worthy act by the allies and as sign
Of Indifference by the Chinese. We urge

here to secure the protection OF Ameri-
can mercantile and missionary interests

cal note is as follows
The emperor. of China has addressed to
tn ePowers an edict dated Sept. 2oth,
from which he orders the punishment OF
a number of princes and dignitaries men
toned by name for having encouraged
the Boxers.
ON the assumption that the edict is gem
uine, the German government In fur-
therance of the procedure proposed IN
its circular note OF Sept. nth, has further
proposed TO the Powers to come to an
agreement To instruct their diplomatic
representatives in China To examine and
give their opinion i'm following points:
L. Whether me list contained in the
edict of persons TO be punished Is suffi-
cient and correct.
2. Whether the punishment proposed
meets the case.
g. In what way the Powers can control
the carrying out OF the penalties imposed.
The Information received up To the pres
ent concerning the reception of this pro-
posal by the Powers justifies the belief
that a general understanding on this mat
ter may be looked for.
