The reply of the state department to the French note , relative to the bases of Chinese negotiations , was made public lafo to- dny. It rends : The Secretary of State to the French Charge d' ffalrs Sent to. M. Thclbaut , Oct. 9 , . 1900. Memorandum : The gov ernment of the United States agrees with that of Franco In recognizing aa the object to bo obtained fiom the government of China appropriate re paration for the past nnd substantial guarantees for the future. The president Is glad to perceive In the basis of negotiations put forward In the memorandum of October 4 the spirit that has animated the declara tions heretofore mndo by all the pow ers Interested nnd would bo pleased to sue the negotiations begun immediate ly on the usual verification of creden tials. It may ho convenient to oniim- erato the classes of < the memorandum and add some observations dictated by the attitude- the United States in the present circumstances : 1. The punishment of the guuiy par ties wlio may bo designated by the representatives of the powers at Pe- Icln. The Chinese government hns al ready Indicated its Intention to 'punish a number of those responsible for the recent disorders. The representatives of the powers at Pokln may suggest additions to that list when negotia tions aru entered upon. 2. The continuance of the Interdic tion against the Importation of arms. It Is not understood that this Interdic tion Is to be permanent and the dura tion of it nnd the details of its regula tion seem a proper subject of negotia tion by the negotiators. 3. Equitable Indemnities for the gov ernments , corporations and private Individuals. This Is nn object ilcBlrod by all the powers. The Russian gov ernment has suggested that In case of protracted divergence of views this matter might ho commended' to the consideration of the International court of arbitration of The Hague. The president thinks this suggestion worthy the attention of the powers. 1. The organization In Pokln of a permanent guard for the legations. The government of the United States Is unable to make any permanent , en gagement of this nature without nu- ) horlzatlon , of the legislative branch , but In the present emergency wo hnyo stationed In Pckln an adequate lega tion guard. 5. The dismantling of the forts at Taku. , The president reserves the ex pression of his opinion as to tills meas ure pending the receipt of further In formation in regard to the situation In China. C. The milltary/ficcupation of two or three points on 'tho road from Tien Tsln to Pekln. The same observation which has been mndo In reference to No.1 applies also to this proposition. The president Is unable to commit the United Stlites to a permanent partici pation in such occupation , but ho thinks It desirable thnt the powers shall obtain from the Chinese govern ment the assurance of their right to guard their legations in Pokln nnd to have the means of unrestricted access to them whenever required.
