Earl Lii Hung Chang and Prince
Ching Announce Their Desire to
Sign Any Kind of Agreement.
MANY DEBATABLE QUESTIONS
TWO HUNDRED POINTS TO BE DIS
CUSSED ny ENJOYS.
Gen. Won Waldersee Cables to His
Countess that ''Peace Is in Sight
mt Last and Adds sHurrah."

PEKING, Jan. 3.-At a meeting Of the
foreign ministers to-day it was announced
that Ii Hung Chang and Prince Ching
were prepared to sign any agreement as
soon as it is ready for signature. Ii Hung
Chang desires to conduct the peace negotia-
tions to a conclusion and the physicians
attending him think he might be taken to
the Spanish legation, where the confer
ences have been held. if the weather is
favorable.
1t seems to be the opinion of some of the
ENJOYS that the acceptance of the terms of
the note by the Chinese is not explicit
enough. The Chinese desire for consulta-
tions regarding the razing of the forts and
the legation guards is open to misinterpre-
tation and liable to lead to long and con-
tinuous arguments, which might, in the
opinion of some of the ministers, simply
mean sparring for time on the part of the
Chinese. Consequently. it was decided at
the meeting yesterday to notify the Chi
nese that they must sign the note before
the meeting between them and the foreign
ENJOYS can be held.
Sir Ernest Satow, who has been suffering
from chills and fever, is better.
The military engineers OF the allies have
agreed upon plan for the future defenses
of the legations.

Prince su May Go to Berlin.

LONDON, Jan. 4.-Wiring from Picking

he believes that Prince Su. whose palace
was destroyed during the siege Of the lega-
tions. will be chosen to go to Berlin TO
apologize for the murder of Baron Won
Ketteler. He says Prince Su is OF higher
rank than Prince Ching and conducts the
imperial sacrifices in the absence of EN-
peror Kwang Su.

sia retains half the rolling stock for the
section from Shan-Hai-Kwan TO Neu-
chwang and holds lien on the railway for

propriates the workshops at Shan-Hai-
Kwan with all their contents. Great
Britain is trying to modify these onerous
conditions. which will probably be agreed
to by Count Won Waldersee, as no German
interests are involved"

Another Resolution Similar TO mrs

sentative Shattuc, of Ohio.


Special to the Indianapolis Journal
WASHINGTON, Jan. 3-The House az
forded even a bigger surprise than the Sen
ate to-day. No one but the favored Few
who were In the secret dreamed that the
question OF reduction OF Southern con-
gressional representation under the four
teenth amendment would be sprung. Judge
Crumpacker, who had introduced bill 10
enforce such reduction. was absent There
was barely a quorum present when all the
representatives in the city were gathered
in the hall The Democrats were unpre-
pared for immediate consideration OF the
question. as brought up by Mr.. olmstead's
resolution. All Mr.. Richardson could think
of was to deny that the resolution was one
Of privilege-that is. one that under the
rules must be considered whenever pre-
sented.
When the speaker ruled against him he
sat in a state of complete bewiljerment-
His lieutenant, Mr.. Underwood. OF Ala
bama. came TO the rescue. making the OBJ
vious point that a quorum was not present,
and when the speaker sustained the point,
after carefully counting the members pres
ent, he promptly moved to adjourn.
After nearly two hours filibustering under
Mr.. Underwood's lead the House ad-
journed. thus giving the demoralized Demo-

the best course for them TO pursue. There
are some shrewd politicians among them.
who say the proper course is 10 let the
resolution pass. Why should they want to
defeat it, these men argue. 1t simply pro-
poses an inquiry and report as to the state
of affairs existing in certain States. or
rather in all the States. When that report
has been made and legislation begun TO
actually reduce representation in some OF
the States, II is time enough. they say, to
make a fight. To fight the Olmstead resolu-
ton, is, according to their view,, TO fight
a shadow Whether their counsels will pre-
vail remains to be seen. Probably they will
not. for the present Democratic member
ship and leadership in Congress is much
given to what is styled peanut politics.
The resolution being merely an instruc-
ton that the census committee inquire into
and report as to a certain alleged condi-
ton, its adoption would not delay the
passage of the reapportionment bill. Had
il not been for the Olmstead resolution
thrusting Itself into the arena the Hopkins
bill would have been taken UP to-day and
the fight between ii and the Burleigh bill
begun in good earnest. 1t is believed In
certain quarters-perhaps the hope is the
father OF the belief-that the Hopkins bill
is doomed TO defeat. Hopkins himself IL
not so sure as he was of its success. nor,
for reasons heretofore stated. so anxious
that it should succeed.

1t was useless to continue the present in
human struggle, pointing out that the pow
ers had refused Mr.. Kruger's requests for
Intervention. The burghers, he said, had
fought a good fight, but thew had been
overpowered, and there was no dishoner in
the leaders recognizing that fact. He re-
minded them that there were hosts of Boer
prisoners waiting to be restored to their
families.

tunately they had not been allowed TO reach
the burghers. and he trusted that the COM
mittee would make known the facts to the
Beers in the field. as he desired to give
them every chance to surrender and wished
to finish the war by the most humane
means possible. He promised to give the
committee notice if compelled to abandon

OH to explain his recent proclamations, con-
irming the statement that those who had
broken oaths of neutrality would be treat

told the committee that all would be ac-
commodated, with their families, in pro-
tected laagers along the line of railway.
He asserted that it was imperative to clear

Vote Before Adjournment.
DEBATE ON ARMY MEASURE
DEMOCRATS NOT FAVORABLE TO A
LARGE PERMANENT INCREASE,
But willing to Give the President
Authority to Suppress the Rebel
lion I'm the Philippines.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. Jan. 3-Congress began
to-day after the holiday vacation with a
snap. In the Senate the shipping subsidy
bill was promptly side-tracked In favor
of the army reorganization bill. The latter
measure has been labeled must" by the
President The opposition to the sub
sidy bill will not permit vote to be
reached on IL in a hurry, for they know
that though that measure Is scotched 1t Is
not killed 1t could be taken up again
after the army bill Is disposed or
mere majority vote would suffice TO ac-
complish this end. Senator Pcttigrew told
the Journal correspondent after adjourn
r.ent that he had not changed his plans
IN the least and the first thing on his
programme is the defeat Of the subsidy
bin. He showed no elation at the substitu-
ton OF the army bill for the other. because
he knows how easily the subsidy measure
could be brought forward and made the
unfinished business Of the Senate. How
ever. the action of the Senate to-day Is
a setback for the subsidy that its cham
pions do not accept cheerfully. They know
II will be made as difficult as possible to
bring the subsidy scheme up again. and
that every possible obstacle that can be
placed In it's path under parliamentary
practice as 1t obtains in the Senate will be
brought to bear against it. The situation
tonight Is such as would justify betting
man 10 lay odds against the subsidy bill
becoming law Or even passing the Senate
at this Congress.
