FRANCHISE LAW FOR GEORGIA

New York, Oct. PA dispatch to
the Herald, from Pekin says: The
preliminary convention between China
and the combined powers has been pro-
posed by Prince Ching and LII Hung
Chang, as follows Article Laying
siege to the legations of foreign min
listers is high offense against one of
the important principles of interna-
tional law. No country can possibly
tolerate such thing. China acknowl-
edges her great fault in this respect
and promises it will never occur again.
Article 2. China admits the liabili-
ty to pay indemnity for the various
losses sustained in this occasion and
the powers will each appoint officials
to examine and present all claims for
final consultation and settlement.
Article 3. AS to the future trade and
general international relations, each
power should designate how these mat
ters are to be dealt with, whether the
old treaties should continue or new
conventions should be made slightly
adding to the old treaties or cancel
ling the Old treaties, for n~.,Stiating
new ones. Any of these plans may be
adopted aud when China approves
them further special regulations can
be made in each case as required.
Article A. This convention will be
made by China with the combined pow
ers to cover the general principles
which apply alike to all. This settled
the foreign ministers will remove the
seals they have caused to be placed
in the various parts of the Tsung Ii
Yamen, then the yamen ministers may
go to the yamen and attend to bust
ness as usual. And further. each pow
er should arrange its own special
affairs with China so that separate
treaties may be- settled in due order.
When various items of indemnity are
all arranged properly or an understand
ing has been reached about them.
the powers will successfully withdraw
their troops.
Article 5. The troops sent to China
by the powers are for the protection of
ministers and no other purpose, SO
when the negotiations began for the
treaties of peace each power should
first declare armistice."
