Peking, Dec. 10-All the foreign en-
voys except Sir Ernest Mason Satow,
the British minister, have received in
structions from their governments
agreeing to the joint note proposed at
the last meeting. Another meeting
will probably be called for tomorrow.
Should the British minister have re-
ceived his instructions to sign the
joint note by that time, communlca-
ton 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 assured that
negotiations will allow him to come
under conditions consonant with his
dignity and safety. The removal of
General Tung Flu Hsiang from the
command of the Chinese forces sur
rounding the court is considered by
the foeign ENJOYS to be a very impor-
tant step, as showing the real desire of
the government to come to terms. His
Punishment indicates that the court
recognizes the eXepdiency of obeying
the demands of the powers
I Chaffee Onends Won waIdersee.
London, Dee. 10.-"General Chaffee
wrote letter to Count Won Valdez
see," says the Picking correspondent
OF The Morning Post, complaining of
tie removal by French and German
troops OF the astronomical instruments
from the wall of Picking, but the let
ter was returned to him on account of
Its tone. He has notified the foreign
ENJOYS that all persons are prohibited
passing the American guard on enter
ing the south gate Of the palace, owing
TO the frequent cases of looting. The
ministers are offended at this individ-
ual assumption of authority. Yeng
Lu, who is now acting as the adviser
or the Chinese court enjoys the favor
or the empress dowager, and is form
ing regiments which may be trusted
TO defend the court l am informed
that the execution of Yu Hsien is GER
tain whenever the ENJOYS demand it."
Next Thing in the Proceedings.
Washington, Dec. 10.-The next i'm
portant step in the Chinese situation
Will be the formal presentation to the
Chinese plenipotentiaries of the agree
ment arrived at between the represent
atives of the powers at Picking for
reparatlon for the Boxer outrages. The
agreement is simply statement of the
terms upon which the powers VIII ne
gotiate with China for final settle
ment arrived at between the represent
officials as matter of form. The
negotiations for final settlement will
come later after the Chinese have been
given a reasonable opportunity for the
consideration of the conditions laid
down by the powers. The complete
agreement deciphered from the code is
now in the hands of the president, but
will not be made public for awhile.
