THR M0KX1XU ASTOKIAX, SIMMY, mtKDAKV 24, 1WI, POWERS SEIZED PRIVATE PROPERTY Sir Robert Hart Protests Against Confiscation of His House. CONGER RETURNING HOME Rockhitl Will Take Charge of Aatricaa Em. hasty Vl ilors May Now Visit Forblddea City at Certain Hoars. PEKIX, Feb. 23. Sir Robert Hart, chief of the Chinese imperial customs, has sent the ministers of the powers a atrongly worded letter to protest against the eelsure of his proprty to increase the sise of the legation area, which lias been taken by Austria. Ger many, France and Italy. The latter power has taken tho ground on which Kir Robert's house was situated. He nays it can only be Chines government property In an Indefinite sense, in that during the past twenty years part of his Balary as a Pokin official has been given to him tn houses, instead of the government paying In cash. Sir Rob ert also put money Into the purchase of land, in building houses and la keep ing them in repair. He considered that, having lived there for twenty years, he owned the properly abso lutely. It Is generally understood In the ser vice that whoever has lived that long In a house owned It, having purchased It in rental aliow&rcee. He says Italy especially had suitable grounds, and that she had no reason to share In the general gratis distribution of lands for the various legations. Sir Robert also points to h's many years in the service of the foreign powers, and to his having made the customs pay the principal and interest of loans, a thor oughly international sen-ice, and that he has even paid the Interest on the loans Klnce the trouble began, and he thinks he ought to have received more consideration. General Yamagatehl, the Japanese commander, and Gen. Chaffee have is sued orders permitting visitors, prop erly accredited, to v'sit the Forbidden City on certain days, during certain hours, and that foreign generals and tlietr personal friends can visit at any time. The foreign ministers consider themselves slighted. The principal topic the court edict regarding the punishment discussed at yesterday's meeting of the ministers and today's meeting, was short, owing to the ministers awaiting the full test of the Chinese court's edicts aa abso lutely satisfactory require official con ilrmation. CONGER COMING HOME. WASHINGTON. Feb. 23. Minister Conger returns of his own initiative from Fekin. For some time past he has been anxious to get back to Iowa but an opportunity has not offered it self until this moment. Now that the foreign ministers have satisfactorily settled the question of punishment of the offending Chinese officials and a new subject is to be taken up, it will be easy to pass the negotiations into W. W, RocKhUl's hands without sacri ficing any points. : CONGER WANTS TO LEAVE. DKS MOINES, la.. Feb. 23. Another cable message has been received from Minister Conger, in which he explains that his wife and daughter and niece, Misj Tierce, are in such a nervous con dition that he fears to have them re main longjr in Pekin. He would be Klad, he says, if he could come home nrd be governor of Iowa, but he could not well leave China unless for some cood reason. President McKinley.

When this has been accomplished the dis- rhr: irraduallv ceases, and the sore ot ulcer beals.
