Must Erect a Monument to
Baron VOn KOtteIGr
and Apologize TO GERMANY
Terms Which Probably Will be Press
ed Upon China as the Basis Of
Preliminary Treaty

London, Nov. 13-Dr. Morrison,
wiring to The Times from Pekin on
Sunday, says:
Pressed by the common desire for
q speedy termination of present con-
ditions. the foreign ENJOYS have final
ly agreed to the following terms, to be
presented in a conjoint note which,
subject to the approval of the govern
ments, will be pressed upon China as
the basis of a preliminary treaty:
China shall erect a monument to
Baron Won Kettler on the site where
he was murdered and send an imperial
prince to Germany to convey an
apology. She shall inflict the death
penalty upon IL princes and officials
already named and suspend provincial
examinations for five years where the
outrages occurred. In future all Of
flcials failing to prevent anti-foreign
outrages within their jurisdiction shall
be dismissed and punished. (This is
a modification of the Conger proposaD.
Indemnity shall be paid to the
states, corporations and individuals.
The tsung-li-yamen shall be abolished
and its functions vested IN a foreign
miaister. Rational intercourse shall
be permitted with the emperor, as in
civilized countries.
.'The forts at Taku and the other
forts on the coast Of Chi Ii shall be
razed and the importation of arms and
war material prohibited. Prominent
legation guards shall be maintained
and also guards Of communication be-
tween Pekin and the sea.
Imperial proclamations shall be
posted for two years throughout the
empire suppressing Boxers.
THE indemnity is to include COM
pensation for Chinese who suffered
through being employed by foreigners,
but not compensation for native Chris
tians. The words missionary and
Christians do not occur in the note"
Commenting upon that it calls Mr..
Conger's excellent suggestion for the
dismissal OF officials permitting anti
foreign outrages," The Times remarks
that this is the only considerable ad-
dition to the terms which the min
listers proposed to submit to China last
month.
1t says that American sense Of JUS
tice and humanity is too strong and
American intelligence too keen to be
deluded by the pitiful Chinese appeal
against the execution Of the Pao Ting
Flu officials"
