Pekin- Dee 3l--The Chinese pl~ni-
potensiar'es have been Unexpectedly
srsier-'i to sign the preliminary ioias
nos-. and have notified the forrixa
ENJOYS "a that effect.
The Chinese themselves were great
iy s-soni.hed at receiving the i'm
perial Instructions. Neither Ii Hung
Chang nor Prince Ching had expect
ed success in pursa.siing the court an
der tensiays.
The emp~ror's instructions are to
agree fully to the note. but to endeav-
or to get the hest terms possible.
particularly in the matter of limiting
the numb~r of the legation quarts
and. also. as to the places where these
are to be located. n
The pfenipotentiaries are instructed
TO endeavor TO limit the number Of
army posts along the line of railway
to as few as possible. and finally to
request the powers not to destroy
the forts, but merely to disarrn theus.,
Ii Hung Chang's health is bad. and
it is doubtful whether he will be able
to do more than to affix his signature
to an instrument delegating his pow
erssto Prince Ching until another
plenipotentiary has been appointed
He was dressed yesterday morning
and carried in a chair to the residence
of Prince Ching. with whom he held
long consultation. Prince Ching
then called upon the doyen of the
diplomatic corps. the Spanish minis
ter, Senior De Cologan. and requested
him to notify the other ENJOYS that
instructions had been received from
the emperor to sign the note.

Copenhagen, Dec. 3i.-Denmark's
trade with the United States is grow
ing rapidly, showing record figures
for 1900. Imports from the United
States have trebeled since 1896. and
now exceed 10000. 900. Ths inrrps-

present American houses, and this -
doing much TO introduce American

have been ordered for the American
