CHINA'S PREPARATION.
MEASURES TAKEN TO SATISFY THE
POWERS FOR THE BOXER OUTBREAK.

Washington. Oct 26-The final protocol clos
ing negotiations at Peking between the Chinese
plenipotentaries and the representatives OF the
powers, as submitted by Special Commissioner
Rockhill to the State Department, is a long
document. consisting of twelve articles In gen.
eral terms these recite the measures taken by
China to satisfy the powers for the Boxer out
break and the assassination of the German Min
lister. such the dispatch of the embassy to
Berlin, the promise to erect monument to the
memory Of Won Ketteler, and a memorial arch
(work on which has already begun). and the in
fiction OF various punishments on the Chinese
officials who were characterized the principal
authors OF the outrages and crimes committed
against the foreign governments and their ma
tionals. Characteristic Chinese methods appear
in the posthumous degradation OF officials and
the rehabilitation OF the memory of others who
protested against the outrageous breaches OF
international law, and were therefore put TO
death. The protocol also shows that reparation
was made for the assassination of the Japanese
Chancellor of Legation by special mission 10
japan. and it appears that the Chinese Govern
ment already has erected expiatory monuments
In each Of the foreign or international ceme-
teries which We're desecrated.
Other articles prohibit the importation Cf arms
or ammunition or materials for their manu-
facture. and this decree may be renewed every
two years. Article VI provides for the total In
demnity Of 45O.OO0O00 taels. with full particu-
lars of the method of amortization and distri-
button among the powers each or which is to be
represented by delegate on the commission OF
bankers to receive the interest. The Chinese
Government undertakes 10 deliver to the doyen
OF the corps at Peking bond for the lump sum,
which is 10 be divided into fractional bonds.
This article also provides for the conversion Of
ad valorem into specific duties, and the i'm
provement of the Pei-Ho and Whang- Poo at
the joint expense of the foreign interests and
China. Article Y looks to the future. prohibit
ing Chinese membership in any anti-foregn So
ciety under pain Of death. prohibiting examna-
tions in cities where foreigners massa-
cred, and providing for the dismissal OF
governors who hereafter permit anti-foreign
troubles. The last article transforms the Tsuug
n-Yamen into a Ministry OF Foreign Affairs
under the name Of Wai-Wu-Pu which takes
precedence the six other ministries of state.
