THE AGREEMENT All PEKIN.
Prediction That IL win Have to be Modi-
fled or Abandoned.

fled or Abandoned.
Associated Press Dispatches by Special Wires
Washington, Nov. 2S.-Tha State Depart
ment has cabled Minister Oonger to forward
the text OF the agreement reached by the
foreign ministers at Pekin. Meanwhile, he
will withhold his signature until the Presi-
dent has had an opportunity to satisfy him
self as to this important document, and to
make such changes rs will bring 1t in ac-
cord with our policy.
1t is safe to predict that this particular
agreement will not become effective in its
present shape. IL appears that, upon in
quiry directed to the Powers themselves,
their ministers at Pekin have not correctly
reflected their present views as to the basis
Of the peace negotiations. This statement
certainly Is true as to a majority of the
Powers interested, and the fact is regarded
as warranting the prediction that the agree
ment must be modified or ab rndoned.
1t is learned at the State Department that
while these negotiations are dragging alof g
at Pekin some of the American consuls In
China are achieving practical and valuable
results by individual efforts. They are I'D.
dressing themselves directly TO the vice.
roysl of the great province where American
property interests have suffered to secure
indemnity and reparatiOn, and in most
cases they are succeeding very we'll.
1t is surnised from the Chinese advices
that the English coasuls are doing likewise
and are collecting many claims, and the
moneys are being turned over to the mis-
sion interests which suffered, If this move
ment continued, it is entirely possible that
neither TIE United States nor Great Britain
Will he Obliged to concern themselves with
the prosecution of individual claims for
indemnity through the slow-moving agencies
at Pekin.
