" As a result all the powers interest

view TO send troops to China. The inn

the following fundamental principles to
guide the powers in China:
. First, the maintenance of a COM

Second the maintenance of the
former state of organism in China.
Third the removal of everything
that could lead to the partition of the
Celestial empire.
g Fourth the establishment with the
united powers of a legal central gov
eminent at Pekin, able alone to pre-
serve order and tranquility in the
country.
"On these points agreements prevail

imperial government will continue TO
