4 Pekin, Dec. 3d. Once more there III
a pronounced hitch in the proceedings.
The preliminary joint note has not yet

5lieve that there are sufficient reasons
why it SHOULD not be signed in the;
near future and Sir Ernest Satow, the
British minister, takes the same view
Or. MImm Won Schwartzenstein
speaking for Germany, believes that
the existing agreement will be signed
sooner or later. The other ministers
also say that they consider the prob-
abilities In favor of signing.
Chinese sources Of informat ton, how
ever, say there is reliable authority for
the statement that there is very little
chance of the note being signed for
some time. As a matter of fact the
members Of the staff of Lii Hung

has had most to do with the existing

harshness. Bile United States is looked
upon by the Chinese as the only power
really desiring to retain the integrity
of the Chinese empire. The other pow
ers are regarded as DESTROYS Of break
ing il UP. with the possible exception
of Russia, who, the Chinese think.
merely favors a postponement In order
eventually to secure a larger share.
Grave fears are felt regarding the
health Of Ii Hung Chang. owing to a
severe cold that he caught on the day
he visited Gen. Chaffee. 1t Is said
that he is better to-day, but there Is
fear of pleurisy, which, at his adj

orally believed the Chinese get their
information as to what is done at the
meetings Of the ENJOYS through some
one connected with the Russian lega-
ton.
Delay Charged TO WashinEton.
London, Dec. %. 1.-THE delay in
signing the preliminary joint note, 4
saws the Pekin correspondent of the
Morning Post. wiring yesterday. is
due to an objection from Washington.
Minister Conger, however, has tele-
graphed his government urging a
speedy settlement on the ground that
German military control is worse than
Chinese management. Prince Ching
says the empress dowager and Emper-
or Kwang Su are both anxious to leave
Sinan Flu, as the accommoda lions there
are poor and their environment unfa-
vorable. He points out that the pri-
yate and government property seized
fin Pekin is quite equivalent in value
to the indemnity of the powers.

Marriages In Hindostan are very
simple, and are usually arranged by
the parents Of the principals. When
an alliance is agreed upon, the bride
and groom are brought together, and
perhaps see each other for the first
time. The bride pIayfully skips
toward the groom and seats herself
beside him. The priest ties corner
J OF the brides veil to the groom's
shawl and this simple proceeding
makes them man and wife.
