Nuw Yontc, Nov. 20. There is a grow-
ing feeling of impatience in London over
the delay in efTecting a settlement of the
Chinese question?,, says a Tribune cable-
.... . i . e ,.1 ..
gram, xne ingtisn press iruiiKi uuii-
fesses that it is hearing about punitive
expeditions to one quarter or another,
and that it considers it hardly worth
while to keep all Chinu in a state of tur
moil, preventing thereby restoration of
normal trade relations in or.der to punish
a few criminals who cannot be caught
while tho court remains in exile.
English opinion will not be fully ex
pressed until the cues are provided by
the foreign oHice, but it is fairly safe to
... . - . i. A !
assume mat it supports uio American
contention that the most urgent require
ment of the eituation is the establish
ment at Pekin of a government with the
essential elements of stability and au
thority. Since there can be no substi
tute for the empress' rule, the return to
the capital seems a foregone conclusion.
The punishment of the princes, espec
ially Tunn, is the chief oostacle to n
settlement. Tho latest dispatches indi
cate that the European powers are
gradually coming to n decision on the
preliminaries of peace on which generul
negotiations may bo opened. The trend
of eveuts indicate that the European
powers mo slow'y approaching the
American position on the whole matter.

Clilcaeu'H Jlemnrltuble Storm.
Chicago, Nov. 20. Glaring Hashes of
light and loud peals of thunder, sights
and sounds generally peculiar U- mid
summer in Chicago, accompanied the
storm that burst upon tho city shortly
before midnight last niaht. I.ain fell in
deluging quantities, and the elements
displayed all the characterittics of a sum
mer thunderstorm. Telephone and tele
graph wires were affected by the elec
tricity in the atmosphere. The streets
of the city ran like rivers. There was
enough wind on the lake to endanger the
safety of a light craft.
The storm probably is the forerunner
of a cold wave that has forced the mercu
ry down to 12 degrees below zero in Mon
tana, and which is scheduled to arrive
in Chicago today.
