NOTIFICATIONS DEMANDED.

Less Extreme Attitude Favored by ia
pan, Russia and United States.
Paris, Nov. 30.-It seems impossible
to ascertain the exact attitude of the
various powers toward China. A story
is received in Paris one day, and the
next day it is contradicted. From the
best information it now appears that
the statement that several Of the for
eign ministers at Pekin have signed the
preliminary demands, which are to be
presented to Ii Hung Chang and Prince
Ching, the Chinese plenipotentiaries is
not true. Even M Pichon, the French
minister, was instructed to sign the
note subject to certain reservations,
which will in all probability convince
him that he should not sign at all.
The latest news received in official
circles here is to the effect that Japan
Russia and the United States are hold
ing out for the infection of 1.-THE sever
est penalties on the guilty, instead of
decapitation, which was demanded in
the original note. They are also de-
manding other ameliorative amend
ments.
The action of Russia places France in
an awkward position between her desire
to maintain an entente with the czar
and the fact that French interests in
China are more like those of the English
and and Germans than with those of
Russia. AS a distinguished publicist
summed up the situation to-day, it is an
inextricable mess.
