THE CHINESE PROTOCOL.
Delay in Signing Canoes Some Tn
easiness-Lf Hung Ckang In
DisfavOr.

Peking, Aug. 26.-The delay OF the
Chinese plenipotentiaries in signing
the protocol is causing some uneasi-
ness in the foreign community here, al
though the ministers of the powers do
not think that the Chinese intend to
defy the powers by ultima tely refusing
to sign. Indeed, they believe China is
anxious to wind up the negotiations
speedily. DEGREES reciting the punish
ments and suspending the examina-
tions will be issued before the Chinese
signatures are affixed. Prince Ching,
at the request of the empress dowager,
telegraphed to her verbatim the re-
strictions as to the importation of
arms. Ii Hung Chang, having practi-
cally conducted all the active negotia-
tions, has retired into the background,
leaving to Prince Ching the RESPONSE
bility of concentrating the work. Earl
Ii finds himself in the same precarious
position that he occupied at the close
of the negotiations following the war
with Japan. The native press is unan-
imous in violently denouncing him for
what is called his surrender to the for
eigners, and a number of officials have
petitioned the emperor to punish him
for betraying his country.
