When woman feels that the response

from the allied column shah be allow
ca to enter Pekin unopposed and con-
duct the members of the legations and
their followers from the Chinese capt.
tai to Tien Tsin. While this last de-
mand might have been inferred from
the previous rejection by the United
States Of the proposal FOR Chinese es-
cort. 1t is now put forward as an ex-
act and unalterable demand which Chi
ma must accept Internationally if she
hopes to stay the advance of the inter-
national forces or hopes even to have
considered any other conditions of peace
which she may desire to put forward
to the offended powers.
The reply was sent to Ii Hung
Chang through Minister WI last night,
and as there are not the delays in COM
municating with him similar to those
in dealing with Pekin, it may be ex-
pected that the Chinese peace envoy
will be acquainted to-day with the po-
Sition OF the United States
A Member of the Cabinet
stated to-day that no consideration
would be given promises OF the Chinese
government until the demands that
have been made by this government
are actually and fully complied with
I'VE have made our demands on the
Chinese government" said this Official
'in very definite language, and in view
of that governments persistent failure
to meet them, although certainly fully
understanding them, more promises
will not now be considered. Nothing,
as l see it, will stop the march of the
relief force to Pekin, except the actual
delivery of our people now there. Tn
les they are put into our hands imme-
diately, the allied forces will continue
on into the Chinese capitaFwithout any
unnecessary delay. This peace edict.
however, looks as if the Chinese were
about ready to yield, They probably
will be disposed to take any steps ne
cessary to save their sacred city from
foreign intrusion"
The War Department was in receipt
of despatch from Gen. Chaffee, which
was said to have been badly mangled
in transmission, but so far as it had
been deciphered, it seemed to contain
nothing of startling import.
The Arrival of the Transport
Sumner at Nagasaki was announced at
the War Department, and was hailed
with considerable satisfaction, owing
to the fact that the portion of the Fiji
tenth Infantry which she, carries will
soon be available to reinforce Gen.
Chaffee. The large force of surgeons,
nurses. and hospital attendants on the
ship also will be welcome addition to
the hospital force now on shore in
China.
Gen. Barry, from whom the ldespatch
was received, is Gen. MacArthur's
chief of staff He goes on the Indiana
to Taku to inspect that port with
view to determining its availability as
a Chinese base Of supply. After this,
he will proceed to Manila.

MEMORANDUM.


Touching ~he Imperial edict
of August Sth, appointing LII
Hung Chang envoy. plenipOten-
tiary to conduct negotiations,
on the part of China, with the
powers, and the request for q
cessation of hOstilities pending
negotiations. communicated to
MIR. Adee, by Mr.. Wa on the 18th
of August, 1900.
The government of the United
States learns with satisfaction
of the appointment of Earl Lii
Hung Chang as envoy pientpo-
tentiary to conduct negotiations
with the powers, and will, on Its
part, enter upon such negOtia-
tions with n desire to continue
tne friendly relations so long
existing between the two cOun-
tries.
1t is evident that there can be
no general negotiation between
China and the powers so long
as the ministers of the powers
and the persons under their pro-
lection remain in their present
position of restraint and dam
ger. and that the powers cam
not cease their efforts for the
delivery of these representa-
tives, to which they are con-
strained by the highest consid-
eratiOnS of national honor, ex-
cepf under an arrangement adj
equate to accomplish "a peace
able deiiveraBce.
We are ready to enter into an
agreement between the powers
and the Chinese government for
a cessation of hostile demons
strations on condition that
sufficient body OF the forces
composing the relief expedition
shall be permitted to enter Pc
kin unmolested and to escort
the foreign ministers and resi-
dents back to Tien rsin, this
movement being provided for
and secured by such arrange
ments and dispositions of troops
as shall be considered satisfac-
ing the forces composing the
relief expedition.

HAVEN & SHOUTS LETTER.

New York. Jan 3.--(Special.) IA large
| line Of cotton contracts held for Specrla-
! tive account was liquidatcd during the
| early part Of the present Week. causing
| depression of about - points This
| movement. it is said. was helped along
| by selling advice widely disseminated and
| coming from source calculated to at-
| tract attention. The attempt to depress
| the market was however, not Il specula-
! tive success. and since this decline il has
! been quite strong. with no break in quo
! tatiCns for spot cotton at ANY point in
/ the South. An idea has been disSem-
mated that the month of January will
show an increased movement rs com
! pared with that period last year This
| has occaSioned Il certain degree of mn
| certainty as to the firnness with which
| spot cotton would be held under such
| circumstances, particularly in view of
| the fact that the time for active prepare
| tons for the new crop is close at hand.
| 1t must he recalled. however, that during
| the month of January last year. eXcep-
| tional cold temperatures throughout the
| South interfered materially with the
movement and that this fact should be
! taken into consideration i'm making the
| deduction from the current statistical
comparisons.
There is. of course, no question about
| an increase III the cotton acreage Of 1900.
| 1t is beyond doubt that it will be con-
siderable. But even if Il larger acreage
| is in prospect will the actual require
nents of spinners force them to pay high
| en- prices than is now ruling for spot cot
! ton?
! At the present time stocks at Liver
pool are but a little over half what they
were at the corresponding date last year,
| and it is not believed either English or
| Continental spinnerS are carrying any
| considerable supplies. Stocks at Ameri-
| can ports are large, but the amount of
.rtcn afloat. is the smallest in recent
| years and the interior stocks are not only
small. but holders are firm and the move
ment unusually light At the LIST of Jan
uary. the movement into sight foots UP
about tWo-thirdS of that of last year.
| There is said to be an enormous number
of orders to buy spots on any shading at
| interior points. During the last few
months, New England spinners are be-
| lieved to have bought literally, but they
are again i'm the market to an unexpected
extent. Much. however, depends on the
demand for spot cotton from Europe, and
should this come UP to expectations, it is
improbable that cotton prices will re-
! turn to the same level as has been re-
Gently seen.

the seizure Of German mail steamers was

COTTON.

New York, Jan. 6.--The cotton market
opened steady with prices unchanged
to four points lower and soon broke
badly under heavy liquidation of Jan
uary holdings. which in turn, undermined
long stuff in the later positions. Before
the downward movement was checked
the loss reached five to eight points.
Whereas some short selling was done on
the decline. the rank and file of the
bear faction took advantage OF the lower
prices TO cover up over the Sunday adj
jOurnment. There was no Indication of
manipulation in early trading. The
English cables We're disappointing. the
official adviceS reporting lower prices in

Selling orders from abroad helped to
depress sentiment here. Data from the
South reflected no change in conditions
there; the crop movement was tarCly and
the views OF holders extremely stiff in
spite of the irregularity in speculative
markets.
The market for futures closed steady
