It seems to be the opinion of some
envoys that the acceptance of the
terms of the note by the Chinese Is
not explicit enough The Chinese de
sire for consultation regarding the
razing of forts and the legation guards
Is open to misinterpretation and lia
ble to lead to long arguments which
might in the opinion of some minis
ters mean the sparring for time on the
part of the Chinese Consequently
the Chinese plenipotentiaries will be
notified that they inuU sign the note
bofore the meeting between them and
the foreign envoys can bo held

Tang Him where the latter had taxed
the villagers 4000 taels 2700 and
100 pony loads of furs as punishment
for the alleged murder of Imaginary

tiges of Chinese authority is appar
ent but why the American forces
should be ordered to assist in the work
is not clear
London Jan 4 The Dally Mail pub
lishes u severe arraignment from Mr
Wlllard a correspondent In Peking of
the European and American mission
aries in China Mr Wlllard accuses
them of urging the military to send
expeditions to different portions of
the country ostensibly to protect na
tive converts but really to give an op
portunity for wholesale looting He
declares that the missionaries have
had their share in loot and gives the
testimony of an American olllcer In
support of his contention the whole
showing that in many cases the Amer
icans declined to sanction the urglngs
of the missionaries
