THE CHINESE
SETTLEMENT
Powers Still Unable to Agree as to
Methods of Punishment at Pekln.
Our Government's Note.
Ity INchi'Ive Wire from The Associated Pica.
Washington, Nov. 23. The secretary
of state has addressed an Identical
note to the powers Interested In the
Chlne.-e situation sotting out tersely
and afresh tho object of the United
States government as to China and
pointing out how such objects as are
common to the powers can best be se
cured. The note marks tho initiation
of fresh negotiations on our part on
the arrangement of new bases to tide
over the impressible situation created
at the last meeting of the ministers In
Pekln. Some responses already are at
I hand, and it is stated that generally
our advances have been well received
and the state department expresses
satisfaction with the progress so far
achieved. It is believed that tho note
is an appeal from the extreme course
suggested by some of the powers as
to the treatment of China, especially
in the matter of punishments and In
demnities to which the ministers at
Pukin seem Inclined. The inlenl Is to
push the negotiations on a more ra
tional and business-like basiv,.
Loudon, Nov .21, "A serious diver
gence has arisen In Pekln," says tho
Tien Tsln correspondent of tho Daily
Mail, wiring Monday. "Japan, the
United States, llussia nnil Franco fa
vor cisMuuiiding a milder punishment
than the execution of Prince Tuan and
tho others, while Kngland, (Jermany.
Austria and Italy deem anything less
than the death penalty useless.
"An important decision has been ar
rived at however, that this divergence
is not to interfere with the general
peace negotiations.
"Another remarkable feature of the
situation Is the sudden volte face of
Russia, who now declines either to
withdraw her troops from tho province
of Chi I.i or to hand over the railway,
as promised."
Merlin, Nov. 23. A cablegram from
Field Marshal Count Von Wnlderseo
says Colonel Muehlenfel's detachment,

out of Amkiu riiwang, after a short

announced, has attacked tho rear
guard of the Chinese troops, retiring

Ily Eolusive Wire from The Associated l'reAi.
Washington, Nov. 23. Chairman
Hull, of the house committee on mili
tary affairs, today called u meeting of
the committee for next Tuesday. He
holies that a quorum wilt be present,
and that the committee can go to work
Immediately upon tho outlines of the
new army bill.
"It will bo in the direction ot econo
my to pass the army bill without de
lay," said Mr. Hull today. "The army
now in the Philippines will have to be
brought home In the summer, that Is,
those who do not care to re-eullst.
Thu transports which go out for them
should depart laden with the troops
who are to replace them, else the ships
will make one voyage empty."
Mr. Hull was In conference today
with the president and with oflleials
of the war department upon ."he char-
! actor of legislation desired by the ad
ministration. He said the president
! will communicai,' to congress fully his
recommendations about the army and
be did not assume to' speak: the presi
dent's mind In advance.
. Largo Army Needed.
Ho thought, however, that the ad
ministration would not be content
with any makeshift legislation, no
preparation to continue the present
law for two years more. His impres
sion was that tho president wanted
authority to raise a regular amy suffi
cient for the needs of the country,
100,000 men, If necessary, thu number
to be reduced when there was no long
er need for them. Mr. Hull said the
Taft commission had reported that 15,
000 Filipinos could be enlisted linnn'
dlately in tho army and that they
would make good soldiers under Amer
ican ollleers. There was no fear of a
repetition of Great Britain's experi
ence with the Sepoys, for the Fili
pinos, Mr. Hull said, have no national
i feeling like the natives of India. More
over, added Mr. Hull, the business of
enlisting native troops has proven suc
cessful and there are no more loyal
or efficient soldiers than the natives
enlisted in the British army in India,

VIOLATION OF TREATY
A Policy of Procrastination on Part
of the Porte United States Battle
ship Kentucky Ordered to Smyrna.
Dr. Norton Directed to Proceed
Without Exequatur.
By Inclusive Wire fiom Tho Associated l'ie.
Constantinople, Nov. 23. The porte
has definitely rejected the request for
an exequatur or a United States consul
at Harpoot. This refusal Is regarded
by the United States legation us a di
rect violation of treaty rights, and,
consequently, despite the refusal, Dr.
Thomas II. Norton, who was appointed
by rresltletit McKlnley some time ago
to establish a consulate at Itnrpoot,
has been directed to proceed to his
post.
The expected visit of the batlleshin
Kentucky to Smyrna Is believed tei m
late quite as much to this matter as to
tile indemnity eiuestlon.
Naples. Nov. -'3. The fulled States
battleship Kentucky, which arrived
hen- on November 111, sails tomorrow
for Smyrna.
Washington. Nov. 23. Thu 'refusal of
the Turkish government to grant an
exequatur to the American consul at
Harpoot (KharmiO has not yet been
reported officially to the state ilepart
menl. Such action was unexpected.
The Turkish method generally Is pro
crastination, rather thnn direct refusal.
That serves the same end, without giv
ing tangible ground for reprisals.
Dr. Norton, who was appointed con
sul at Harpoot, lias been in C'onstan'I
nople awaiting his exequatur nbout
tlnee months. Tho claim or the United
States in this ease Is based on Article
2. oT the treaty of May 7. 1830, whl-h
reads: "And the United States may
appoint their citizens to be consu's, and
vice-consuls sit the comniM'rdul places
in tho dominion of the sublime p'irfc,
where it shall be found needful to
superintend the affairs of commerce."
Thu Turkish objection to the estab
lishment: of n consulate at harpoot and
Ktwroum nuclei' llial apparently clear
permission lias been based on' the
rather novel reason that there was no
commerce at the two points, and II
has been difficult for our officials to
establish the contrary proposl'ion.
Some time ago tho Turkish covern
lncnt accorded to the British govern
ment tin; light lo establish a consulate
at Harpoot, and the state depa'-tnieut
Immediately based an additional claim
on the "favored nation" clause of its
general treaty, which would appear to
wai rant it In demanding the simo
privilege of establishing' a consulate at
a given point In Turkey as granted to
Great Britain.
