Treaty to Be Rejected

Washington, Nov. 26.-The state de-
partment has been informed Of the
agreement or understanding or preIimI-
nary treaty, reached by the foreign
ministers at Pekin, but il is not re

formation regarding it. It may he stat
ed, however, that the arrangement
stands d very poor chance of receiv-
ing the sanction of all the powers rep
resented in the Pelin conference I'm
less some material amendments are
permitted.

ion as to the proposition that the Taku
forts be dismantled. He also withheld
his approval of the French proposition
that there be perlGenent military Oc-
CupatiOn at two or three points on the
road between Tien Tsin and Pekin.
There is some reason to believe that
the indemnity proposition has taken
such an extreme form as to make it
impossible for the Chinese government
