Te1t of enc French Note.

PARIS. Oct. 5.-The following Official
note was issued this afternoon by the For
eign ONCE:
''The foreign minister has instructed the
representatives OF France to sound the
powers whose troops are cooperating with
ours in the extreme East in regard to the
adoption Of a common ground OF negotia-
tions with China. Our representatives ac-
quilted themselves of this mission and left
with the various foreign ministers a copy
of the following note:
s. In sending their forces to China, the
powers proposed, first of all, to deliver
their legations. Thanks 10 their union and
the valor Of their troops. this aim has been
attained. IT Is now a question OF securing
from the Chinese government, which has
given Prince Ching and Ii Hung Chang
full powers to negotiate and treat in it's
name, a suitable reparation for the past
and serious guarantees for the future
Penetrated with the spirit which inspired
the previous declarations Of the different
governments, the government Of the Re-
public believes IL sums up their real Senti-
ments in the following points, which il sub
mits as basis for negotiations TO be en-
tered upon Immediately after the verifica-
tion of the powers:
'First-The punishment of the principal
culprits who will be designated by the rep
resentatives OF the powers in Peling.
Second-The maintenance Of the prohi-
bitOn of the import OF arms.
'Third-Equitable indemnitieS to states.
societies and individuals.
'Fourth-The formation of a perma-
nent guard for Peking legations.
'Fifth-The dismantlement of the forti-
fications

three points on the road from Tien-Tsn to
Peking, which would thus be always open

Made by the Worlds Congress, Now
Meeting fn Paris.

PARIS, Oct. 5.-The international peace
congress epitomized its work in an appeal
10 the nations, adopted to-day, in which
the congress condemns the refusal OF the
British government to agree to arbitration
or mediation in South Africa, and ex-
presses keen regret that the majority Of
the governments that might have offered
mediation abstained from so doing. in spite
of their pacific declarations at The Hague.
Regarding China, the congress. after rec
ognizing and pointing out the primary
causes Of discomfort on the part OF the
Chinese, urges that the solution of the
conflict be just and equitable and in con-
formity with the unallenable right OF the
populations TO freely dispose OF themselves.
The congress also characterizes the Ar
menian massacres as the most odious deed
of recent times, and expresses the hope
that the universal Indignation of the civ
ilized world would force the governments
to find a radical solution.
The congress points out the moral and
material injury resulting from formidable
ornaments. and recommends the govern
ments to study these questions. on the
solution Of which, II is asserted. depends
the prosperity and the very existence Of
the nations. The congress then recon-
mends international arbitration. and urges
the conclusion Of treaties making arbitra-
ticn permanent and obligatory.

placed before theHGorld the bases for a

FOLLOWS AMERICAS STEPS.
England Gives Her Minister Powers
Like Those of Conger.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5.-The British gov
ernment has followed the footsteps OF the
United States in the Chinese negotiations.
II has authorized Sir Claude Macdonald,
the British minister at Peking. to enter
into relations with the Chinese officials.
Just as our government did in the case of
Minister Conger. 1t has left to its minister
scretionary power to pass upon the suf-
Eiency OF the credentials of Ii Hung
hang. Prince Ching and the other Chinese
Invoys. Although the formal response 10

states government has been informed that.
hough such an answer may not be made
all, being unnecessary in the light of
cent developments, yet Sir Claude Mac
pnald will be instructed 70 make the
me inquiries relative to the punishment
the Chinese ringleaders that have been
mmitted TO Mr.. Conger.

mmissioner Rockhilps investigation has
en- an inst uction to him by the State
partment to cooperate with Minister
niger in the inquiries with which that Of
tai is now charged relative to the char
ter OF the Chinese ENJOYS and punish
ents.
The next step toward the final settle
{ment OF the Chinese troubles must come
from Minister conger and his brother min
| listers at Peking. They are charged with
inquiries into the matters OF punishment,
which certainly will occupy some time. and
II is not expected that much headway will
be made In other directions until this
phase OF the case has been passed. The

Text OF the Document Divides the
Points at Issue Into Six General
Subjects for Discussion.

LONDON. Oct. 6. Ais a. NIT is re-
ported in ST. Petersburg, according to the
correspondent OF the Times at the Russian
capital, that the Chinese feet in Formosa
strait attempted to engage the Russian
armored cruiser Rurik, but the latter's
speed frustrated the plan. The correspond
ent says 1t is probable that the allied
squadrons will force the Chinese fleet to
eapItulate or will destroy it.
Shanghai kilograms announce that the
imperial edict. dated Sept. 90. ordering
the court to be removed to Si-Nan-Fu. was
issued owing to the famine at Tai-Yuan-
Fu. capital of the province of shan-Si.
They also express the opinion that the
object Of the recent edicts regarding the
degradation Of Chinese personages of high
rank is merely to gain time and to enable
China to be In a better position to defy
the powers, as the new capital viii be
virtually Inaccessible from the coast.
The Shanghai correspondent OF the Morn
ing Post, discussing this aspect OF the case,
remarks: '"The German troops have no
means OF transport and any attempt to
follow the Chinese court would be, there
fore. quite futile"
He says that the Chinese firmly believe
I'm the existence OF a Russo-German agree
ment under which Russia will take all the
territory north OF the great wall and Ger
many the provinces of Chilli and Shan
Tung.
Fhs Times's representative at Shanghai
says: cit is believed here that highly in
fiammatory edicts are being issued secret
ly. and that the recent public edicts are
only intended to hoodwink the powers"

NAY RAISE BAIL TO FORTUNE
MILLER's HEARING BEFORE THE REF
EREE ADJOURNED-POLICE TO RE-
TAIN CUSTODY OF CHECKS

Several motions in connection with the Franklin
Syndicate were made before Judge Thomas in the
United States District Court yesterday morning
Mr.. House. lawyer for William F Miller. moved
that the order compelling Miller to appear before
a referee Tuesday morning be vacated, and
the order compelling Miller to produce books and
papers in his possession be set aside Francis A
McCloskey, representing number Of creditors of
the Franklin Syndicate, opposed the motions say
ing that every delay In the bankruptcy proceed
ihgs placed him at a disadvantage Judge Thomas
decided to let the matter over until next Sat
urday. Mr.. McCIoskey further said that Postmas-
ter Wilson had about $40 600 in money orders and
letters, and asked that this money should be
turned over TO Mer's creditors. No action was
taken this REQUEST
J. Warren Greene. lawyer. representing John
B. Lord, the receiver Of the Franklin Syndicate
moved that a number of checks representing about
100000 that had been intercepted on their way to
Miller should be turned to the receiver These
checks are now In the hands of the police and
Judge Thomas held that they should retain them
for the present.
There is strong probability now that William
F. Miller will continue to languish in Raymond
Street Jail until his comes to trial on April
The bail asked under the three old indictments IS
$1,000, and IT is probable that an addition will now
be made to this amount proportionate to the seven
teen extra indictments handed down against Miller
on Friday No one seems disposed TO go on Mil
ler's bail, and the amount required will with
out doubt prove prohbitive.
A story TO the effect that Miller has within the
last few days offered TO turn States evidence is
branded as false by District Attorney Clarke, who
says:
Miller has made proposition to me Of any
kind The talk about big men" being behind him
is all nonsense. The only big man" behind Miller
was Schlessinger. Miller used to go around among
the poor Germans and do his business with written
slips for receipts and pledges; afterward he used
printed slips. and finally the slips were engraved

would not make any terms with Miller should the

handed down with the decision
davts OF the parties, to determine who is right and
who is wrong in the unhappy differences which
have arisen between the parties. A speedy trial,
with corroborating witnesses. will determine the
issues involved. AS the wife has means Of
support 1t is the duty of the husband to provide
conduct on her part would relieve him from that
obligation.
My making this allowance is not to be understood
finding that she is right in her claims against
her husband, but merely a direction that she have
means to live and pay her counsel while action is
such that there should be delay In bringing the
to trial. The order will provide that alimony
cease unless plaintiff brings trial on or before
July !. 1900.
