Nearly All Envoys at Pokin
ccived Instructions.
THE WORK MAY BEGIN TUESDAY
Diplomats Will Immediately Commence
Conference With China's Plenipotenti
aries and Emperor Will Return to 1'e-
kin to Execute the Trcjitics.
PEKIN , Dec. 10. All the foreign
envoys except Sir Ernest Mason Sa-
tow , the British minister , have re
ceived 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 Li 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 consonant
nant with his dignity and safety.
The removal of General Tung
Hslang 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 tQ 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 situa
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
be 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.
The complete agreement deciphered
from the code is now in the hands
of the 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.
The essential features of the agree
ment already have been outlined in
the press dispatches.

THE SENATE AND HOUSE.
\Vhat They Propose Doing Jn the Near
Coming Unys.
WASHINGTON , Dec. 10. The sen
atewill , continue to give Its attention
to the Hay-Pauncefote treaty and the
ship subsidy bill during the present
week , taking up first one and then th s
other as may suit the convenience of
those who may wish to speak on the
two meausrcs. Duricg 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 ordar will have the effect of
displacing the canal bill , precedence
being given under the senate rulea
to a regular order ov ° r a special
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-Bulwer treaty is dis
posed of. On 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 caid
said that we v/ovild be content to al
low his bill to follow close in the
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 this week. Among those
who probably will speak on the sub
ject are Senators Clay , Vest and Ber
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 , but
a majority of the senators express
the opinion that the vo e upon the
treaty will follow very rioon after
the vote ujvn 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 bill and the bill for the re
duction of the war revenue taxes.
Wednesday will be a dies non , so fat-
as legislation is concerned , as on that
day the exercises in connection with
the centennial celebration of the removal
*
moval of the 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 weesk 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 reduction of the tax on beer
from $1.50 a barrel , as fixed by the
committee , to $1.35 a barrel.
CAPTIRED WITHOUT CONTEST.
Soldiers Meet With Little Resistance
From Inmrjjeiits.
MANILA , Dec. 10. While the rap
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
United States volunteer infantry from
the Island of Catandunes , off the
southeast coast of Luzon relinquished
an attempt to land near Panuan. On
anchoring , the American were fired
upon by 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. Ellis of the
Thirty-third volunteer infantry , cap
tured in the mountains near Barbara
a large .quantity of Krag , Mauser and
Remington ammunition , together wi'/i /
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 Bill Goes Through.
WASHINGTON , Dec. S. The house
today passed the Grout oleomargarine
bill by a vote of 196 to 92. 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 imd increas
ed the penalties for violation , AV.OS
defeated by a vote of 113 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.

Cantonese Kebrraer , Former Adviser to
Su , Wants Emperor Kestored.
VICEROYS ARE NOT TO-BE TRUSTED
.Foreigners Hold That Empress Should
Not lie Allowed to Interfere and That
Reactionary Officials Should Be Tory
Closely Watched.
PEKIN , Dec. 8. Mr. Conger , 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
toforeigners. Kang Yu Wei says that
great calamities have befallen China
through the empress dowager and also
in consequence of her advisers , Prince
Tuan , Prince Ching , Yung Lu , Yang
YiChao Shu , Cliian , Muang Ru , Moyn
Kuen aoid Hiang. He says he is thank
ful that the foreigners held out in the
legation buildings in Pekin and that
all the Chinese who understand the
luw 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 :
First That the empress and her ad
visers sfibuld not be allowed to violate
late the jeace.
Second That the emperor , who is
a friend of foreigners , should be re
stored.
Third That all 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 ,
Kang Yu Wei contends that they will
continue to say that the foreigners'
are powerless.
"The foreigners should not rely upon
the viceroys. " continues the Cantonee
reformer. "They send men , money and
armament to the empress and are her
'sary.
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. "

sentative Taylor of Ohio , who was
prominently identified with the move
ment to exclude Brigham Roberts of
Utah from a seat in congress , today
introduced a measure intended to

PROSPERITY IN OKLAHOMA.
Governor's Report Argues Cond itlonl
Warrant Adml lon.
WASHINGTON. Dec. 7. The annu
al report of the governor of Oklahoma
says that the year has been marked
by general prosperity agricultural
grazing , manufacturing and commerce
nourishing in an unprecedented
manner. The total assessed valuation
of property is $19,338,661 , an increase
of ? G,247 over 1899. The report states
that in addition to its excellent pub
lic school system , Oklahmoa has five
higher institutions of learning ,
which are not excelled by the similar
institutions of any state in the union.
There are still 5,733,385 acres of va
cant government land In the territory ,
subject to homestead entry. While
most of the land is unfit for farming
there are still many sections upon
which the homeseeker from the north
or east can find a comfortable home
and atttain a competence in time.
As each justice of the supreme court
of the territory sits as a trial judge
with original jurisdiction of all oases
of civil and criminal litigation arising
in the district to which he is assigned
the report recommends that a separate
court of appeals be provided. In
order to avert sentencing of youthful
criminals to the penitentiary , the es
tablishment of a reformatory institu
tion within the territory is recom
mended. The icport says that the
prosperous condition prevailing in
OKlahoma , its population , area and
wealth , when compared with a like
condition prevailing in a , large num
ber of states at the time of their ad
mission in the union , amply justifies
its claim to statehood. The report
recommends that Fort Supply , which
was abandoned several years ago , > e
presented to the territory for iiae as
a public institution.

War Department Furnishes Estimate for
Proposed Canal.
WASHINGTON , Dec. 7. The War

ports on the number of important
river and harbor projects , including
that for connecting the Mississippi

extensive improvement of the Sault
Ste. Marie canal. The total cost of
the project for connecting Lake Mich
igan and the Mississippi river is
placed at $7,731,517 for a five-foot
depth. The project involves tne con
struction of twelve locks and two
dams with movable weirs. The esti
mates are based on the assumption
that all necessary franchises in con
nection with the construction will be
ceded free of cost to the United States.
The estimate for improving the
channel between Lakes Superior and
Huron , through St. Mary's river , in
cluding Hay channel , is 59,0 ,000.

of which is improved.
The estimate for deepening the
Sturgeon Bay and Lake Michigan ship
canal to twenty-one feet is § 218,000.

Mr. Isaac Brock , the Oldest Man in the
United States. i <
Mr. Isaac Brock , of McLennan coun
ty , Tex. , has attained the great age
of 111 years , having been born in
1788. He is an ardent friend to Pe-
runa and speaks of it in the following
terms :
"During my long life I have known
a great many remedies for coughs ,
colds , catarrh and diarrhoea. I had
always supposed these affections to
be different diseases , but I have
learned from Dr. Hartman's books
that these affections are the same and
are properly called catarrh.
"As for Dr. Harlman's remedy , Pe-
runa , I have found it to be the best ,
if not the only reliable remedy for
these affections.
"Peruna has been my stand-by
for many years , and I attribute my
good health and my extreme age
to this remedy. It exactly meets
all my requirements.
"I have come to rely upon it almost
entirely for the many little things for
which I need medicine. I believe it to
be especially valuable to old people. "
