Reached by Foreign Ministers Want
ed at Washington = Americans
Achieving Success.
WASHINGTON. Nov. 29.-The state
department has cabled Minister Conger
TO forward the text of the agreement
reached by the foreign ministers at Pe-
kin. Meanwhile he win withhold his
signature until the President has had an
opportunity to satisfy himself as to
this important document and to mako
such changes as will bring 1t in ac-,
cord with our policy.
1t is safe 10 predict that this parties
ular agreement win not become effective
IN tsrpresent shape. 1t appears that,
upon inquiry directed TO the powers
themselves, their minister's at PeRfn
have not correctly reflected their press
ent views as TO the basis of the peace
negotiations. This statement certain-
ly is true as to n majority of the pow-'
ers interested, and the fact Is regarded
as wnrranting the prediction that the
/, agreement must be modified or aban-
doncd.
Valuable Personal Results. K
It is learned at the state department
that while these negotiations are drag
ging along at Pekin. some OF the
American corsuis In China are achiev-
ing practical and valuable results by In
dividual efforts. They Hre addressing
themselves In cases directly to the vice.
roys OF the great provinces where
American property interests may have
suffered, TO secure indemnity and rop-
aration. and In most cases they are sue
ceedinE very well. 1t is surnised from
the latest Chinese advlces that the
English consuls are doing likewise, and
are collecting many claims. and the
moneys are being turned over to tho
mission interests which suffered. II
this movement continues, It IS entirely
possible that neither the United States
nor Great Britain will be obliged to con-
cern themselves with the prosecution OF
individual claims for Indemnity through
the stow-moving agencies at Pektn.

OF New York Discussed in Open
Meeting by Reform Committee.
Conditions Found to be Bad. n
NEW YORK, Nov. 2S.--The tenement
house committee held an open meeting
to-day. at which the question OF Vice
and prostitution IN the tenements." was
discussed by the special committee OF
the committee appointed for the pur-
pose Of investigating this feature OF ten-
ement house life. The Rev. Dr.. Robert
L. Paddock Of the Protestant Episco-
pal pro-cathedral, said that the condi-
tons as found by him In the course of
his work In what Is known geographic
cally as the Eighth assembly district,
were very bad. exceedingly bad. He
said he had talked With many police
men. postmen and others whose duties
took them into the. tenement houses and
their verdict had Invariably been that
there was o very large number of the
tenement houses in which apartments
were rented to women for immoral pur-
poses with the knowledge Of the land
lord, the agent or housekeeper, and the
other tenants OF the building. He had
had hundreds of complaints from par
cnts rs to the moral effect OF this con-
dition of affairs upon the young girls
and boys of the district and stated that
to his certain knowledge there were
many men and women whose sole bus
mess was the procuring or young girls
10 enter those tenement house apart
maRts and lead a life OF immortality.
DIR. Paddock gave II as his opinion
that the dark and unlighted Railways
of the tcnemeuts were the chief reasons
for the prevalence of the vice in that
district. 1t was there, he said, that
small children first came into tempta-
)tion and he suggested that the laws re-
quiring the halls to be lighted be rig
idly enforced
DR.. Paddock stated further that he
considered the gambling evil one OF the
most closely associated with that of
prostitution. He also declared that he
considered that the moral standard of
the entire east side had been lowered by
close and intimate association with the
women who live In flats and houses in
the so-called Red Light districts
