shall have been agreed upon.
A representative of The Associated Press has
had personal interview with Ii Hung Chang
who shows plainly physical evidence Of his re
cent illness. but whose mind has not been af-
fected by his Sickness and who is as vigorous
ever. In the course Of his conversation Earl
Ii said he should prefer to meet the Ministers
and Commissioners at his house. If such
rangemen: were possible. account of the con-
dition of his health but would not in the cir
cumstances make suggestions. He said also
that the Emperor is desirous of complying in all
particulars with the demands of the Powers
On the other hand, he thinks the Powers
should order cessation OF the frequent irritat-
ing expeditions. which he locks upon as unnec-
essary and doing a good deal of harm. It
will be quite possible now he says to maintain
complete order in the province. with the assist
ance Of a small number Of Chinese troops; and
he hopes the Powers will agree TO keep as at
present the troops stationed at Peking and
Tien-Tsin and along the railway.
The Emperor. Ii Hung Chang asserts is will
ing to punish all those named by the Powers by
UaiA4Slineib 10 tne IurtneSI part or the Chinese
dominions, on the northwestern frontier, and
their return. he declares. will be prohibited un-
der penalty Of decapitation His Majesty is
anxious also 70 have the number OF legation
guards limited, and that other boundaries be
specified and he hopes the foreign armies will
be recalled as early possible in the spring
China will endeavor, says Earl Ii, by every
means in her power to prove that she intends
compliance with the demands contained in the
note and TO show her desire TO make the coun-
try safe and habitable for foreigners He be-
lieves the Powers will not insist upon the total
destruction Of the forts.

CALLING OUT FARMERS IN WESTERN CAPE

London. Jan. 2.-The Cape Town correspond
ent Of 1.-The Daily Mail' who dwells upon the
gravity OF the situation in Cape Colony. says:
The BOer invaders now number five thousand
Inc western invasion gives the most concern.
IL has split into two divisions which are march
ing ike the prongs Of fork. one by way Of
sutherlano' toward Malmesbury and the other
toward Beaufort West.
Ene enemy are now ranging over immense
tracts or territory, necessitating the employment
of an army corps to deal with them. Lord
kitchener has poured troops into the disturbed
areas. but the fugitive tactics Of the Beers have
10 a large extent neutralized his precautions.
II was felt that the only means OF excluding
tne invaders from the rich districts in the west
ern part OF the Colony 10 call out the farm
ers To-days kilograms promise a splendid re-
sponse from the eastern portion, but the west
efn rs doubtful not 30 per cent Of the population
being regarded as loyal Hence the BOer con-
centratiOn in that direction.
Letters are arriving here detailing damage
ano robbery by the invaders, and beseeching
nintary assistance. ANY action on the part of
the Colony will not abate the urgent need of
large reinfOrcenents.
