Minister Conger Notifies Wash
ington Chinese Accept De-
mands Of Powers.
Request a Further Conference
and Ask That Military Ex-
cursiOns Cease.
Diplomats Do Not Consider the
Reply an Unconditional
Acceptance.

WASHINGTON, Dec. SI.-The state
department. has received dispatch
from Minister Conger at Peking, dated
Dec. 80, announcing that the Chinese
plenipotentiaries have notified the rep
resentatives of the powers that the
emperor DEGREES the acceptance of
their demands as a whole and Prince
Ching requests further conference.
They also desire that military ex!
cursions to the interior should cease.
1t is we'll known that this last re.
quest is in accordance with the views
of the president. -
In diplomatic quarters the accept
ance given by the Chinese ENJOYS is
regarded as most ingenious stroke of
diplomacy. Among diplomatic officials
it is said that this is not an uncondi.
tional acceptance, although it is such
a concurrence OF the general principle
of the note that the
Powers Cannot Set 1t Aside.
It appears to be directed toward re-.
securing more definite and, If possible,
more moderate conditions on some Of
the points involved. 1t is not clear
whether the ENJOYS will sign the note
first and then ask for negotiations or
endeavor to ameliorate the terms be-
fore the final signatures are affixed.
In any event, it is felt that the graver
features of the trouble are overcome
by the submissive attitude of the EN-.
peror and but little remains now but to
perfect the details OF the peace treaty
on the general lines heretofore laid
down.
Minister WI is back from his trip to
Mont Clare, n. j., but is still without
advlces from Peking as to what has
been done. The report of an edict
from the emperor directing an accept
ance has not reached the minister, so
there has been no occasion to confer
with the state department.

She was undergoing q struggle The

any one would pass. If she left him
he would likely die Of his wounds, of

He was unconscious, and it was plain,
even to her inexperienced eye, that he
was dangerously hurt. Every feeling
of revenge left her, and there took it's
place a fear that he might die before
she could get help. She slipped her arm

like lead, but her strength surprised
her. She lifted him toward the cart.
She grew faint, her arms failed, he
slipped to the: ground with moan.
"How awful she thought, wringing
her hands in desperation. Again
she clasped her arms about him,
strained under the weight until every
muscle in her body seemed on the
