INDEMNITIES AND TREATIES,
Difficulty Apprehended in Settling I'M.
pOrtant Matters.

Following at an interval Of one day close
upon his announcement that the Chinese
emperor had decreed the acceptance Of the
Pekin agreement. Minister Conger cabled
the State Department, under date of Pekin
January I, that the next step had been
taken, and that the ministers had been for
mally notified not only that the agreement
was accepted by the Chinese government
but that tnat government felt able to guar
antee a performance of the conditions i'm
posed.
1t is apprehended that there will be much
difficulty in settling the important subject
Of indemnities. and the Encouragement of
the commercial treaties between China and
the civilized powers, which is provided for
only in general terms in the agreement is
expected to present equal difficulties in the
arrangement of details. 1t is absolutely es-
sential to harmonious relations in the fu-
ture that there shall be no discrimination
in the making of these treaties. If by COW
ert arrangement one power Is to obtain
commercial advantages Of the others the re-
suit will be the cause Of dissatisfaction
Therefore. it Is within the bounds of prob
ability that the outcome of the negotiations
under this subhead Of the agreement touch
Ing commercial arrangements will be the
framing of something like a general con-
vention, which may be signed collectively or
singly by the powers, but which will insure
uniform treatment to all.
The Chinese governments guarantee Of Its
ability to perform the acts called for by
the agreement is now expected TO be fol-
lowed by the prompt arrest and punish
ment Of the Boxer leaders and sympathZ-
ers who were named in the decree of Sep
tember 25, as follows: Prince Chwan, Prince
Yth, Secondary Princes Tsai Lien and Tsa
Ying, Prince Tuan, Duke Tsai Ian and the
president of the censorate, Ying Men,

Mr.. GOODNOW AT FRISCO
CONSUL GENERAL TO CHINA DIS
CUSSES THE BOXERS.
Says the Revolt Was Not n Popular
Uprising by Any
Means.

SAN FRANCISCO, January 2.-John
Goodnow, United States consul general to
China, with residence at Shanghai, arrived
in this city the City of Pekin. After a
brief visit to Washington he VIII spend his
sixty days leave of absence at his old
home in Minnesota.
In speaking of the probable outcome OF
the Chinese troubles the consul general
said:
II believe a satisfactory settlement will
be reached along the Ines laid down by the
President. Those Chinese who are working
for the integrity of their country are
friendly toward the United States and are
ready to assist in a prompt and amicabie
settlement. The uprising was by no means
popular move with the great mass OF the
peaceab Chinese population. From the
first they deplored the acts of their fellow
countrymen."
in regard to the missionaries and their
position in China, Mr.. GoodnoW thinks
there is still a great field for successful
work, and their presence in the orient
should be encouraged. He, however, is OF
the opinion that it would not be best to
send missionaries outside the treaty ports
until peace has been proclaimed.
Mr.. Goodnow has good word for the
American troops which were sent to China,
band of women sent by a phianthropic
con mttee of New York people, of which
Mrs. Whiteaw Reid chairman, to pro-
vide the sick and needy with hospital sup
piles and comforts. Two members of this
band returned on the Pekn. They are Miss
E. B. Ridley and Miss M. Henshaw.
A. F. Chanot, proprietor Of the Hotel de
Pekin, which was destroyed during the
Boxer outrage, is also here. He and his
wife were intrenched in the hotel during
the terrible siege, and miraculously es-
capped the deadly fire of shrapnel which
ultimately leveled the hotel building to the
ground. Chanot brought with him a pony
which was to have been sacrificed for food
on the very day that rescue came from the
allied armies.

rates a New System.
CHICAGO, January 2.-The Tribune saws:
The Chicago and Northwestern railway on
January 1 put into effect it's system for
pensioning it's old and deserving employees.
The system is in most respects Identical
with that which the Pennsylvania railroad
put in effect some two years ago. Any en-
ploye who is between sixty-five and sixty
nine years of age, and who has been thirty
years In the service of the road, and who
is disabled in service, will receive a pension
of 1 per cent per month calculated upon
his monthly rate Of wages for the last ten
years of his service with the company.
Any empioye who has reached the age of
seventy years, and who has been thirty
years in the employ of the company, will
be retired upon a pension of / per cent per
month, calculated upon the monthly rate OF
wages paid him for the last ten years. TO
carry out the plan the Northwestern has
established a pension board, composed OF
William A. Gardner, general manager: Ed
ward c. Gardner chief engineer; Richard
{. Ashton, general superintendent: Robert
Quayle, superintendent of motive power and
machinery, and w. H. Sterritt, auditor OF
expenditures.
Northwestern officials claim that the new
system will benefit $4,000 persons on their
lines, and that the cost will be but $2OO,yOU
per annum.

sUEZ CANAL TRAFFIC.
Substantial Increase Shown for
Year 1900.

Substantial Increase Shown for the
Year 1900.
There was a substantial increase In the
traffic through the Suez canal in 1899, as
compared with the previous year, according
to statistics furnished the Department Of
State by United States Consul Hossfeld at
Trieste, Austria.
A total Of 3,503 vessels passed through the
canal in 1893, and in 1899 the number was
increased to 1907. representing an increase
of 104 vessels, and gain Of 657,O17 tons.
The average time consumed In passing
through the canal in 1899 was eighteen
hours and thirty-eight minutes, about half
an hour longer than was necessary during
the previous year. This is accounted for
by the fact that vessels passing through
the canal under quarantine are compelled
to avoid any contact with land. and must
stop at night, unless provided with electric
lights. Ninety per cent of the vessels pass
ing through the canal in 1899 were provided
with electric lights, as against "a per cent
during the previous year. 1t is worthy of
note that only 327 steamers which went
through in 1899 were making their first
passage Of the canal.
