CHINA MAKES MOVE
PEACE NEGOTIATIONS SOON
TO START.
ARE PAVING THE WAY FOR ACTION
I'anMhmrnt of llmin llrM to br Din-
comcU Citlilt'criini I'rom MlnUter
Conner, Hut It Content Not
Mud. I'lil. Hi! (Khcr Nrni,
A Washington dispatch says. Tor the
Hrst time in three days Minister Con
ger was heard from ut the state de
partment October 1. He eoniinunl
rated ly cable the substance of certain
propositions advanced by I'rince Ching
nnd Li Hung Chung as a basis for the
conduct of negotiations for a settle
ment of the Chinese trouble. The
Chinese government already has pre
pared the way for these by" t prelimi
nary action looking toward the pun
ishment r Chinese officially utility of!
complicity in the boxer uprising and,
while the text of Mr. Congei's coin-1
mtinioiitlon Is not made public, It in!
believed that the latest Chinese advice
is addicssed to some of the proposi
tions contained in the Trench note, be
ing in the nature of counter proposals
and proceeding upon the theory that
what has been done In the matter of
punishments is Millleient to meet the
demands from the power in that re
spect. Minister Wit called at the state de
partment by appointment and had a
long conference with Secretary Hay.
The Secretary previously had spent an
hour with the president at the white
house, presumably in the consideration
of Mr. Conger's communication, and it
is believed that Mr. Wit was called to
the department to throw llglit upon
Mime of the detailed proposition.
There is reason to believe that the
government will take favorable notion
upon the latest proposition of the
French government presented yester
day through the French charge d'af
faires, M. Thlebault. This contem
plates the opening of negotiations on
those points which the powers are
agreed upon, leaving to the ministers
at I'elcin tlin details of working out a
further agreement on those points
which the powers made reservation .
upon.
The basis of the negotiations would
be, the French note delivered on Octo
ber 4, together with the replies of
the other governments. This would
make practically two negotiations go
ing on at the same time, one concern
ing the points of agreement, which
would have to be adlusted with China,
uud the other by the ministers at
I'ekiu, with a view to securing . an
agree ment previous to submitting It to'
China. There is felt to be no inconsis
tency in having this double work pro
ceed concurrently and it has the ad
vantage of getting the peace, negotla
tions under way.
GAIN OF HUNDRED PER CENT
Murkril IiirrciiHH In tlm I'opulutlnii of
Arliiiut.
The census bureau bns made public
the returns of population for the ter
ritory of Arizona. The population of
the territory In WOO is 122,212, as com
pared with the population of 1800 of
50, 020. This shows an Increase during
the decade of 02,5.!..' or 101. 'J per cent.
The large increase is due in part to the
fact that there were 28, 4(i,J Indians and
154 other persons, or u total of 28,023
persons on Indian reservations in Ari
zona, who worc specially enumerated
In Ib'JO under the provisions of the cen
