A GLOOMY VIEW OF THINGS.
Not Reassuring Forecast of the
Future-Archdeacon Farrar's
Sermon.

London, Dec. 31.-All the religious
denominations arranged for "end of
the century services" some of which
were held yesterday and others will
be held to-day.
At Westminster abbey Archdeacon
Frederick w. Farrar, preaching yes
terday, took gloomy view of the fu-
ture. He said he thought it by no
means improbable that early in the
coming century England would have
to meet a combination of European
powers. Referring to the serious
trade competition of Germany and the
United States" he appealed to Eng
land to rouse herself. Abiding to the
national curse of intemperance, he
said that Rev. Charles H. Sheldon had
told him that he had seen more
drunkenness in England in one year
than in his own country. the United
States, in whole lifetime.

THE CHINESE SURRENDER.
ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching Ordered
to Sign the Powers Joint
Note,

Pekin, Dec. 31.-The Chinese pleni-
potentiaries have been Unexpectedly
ordered to sign the preliminary joint
note, and have notified the foreign
ENJOYS TO that effect.
The Chinese themselves were great
ly astonished at receiving the inn
perial instructions. Neither Ii Hung
Chang nor Prince Ching had expect
ed success in pursuading the court un-
der ten days.
The emperor's instructions are to
agree fully to the note, but to endeav-
or to get the best terms possible,
particularly in the matter of limiting
the number of the legation guards
and, also, as to the places where these
are to be located.
The plenipotentiaries are instructed
to endeavor to limit the number of
army posts along the line OF railway
to as few as possible, and finally to
request the powers not to destroy
the forts, but merely to dsarm them.
Ii Hung Changes health is bad, and
it is doubtful whether he will be able
to do more than to affix his signature
to an instrument delegating his pow
ers to Prince Ching until another
plenipotentiary has been appointed.
He was dressed yesterday morning
and carried in a chair to the residence
of Prince Ching, with whom he held
long consultation. Prince Ching
then called upon the doyen of the
diplomatic corps, the Spanish minis
ter, Senor De Cologan, and requested
him to notify the other ENJOYS that
instructions had been received from
the emperor to sign the note.

SWEDEN'S FOREIGN TRADE.
Efforts to he Made for More Direct
and Closer Trade With the
United states.

Stockholm, Dec. 3O.-The commits
sion for the promotion of Sweden's
foreign commerce proposes the estab-
lishment of regular steamer lines to
the United States and South Ameri-
ca, particularly the United States,
whence imports are rapidly growing,
while Swedish exports are unimpor-
tant, Sweden, at present, receives
American goods chiefly through Lon
don, Hamburg and Antwerp, and they
appear in Swedish statistics as not
from the United States. The commits
sion proposes bounties for the two
lines to the United States and South
America, and also sets forth that
bountied lines from Sweden to Russia
are desira Bile.
