AMERICANS PRAISED
Chinese Pleased by Conduct
 of Our Troops.
REFORMER HANG YU WEI HAS PLAN
Would Not Allow Empress Dowage1 and Her Advisers to Negotiate, Would Restore Emperor and
 Severely Parish BoXers.

PEk1NG, Dec. S.-Li Hung Chang has informed General Chaffee that he and all the people of the province of Chi Ii are extremely pleased and gratfied at the behavior of the American troops to- ward the Chinese. This is considered no light matter. From all sections of that portion of the, city under American su- pervision come words of praise, thank fitness and commendation regarding the behavior of the Americans.
 Mr. Ccnger, the United States minis ter, and the other foreign envoys re ccived letter signed by Rang Yu Wei, the well known Cantonese refolmer who was formerly an adviser of Emperor l>wang Su and who has always been favorable to foreigners.
 kang Gn We: says that great calami ties have befallen China through the em press dowager and also ill consequence of her advisers. Prince Yuan, Prince Ching. Iung l.u. Yung Ii, Chao Shu Chiao, Munag Ru, Moyn Kuen and HriOhg. He says he is thankful that the foreigners held out in the legation build ings ill Peking and that all the Chinese who understand the law of nations re- gtet the murder of Baron von Ketteier
 He then says he desires to make sug grstions which will insure the just pun izhment of the real culprits. satisfaction to the different countries and a perma- next settlement of the international re lntions of China" He urges:
 first.-~That the empress and her ad- visers should not be allowed to negotiate the peace.
 Second.-That the emperor, who is Il friend of foreigners. should be restored
 Third--That all reactionary officials should be arrested and that Il careful watch should be kept over the so called friendly VicprayS in thn SuIIth
 Unless Iung I.u. Prince Yuan and the others are severely dealt with. Kung Yu Wei contends. they will continue to say that the foreigners are powerlrss.
 ''The foreigners should not rely upon the vicrroyS. continues the Cantonese reformer. They send men, money and arInament% to the empress and are her "btdient servants, should the emperor be restored. the empire would rejoice The emperorS party consists of the most enlightened men. who are friendly to for cignprs and desire to incorporate western civilization and culture in an ancient country.
 Rang Iu Wei points out that he was appointed for the task by a secret edict of the emperor in 1898 when he made his appeal on behalf of the emperor to the foreign powers. 'an appeal which, had they listened. would probably have pre- vented what has happened"

PARIS, Dec. S.-The senate adopted the naval bill after q short discussion. Senator Combes.
