I'm ACCORD WITH POWERS.
Criticism of English Press Founded
on a misunderstanding.
MP. CONGER ADVISED DAILY.

Washington, Nov. lit is said that
the details of the propositions before
the council of ministers at Pekin as set
out in the London special dispatches are
substantially correct. However, they
are not included in any one note so far
received here officially, but are rather
comprised in series of notes and tele-
grams that have been exchanged be-
tween the state department and Min
lister Conger day by day, as the
negotiations proceeded. The state de-
partment has regarded several OF these
propositions as extremely unwise or
undesirable but has not felt that fact
justified the United States in with
drawing singly from the concert OF
powers.
The rather severe criticism OF the
English press upon the attitude of the
United States government relative to
the Chinese complications based upon
the advices of their American corre-
spondents, have naturally attracted a
good deal of attention here. An in
quiry in an authoritative quarter
brought this reply: 'The comments
of the London press on Che attitude OF
the United States in the pending ne
gotiations in China are founded on a
complete misunderstanding So far
from the government interposing any
obstacles to an agreement among the
powers at Pekin, Mr.. Conger has been
instructed frequently and in urgent
terms to do everything possible to
bring about speedy agreement.
"The government is in agreement
with the powers in demanding severe
and adequate punishment of the prin-
cipal wrong-doers, indemnity for the
past and security for the future. 1t
does not, however, at this distar re,
presume to decide who are the most
guilty, what punishment must be in
flicted in each particular case, and
what sentences are possible of execu-
ton. These matters, aswell as that of
indemnity, are left to the negotiators
on the spot. 1t is to be presumed that
they will not exact a reparation, either
personal or pecuniary which it would
be beyond the power of China to carry
out"

HAWAIIAN ELECTION RESULT.
RoyaIist Candidate Elected Dele
gate to Congress
ON AN ANTI-WHlTE ISSUE,

Honolulu, via of San Francisco, Nov.
| I'D. S. Wilcox, the Royalist candi-
date, has been elected Hawaiian
delegate TO congress by small ma
iority over Samuel Parker, the Repub-
lican candidate. His strong vote
among the natives in outside districts
carried the day against the white and
intelligent native voters of the cities
The result of the election produced
much depression among all whites, as
Wilcox was strongly opposed by Re
publicans and Democrats alike. His
campaign was an anti-white canvass,
with promises on the part of some of
his campaign workers that if he were
elected Queen LiliuolSalani would be
replaced on the throne. The result of
the vote shows the native bitterness
over annexation to be still alive.
The independent native party has
carried the house of representatives by
large majority. They will have four
teen members of the house, with nine
Republicans and six Independents and
Democrats. In the senate there will
be seven Republicans, eight lnde-
pendents and one Democrat. With the
independents in control q lively session
is anticipated as they are against the
ruling regime. 1t is likely, as a result
of the election, that congress will be
asked to establish some limitations
upon the voting privilege. Many of
the whites want property qualifica-
ton for voters. 1t is argued that, in
voting upon simple color line many
of the natives have shown themselves
unfit for universal suffrage.
1t is said that Mr. Parker will go to
Washington in any event and that,
though he will have no official title,
he will look after the interests of the
the islands.

The Hong Kong Junta.

London, Nov. 13.-An official of the
foreign Office said to a representative
of the Associated Press: 1.-THE extent
of the steps we could take in this mat
ter entirely depends on the strength of
the case Washington can make out
against the junta. If it is proved that
the junta is materially assisting the
cause of the Filipinos we certainly
shall only be acting in the spirit of or
binary international friendship in sup
pressing the organization.

Pessimism In London.

London, Nov. 15.-The London
morning papers are again agitated
concerning the stability of the concert
of the powers in China. The attitude
of Germany and the United States
meet with disapproval, the former be-
cause Count Won Waldersee has sent a
column to destroy the Ming Tomb, an
act regarded as needlessly vindictive,
and the latter because it threatens to
break up the concert. The Daily Chron-
icle comments strongly upon the
American attitude as a feeble COM
promise impossible to accept.

NlCARAGUAN CANAL AFFAIRS.

Iy Cooperation.


Washington, Nov. 1.-THE minister
from Nicaragua, Senior Don Luis Cor
rea, when asked as to the Nicaraguan
canal affair, said; ~ spent some time
in conference with the president and
members of the cabinet at Managua
and am happy to say that President
Zelaya and his associates, and in fact,
the whole country, are enthusiastic
on the future of the great waterway.
They are awaiting with interest the
developments at Washington, and are
hopeful and confident that congress
will pass the bill authorizing the
opening of negotiations with the coun-
tries interested in the canal and be-
ginning of the actual work of
construction. In that connection L
have the necessary instructions to
facilitate in every desirable way the
cooperation between the govern
ments. 1t can be said generally that
Nicaragua stands ready to do her full
share in carrying forward this great
project"
The old concession, he said, had
ceased to attract attention. so that,
he added, Il am happy to say that
Nicaragua is free to negotiate with
anyone ready to negotiate concerning
the canal, and especially the govern
ment of the United States"

Escape From Lansing.

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. 19.-One of
the most daring and successful escapes
on record by three convicts at the
state penitentiary at Lansing occurred
last week. The dash for liberty, for
one at least, was brief, as he fell with
bullet through his head from Deputy
Warden Thompsoh's revolver before
he could gain cover. The three con-
vets were Sam Smith, E. f. Estell and
Ben Cravens. They made a wooden
pistol and covered it with tin foil; with
this they frightened their guard in the
cool mine, compelling him to take
them up the shaft, and then scared
other guards until outside the walls.
The outside guards used their guns
and, Swartz, one of the guards was
shot with gun the convicts had taken
from another guard. Deputy Warden
Thompson then placed the shot above
mentioned.
