The arrangement of affairs in China, by the Powers, up to Sunday, November 11, as reported by the China correspondent of the London Times, is as follows:— Pressed by the common desire for a speedy termination of present conditions, the foreign envoys have finally agreed to the following terms, to be presented in a conjoint note, which, subject to the approval of the governments, will be pressed upon China as the basis of a preliminary treaty:— China shall erect a monument to Baron von Ketteler on the site where he was murdered, and send an imperial prince to Germany to convey an apology. She shall inflict the death penalty upon eleven princes and officials already named, and suspend provincial examinations for five years where the outrages occurred. In future all officials failing to prevent anti-foreign outrages within their jurisdiction shall be dismissed and punished. (This is a modification of Mr. Conger's proposal.) Indemnity shall be paid to the state, corporations, and individuals. The tsung li yamen shall be abolished, and its functions vested in a foreign minister. Rational intercourse shall be permitted with the emperor, as in civilized countries. The forts at Taku and the other forts on the coast of Chi Li shall be razed, and the importation of arms and war material prohibited. Permanent legation guards shall be maintained and also guards of communication between Peking and the sea. Imperial proclamations shall be posted for two years throughout the empire, suppressing Boxers. The indemnity is to include compensation for Chinese who suffered through being employed by foreigners, but not compensation for native Christians. The words “missionary” and “Christians” do not occur in the note. From this it is plain that henceforth the government of China is to be only by the Powers in China; and thus the greater Eastern question becomes a fixed condition, the ending of which will be but the ending of all things earthly, as God hath declared unto his servants the prophets.
