MISTAKE EXPLAINED AT LAST. Change or Omins of Responsible for Delay Note to China, WASHINGTON, De learned that the entire which has delayed the consummation of the agreement at Pekin was caused by the change or omission of the single digit in a complex group of figures making up one of the cipher messages of instruction to Mr. Conger. Curiously enough the change in this single digit exactly reversed tho mean- ing of the entire message, so that Mr. Con- ger, in opposing the English view, was act- ing exactly contrary to the spirit of his instructions, though it was their letter. The United States government, far from seeking to induce the British government and the others interested to accept the term “irrevocable” as defining the purposes of the powers In dealing with China, actually intended to take exactly the opposite vie of the matter. Through the aforesaid er- ror, however, the British government, which also objected to the use of the word “irre vocable,” was led to believe that the United States government desired the word to be retained accept the word this is exactly our government not want. The changes which are proceeding rapidly with a purpose on the part of our govern- ment to get rid of the “irrevocable” term, or idea, but it beging to appear that this is going to be dicult of accomplishment, for even Great Britain, though accepting the word against its original judgment, p- pears now disposed to allow it to remain ALL ACCEPT JOINT NOTE gn Ministers at Pekin Agree to Modifications Suggested by reat Britain, PEKIN, Dec. 19.—At a meeting of the forelgn ministers late this evening every- thing in regard to the terms of the joint note was agreed to, including the British wodifications.

CHICAGO, Dec. 19.—The United States navy, by agreement with the juvenile court here, is to become a reform school for un ruly Chicago boys. The John Worthy school, accordingly, will lose scores of the older lads sent there for correction. Boys out on probation and under the supervision of officers will be picked up and future candidates of the institution will be sent | direct to the government’s training ships. This will greatly lengthen the period for discipline and increase the chances of thoroughly reforming wayward youths. As it is, good behavior secures the release of many from John Worthy schgol after two or three months. Some of them find their way back again und others remain at larke or with their parents. The navy plan will hold them in check for a term of from three to five years and under the best of restraint and under influcnces likely to produce the best results The matter was discussed in Judge Tut- hill's court today. A representative of the navy recruiting office conferred with the judge and sald that the navy would be The question arose thereupon as authority of the court and the le the proposed change that to the ity of Investigution showed the statutes clearly grant the court the power. It demonstrated that whea boy is brought before the juvenile court and once adjudged dependent or delinquent be is from that time until he becon years of age ward of the court ents no louger have authority over him, so he is in the custody of the state, Atrangements were made whereby the can be put into operation at once. Superintendent Sloane of the John Worthy scheol was notified and tomorrow the re- cruiting officer will visit the institution | and select a number of the most desirable boys. An eximination will then be held to decido which of the lads meets the ro- quirements of the United States govern- ment. Those passing will thereupon be- come apprentices to the navy.

The increase in speed and capacity brought about a reduction in the cost of transportation and operation Regarding tariff conditions. Mr. Con- verse sald that owing to the government ownership system existing in most forelgn countries no dificulty was ever encountered in that respect Asked as to the condition of the industry, Mr. said it is at present more prosperous than at any time from 1893 to 1897 Mr. Kennedy asked the witness if any at- tempt had been made to combine all the Amerfcan locomotive works.
