Ministers Demand Death of IL Chinese
COnspIrRtOrH.

AT meeting Friday of the ministers of
the ten powers represented at Pekin it was
unanimously decided to demand the execu-
ton of Prince Tuan and four other Man
chu princes, one duke and three ministers,
the nine who were named for punishment
in the imperial edict of Sept. 25 end in
addition YuHsien, the governor Of Shansi
province, and Gen. Tung Fuh Slang, max
ing IL in all. These comprise most of the
highest officials who were the leading spir-
its in the massacre of foreigners and are
thought richly to deserve death. There are
many other guilty officers, but none more
influential or ferocious. The execution Of
these II personages will substantially meet
the ends of justice and will remove the
worst obstacle to satisfactory settlement
and permanent peace. These men, if left
alive, would, it is felt, prove constant
menace to the future good government of
China and amicable relations with foreign
powers.
