MAKE A PEACE PROPOSAL
Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching

duct of Negotiations.
TIME TO END THE PRESENT SITUATION.
Say Accomplices Of the Boxers Will

mand Immediate Cessation of Hos
tilities France Wants Guilty
Leaders Punished First.

Paris, Oct. 19.-The Hovas agency
has received the following dispatch
from Picking: The diplomatic corps
Hung Chang and Prince Ching saying
that it is time to end the present
situation and to treat for peace, and
that the princes and ministers who
were accomplices of the Boxers will
be handed over to the courts, to be
judged and punished according to Chi
nese law. In their quality of pleni
potentiaries Lii Hung Chang and
Prince Ching offer to treat for peace
and accept the principle of indemni-
ties for the legations destroyed. The
losses are to be estimated by dele
gates of the powers. European ma
tions can be accorded fresh CONNER
cial advantages on the old treaties
modified; but, as the requirements of
the powers vary, each power must
formulate it's own. The plenipoten-
tiaries demand an immediate cessa-
ton of hostilities because of their Of
fer and request an interview with the
tsung-li-yamen for October 81.
Must First Punish the Guilty.
Replying to the note, M. Pichon,
the French minister, said that China,
having recognized that she had vio-
lated the law of nations, was bound
to accept, for that very reason, the
responsibilities involved. Consequent
ly he demanded that exemplary pun
ishment be inflicted upon the princi-
pals guilty, namely, Prince Tuan.
Prince Chwang, Kang vi and Tung Flu
Hsiang, adding that so long as their
heads had not fallen it was impossible
to cease hostilities.
Censer Reports.
Washington, Oct. 19.-For the first
time in three days Minister Conger
was heard from at the state depart
ment Thursday. He communicated
by cable the substance of certain
propositions advanced by Prince
Ching and Ii Hung Chang as basis
for the conduct of negotiations for
settlement of the Chinese trouble.
The Chinese government already had
prepared the way for these by pre-
liminary action looking toward the
punishment of Chinese officials guilty
of completely in the Boxer uprising
and, while the text of Mr.. Conger's
communication is not made public, it
is believed that the last Chinese adj
vance is addressed to some of the
propositions contained in the French
note, being in the nature of counter
proposals and proceedings upon the
theory that what has been done in the
matter of punishments is sufficient to
meet the demands. from the powers
in that respect.
China HarPies Matters.
Washington, Oct. 2o.-The Chinese
government has made request upon
Secretary Hay that negotiations be-
gin Saturday at Peking looking to a
settlement of the Chinese question. It
is said at the state department that
Mr.. Conger's instructions are suffi-
cient in breadth to enable him to pro-
coed with negotiations to-day with
out further orders from the depart

Strike Is Still On.

Hazleton, Pa. Oct. 19.-As far as
ending the coal miners strike is con-
cerned not a move in that direction
was made by the United Mine Work
ers' officials Thursday. President
Mitchell is absolutely silent on all
questions pertaining to the termina-
ton of the contest, and it is not be-
lieved that he will have anything to
say on the subject until he calls a
meeting of the national executive
board for the purpose of considering
the question of issuing a formal dec
laration calling the strike off. When
that shall be depends, it is understood,
entirely upon the operators.
Another Convention Likely.
Scranton, Pa, Oct. 19.-Representa-
tives of all the big coal mining COM
panies met here Thursday afternoon
and decided to insist on decrease in
the price of powder being computed as
part of the increase in wages to con-
tract miners. District President Mich
OILS, of the United Mine Workers, says
the mine workers officers were direct
ed to get straight advance, and that
another miners convention will be
necessary before the strike can be de-
clared off, even though the officers were
disposed to accede to the condition
that powder should figure in the pres
ent negotiations. The operators meet
ing agreed to post notices extending
the offered increase of ten per cent.

This was an action against a tele-
graph company for damages for fail
Ing to deliver telegram within a rea-
sohaoIe tiihe. FROM Judgment for de-
PENDANT the plaintiff appealed.
The court says:
Inc appellant cannot recover in this
case. lie does not bring himself with
in the regulations established by the
telegraph company for the transaction
or It's business Upon the blank ne
cessarily used in the Transmission of
the message. and upon the one used
also in the delivery of the message TO
the sendee. was a notice informing
them of the conditions upon which
the telegram was taken for transmits
sion and delivery. 1t is there exnress-
~ stated that the company will not
he liable for damages or statutory
penalties In any case where the claim
is not presented in writing within GO
days after the message is filed with
the company for transmission. II Is
held in Express Co. V. Hunnicutt 81
Miss. 56, that a condition in n contract
similar to the one here is reasonoble
and courts in other jurisdictions hold
like doctrine. And in this case no
written claim OF damages was made
on the company until suit was brought
more than seven months after the de-
livery of the telegram for transmits
sion; and this delay occurred although
copy of the telegram with the con-
ditions plainly written thereon. was de-
livered TO the sendee within ten days
after the alleged default occurred. The
plaintiff had full knowledge. or means
of knowledge. of the condition of the
contract in regard to the transmission
and delivery of the telegram, and his
non compliance with 1t leaves him
without any excuse. He can take no
advantage of his own default. At
