mesquite takes the parasite into the
stomach. where it remains during a period

the Broadway line, which Manager Baum

factory to the citizens OF Carondelet and
that portion Of the city.
The Broadway cars will be operated in
three branches. The first will run from
Gano avenue on the north to Usage street
on the south. the second branch will run as

FOREIGN ENJOYS AGREE ON
DEMANDS TO MAKE OF CHINA.
Conger Disregarded Instructions in Giving
His Assent for
Modification.

London. Nov. g..-Doctor Morrison. wiring
TO the Times from Pekin Sunday. says:
he foreign ENJOYS. agreed 10 the Two
proposals that We're previously rejected.
owing TO lack of unanimity. These are
Hir Ernest Satow's proposal that China
should agree to recast the commercial
treaties. and the italian proposal that China
should consent TO foreign financial control,
as guarantee of the indemnity.
THE delay in the presentation OF the
joint note is due to postponements by the
home governments. This increases the diff
fculties OF the position and asgravates the
dislocation of trade and finance especially
the collection of inland revenues.
AT the lowest estimate, the indemnity is
computed at 10000
PRESIDENT FOR MODIFICATION.
REPUBLIC SPECIAL.
Washington. Nov. 2s.-Like thunderholt
from clear sky came the tidings to WASH
irSton of the sudden agreement of the Min
istefs in Pek!n upon a protocol embodyins
severe terms for China. At the very mo-
ment when the United States was seeking
to secure moderation of the demands and
when most of the other Governments had
given encouragement. the Ministers sud-
not differ from those suggested several
weeks ago.
The administration is tonight considering
the two courses that are open to it. One
Is to assent to the demands formulated bv
the Ministers. In order to maintain the con-
cert of action 80 essential to the settle
ment of the trouble. The other Is to re-
pudiate Mr.. Conger's action. withdraw from
the concert and begin Independent nego-
tiations
Between these two courses only one choice
Is possible. according to the view taken at
the White House. That Is that co-operl-
ton with the Powers must continue The
president Is apparently unwilling to aban-
don the concert. believing he can best serve
the ends .he is seeking by remaining and
trying to modify the terms as now referred
to the Powers for their assent

The terms include: Execution of eleven
Princes and officials, already designated: in.
