Rut the officials have felt confident that when the crisis came the Chinese government would be only too willing to compromise on the basis of the suggestion sent to OenernI Chaffee by Secretary Root that a sufficient number of the allies be permitted to enter Peking and take the foreigners therefrom. This scheme successfully accomplished would probably mean an end to the existing hostilties, and China and the powers would then be able to arrange their differences by diplomatic negotiations. This feeling has changed in some degree, however, on account of Mr. Conger's message.ARMSTRONG'S ** PRICE LIST. Evans Bros.
