet Secret.
EXCESSIVE DEMANDS MADE ON CHINA
Our Government May Make Strong Efforts to
Have Them Moderated, and Another
Powerful Government May Lend
lis Support.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, Nov. 26.-The State De-
partment has been informed of the agree
ment or understanding or preliminary
treaty, cit is not possible now to learn in
just what form the matter stands),
reached by the Foreign Ministers at Pc
kin. 1t is not regarded as proper to give
out for publication at this time any de-
tailed information respecting the agree
ment. 1t may be stated, however, that
the agreement stands a very poor chance
of receiving the sanction of all the pow
ers represented in the Pekn conference,
unless some material amendments are
permitted. Just what the Objectionable
features are, only can be surmised, in
view of the adverse decision of the au-
thorities respecting publication. But. ac-
cepting as accurate the statement from
Pekin that the basis of the agreement is
to be found in the French note, 1T is
easy to perceive that there are no less
than two points which, if concluded in
their original shape, would not meet with
the unqualified approval of our own gov
eminent. For instance the President ex-
pressly reserved his opinion as to the
proposition that the Taku forts be dis
mantled. He also withheld his approval
of the French proposition that there be
a permanent military occupation at two
or three points on the road between Tien
Tsin and Pekin.
Unless the ministers at Pekin have
made a very substantial change in the
requirements of the French note, there
fore, it NAV be predicted that our Gov
eminent will feel obliged to seek tomake
some alterations in the arrangement be-
fore it gives its adherence. There is some
reason to believe that the indemnity
proposition has taken such an excessive
form as to make it impossible for the
Chinese Government to meet the de-
mand, and this fact, taken in connection
with the unreasonable demands of some
Of the powers respecting punishments,
NAV REQUIRE our government to make
active efforts to have the demands mod
Grated. There are indications too, that
in these efforts, our government is to re-
ceive the support of one of the most

generally has been supposed of late to
hay favord an xtrme position.
