stands) reached by the foreign minis.
ters at Peking, but it is not regarded
as eSpedient' to give out for publication
at this time any detailed information
regarding it. 1t may be stated how
ever. that the arrangement stands q
very poor chance Of receiving the sane;
ton of all the powers represented in
the Peking conference, unless some
material amendments are permitted. ~
inst what the Objectionable features
are can only be surmised, in view of
the adverse decision Of the authorities
respecting publication. But, accepting
as accurate the statement from Peklng
that the basis Of the agreement is to be
found in the French note, il is easy tt
Epreceive that /. there are no less than
two poin is which, if included in their
original shape, wonld not meet with
the unqualified approval Of this gov
eminent. For in stance, the presider:
~ Expressly Reserved His Opinion
cs to the proposition, that the Yaisa
forts be dismantled. He also withheld:
his approval Of the French proposi,io;,
that there be q permanent military or.
ganization at two or three points On the
road between Tier Tsin> and Pelsing..
There are several points to which the
assent Of the United States was given,
namely, providing for the punishment
Of the guilty Chinese who may DO des.
ignated by the representatives Of the
powers at Picking, for the collection Of
equitable indemnities (and in this con.
nection our government suggested q
reference Of the subject to The Hague
tribunal) and finally for the mainte.
nence Of q legation guard ut Picking.
The latter, however, was to be tempo.
rary until congress acted on the matter.
II Unless the ministers at Peking have
made q very substantial chan &c in the
requirements Of the French note, there.
fore, it may be predicted that our gov.
ern ment will feel obliged to make some
alterations in the arrangement before
it gives it, adherence. &, ~. .ls

age to property and possible loss Of
life. at Winterburn it was necessary
to release some of the water in q large

would have caused dire disaster to the

About three months ago arrangements
were made which prevented vessels from

upon the business of Vancouver. II is
stated. upon what seems 10 be good au-

formerly called at Vancouver on the way

sumo the old custom"
Formerly there was a very considerable
dect o, American vessels making regular
