Nov. lS.-The conclusion seerr. to have been reached In Pekln to conclude peace with China wlth-nit un dertaking at present th complete re vision of the trestle of commerce, says a dispatch from Washington to the Journal of Commerce. A rreral article will be inserted In the treaty of pence subscribed by the powers providing that China shall con sent to the revision of the trat!s of commerce hut shall 6VaJ with each power separately. Whether the result of these negotiations will be so satisfac- tiry as a general treaty guaranteeing ' to the citizens and subjects of all the power compile freedom f traffic In the Interior cf Chlm remains to be seen. It a mars to be thought at the state department and among -me of th ministers at Pekln that difficulties snd lelay would arise In seeking to deal with desired chances In detail at present. It may be possible for the leading' powers to secure concessions regarding Interior trade which will flrtve tfc entering wrc!jt fc-r like c"o tsions to all. Most of th powers are entitled to the privileges of " the mort favored nation" and will b abl to ask for themselves whatever !s granted to any of the ether powers. The fact that the Chines? Imperial government con sents to the revision of the treaties as a jrnTal proposition is considered at Washington an Important point for se curing what the civllited powers d rlre. The- process of obtaining further coti essior3 may b slow but U hop- that pressure upon the Chines? govern mcnt will secure them as fast as thy can be availed of. Many of the conces sions heretofore granted by China to capita'.iEU and syndicates have been lit tle more than waste paper because the syndicates have not proceeded to carry out their plans. Wh?n a syndicate or group of capitalists Is able to demon strate readiness tc proceed with actual Improvements in China It is believed at the state department that little difficul ty will be experienced in fretting the consent of the Chinese government. NOTE ALMOST READY. PEKIN. Nov. 13. The note of the powers to the Chinese plenipotentiaries will probably be ready to submit within the next ten days. This announcement was made at the conclusion of a meet ing of ministers. It is understood that all points under discussion have been practically agreed upon except minor phases of several of the most important questions. Con cerning these points the ministers have cabled for Instructions, which they ex pect to receive before November 20, the date of the next meeting. I FRIENDLT CHINESE ALIENATED. YOKOHAMA. Nov. 4-The expedi tion to Pao Ting Fu and the presence of a large German force In Shang Tung province are having the effect of turning Governor Yuan Shi Kl from friendliness for foreigners. He has addressed a note to Li Hurg Chang telling his dis trust of Germany in Shan Tung. The allied forces have razed several !3oxer villages. The Germans took one at Yang Tsung and shot all the Boxers captured after a drum head court mar tial. - ! ' RUSSIAN CONQUESTS. (Correspondence of Associated Press.) TIEN TSIN. Oct. 15. The meagre ac counts which reach here of Russian op erations to the north indicate that they have the situation fairly well In hand. The reports are lacking In de tail and coming from Russian sources are considered incomplete. Little Is known of the campaign along the Amur river. The Russians as sert that they have generally been suc cessful but news percolating in from traders and other indirect sources does not bear this out. It is rumored that several small commands and garrisons hava suffered greatly. New Chwang was taken September 24. though there are few details of the affair. Around Hal Cheng they have been strengthen ing their positions, making occasional demonstrations to the north and west as it was rumored that a heavy force Was descending on Moukden. In the latter part of September the Russians occupied An Shan and Liao Gang and on October 2 entered Mouk den, the principal city of Manchuria. The be information shows that no resistance wag offered at Moukden, w here it was anticipated a strong stand wiuld be made. In the vicinity of the city many lawless bands of native rub bers are said to be operating and the country generally Is restless and dan gerous. Above New Chwang on th upper river, pirates are still a mrve cf an noyance and have recently mado attack on river craft. Their depredation have practically topr"d commerce and the Kusslnnt are deriving but little revenue from the custom. CONDITIONS AT TEKIN. TIEN TSIN. Oct. 14.-In the opinion of military men .here Is llttl- ikol:livsJ that recently renwod operations will be prolonged after the cold weather has fairly t In. Tow of the force now here are adequately equipped for a win ter campaign and this region ctiuiot be relied upon for any sui Plie. Little grain was harvested, as the harvest season occurred after the trouble bo- Fan and the laborer were driven out. Recent foraging parties extending to a considerable distance have found few herds and the allies are forced to rely entirely upon their own commissaries. The military situation la naturally de pendent upon the progress of diplomatic negotiation, but at the same time it Is not believed that a failure of the com mencement of those will result In much further activity cf the troop. It Is known that Count Von Waldersee. the commander of the allies. Is consider ing the advisability of removing his winter headquarters to Shanghai, and this is taken to Indicate- that the a!lle will not endeavor to prolong operations in the north. Prior to his departure from Pekln It is unofficially Intimated that his rlans contemplated Shanghai as the most available point for winter and in the evert of hi removal there It is considered as probable that the commanders of at least a part of the other forces will go als There are repeated reports from unofficial source, however, of a trong inclination on the part of certain legations to leave Prkin unless a satisfactory commencement of negotiations looking toward settlement is effected before the river fre-xe. The fears of a coal stringency in Pe- kin have been somewhat rel eved by the organization of a caravan to the coal districts. This supply, however. Is small and even with the exertion of all possible effort to secure fuel it Is be lieved In military circle that the win ter will be severe on the troops both here and in Prkln. An early wint-r is generally predicted. The temperature fell saddenly to S4 degrees last night, which Is unusually low for this season. The British have abandoned their camp on the plains to the southwest and with the return of the Pao Ting Fu expedition will put thfr men In build ings for the winter. The bulk of the German force Is being ratidiy sent to Pekin. but those still here are in tents and the scarcity of lumber will probab'y prevent the erection of winter barracks. The lr.adeo.uacy of the railway facil ties is a source of much embarrassment. As Indicated In the dispatch of the Associated Prs there Is a likrl.bood that the road from Tang Taun to Pekin will be In operation this winter. consequently the allies are depending on the river for transportation. The Americans, fearing that the rapid fall In the Pel Ho will Imped? navigation, ar nslng wagon trains to rush supplies to Pekin. They are the only force equip ped with wagons and animals. General Humphrey, the chief quartermaster. Is sending four-mule teams as fast as pos sible aiid the bulk of the supplies for the foreign garrison at Pekln is al ready under way or safely stored In the capital. Little progress has been made by the allied forces who with the exception of the Rustlans will maintain a large gar rison at Pekin. As a result, the opinion Ls gaining ground that a portion of the present estimate of troops may be forced to withdraw. It is probable that the Pekin railway will be restored to Its owners soon and operated. The Russians are said to have oTered to turn the road over to the Gern.ans. but the offer was decllr.ed as such action would Involve political com plications. FIRE IN STOCK YARDS. Two Lives Lost and t'AOOO Worth of Property Detroyed. CHICAGO, Nov. 13. Screaming with agony and framed with Haines that belched forth from a second story win dow, Thomas Konetka fought for his life last night on a narrow ledge of Lib by, McNeil & Llbby's tank and lard rendering building. In full view of hun dreds of spectators who were powerless to aid him. Too frightened to notice that the ground wis but fifteen feet beneath and deaf to the cries direct inar him to Jump, he struggled against the sheets of fire that curled around him. singed his face, arms and body. Finally, with clothes ablaze and as the firemen were putting up a ladder, he haped to the pavement. Besides being seriously burned he was Inter nally injured from the fall. His expected death will make two fa talities due to the fire in Packing Town While hurrying to the scene James Rreeland was run over and killed by a fnlcht train of the Pennsylvania road. The fire, which was located In the very heart of the stock yards and en dangered millions of dollars' worth of property, wag by hard work confined to the rendering building.

Church People Endeavor to Remedy Existing Social Conditions. NEW YORK. Nov. 13.-The first of number of meetings planned by church people with a view of purifying Hie s'x;ial condition of Patenton. N. J., has been held In the First Baptist church under the auspices of the Chris tian Endeavor Union. Mrs. Ella M. Dealing, matron of the Florence Crlt tendon home, made the principal ad dress. Mrs. William Hall, a prominent member of the W, C. T. U.. also spoke. Both took for their theme the "Ap palling Conditions Disclosed by the Development In the Bosschieter Case." Mrs. Dealing said she believed In a Christian rather than a reform move ment. She believed that all churches should unite to crush out existing con ditions and that, united, everything could be done, but very little could be accomplished If each church or lach denomination worked alone. Mrs. Hall referred directly to the fiofi.chIeter murder and said the vul tures of India that preyed upon the weak were no worse than the. men who lured innocent girls from the path of righteousness. The purest were not too good for these human birds of prey, In the name of the mothers of Pater- son Bhe asked all to unite for the pro tection of the children. CONFESSION RETRACTED.
