Eearly All Envoys at Pekin Have Re ceived Instructions. THE WORK MAY CE01M TUESDAY Diplomat* Will Immediately Commence Conference With China'* I’lenlpotentl arle* anil Emperor Will Return to I’e kin to Execute the Treaties. PEKIN, Dec. 10.—All the foreign envoys except. Sir Ernest Mason Sa tow, the British minister, have re reiveil instructions from their govern ments agreeing to the joint note, pro posed at the last meeting. Another meeting will probably be called for Tuesday next. Should the British minister have received his in structions to sign the joint note by that time, communications will be im mediately opened with Prince Ching and i,i Hung Chang, who are in daily touch with the court by the Chinese telegraph. Prince Ching says Emperor Kwang Su is ready to return as soon as as sured that the negotiations will allow him to come under conditions conso nant with his dignity and safety. The removal of General Tung Hsiang from the command of the Chi nese forces surrounding the court is considered by the foreign envoys to be a very important step, as indicat ing the real desire of the government to come to terms. Fu Hsiang's ban ishment indicates that the court rec ognizes the expediency of obeying the demands of the powers. The international club was opened today, its object being to bring to gether in a spirit special harmony the officers and diplomats of the various nations. There was a large company present and music was discoursed by military bands. It is expected that the club will continue a great success. The building was formerly an imperial temple. The envoys are considering the question of legation buildings in the future. At present none of the gov ernments own its buildings, all the houses being rented. The only ones not damaged considerably are the American, British and Russian. It is proposed that all the legation buildings should be concentrated within a souare mile. WASHINGTON, Dec. 10—The next Important step in the Chinese situl tion will be the formal presentation to the Chinese plenipotentiaries of the agreement arrived at between the rep resentatives of the powers at Pekin for reparation for the Boxer outrages. In just what manner this will be done. Mr. Conger has not informed the state department, although the probability is that the document will lie handed to the Chinese by the dean of the diplomatic corps. As has been stated already, the agreement is simply a statement of the terms upon which the powers will negotiate with China for a final set tlement, and is laid before the Chi nese officials as a matter of form. The negotiations for final settlement will come later, after the Chinese have been given a reasonable oppor tunity for the consideration of the conditions laid down by the powers. Ttie complete agreement deciphered from the code is now in the hands of t.he president. Officials decline to make its text public in advance of the receipt of information that it has been formally accepted by the powers, although the advices which have here tofore come from Mr. Conger leaves no doubt that this will be the case. Thp essential features of the agree ment already have been outlined in the press dispatches. ITncle Sjiih'm l!o;tt Huililing.

Dec. 10.—The sen i ate will continue to give its attention to the Hay-Pauneefote treaty and the ship subsidy bill during the present week, taking up first one and then the other as mav suit the convenience of those who may wish to speak on the two meausros. During the last ses sion of congress the Nicaragua canal bill was made the special order of business for Monday next, but the establishment of the ship bill as the regular order will have iho effect of ; displacing the canal 1)111. precedence I being given under the senate rules i to a regular order ovar a special i order. It is understood that Senator Morgan, who has charge of the can al bill, will not press that measure until the treaty for the abrogation of the Clayton 3ulwer treaty is dis posed of. Ou this account the friends of the ship bill do not apprehend that he will make any opposition to the continuance of the consideration of that measure. He has indeed .'.aid said that we would be content to al low his bill to follow close in tha wake of the ship bill. Three or four set speeches are prom ised in opposition to the subsidy bill and it Is expected that most, if not all. of those already in sight will be made during thi3 week. Among those who probably will speak on the sub ject are Senators Clay, Vest and Par ry, all of whom oppose the bill. Sen ator Vest is an especial advocate of free ships. There are differences of opinion as to what effect the taking of a vote on the fortifications amendment to the treaty will have upon the time of disposing of that instrument, hut a majority of the senators express the opinion that, the vote upon the treaty will follow' very rioon after the vote urv*n the amendment. The program in the house for the coming week contemplates the con sideration and passage of the legis lative. executive and judicial appro priation hill and the hill for the re duction of the war revenue taxes. Wednesday will he a dies non. so fa*1 as legislation is concerned, as on that day the exercises in connection with the centennial celebration of the re moval of *he seat of government to Washington will be held in the house The legislative appropriation bill is not expected to consume more than two days at most, probably only one, and the leaders expect that the re mainder of the weeefc will suffice to pass the war revenue reduction act. It is probaole that special interests which do not receive the consideration in the bill which they think they are entitled to will attempt to amend it. This is specially true of the brew ing interests, which hope to secure a further rediutlon of the tax on beer from $1.50 a barrel, as fixed by the committee, to $1.35 a barrel. CAPTURED WITHOUT CONTEST Soldiers Meet With Little Resistance From Insurgents. MANILA. Dec. 10.—While the cap tures of supplies and the occupation of new points are quite numerous, those involving actual fighting are comparatively few. Apparently the insurgents are falling back at all con contested points, sacrificing their pos sessions in most case and satisfied to save themselves. A detachment of the Forty-seventh I'nited States volunteer infantry from the Island of Catandunes. off the southeast coast of Luzon relinquished an attempt to land near Pandan. On anchoring, the American were fired upon hv sixty riflemen and after a short engagement they cut the anchor chain and sailed for Catanduanes with two killed and two wounded. The names have not yet been received here. Captain Richard T. Kills of the Thirty-third volunteer infantry, cap tured in the mountains near Barbara a large quantity of Krag. Mauser and Remington ammunition, together with a signal outfit, a printing press and other equipment. All of this was de stroyed. Thirty rifles and several hun dred cartridges were secured at Vic toria. Grout Hill Goes Through. WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—The house today passed the Grout oleomargarine bill by a vote of 196 to 9". The sub stitute offered by the minority of the committee on agriculture, which im posed additional restrictions on the sale of oleomargarine to prevent the fraudulent sale of butter and increas ed the penalties for violation, was defeated by a vote of 118 to 178. The bill as passed makes articles known as oleomargarine, butterine, imitation butter or imitation cheese transported into any state or territory for con sumption or sale subject to the police power of such state or territory.

Canton -se Reformer, Fortner Adviser to K*vang 8u. Wants Emperor Restored. VICEROYS ARE NOT TO BE TRUSTED Foreigners Hold Tliut fCmpren* should Not He Allowed to Interfere and That Heartiouary OfflcUU .Should lie Very Closely TVatrhed. PEKIN, Dec. 8.—Mr. Cot)£or. the United States minister, and other for eign envoys, received today a letter signed by Kang Yu Wei, the well known Cantonese reformer, who was formerly an adviser of Emperor Kwang Su and who has always been favorable to foreigners. Kang Yu Wei .-ays that great calamities* have befallen China through the empress dowager and also in consequence of her advisers, Prince Tuan, Print e Ching, Yung Lu, Yang Yi, Chao Shu, Chian, Muang Ru, Moyn kuen and Hiang. He says he is thank ful that the foreigners held out in .he legation buildings in Pekin and that all the Chinese who understand the law of nations regret the murder of Baron von Ketteler. He then says he desires to make suggestions which will insure the just punishment of the real culprits, satisfaction to the different countries and a permanent settlement of the international relations of China.” He urges: Pirat—That the empress and her ad visers should not be allowed to vio late the peace. Second—That the emperor, who is a friend of foreigners, should he re stored. Third—That ail reactionary officials should be arrested and that a careful watch should be kept over the so called friendly viceroys in the south. Unless Yung Lu. Prince Tuan.and the others* are severely dealt with, Katiig Yu Wei contends that they will continue to say that the foreigners are powerless. "The foreigners should not rely upon the viceroys.” continues the Cantonese reformer. "They send men. money and armament to the empress and are her •ary. be restored the empire would rejoice. The emperor’s party consists of the most enlightened men. who are friendly to foreigners and desire to incorporate western civilization and culture in an ancient country." Kang Yu Wei points out that he was appointed for the task by a secret edict of the emperor in 1898, when he made his appeal on behalf of the emperor to tne foreign powers. "An appeal, which had they listened to. would probably have prevented what has happened." PISHING RtBf LS IN LIZON. Troop* Keep the Kittle Brown Men on Keen •lump. MANILA, Dec. 8.—More activity Is shown in the operations in northern and southern Luzon. The reports from the former district come in more quickly and telegraphic instruc tions are fewer. General Funston, with Troop A of the Fourth cavalry and a score of scouts, last Thursday encountered a hundred insurgents posted on t.he op posite bank of the Mehico river. The Americans < hargcd across the stream and the enemy retreated, tiring from cover. They left four dead on the field. A native who was captured re ported that Fagin, a deserter from the Twenty-fourth infantry, who has been active with the Filipinos, with a party of two cavalrymen, had been wounded. Lieutenant Morrow, with fifty men from the Forty-seventh r* giment, at tacked and occupied Buluean. While returning these troops encountered Colonel Virtoris, occupying an en trenched position, with thirty rifles and 300 bolomon. Lieutenant Mor row's force charged and drove the enemy from their position, it is be lieved. with heavy loss. Preceding the tight the expedition had captured Major Flores and several of his fol lowers. An engagement is reported to have occurred near San Roque, iu which, according to natives, fifty rebels were killed. Several minor encounters and cap ture are also reported. The Amer ican casualties have been very slight. Ask Herrei»ry (iagt to Itemaln. WASHINGTON, Dee. X.—President Homer of the Baltimore «,lt»arliiK house and thirty of the prominent business men reprpesenting the clearing house, the savings bank and the Merchants’ and Manufacturers’ association of Bal timore. called in a body today at tho Treasury department and urged Sec retary Gage to accept the invitation of the president to remain at the head of the Treasury department for another four yea is.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.—Repre sentative Taylor of Ohio, who was prominently identified with the move ment to exclude Brigham Roberts of Ftah from a seat in congress, today introduced a measure intended to bring about federal prohibition of polygamy. It proposes a constitution al amendment for uniform laws on marriage and divorce. Mr. Taylor says, however, that his aim goes con siderably beyond a mere uniformr of such laws, and is expressly de signed to reach polygamy, and put an end to it. THE LIVE STOCK MARKET, j Llt«it Quotations from Smith Onesha NM<1 Kansas CltT. SOl'TH OMAHA. Union Stock Yard*. -Cattle—There was a fairly good run of cattle, but the tnat ket was 111 good Shape on the better kinds of both fat cattle and feeder*. The corn red steers were In good demand if the quullt} "as satisfactory and they sold at Knot! steady prices as compared wtih yes* I terdny. The half fat stuff, however, was. as slow sale as ever and sellers in some cases experienced some difficult} In get ting what they called stead}' prices. There were about thirty cars ol cow stuff on sale, and tin market on the better grade* of cows and heifers was steady and the demand in good shape. There were a good many common cows offered, and on such the market was mean. Buyers bid very unevenly on them, but as a general thing sellers had to take less money for them than they would have brought yes terday. The market on that class of cat tle was rather draggy. The supply of good feeders was rather limited, and as buyers all wanted a few they paid good strong prices In order to get them. The demand from the country, while not heavy, is fully eipial to the supply so far as choice cattle are concerned. Hange cattle were scarce on the market. Hogs— Receipts were not excessive and as the demand was In good shape the market here opened up .VhT'je higher. Buyers though! they were paying too much for their hogs, as Chicago reported the bulk there at fi.x5fa4.95 ami sellers at tills point were holding their droves at $4.X2tyu4.N5. They had to have hogs, how ever, and final)} decided to pay the prices. The market was active at the advance and the hulk of the offerings changed I hands early in the morning. There was | no very radical change in the market from start to finish, the great bulk of the hogs going at $4.82Vft4.!vj, with u few loads at H.ST’jj. Sheup—1There was a light run here and receipts were composed mostly of lambs A choice hunch ot native fed lambs sold as high as $5.25. or about steady, but the western lambs sold generally a dime low er. The market was not particularly act ive, as packers were not anxious for sup plies. There were not enough fat shotp on sale to make a test of the maprket. A bunch of native ewes brought $$.50. which is probably as much as they would have brought yesterday. Aside from that string there was very little good stuff on sale and the market could be called steady to a little easier. Cattle—Receipts. ij.500 natives, 1.300 Texans, 500 calves; the liberal supply caused a slight depreciation In values for the least desirable lots, while choice grades ruled steady; native steers. $1.50 ,'o5.:;o; stockers and feed, rs. $3.O0ft4.20; butcher cows and heifers. $3.P0#n,.nn; part ners. $2.50(313.00: fed westerns. $3.504t 4.90; fed Texans. $5.TO'ii4.25 grass Texans, $3 00 *f 3.110: calves.

IMMIGRATION IS INCRTASING Comtnissloner'ft Report hliowi a Net C*tilu Over 1-ant War. WASHINGTON. D. C.. Dec. 8—The annual report of the commissioner gpneral of immigation shows that dur ing the last fiscal year the total num l>er of immigrants who arrived in this country was 448,57- of which 23,200 came through Canada. Of the whole number 304,148 were males and 144 442 females. This is a net increase over 1809 of 136,857. These figures, how ever, the commissioner general says, do not show the total number of alien arrivals, as 65,635 aliens came as cabin passengers. They would have swelled the total immigration to 514,207 had they traveled in the steerage. The figures show that of the whole number of arrivals 424,700 came from European countries, 17,946 from Asia, thirty from Africa and 5,895 from all othher places.. Switzerland and Spain and the Spanish islands show a small decrease in immigration, while Austro Hungary shows an increase of 83 per cent: the Russian empire and Finland 49 per cent increase; Italy 29 per cent increase and Japan 340 per cent in crease. The total arrivals from -apa.il, however, amounted to only 9.791. White DeulfH Interview. BERLIN, Dec. 7.—The morning papers here print an interview with I'nited States Ambassador White re garding the relations between the United States and Germany in the China negotiations. Mr. White gave the Associated Press correspondent a formal repudiation of the interview, saying Germany and the i'nited States had been working harmoniously to gether and also that nothing more divides them since it has bepn found that the conditions formulated by the Pekin diplomats are subject to amend ment, to meet any decided changes in Chinese affairs. ( ongr«»Hftioiial Library. WASHINGTON. D. C., Dec. 7—The annual report of the librarian of con gress was submitted to that body to day.

Mititury Academy to Have Attention. WASHINGTON. Dec. 8—The mili tary academy appropriation bill will be taken up by the house committee on military affairs next Tuesday. At that time also it is expected that the resolu tion asking the secretary of war to investigate the alleged hazing of Cadet Booze at West Point will be favorably reported, as Chairman Hull says the secretary of war probably has insti tuted an inquiry on his own account and there is no objection to express ing the wish of the house that the in quiry shall be made.
