NOTHING DEFINITE DECIDED

The foreign envoys at Pel1in, with
the exception Of the British minister
met yesterday to consider the time and
place for the acceptance and signing
OF the joint note, but nothing definite
was decided. It seems to be the opin-
ion OF some Of the ENJOYS that the ac-
ceptance Of the terms of the note by
the Chinese is not explicit enough.
The Chinese newspaper, Chung Wei
Yel 40, makes the following state
ment "The Imperial rescript accept
ing the peace conditions instructs the
Chinese commissioners, when discuss
ing points not specified, to gain as
many concessions as possible. The con-
dit.ons involve 200 debatable ques-
tions."
It is reported that robbers recently
attacked the customs station at Kun
chuk, in the West River country, and
obtained loot valued at $S000
General Chaffee has cleared himself
Of any suspicion of participating in
any Of the looting expeditions which
are said to be going on in China under
the disguise of punitive expeditions.

ing the debate the opposition senators
indicated that their line of attack upon
the bill would be against the creation
OF a large permanent standing army
There was intimation that objection

port the facts to the House, in order
that a constitutional basis of represen.

leaders on both sides. The Democrat
began a flibuster against the resolu
ton, and a number of the Republican
paired with absent Democrats, leaving
their absent colleagues impaired. A
