Washington, Dec. 6.—American diplomacy has averted prolonged strife over China and, barring accident, has insured the integrity of the empire, through the adoption by the ministers at Peking bt ♦he amended demands as to punishment and Indemnity, which It is known the Chinese government will accept. tJpon receipt of news of this satisfactory cori elusion of the negotiations Secretary Hay cabled Minister Conger instructions to sign the agreement. In the opinion of officials and diplomats here this result marks the most ijnpor tant step yet taken toward a peaceful so , lution. Information wUch reached here1 conveyed the idea that ft the powers had approved the original demands of the ministers contemplating the execution of 11 officials and princes and the exaction of an exorbitant indemnity Li dung Chang and Prince Chlng would immediately have rejected them* In view of the moderation in the amended demands it is known that they will be; accepted by not only the Chinese envoys but also the throne. The terms as finally formulated still in elude several features not entirely welcome to the American government, as, for instance, the demands for the razing of the Taku forts, the interdiction of importation of arms and establishment of permanent guards between Peking and the sea. Yet the questions of punishment and indemnity arc the really vital ones. As finally adopted by the •ministers the demands upon China are that she shall impose the severest possible punishment the Chinese government can inflict and pay a reasD Dnable indemnity to the powers for the killing of their citizens, damage to their property and expenses incurred in the dispatch of relief expeditions. , A Durban dispatch says "Lord Roberts, who has arrived here, was accorded a tumultuous reception. Members of the Irish association dragged his carriage to the town hall. The streets were profusely decorated and crowded to suffocation. Numerous addresses were presented to the field marshal."

All of the power of the administration is being brought to bear to hare the treaty ratified in the exact form in which the convention was signed by Secretary Hay and Lord Pauncefote. The president and Secretary Hay take the position that ths construction and operation of the Nicaragua canal by the United States is out of the question until the Clayton Bulwer treaty has been abrogated and the Neutrality of the canal assured. They also hold that the amendment to th* treaty reported by Senator Davis last spring which permits the United State* to use all of its forces necessary "for tho protection of the United States" and the canal will put the treaty in such shape that it will not be acceptable to Great Britain. They sb.v that if the treaty is amendod snd ratified In such form that it will be rejected by England, treaties cannot be entered into between tho United States and Nicaragua and tfee building of the Niearaguan canal wilLJje indefinitely delayed. 28c. ead 50c. at all drnggteta or tbrougti IF.

As a result of the vlndictiveness of Germany and of the ministers who had undergone the siege, terms were' drafted requiring the execution of the authors of the outrages and the payment of an indemnity so great that it was plain it could never be collected. These demands were very unsatisfactory to the Washing ton authorities. Fortunately at this moment Japan Indicated that she favored moderation. Backed by Japan, Russia and France, the president and Secretary Hay aeited the opportunity to bring about an exchange of views between the power*. Russia suggested that the demand regarding punishment should call foe the aerereat punishment short of death that China could inflict, and, with a slight modification, this was adopted. Great Britain fall Into line, and finally Germany's aseeot was obtained. Ill diplomatic circles here the agreement thus rtaohed Is regarded as the result of the keen diplomacy of Secretary Hay, and he is given the highest praise for his work. H. G. WEEKS & CO. i Best Pat.

They want the canal to be defended by the nary, and they insist on the Davis .amendment in order that United States ships can be employed within the three mile neutral limit to keep an enemy in time of war from entering the canal. Under the terms of the treaty any enemy that can get within the three mile limit must be permitted to pass through the canal and cannot be assailed on emerging until three miles from the shore.

He is now a fugitive through the courtesy of the men he is said to have robbed, who were reluctant to see him imprisoned and who offered him the opportunity to escape.

PHONE CONNECTION. Duluth, Minn., Dec. fi.—Charles A. Towne last night confirmed the report that Governor Llnd had tendered him the United States senatorship to succeed the late Senator C. K.

Mr. Towne refused to discuss the matter further, but said he would leave for Washington via St. Paul today. There is great satisfaction in Duluth over the appointment, as, irrespective of party lines, the feeling is general that Mr. Towne is the most prominent member of Governor Lind's party in the state and that under the circumstances the honor of going to the senate should be his.
