Foreign officials in China are just be-
ginning to discover that instead of hav-
ing the effect Of terrifying the Chinese
into being good and doing as they de-
sire the marauding expeditions are hav-
ing the opposite tendency as well as
creating a bad impression upon the
Chinese which will be lasting. The
powers can ask China to deal Justly in
the present situation by first being just
themselves. Practically every position
taken by United States officers, civil,
military and naval, has been proven
correct and finally adopted by the
others.

AGREEMENT As TO CHINA

The foreign ministers at Pekin have
at last reached an agreement as to de-
mands to be made upon China, which
has been submitted to the home govern
ments. 1t appears that in regard to
the principal questions, punishment and
indemnity, the view of this government
has prevailed. This was set forth in
the presidents message and contem-
plates full expiation, within the ra-
tiOnal limits of retributlve justice" for
the real culprlts, and as to indemnity
such demand as China can meet. On
this the message said: "The matter of
indemnity for our wronged citizens Is a
question of grave concern. Measured in
money alone. sufficient reparation may
prove to be beyond the ability of China
to meet. All the powers concur in EN-
phatic disclaimers of any purpose Of
ACKNOWLEDGEMENT through the dismember-
ment Of the empire. l am disposed to
think that due compensation may be
made in part by increased guarantees
of security for foreign rights and i'm
munities, and, most important Of all,
by the opening of China to the equal
commerce of all the world" 1t Is
not to be doubted that II the powers
shall proceed in accord with this view
the Chinese government will be found
most willing to give any guarantees that
may be required of 1t for the security
OF foreign rights and also to make the
most liberal concessions respecting com
merce.
1t Is stated that on other points the
French proposition has formed the basis
of the agreement. The French note to
the powers proposed, besides punish
ment and equitable indemnties, the con-
tinuance of the interdlction against the
importation of arms, the organization in
Pekin of permanent guard for the
legations, the dlsmantllng of the forts at
Taku and the military occupation of two
Tsn to Pekin. In responding to the
French note our government accepted
the propositions with certain reserva-
tions as to details and 1t is to be pre-
sumed that these reservations continue,
but they are no obstacle to the initiation
of negotiations. The president could not,
without the authority of congress, make
any permanent engagement for a lega-
ton guard at Pekin, nor could he com
init the United States to a permanent
participation in any milisary occupation.
1t is not necessary to the beginning Of
negotiations, however, that there should
be agreement on these points.
The acceptance of the reasonable,
practical and humane views OF. the
United States government by the repre-
sentatives Of the other powers at Pekin
