18.-The belief that the note of the

the results of the recent informal con-

The situation is apparently very
favorable to the early beginning Of ne
gotiatiOns for a preliminary settle
ment 1 believe that the next meeting
of the foreign ENJOYS Will virtually
settle all points of difference between
the representatives of the powers, who
will lose no time in presenting the De
mands.

China in a very critical position

Willingness to accept promptly the con-
ditiOns proposed.
1T is quite unlikely, if not impOs-
sible, that the Chinese court will return
to Pekin before next spring, but 1 do
not anticipate any serious delay in the

EUROPEANS CONTINUE TO KILL
AND LOOT NATIVES.

Correspondence of the Associated PresS)
Tien Tsin, Oct. p, 1900.-Reports from
all directions in Chill province indi-
cate that the imperial troops are at
least making a show Of Furnishing and
dispensing the Boxers. 1t is said in
reliable Chinese circles that this move
ment. which was promised by Ii Hung
Chang on his return from the south.
would assume larger and more general
proportions if the authorities were sure
of security from attacks on Imperial
troops by the allied forces This rear
was well grounded as was shown by
the reported attack of q body of French
on an imperial force of 1000 troops
which were operating to the south in
the direction of Pao Ting Flu
AS cabled the Associated Press, the
British column of the Pa0 Ting Flu ex-
petition commanded by General Lorne
Campbell found a small body of i'm
periaI troops at Wen Au Hsin, about
fifty miles southwest of here. These
men, on being Intercepted, asserted
that they had been sent out from Pa
chon to dispense the Boxers, and had
severely punished several villages and
killed more than 200 Boxers. While
returning to PachOn they met col
umu Of French who fired upon them
and dispersed them. General Campbell
took their arms and horses and re-
leased them.
At a number of villages scouting par
ties have found the heads of Boxers OF
the walls. AdVices from Ping Tu state
that 5000 men of Yuan's force have
killed a large number of Boxers, anC
there is scarcely a market town but
whose walls are adorned with tbs
CHASTITY evidences of punishment. Al
| Ping Tu City il is stated that among
the victims of Yuan's troops were {
number of mere lads whom the soldier:

BEGIN TARIFF WAR.
Germans Take Action Hostile to the
United States.


United States.
Berlin. Nov 18.-Count Kanitz, DR.
Lieber and other prominent members
of the reichstag have given notice Of
a bill to amend the tariff law by en-
powering a levy, under imperial decree
and with the approval of the bundles
rath, of ad vaIOrem duties on dutiable
goods from countries where German
goods are subjected to similar levies,
provided that the terms OF the existing
treaties are not thereby violated.
BY the provisions. additional duties
may be levied in the same manner up
TO 200 per cent of the tariff law or the
ad valorem duty on goods from cOun-
tries treating German ships or German
goods less favOTably than other ma
tions. while duty free goods under sim
liar circumstances may be subjected to
a duty not exceeding 40 per cent of their
value.
The decree would cease at any time
if the Teichstag withholds its assent.
The proposal has provoked lively
discussion in the press While the sign
ers do not include all the national lib
eraI and centrist members, they do
represent about half the membership
of the reichstag, and it is highly prob
able that the bill viii attract enough
support from the other sections to in
sure a majority.
One leading journal, commenting
upon the proposal, says that 1T means,
in a certain sense, a declaration ~Of a
