WILL ACT IMMEDIATELY.
Negotiations r.. onar.a r.A,.
"'e'' ~ skin--The Coast Clear
IA Social Club.

feH'a' Dec. s.--All the foreign en-
'oys ~ cept Sir Edward Mason satow,
'le ,itish minister, have received in
SUI" ction from their governments
as eeing to the joint note proposed
u the last meeting. Another meeting
will probably be called for Tuesday
next. Should the British minister
have received instructions to sign the
| joint note by that time, communica-
tion will be Immediately opened with
Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang, who
are in daily touch with the court by
the Chinese telegraph.
Prince Ching says Emperor. Kwang
Su is ready to return as soon as as
sured that the negotiations will allow
him TO come under conditions con-
sonant with his dignity and safety.
The removal of Gen, Tung Fu
Hasiang from the command of the
Chinese forces surrounding the court
is considered by the foreign ENJOYS to
be very important step, as showing
the real desire of the government to
come to terms. His banishment indi-
Gates that the court recognizes the
oxpediency of obeying the demands Of
the powers.
The ENJOYS are considering the
question of legation bundlngs in the
future. At present none of the gov
ernments owns its buildings, all the
houses being rented. The only ones
not damaged considerably are the
American, British and Russian. 1t is
proposed that all the legation build
ings should be concentrated within a
square mile west of the Tartar City;
that each building should be owned
by the government using it, and that
the whole should be surrounded by
moat and drawbridges having an in
ternational guard sufficient to protect
the legations against any repetition
of the recent attack. The only other
buildings which it is proposed to al
low within the enclosure with the le-
CATION houses and the necessary Of
fees, would be the foreign clubs.
The international club was opened
yesterday, it's object being to bring
together in a spirit of social harmony
the officers and diplomats of the vari-
GUS nations. There was large com
pany present, and music was dis
coursed by military bands. 1t is ex-.
pected that the club will continue a
great success. The building was for
merly an imperial temple.

SUNK WITH ALL ON BOARD.


Erie, Pa, Dec. 10.--In the midst Of
one of the most litter gales that e45er
swept Lake Erie, the iron ore ba, ,ge
Foster, in tow of the Iron Duke, went
to the bottom at four o'clock yes.
terday morning, ten miles off Erie,
and eight persons were drowned.
The Foster was one of the fleet of
James Corrigan, of Cleveland, and for
two months has been running from
Duluth to Erie with iron ore. Her
cargo consisted of 1,5O0 tons of ore.
Capt. Ashley of the Iron Duke made
Erie in safety. In an interview he
said:

Foster plunged in an awful sea and

lantern. The tow line parted when
she went down. The storm was so
heavy that ] could not put about to
hunt for anyone. There would not
have been a particle Oh use anyway,
because the seas were so tremendous
that no one could have lived a minute,
even if the water had not been icy

ship, but it was no use, / had all

When asked for an opinion as to
the cause of the sinking of the Foster,
Capt. Ashley said that he could not
tell.
apparently everything was all
right aboard her until she took that
fatal dip, There had not been a sin
gle signal of distress from her up to
that time"
There are so to 100 feet of water
where the wreck occurred.
The Foster was valued at $4,000.

COLD COMFORT FOR KRUGER.
The Car is Sorry, But, Then, His Ill

Quite impossible.

London, Dec. 10.--"Mr. Kruger re.
ceived a message from the czar, Fri
day night" says the correspondent of
the Times at The Hague. 1T was
couched in very friendly terms, but
the fact that its existence has been
kept close secret is sufficient to in
dicate its authors intention to alb
stain from any active steps friendly
to intervention. The czar naturally
pleads his illness as sufficient eX.
cuse for not interfering.
"Mr, Kruger, when cheered by the
crowd on his return from the cathe-
dral, yesterday, turned and roundly
rebuked those near him for such q
desecration of the Sabbath"

Sir Harry Johnston, the commissioner

being unable to supply their wants
within reasonable time. The orders
comprise not only bridges, but loco

notice you are writing up the different
Mississippi regiments, and thought as our

how we became attached to this regiment.
After being sworn in as Confederate States
troops, we went to Corinth. TherD being
remnant there of Tenn essee, Alabama
and Mississippi companies, they formed a
regiment styled First Alabama Mississippi
and Tennessee. We served for five or six
months consolidated as st ated. At the
siege of Island No 10 we were captured
and carried to Wisconsin. 'Ee remained in
Camp Rowell prison abo ut six weeks

After being in prison there about seven
