Empress id Her Decree Fails to Show any Realization of of Seriousness of Situation RECORD 0FTUAN AND CHANG WOULD WARRANT DEATH DEGRADATION OF PRINCR VTTT AND TSIAI YING NOT REGARD ED AS SUFFICIENT ONLY SE VERE PUNISHMENT IS THAT OF YU HSIEN. Ty-.1-i - XT -I FT j. cft.ui, iv. n.xne unanimous opinion of the ministers here is that the pum'sbment provided by the recent edict to be meted out to the leaders of the boxer outbreak is wholly inade quajte. The ministerts argue that the empress has power further to punish the guilty parties., and base their argu ment on the fact that she has already decreed severe but inadequate punish ment to be inflicted on some of the ot fending officials, including Prince Tuan. The rniindsters insist that the demand for a death punishment in the cases of Tuan and Ohwang is reasona oie m the face of the fact that they were authors of an anti-foreign procla matioh. issued during the siege of Pe kin calling for the decapitation of all foreigners' caught hiding and offering a reward for all delivered alive to them . 'rne oegradation of Princes Yd and Tsiai Ying is not regarded as ufH cient because they personally directed the Chinese troops to fire on the lega tions. The only severe punishment Is that of Tu Hsien, who deported to the frontier and condemned to hard la bor for life. The edict calling for the puttishment of the igudlty persons closes by declaring that the punishment met ed out is jxist and impartial and says "We think that the whole world will now excuse us." Frorm the tenor of the edict it 1 thought that the empress does not realize the seriousness of the situation and this fact has made the mdrristers feel stronger In Insisting on their demands. Tn addition the minis ters have been further strengthened because the empress 4n forwarding the edict to Li Hung Chang said it was1 im possible at present to punish General Tuang Fu Hsiang, commander of the imperial troops. ANTI-CHRISTIAN RIOTfl. Canton, Nov. 19. Refugees report that anti-Christian riots have broken out in the province of Kiang Si. The non-Christians are wearing badges. and all persons not so decorated are In danger of death. The viceroy has apointed a deputy to settle the disturbance and French gunboats will accompany the latter with a view to enforcing the orders. St. Petersburg, Nov. 19. Despatches from Vladivostock say the Chinese have destroyed 300 versts of the south ern section of the Manchurian railroad. All stations were burned and much rolling stock destroyed. The damage is estimated at 10,000,000 rubles. When LI Hung Chang recently called on Conger and asked him. to prevail on bi's colleagues to delay the punishment of the guilty parties Conger replied: "It will tfe necessary for somebody t .prevail on me first." 'EveTyfbody agrees that peace (negotiations rmist be hurried or the Chinese trade may he- destroyed. It is realized now that the execution of the Chinese officials implicated in. the massacres of Pao Ting Fu by the in ternational commission was a tremen dous blunder. Those who were execut ed are regarded fay their countrymen as martyrs. Hjtd view of these executions there seems to be some reason for the empress' expressed lack of faith In the promises of the powers that no harm will come to her if she returns to Pe kin.

In the reichstag to- lday in debatir ;the bm for the y- meni oi expenditures m unina, jjr. Lieber surprised the house by his trenchant criticism of the emperor's speeches on China and Germany's pol icy. He dissented from his majesty's 5 declaration that no great world ques- tion in the future could be settled with out Germany's concurrence, and he declared this was a dangerous doe trine. Was Germany, he asked, neces sarily to interfere, for instance, in the event of a recurrence of the war be tween the United 'States and Spain? He deplored the emperor's "no quarter" utterance, and saSd he could not recon cile himself to the thought of German soldiers acting in China with the inhu manity depicted in letter that have beeji received from some of "them. Herr Be'bel, social democratic lead er, followed. He condemned the w-Lole policy of ft1? powers in China. Europe, he said, was reaping what she had sown Her troops were in 'China con trary to the law of nations and -they were the first to attack.

Members Arriving in Wash ton for Important Commit tee Meetings. TO CONSIDER REDUCTION OF WAR TAX BILLS THAT ARB LIKELY TO OCCUPY ATTENTION OF SESSION Washington, Nov. 19. Congressmen are arriving on every train and' the work of the session will really begin this week with meetings of the commiit tees on wraysi and means and finance, called for the purpose of considering the passage of a bill reducing the war tax. It seems thoroughly settled that the work of the session, in addition to the passage of appropriation bills and oth er routine measures, will consist of the passage of an army reorganization bill, 'ship subsidy bill, war revenue reduc tion bill, Hay-Pauncefote treaty, reaa portkmment bill and the Spooner reso lution giving the president full power until the Philippine insurrection shall have ceased and a permanent form: of government established. There is some difference of opinion on two or three matters, particularly as to whether the reapportionment bill should be accompanied iby provision cutting down the representation for the south, what the amount of war revenue reduction ought to be, how: large an army should be provided arid whether the NIcaragutan canal bill should be passed before or after the treaty Is rat ified and the contract made between this government and Nicaragua and Costa Rica, under the termjs of which the United States shall become abso lute owners of the canal when built.
