WAITING FOR THE PRESIDENT.
OF FRENCH NOTE POSTPONED
UNTIL HIS ARRIVAL

Washington, Oct. 7-Developments Of any
consequence in the Chinese situation are not
looked for until after the return Of President
Mckinley TO the capital He IS expected on
Tuesday morning, and on the afternoon Of that
day Cabinet meeting probably will be held.
when the question presented by the French note
will be gone over in informal way The
French note, which recently has been addressed
10 the Powers. is not regarded just now as
needing pressing action as several of the ma
tions interested already have instructed their
representatives in Peking to ascertain whether
the imperial edict completely names the persons
deserving Of punishment, and other parts Of the
French proposal contain propositions which can
remain in abeyance. This Government will not
consider seriously the propositions which look
70 the prohibition Of the importation Of arms
into China and the dismautling of the fortffca-
tons. Interest meanwhile centres in the report
which Mr. Couger will make regarding the
adequacy Of the punishments to be meted out
by the Chinese Government to those persons
who were instrumental in the Boxer revolt and
the future course Of this Government may de-
pend largely on the Investigations. No advices
have come as yet from Mr.. Conger on this sub
Ject' but this is not surprising. the work to
be undertaken is of considerable magnitude
The War Department officials expect that all
the American troops which are to be sent from
Peking to Manila will be out of China by Oc-
tober 21
Such efforts as have been made by the State
Department urging the return Of the Imperial
family to the capital city seem up to this time
to have been Intellectual The last official ad-
vices Of Minister WI indicated their intention
OF going to si-Ngan-Fu, in the Province of
Shen-Se, which is further to the west than thev
now are. The fact that the acting governor of
the province was directed to refrain from all
extravagant preparations in making arrange
nents for the Imperial family, is, in Mr. Wu's
mind, an indication that their sojourn at ST.
Ngan-Fu is TO be temporary. Conditions re-
specttng the question of food and teIegraphic
communication were unsatisfactory in Tai
Yuan, in Shan-Se Province where the Court
has been located since its departure from
Peking, and these essential requisites improved
in their new abode. Mr.. WI believes that Earl
Ii, the principal peace negotiator already has
started for Peking as a message Of several days
ago indicated that it was impossible to reach
him by telegraph at Tien-Tsin, as he had started
for the capital.

concerts for working people yesterday afternoon IN
the Murray Hill Lyceum, Thirty-fourth-st. and

though Miss Markstein has devoted much time in
seeking to cultivate a liking for good music among
the working people.
President Guggenheimer Of the Municipal Council
was to make an address, but he had attack of
infiarnmatory rheumatism, and Jocelyn Johnstone
appeared for him. The latter read the address

"BECOHING A REPORTER"
HINTS GIVEN BY REQUEST TO A YOUNG
MAN IN SPECIFIC CONTEMPLATION"

The glow Of good cheer at the sense of a duty
done always warns the heart of one who has
given advice to a fellow creature in need. He is
hard and uncharitable man who will not give ad-
vice freely when it is asked for It is asked for in
the following letter TO The Tribune:

siye 70 becoming a reporter the same shall be
Trusting TO hear from you soon. 7 am your most
obedient servant.
On the other side OF the sheet are the young
mans name and address, but they cannot be given
here, because printers cannot print from copy

ably do no good to offer any such trite counsel 70

That would be the most honest advice. but doubt
less this young man means TO be one anyway, so
the best that be done for him is 10 tell him
few things the suppostion that there is no turn
ing him back.
Well, then, make figures so that there will be no
doubt about them. The '1lO words per minute"
mentioned in this letter might easily be mistaken
for 10 words If that speed not quite incred-
ibe.
Be sure that you know the meaning Of the words

Jion" a good deal If you not sure Of the
meaning Of a word that you feel tempted to use
look in the dictionary. This is better way than
simply dropping it and finding a word that you
are sure Of, because. even If the word which
you look up turns out to be the wrong one It may
be the right other time and then you
will have IT ready II you feel perfectly sure Of
the meaning of the word lcok it up anyway and
