STOP THE RAIDS

IF ALLOWED.
KEEP FOREIGNERS IN PEKlN.
Natives Can and Will Keep the Peace
if Punitive Raids are stopped -
Reduce the Guards.

Pekin. Dec. 3l.-A meeting of the for
egn ministers will be held as soon as
Sir Ernest Mason Satow, the British
minister. who is suffering from chil.s
and fever, shall have recovered Suffi-
GENTLY to be present. and when a date
and place for meeting the Chinese com
missioners shall have been agreed upon.
A representative of the Associated
Press today had a personal interview
with Ii Hung Chang, who shows plainly
evidences of his recent illnessN but
whose mind has not been affected by
his sickness and is as vigorous as ever.
In the course of his converse ton with
the correspondent Earl Ii said he
should prefer to meet the ministers at
his house on account of the condition
of his health. but would not. under the
circumstances, make any suggestions.
He says that the emperor is DESTROYS of
complying with every demand of the
powers. On the other hand, he thinks
the punitive expeditions should be dis
continued as unnecessary and as doing
a great deal of harm. 1t was quite pos
sfbe now. he thought to maintain COM
pete order in the provinces With a small
number of Chinese troops. and he hopes
the powers will agree to keep the troops
now stationed at Pekin and Tien Tsn
and along the railway. The emperor. he
says, is willing to punish all those
named by the powers by Punishment to
the furthest part of the dominion. in
the northwest, and their return. he de-
clares, will be prohibited under penalty
of death. His majesty is anxious also
to have the number of legation guards
limited and that other boundaries be
specified, and he hopes the foreign
armies will be recalled as early as pos
sible in the spring. China will en-
deavor, 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 country safe and haDitable
for foreigners. He believes the powers
will not insist upon the total destruc>
ton of the fortified tons.

ARE INUNDATED
BOER VICTORIES A DISGRACE TO
THE BRITONS.
START OF A SORRY NEW YEAR.
Floods at Home, Reverse to Their
Arms Abroad-Army Scandals
Coming Up.

New York. Jan. IA special to the
Tribune from London says:
The last day of a disagreeable and
disappointing year was most depressing.
Floods We're covering the lands north
and south and west from unceasing
rains. and the Birmingham canal was
breaking loose in Staffordshire ana
causing great havoc. The war news
was bad. and the war office manage
ment was worse Additional details Of
the British reverse at Helvetia shows
that famous fighting regiment bearing
the names of glorious battletields on
it's colors. had been surprised at night
when strongly entrenched and had lost
one of it's best guns in surrendering it
to the Beers. The fact that the Beers
invariably release their prisoners does
not render such incidents less humilat-
ing to English pride. The bitterest
dregs in the cup for. English lips
throughout the campaign have been the
evil tidings that their best battaions
have been entrapped, taken off their
guard and captured. With their guns.
and there was a draught of this kind
to leave a had taste in the mouth a
the end OF the year. There was also
a feeling o. expectation over a fresh
scandal almost as bad as the publication
of the Spion llop disaster, which would
involve the laundrying of military rep
utations under the public pump Gen.
Colvlle confirmed the general impress
sion that he was seeking a trial by
newspapers by issuing yesterday q Sec
Ond statement and then reserving his
case until Lord Roberts return. Mil
itary men shrug their shoulders over
his unprofessional conduct in getting the
public ear for himself and scattering
broadcast destinations against the gem
eral staff when Lord Roberts is nearing
the coast of England. They are inclined
to say with Corporal Brewster, 1T would
not have been done in the days of the
dock"
The spirit and cosency of his defense
are considered the worst possible mill
tary form for COlVille to rush into print
as though he We're not convinced that
his case had been closed. 1t is not vet
known whether Lord Roberts report
upon the Lindley affair was filed before
Lord Lansdowne left the war office Mr.
Broderick's friends say that he has not
