NEW BASIS FOR PEACE PROPOSED
Secretary Hay Addresses Powers In an
Effort to Secure n Settlement.


Effort to Secure n Settlement.
Washington, Nov. 25.-The secre-
tary of state has addressed an iden-
tical note to the powers interested
in the Chinese situation, setting out
tersely and afresh the object of the
United States government as to
China, and pointing out how such OBJ
jects as are common to the powers
can best be secured.
This note marks the initiation of
fresh negotiations on our part for
the arrangement of new basis to
tide over the impossible situation
created at the last meeting of the
ministers in Picking.
Some responses are already at
hand and it is stated generally that
our advances have been well received
and the state department expresses
satisfaction with the progress so far
achieved.
1t is believed the note is an APP
peal from the extreme course sug-
gested by some of the powers as to
the treatment of China and especi-
ally in the matter of punishments
and indemnties to which the minis
tiers at Picking seem inclined. The
intent is to push the negotiations on
a more radical business-like basis.

Unsatisfactory.


London, Nov. 23.-Dr. Morrison,
wiring to the Times from Picking
says:
THE appointment of Yu Chang as
governor of the province of Hu Pei
has been cancelled. This is due to
the strenuous British protest. Ching
Using, treasurer of the province of
Ho Nan, who has been appointed in
the Chinese have shown in disseminat-
his place, is regarded as almost
equally Objectionable.
THE foreign ENJOYS have agreed
that the consistent bad faith which
ing abroad misleading intelligence
shall be recorded in the preamble of
the conjoint note.
1T is reported that Chinese troops
have repulsed a German expedition,
but no details have been received"
''nine of the foreign ENJOYS" says
the Picking correspondent of the
Morning Post, wiring yesterday,
'have written strong letters de-
nouncing the punishment edict and
declaring that Tung Flu Hsiang must
be punished. DIR. Mumm Won
Schwartzensten, the German minis
ter, has told Ii Hung Chang that the
foreign powers must themselves pun
isl the guilty officials"

The League against Seasickness is
a new French organization which
publishes a serious periodical, the
Journal du Nal de Mer, largely COM
posed OF infallible prescriptions
against seasickness. Everybody knows
such recipes. People who do not go
to sea find them very effective. and
as rule they are entertaining. But
the French journal ought also to print
some fiction with less transparent
plot and more agreeable climax.

The longest electric railway In the
world is to be built in Montana. The
proposed line is from Billings to Great
Falls. some 200 miles. and the plan is
to operate 1t entirely by electric power,
which is to be supplied from gener-
ating stations on the Missouri and
Yellowstone rivers. The road would
have a considerable traffic in coal, ores
and other heavy freights and would be
the first line with such traffic to be
worked by electricity.

"A party of thirty-eight Turks. wish

at dead of night from Tschuruksu

The tea used in the household of

to decline at twenty-five, although
they usually live to forty.
