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 must sign the note
bofore the meeting between them and
the foreign envoys can bo held

the country ostensibly to protect na
tive converts but really to give an op

icans declined to sanction the urgings
of the missionaries
