Cancer Made Reservations.

Washington. Dec 26.-It develop
j to-day that Minister Conger, in
SIGNING the agreement drafted by the.
Ministers in Pekin and presented to-
Prince Ching on Monday, made seN-
eralimportantr reservations. ADhong
,hsse reservations are the foil Owing:
Rejection of the terms agreed upon
hv the Powers and presented to the
Chinese ENJOYS does nof bind the
United States to join tn & other Pow
era in resuming hostilities.
The United States are MT bound
to maintain permanent guards in
China or to prevent the importation
n arms and ammunition.
Other reservations were made by
Mr.. Conger, but their character will
not be made public by Secretary Hay
until he receives from the Minister
the text OF the language he en-
ployed.
Mr.. Conger, OF course, acted under
Instructions in appending to the
agreement statement of the posi-
ton OF the United States. The au-
thorities we're apprehensive that the
Powers, in case OF the refusal of China
to accede to the demands, would be
under the impression that by sign
ing the agreement this government
was pledged to enforce compliance
with the terms. The President did
not propose to be placed in any such
position, and he directed Mr.. Conger,
therefore, to make clear the attitude
