L'O.-rrincc t'hlnR nnd LI Hung ChntiK linve received n tele gram which virtuully mentis that tli Chinese will comply with ull the demand f the powers, although they still ile ire Information on a fen minor points. The foreign envoys look forwurd con fidently to absolute coinpliuiice hy to morrow at the latest. I'liuce ChiiiK HH'I M Hung ClmiiK have hcvn greatly worried by the prepara tion! for the expedition Into the In terior, and they have strongly urged the court to yield, pointing out that other wise the dismemberment of the empire was probable. General Chaffee siunalized the Chi nese New Year by cullitiK upon l-i Hung Chang, who Beemed to be in much better health. It. is now asserted that the (tci-mims will turn the railroad ever to the Brit ish nt the end of the month. Last Saturday was nu uncomfortable one for Li Ilium (.'haute ami l'rinoe Chititi, the Chinese peace cuiiiinisMioncrs. Dr. Milium von Schwnrtsicnstciii, the German minister, visited the Chinese en voys on that day ami informed them that Count von Wuldcrsce would be ready to start n great expedition for Singan-fu on Fab. if the Chinese government did not comply with the demands of the min isters before that date. The Chinese commissioners asked the minister how many men would compose the expedition. Dr. Mumm von rVhwnrtzeiistcin refused to tell, hut suid there would be enough to get through to the Chinese capital. The Chinese commissioners immediate ly dispatched an alarming message to the empress dowager, in which they in formed her that she must hurry and agree to the terms nnd that the Ger mans would surely start for Singan-fu if she did not settle by the date mentioned. Later in the day nu attache of the British legation visited Li Hung Chang and l'rince Chiug nnd told them that the English were tired of waiting to hear from the Chinese government. Their troops were anxious nnd enthusias tic to join an expedition nnd would start next Saturday with the Germans. They would never rest until they got the en tire court in their hands, and once they had succeeded in doing this there wus no telling what would happen. This alarmed the Chinese commission ers still more, nnd they rushed a second telegram to the empress dowager, iu which they urged the necessity for quick action on her part. A little later an at tache of the Japanese legation visited Li Hung Chang's temple and told the Chi nese envoys that the Japanese were tin dor Count von Wnldorsec's orders and would be compelled to join the expedi tion next Saturday, The Japanese at tache advised quick compliance with the demands of the ministers us the only way of preventing the dispatch of the expedition. Thereupon the Chinese commissioners bustled off a third telegrum to the em press dowager. This time they told her that there were only two heads in ques tion those of Chno Shu Chao and Ying Lien while if the expedition should start thousands of her loyal subjects would be killed, nnd there would also be a tcr menilous property loss. All these tele grams are now in the hands of the em press dowager nnd the court, ami it is very likely that they will interfere some what with, the New Year's festivities, Which are supposed to lust five days. Meantime the German, British and Japanese headquarters show great signs of activity, and the troops there nre mak ing every preparation to start on Feb. -.'1 if it should be necessary.

Early in the day Mr. Dehoe of Ken tucky delivered his announced speech up on the Nicaragua caunl. He reviewed at length the proceedings which led up to the prcsi-nt situation nnd strongly advo cated the construction of the waterway hy the I'nited States.
