these reports were of the hair-raising order. and

contracts to lease the property were signed yes
terday by the person who would erect the hote'-

offers have been accepted is evident. because the
property IS still in the market

of important properties. In one of these
deals John T. McDonad. the contractor. figured

and No III to 122 West Thirty-SeCOnd-st.. The de
tails of the transaction are given elsewhere

Do Nat Take Hopeful View Relative
to China.
Pekin, Jan. 3.-SeVcral recent Oc-
currences tend to discourage the hope
that the dOwager empress had learned
a lesson of reform from events of the
past year. Foreigners are disposed
to take a pessimistic view Of the
outlook. General Yung LUIS deter
minatiOn to organize two anti-fOreign
army crops, to offset the commands of
the prO-fOreign Chinese leaders is
particularly disquieting and is evi-
dence of the continued domination of
his influence which is bitterly anti
foreign.
Other incidents which are con
sidered significant are the suppress
sion of the only Independent news
paper in this city by order of the
governor 81 Pekin and the closing of
the industrial school here, recently
organized by philanthrOpic Chinese.
also by the governors order. This
school was intended for the training
OF destitute youths. Other liberal
Chinese will hesitate now to give
practical vent to their theories, fear
ing the displeasure of the officials.
