LONDON, Dee. 6.—Dr. Morrison, wiring to the Times from Pekin, December b, con- firms the reported acceptance of Mr. Con- er's amendments (o the jolnt note, and says “The names of the gullty are not speci- fled, the stipulation only providing that those princes and officials must be pun- tshed who are recognized as guilty by the Chinese government, with the addition of others to be hereafter designated by the ministers. The practical result of this compromise i that the form of punishment 18 left to the determination of the empress dowager, who 1s the arch culprit. The his- tory of the compromise is instructive. The proposal came originally from Japan. It was communicated to Germany and to Washington. Although all the amendments were proposed by Mr. Conger, all credit is given by China to the Russians, who con- Unue to handle the Chinese with consum- inate dexterity." “Influential Chinese state,”” says the Han Kow correspondent of the Times, “that the court s preparing to leave Sian Fu imme- diately, although its destivation is mnot known here The Berlin correspondent of the Times, ccmmenting on the attempts to represent the attitude of America as divergent from the other powers in China, says he learns that “the formal assent of the United States to the demands of the powers wae inti- mated by Ambassador White to the foreign offico today (Thursday).

LONDON, Dec. 8.—A dispatch to the Pall Mall Gazette from Pekin, dated Wednes- day, December b, says: The flibustering character of the Kalgan and similar ex- peditfons projected have given a very bad impression. There is danger of the Chi- nese regarding the allies as nothing more or less than western brigands. Explana- tory proclamations should be issued in re- gard to the expeditions, in order, as far as possible, to diminish their harmful effects. White Denies Any Lack of Concord.

Mr. White gave the Associated Press correspondent a formal repudiation of the interview, saying Ger- many and the United States had been work- ing harmoniously together and also that nothing more divides them since it has been found that the conditions formulated by the Pekin diplomats are subject to amendment to meet any decided changes in Chinese af- fairs. Mr. White Insisted that the United States are in full accord with Germany for the punishment of the guilty, 6o far as their punishment {8 possible. Funeral of Colonel Yorck, PEKIN, Wednesday, Dec. 5.—The funeral of Count von Yorck took place from the palace of the dowager empress. The coffin containing the remains of Colonel von Yorck was deposited in one of the temples inside the palace enclosure. PARLIAMENT STARTS SWIFT (Continued from First Page.) were united to the motherland, never to be separated. Baron Monk Bretton (liberal unionist) seconded the address in the same strain, Lord Kimberley, the liberal leader in the House of Lords, in the course of his re- marks animadverted strongly on the sud- den dissolution of Parliament. He ob- fected to the brevity and abruptness in the Queen’s speech and depanded definite pro- nouncement of the government's policy in view of the novel and dangerous charac- ter of the recrudescence of hostilities in South Africa and explanations of the al- loged cruelties to the Boers, the burning of tarms and simllar soveritles. He con- curred in the annexation of the republics but trusted the government possessed & definite policy for speedily concluding the war. His lordship was gratified at the Anglo-German agreement, but he sald an attempt to capture the emperor and em- press dowager of China would be an alarm- ing undertaking Salisbury Jocula, and Solemn. Lord Sallsbury, after paying a tribute to the skill of Lord Roberts and General Kitchener and to the bravery of the officers and soldlers, Jocularly approved of the fall clections, on the ground that the people objected to traveling to the polls in wintry weather, while in summer legislators were engaged In thelr summer duties. In regerd to South Afrlea the premler spoke With great solemnity. He said the Transvaalers, the Free Staters and the world should understand there would be no deviation from the policy of the gov- ernment already outlined. Anything re- sembling independence never could be granted. The war must proceed to the inevitable issue. We must let it be felt that no one, by the lssue of an insolent and audaclous ultimatum, could force the British government to humble fitself and abandon its rights. He could never allow that & sbred of independence should be lett. How soon the Free Staters and the Trans- vealers would have anything like self- governing powers deponded on themselves It might be years and it might be genera- tions. Ri rding China, Lord Salisbury sald he was unable to reveal anythin 1t would be betraying the secrets of other nations a well as those of the government. He wa bappy, however, to be able to quiet the fears of Lord Kimberley regarding the pur- sult of the emperor and empress. He had never heard of such a suggestion. The con- \ FRIDAY, cert existed and the last intelligence showad that it possessed a very reasonable vitality He was more doubtful of the time when a satisfactory result would be achieved than of the fact thet the concert of Europe would ba successful Mosebery Attacks Government. The feature of the session was Lord Rose- bery'a #pirited attack on the government. He was uneparing in his criticism of the disso- lution of Parliament, the conduct of the war, the policy of the government toward China and everything handled by the cab- inet. He caustically commented on the recon- struction of the cabinet, congratulating Lord Sallsbury on being the chiet of a family numbering so many able in administration, the reference being to the inclusion in the cabinet of several of Lord Sallsbury's rela- tives. Lord Rosebery's comment on the charges against Mr. Chamberlain, the secretary of state for the colonles, was sev He dep- recated gver-bellef in the credibility of all the charges but said it was evident the head of ths cabinet had failed in proper supervision and the pride of England fn the purity of its public men bad suffered. The duke of Devonshire replied to Lord Rosebery, and Lord Tweedmouth closed the debate for the liberals. The address was then agreed to and the House of Lords adjourned until Monday. Slight Operation Performed on Tumor Un, ath the Pon- 'y Arm, ROME, Dec. 6.—Tho Messagero today says Dr. Mazzonl, the physlelan, performed slight operation yesterday on a tumor underneath the pontifi's arm The message re-osserts that the health of the pope has not been altogether satisfac- tory for some time past and that he has occasionally suffered In the part where he was operated upon m 1898, which caused his physiclans to perferm a slight operation yester: It removed the pain.

Debate on French Amnesty DIl PARIS, Dec. 6.—In the Chamber of Dep- utles the debate on the government's am- nesty bill, amended by tho sencte, crowded the house this afternoon. M. Dru- mont, anti-semite, representing one of the Alglers divisions, demanded that ths meas- ure be applied generally, and notably to MM. Do Roulede, Guerin and Marcel- Habert. M. Lasles, anti-semite, representing a Gers division, sald the government's sole alm was to stop certain Inconvenient trials. He reprosched it for excluding political prisoners from the amnesty. M. Guleysse, radical republican, repre senting a division of Lorlent, eald the affatr which dominated all the others was the Dreyfus case. Amnesty would deprive Drey- fus of the means of proving his innocence, and it gullty he ought not to be pardoned. Continuing, M. Guleysse declared, amid nolsy interruptions, that amnesty would shelter a rascal like Esterhazy and leave un- der suspicion estimable officers such as Plc- quard. Denmark’s Protective Dutles. COPENHAGEN, Dec. 6.—The commission appointed in 1899 to examine the question of protective duties on forcign agricultural products has rendered majority and minor- ity reports. Tho majority, conslsting of seven members, favors a_ system of dutles on all agricultural, horticultural and forest products, with the exception of fodder, es- timating the revénue therefrom 9,000,000 crowns. The milibkty, made up of three members, propose, & combined system of fmport duties and export bounties, by which, for instance, the exporter of pork would teceive a bounty equivalent to the duty payable on the quantity of corn re- quired to produce the amount of pork ex- ported. The minority estimate that this would result in an jucrease fn the revenue of 8,000,000 crowns After American Art Works. PARIS, Dec. It has been learned that the French government has given John B.

He will take up his residence here. 1 take the occasion to propose that the Chamber be authorized to welcome in its name the president to our country and offer him an expression of our cordial sympathy.” The proposal was adopted amid cheers and bravos. Mr. Kruger arrived here today and wa greeted at the statlon by the burgomaster and counsellors, A choir of 600 men and girls chanted psalm verses 6, 7 and 11, The former president and his suite then re- paired to the royal walting room, where the burgomaster warmly welcomed tHem in a brief speech. Then followed Dr. Spink, the president of the local South African asso- clation, In a long welcoming address, as- suring Mr. Kruger of the deep sympathy of the entire Dutch nation, “who had,” he sald, ‘0 greatly, though vainly, hoped that the great powers who had recently assembled at the peace conference would not have per- mitted that in South Africa, the right of nations, the right of war and civil law would be trampled under fcot or a little nation be sacrificed in an unequal combat in defense of its existence.' The address, after a long eulogy of the Boers, proceeded to llken Mr. Kruger to Willlam the Silent, who sacrificed every- thing for the welfare of his people, and con- cluded: “May your rellance on the Al- mighty, similar to that of the prince of Orange, support you, Mr. President, In the arduous fight for right and liberty, and may the liberty of your pation crown your cour- age.

On his arrival in the reception room the baroness presented Mr. Kruger with a bouquet. ‘The first chamber has authorized its pres- Ident to welcome Mr. Kruger in behalf of the house, as proof of its sympatny. Mr. Kruger met with wonderful recep- tions everywhere. He reached the frontier at Zevenaar. all the stations, which were decorated with flags, the burgomasters made speeches and the school children sang. Mr. Kruger made many replies, in most of which he repre- sented the Transv a8 a little child whom a bad man wished to kill. In one case he lilustrated his point by drawing attention to a fair-halred girl in the audience. “It that child were outraged,” sald he, “‘everybody would run to her roscue, but in my country children and women are be- ing daily outraged by an enemy ten times stronger than the Transvaal.” The crowds remained long in front of the hotel, cheering and singing. Finally Mr. Kruges-appeared on the balcony, where he rematned for a fow minutes. He then retired and was not seen again. After din- ing privately with his grandson, Mr. Eloff, he went early to bed, being greatly fatigued. Beautiful floral offerings were displayed in the hall of the hotel. LONDON, Dee, ‘The Daily Mail pub- listes the following from its correspondent at The Hague: “When I asked Mr. Kruger whether he would remew his request to Emperor Willlam to offer arbitration, he replied: "Yes, but my faith remains in the King of Kings. South Africa will save teelt.” BERLIN, Dec. 6,.—~The German press con- tinues to disapprove strongly of Emperor Willlam's refusal to recelve Mr. Kruger. Even the pro-British Berliner Tageblatt re- grets the loss to Germany's prestige and calls the kalser's action a political mistake. The Deutsche Tages Zeitung sa; ““There 1s no other explanation for Germany doing England this favor than political prepay- ments made by England."” There have been pro-Boer demonstrations in Berlin since Monday, especially at sev- eral variety theaters. At the Apollo theater when an actor representing Mr. Kruge! peared the entire audience arese and shouted, “Hoch, Brave Boers!" and “Down with the English!” There was a similar demonstration at the Reichshallen.

The first resolution de mards the termination of the war with fts untcld misery, protests againat the de- vastation of the country and the burning of farms, which “will leave a lusting heri- tago of bitterness’” and declares that the independence of the republics wiil alone secure peace in South Africa The second urges the right of the colony to manage its own affairs and censures the pelicy of Sir Alfred Milner.
