General Pearson said: Washington, Nov. 27.—Like a thunderbolt from a clear sky came the tidings to Washington of the sudden agreement of the ministers in Peking upon it protocol embodying severe terms for China. At the vctf moment when the United States was seeking to secure a moderation of tho demands and when most of tho other governments had given encouragement the ministers suddenly adopted demands that practically d«» not differ from those suggested several weeks ago. The administration Is considering the two courses that are open to it. One is to assent to the demands formulated by the ministers in order to puaintain the concert of action. The othUr is to repudiate Mr. Conger's Action, withdraw from the concert »ad begin independent negotiations.It has all come about through the suit of a London dealer in antiques ana brica-brac who wants to collect a trifle of $385,000 for a few little odds~#nd ends in art supplied by him for the adornment of the De Castellane castle.

In expectation that the ministars would persist in their harsh course "the secretary rabled to American rep* resentatives abrond the text of the instructions sent to Mr. Conger and urged the powers not to put the civilized world in an untenable position by pressing demands which the Chinese government could not meet. The minister's sudden action has suddenly upset all the plana of the I'olted States. The administration has carefully considered the question of withdrawing from the concert and beginning independent negotiations. The dangers of such a course, however, are so apparent that it is deemed unwise to take it. Without' any, restraining influeoc«a»*ao»D« of powers would insist upon demands which China could under no possibility accept, and the danger of partition would bet ome even greater than it is today. The administration will not join in the demands, however, without a struggle to secure their moditication, especially in the matter of punishment and iiidemni ty. There is likely to be nn active in terehange of views lietween tile powers during the next.few days. Although Mr. Conger has acted contrary to the wishes of the administration! it is stated ou high authority that there Is no mound for the report that he will be recalled. At the same time iris likely that Secretary Ila.v will think best to show his displeasure in an official communication to the minister. Dubois, Pa., Nov. 27.—This section of the country has experienced one of the worst floods that has occurred inf many years. All of the manufacturing plants situated on low ground were compelled to close down yesterdsy morning, and many residences in the lower parts of town have four to six feel of water In the ground floors. The Beaver meadows are covered to a depth of three and four feet for miles around. At Narrow's creek, three miles east of here on the low grade division of the Pennsylvsnia. y bridge was washed out about noon, tying freight traffic and necessitating transfer of all passengers. At*8abula there is danger should tho water rise but little more of an Immense 4am breaking which would cause vast damage to property and possible loss of life. At Winterburn it was necessary to release some of the water in jg.4arge 4am hy breaking a, Iroteln it with dynamite. The breaking; or the dam would have, caused dire disaster to the homes of many citizens who l[ve on the lowlands.
