mill l il i Peking Dec Chinese pleni potentiaries have been unexpectedly ordered to sign the preliminary Joint note iiihI lmvo untitled thu foreign en voys to Unit effect Thu Chinese themselves wore great ly astonished at receiving the Imperial Instructions Neither LI Hung Chang nor lrlnee Chlng hail expected success In persitudlig thu court under ten days The emperors Instructions arc to ugree fully to thu note but to en deavor to got the best terms possible particularly In the matter of limiting thu number of the legation guards and nlso ay to the places where theo arc to bo located The plenipotentiaries nip Instructed to endeavor to limit the number of army po ts along the Hue of railway to as few as possible and ilnnlly to require thu powers not to destroy the forts but to merely disarm them 11 Hung Changs health is had and It Is doubtful whether he will be able to do more than nllix his signature tc nn instrument delegating his power to Prince Chlng until another pleni potentiary lias been appointed lie was dressed tills morning anil carried In a chair to the residence of Prince Chlng wltli whom he held a long con Biiltatton Prince Chlng then called upon the doyen of the diplomatic corps the Spanish minister Sonor de Colo gun and requested him to notify the other envoys that instructions hud been received from the emperor to sign the note London Dee 31 Wiring to the Times from Peking yesterday Dr Morrison says The Chinese have ac cepted nil thu conditions of the joint note They are sending formal ac ceptance by a foreign envoy and ask that negotiations shall commence forthwith and that military operations cease Five expeditions are now op crating Every report tells of increas ing unrest The policy of depriving the Chinese of all power to exercise nuthority Is spreading disorder broad cast and forcing peaceful Chinese Into opposition Dr Morrison sends a long protest ngainst Gorman harshness which he pays is creating instead of checking disorder ITe accuses the Germans of harrying the country and punishing the innocent and the guilty indiscrim inately In order to lew fines for de fraying their own military expense and to form an excuse for continued occupation WuKliltiKton Olttttlnl Tloinpil Washington Dec HI The report that the Chinese plenipotentiaries had been directed to sign the joint note is u source of satisfaction to oltlclals here as indicating a disposition ou t he part of the Chinese goveriunelit to heed the desire of the powers that ne gotiations shall be entered upon at once and thu present unsatisfactory condition of atTairs terminated The emperor It was expected would In Btruct his agents to obtain the bust terms possible One of the principal objections said to have been made by the Chinese to the location of any great number of legations guards in Peking is that these guards would be a menace to the existing Chinese gov ernment As has already been stated in these dispatches the United States government does not desire the abso lute demolition of the Tnku forts but elniply their dismantlement so that ready access to the Chinese capital of a foreign force would not ho prevent ed The demand of the powers In thu joint note however was for the de struction of the forts Court to Itclinn Shanghai Dec a 1 There are per sistent reports In circulation here that the Imperial court Is preparing to re turn to
