the reported acceptance Of Mr.. Conger's
amendments 10 the joint note and says:
1.-The names of the guilty are not speci-
fed. the stipulation only providing that
those princes and officials must be pun
shed who are recognized as guilty by the
Chinese government with the addition Of
others TO be hereafter designated by the
ministers. The practical result Of this
compromise is that the form of punishment
IL lett for the determination OF the En-
press dowager, who is the arch culprit.
The history OF the compromise is instruc-
tive The proposal came originally from
Japan. 1t was communicated TO Germany
and then TO Washington. Although the
amendments were presented by Mr.. Con-
ger, all the credit for securing softened
terms is given by the Chinese not to Japan
Or America, but to the Russians. who con-
tinue to handle the Chinese with consum-
mate dexterity."

MERELY A STATEMENT.


WASHINGTON. Dec. 6-All of the am
bassadors and nearly a majority o. the min
listers resident In Washington called on
Secretary Hay to-day. this being diplomatic
day. In the ease of the representatives of
those povers interested in the Chinese
question, il is understood there was some
exchanges between them and Secretary
Hay respecting the latest Developments at
Peking. There has been no word from Mr..
Conger since the dispatch to him of his in
structions to sign the agreement. 1t is as
sumed here that several days must elapse
before the formal signatures of all the DOW

CHICAGO. Dec. 6.-The slaughtering test
of blooded stock on exhibition at the in
ternational live stock exposition at the
Dexter Park pavilion was held to-day and
was watched by hundreds of stock raisers
interested in the results. Thirty cattle.
forty sheep and an equal number of swine
were put under the knives of the butchers
during the morning and the carcasses
placed in cold storage. where they will re-.
main until Saturday, when tests will be
made to determine the merits of various
feeds in the making of prime meats. The
judging of live stock was also concluded.
Among the awards announced to-day were
the following to Indianians:

Brookside farm, Fort Wayne; steer or
spayed heifer. six months to one year
(steer). Brookside farm.

Among the sales to-day We're the fol-
lowing: Schwarzchild a. Sulzberger. of
New York, bought Ii. r. Prices Aberdeen
Angus steer Advance for $3.50 a pound. This
was paid for beef on the hOOf, and as the
steer tipped the scale at 1,i30 pounds the
price was s2.145. Reduced to market retail
figures this would mean 800 apiece for
steaks and $40 a pound for roasts.
/. +. d. Southern. of Chillicothe. Mo-,
announced that before leaving for Chicago
he sold his prize Hereford beef steer to
l.. Weber, of Kansas City. for a price TO
be 3 cents per pound over the highest
priced steer sold at the International live
stock exposition. This made the price s1.53
per pound. As the steer weighed between
LOCO TO LOO pounds he cost Mr.. Weber
the tidy sum of about $3.50. He was
slaughtered to-day by Armour & Co. and
dressed 50 per cent. of live weight. He is
undoubtedly the highest priced beef steer
ever sold i'm the world. although the price
was not directly decided at the time of

he held a conference with Somers regarding

owing our carefully laid plans and have no
reason TO change them. There has been no
understanding between the leagues, and
the conferences between Mr.. Hart and my
self were not what they were represented
to be. We talked simply regarding grounds.
Mr.. Hart had no authority to talk for the
League and did not claim to have. No
agreement between the two leagues has

TOWNE GETS DOCUMENT
RECEIVES THE PAPERS APPOINTING
HIM UNITED STATES SENATOR.
Leaves st. Paul for Washington to
Begin His Brief ,Term-Says He
Is Opposed tn Ship Subsidies.

ST. PAUL, Dec. 6.-Former Congressman
Charles A. Towne this afternoon received
from Governor Lind the documents which
entitle him to a seat in the United States
Senate until the State Legislature. which
meets on the Sth of January, can elect a
successor to fill out the unexpired term of
the late Cushman X. Davis. Mr.. Towne
left tonight for Chicago, where his mother
will meet him and proceed with him to
Washington.
The latest announced candidate in the
senatorship race, which is to be decided by
vote Of the Legislature, is the Hon. Tams
Bixby, chairman of the Dawes Indian COM
mission.
Charles A. Towne is a native of Michigan,
is forty-one years of age and a graduate
OF the Michigan University academic and
law departments. He was elected to Con-
gress by the Republicans in 1894. He at
tracted much attention as an orator during
his term in Congress, and when i'm 1896 he
left the Republican party because OF his
belief OH the money question he quickly
became a leader among the silver Repub-
leans. This year the Populist national
convention named him as its vice presiden-
tial candidate. as also did the silver Re-
publicans, but he withdrew from both tick
cts In the interest OF the Stralgnt Demo-
cratic ticket, later announcing himself as a
regular Democrat.
In an interview yesterday he said that his
time of service in the Senate would. of
course. be short, but he might have to vote
on some important measures. He consid-
ers the ship subsidy bill a bad one, and is
against it. His position on the standing
army is that the people have voted TO put
down the war in the Philippines, and he
will vote TO give army enough to do that.
but not for an increase for any other pur-
| pose. He does not expect to participate in
debate at all during his short term. !
LINCOLN, Neb., Dec. 6.-W. j. Bryan
said this evening he was much pleased to
hear of the appointment of Charles a.
