TO REPLACE TsUNG-LI-YAMEN.
Envoys Accept Reckhilrs Proposal

EnNoys Accept Rackhill's Proposal
to Establish II Foreign Board.
Washington. April 17.-Thc action of
thc ministers at Peking in accepting
the proposition of Mr.. Rockhll for the
establishment of foreign board to
take the place of the tSung-li- -yamen is
in line with what has been expected at
the state department, although the de-
tails of the plan are somewhat different
from those first contemplated.
The tsung-li-yamen has been cum
bersome body. very difficult for for
cgn officials to deal with chiefly be-
cause of its inability TO take decisive
action. The first plan was to establish
Il Chinese minister of foreign affairs in
place of this old board, so that foreign
negotiations could he carried on with
one individual. he To he member
of the priyy council, with access to
the throne.
Ii appears that this has not proved
feasible, as the Chinese cling to the
old idea of boards instead of individual
authority. And the result, the new
plan, is to have a foreign board with
prince of the blood at its head and with
two members of the privy council serv-
ing eN otfico. These three will be able
TO do business much more eXpeditiously
than the large. cumbersome tsung-li-
yamen, and. besides. each will have ac-
cess 10 the emperor in order to secure
the imperial sanction for such foreign
negotiations ms may he brought mp.
While this plan Is not considered us
satisfactory ms that first contemplated.

system.
