A HITCH AT PEKIN.
Demands Presented by the French Minister
to China.

to China.
Pekin, Jan. 13.-The French Min
lister, M. Beau, refuses to present his
credentials until China fulfills certain
demands of the French Government.
The joint audience of the foreign and
new Chinese Ministers, which had
been arranged, had been postponed
because of NJ Beau's action. His
colleagues are discussing whether to
support him or not. A repltition Of
the Turkish incident is considered
possible.
The Dowager Empress today follow
ed up her friendly advances by send
ing verbal messages to several of the
Ministers, thanking them for the care
they had taken of the palace and ex-
pressing pleasure at the reception &C
corded by the foreigners on the occa'
sion of their Majesties' entry into
Pexin.
The report of the arrest of General
Tung Fuh Slang, whose decapitatlon
has been ordered by the Dowager EN-
press, is incorrect. The Tartar Gener-
al, who is Governor of Kwan Su, was
afraid to execute the orders he re-
ceived, owing to Tung Flu Slang's In
fiuence among the MOhammedans,
who dominate the Province. The Gov.
ernor feared that the Arrest of Tung
Fuh Slang would incite the Moham'
medans to rebellion.
