THE ENVOYS AGREED TERMS OF PRELIMINARX TREATY IN PEKIN HAVE BEEN SETTLED AT LAST. the french note is the basis Definite Negotiations Will Be Begun Now As Soon As the Respoctive Governments Can Be Heard From—Progress of Affairs In tho Celestial Empire. Pekin, Nov. 26.—Tho diplomatic body held a final meeting Saturday and agreed upon the terms of the preliminary treaty. Nothing now remains except to secure the approval of the respective governments before definite negotiations with the Chinese peace are begun. I'lie precise terms of the settlement have not yet been made public here, but It Is believed, outside the diplo matic corps, that the main points are In a substantial agreement with those contained in the French note to the powers, namely punishment for the guilty, Indemnity to governments and individuals, retention of strong legation guards and the occupation of certain places between Pekin and Taku. A party of American cavalry wont Saturday to disperse a band of bandits in a village ]i; miles from Pekin. The village was found strongly fortified, but the Americans attacked and captured it. killing seven Chinese. A secret edict from Sian Fu to the provincial viceroys and governors orders them to cease the manufacture of modern arms and to revert to the old type of weapons, because modern arms "nave proved utterly useless against the foreigners.” CONGEIt MAY RETURN Reported 1 hat the Minister Is Out of Harmony With Administration. Washington, Nov. 27. —Minister Conger probably will return to the Unltrd States. His relations with the Americans have not been harmonious since the relief of Pekin. Mr. Conger advocates measures which the president regards as too radical, and has not taken kindly to the fact that his views have not been indorsed at Washington. Recent developments in the Chinese situation, the diplomats believe, show that Japan's decision will determine whether the vengeance policy of Germany- shall be adopted or rejected. Japan’s vote in favor of a policy of moderation will, in the opinion of offi cials. go far toward solving the present problem. Tim United States, Russia and 1- rance are opposed to asking more than the Chinese government can reasonably grant. Japan’s course in China convinces officials at Washington that she understands the folly of asking tlie imperial government to make concessions which would at once show its weakness and renew the conflict. Tiierefore. it is believed that the Toklo government will support a policy of moderation. There is some reason to believe that the indemnity proposition lias taken such an excessive form as to make it impossible for the Chinese government to meet the demand, and this fact, taken in connection with the unreasonable demands of some of the powers respecting punishments, may oblige our government to endeavor to have the demands moderated. A NEW NOTE Secretary Hay Has a Fresh Propo. sitiou to the Powers. Washington. Nov. 24.—The secretary of state has addressed an identical note to the |iowers interested in the Chinese situation, setting out tersely and afresh the object of the United States government as to China, and pointing out how such objects as nre common to the powers can best be secured. The note marks the initiation of fresh negotiations on our part on the arrangement of a new basis to tide over the impossible situation created at the last meeting of the ministers In Pekin. Some responses are at hand, and it Is stated that generally our advice has been well received, and the state department expresses satisfaction with the progress so far achieved. It Is believed the note is an appeal from the extreme course suggested by some of the powers as to the treatment of China, especially In the matter of punishments and indemnities to which the ministers nt Pekin seem Inclined. The Intont is to push the negotiations on a more rational nnd businesslike basis. Gibson Not Allowed to Hid. Jackson. Miss., Nov 27.—J. E. Gib son the Logansport (Ind.) contractor who was arrested here Saturday on the charge of attempting to bribe Gov.

Rheumatism. Nobody knows all about it; and nothing, now known, will always cure it. Doctors try Scott’s Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil, when they tmnk it is caused by imperfect digestion of food. You can do the same. Il may or may not be caused b\ the failure of stomach and bowels to do their work. If it is, you will cure it; if not, you will do no harm. The way, to cure a disease is to stop its cause, and help the body get back to its habit of health. W hen Scott's Emulsion of Cod Liver Oil does that, it cure.--; when it don’t, it don't cun?.
