PART UNITED STATES
TOOK IN CHINESE
THDUBLES.
According to Rockhill the Influence
of This Country Was Always
for Clemency Summary
of Demands Made by
the Powers.
Washington. December 11. —The long
expected report of Special Commissioner
Rockhill to the secretary of state on the
results of ids work in connection with
tile Chin, negotiations in Pekin has
been submitted to congress, along with
the full text of the protocol, which has
been already published, and a mass ot
detailed statements. It was ujion this re
port that the president based his com
mendatory reference to Mr. Rockhill's
work in his recently published message
to emigres*.
The report says:
"The twelve demands made by the
powers on China, the accomplishment
of which was deemed necessary l<>r the
restoration of normal relations with that
country ami which were embodied in the
joint note of December 22, ht’K'. may be
classed under four principal h-aus:
"i. Adequate punisliln. nt for the au
thors «>f and those guilty of actual par
ticipation in tii- atiti-foreign massacres
am! riots. 2. The adoption of measures
necessary to prevent their recurrence.
3. Th- indemnification for losses sus
tained by states ami foreigners through
tbe.*> <a>;s. 4. Th- improvement <>f our
relations, both official and commercial,
with the Chinese government at«l with
China generally.
Punishment of Boxers.
"As regards the punishment of the re
sponsible authors anti actual perpetrators
of the anti-foreign outrages, the govern
ment of the I'niteil States, while insist
ing that all such should be held to the
utmost accountability, declined to deter
mine in every ease the nature of the
puntshmi-nt to be inflicted, and main
tained that the Chinese government it
self should in all cases carry them
out.
"As soon as the chief culprits had Is-en
punished, considering th- terribly losses
ifi life and prom-rty sustained bv China,
the t inted Stabs threw the weight of
its inttuvm-e on th- side of moderation
and th- prevention of further bloodshed.
To this it was mainly dm- that the long
lists of proscription, which had been tire,
fiared by th'* representatives of the pow
ers. of Chinese in the provimes charged
with parth'lpation in the massacres or
riots, wore re|s-at<’dly revised before
presentation to the Chinese government, i
"While seeking with the other powers
tin- b< *t m< ans to prevent the recurrence i
of such troubles ami to guard in tic
future American residents in I’-kin from
stch dangt rs as they bad passe.l through,
tin Cnited States did not lend its sup- ,
port to <n\ plan which contemplatt i
either the prolonged motivation bv for- •

china, ot the erection of an international '
fort in the eltv of l’, kin from which to

"As rtgards the third point of th'- nc- j

ot the various stabs for the losses and

in sending expeditionary forces, the gov- ;

th.it the sum total of tluse indemnities

I in the Held that the war has destroyed
I innumerable homes and devastated large
; territories, ill of which, while it ;ib ind

I does not remove the fact that the opera-

lution of the peonle of tile i'nited States
to make th ir sovereignty respected
throughout the archipelago. The league
urges tile leaders to make peace to avoid
greater evils.

M'LAURIN JABBED BY
BOTH JONES AND
TILLMAN.
Senator Jones Shows That McLaurin
Is Inaccurate in His Statements.
Hoar Declares Tillman
and McLaurin Are Out
of Senate.
Washington. December 9.—(Special.)—
The senators from South Carolina suc
ceeded today in making things lively
through a vigorous and characteristic
washing of Carolina's dirty political linen
before the staid body of legislators to
which they belong. Senator McLaurin
started it by complaining because the
democrats will not take care of him in
the matter of committee places, and hf<
complaints and explanations brought
upon hint vigorous tongue lashing from
Senator Tillman and Senator Jones, head
of the democratic steering committee.
McLaurin was given by Tillman another
opportunity to make good his bluff at
resigning, but contented himself by say
ing he would meet Tillman anywhere,
any way, at any time, which those unfa
miliar with the ways of Carolina poli
ticians tonight are construing as tight
talk. Os course there is no fight on the
tapis except tongue contests.
McLaurin Not Exactly Correct.
Senator Jones, in his reply to Senator
McLaurin, gave exactly the interpreta
tion of the dropping of McLaurin's name
from the caucus roll last session which
The Constitution printed at that time
and which showed that McLaurin's state
ment was not exactly correct.
The exciting clash between the two
senators to<l .y was the ducct sequel c.f
;b” very bitter controversy which arose
between them in South Carolina last
spring. Mt Laurin ar< »e to a question of
personal privilege today and proceeded
to explain what he charged was a con
spiracy to discredit him in his own state
for acts and views which did not meet
the approval of certain democratic lead
ers. He declared that he was being
humiliated, and. according to public
prints, was to be excluded from the dem
ocratlc caucus because he had acted
upon certain public issues in away which
he considered was for the best interests
of the country and the people of his
stati . JI” announced himself a believer
In the old demoracy and after denounc
ing the new democratic leaders wh". he
said, had brought destruction upon the
party, declared that ho could not be
driven from his old allegiance into a
party with which lie did not care to af
filiate.
Drew Fire of Jones.
Mr. Mei,aurin's statements drew the
fire of Senator Jones, chairman of the
democratic national committee, wh" de
nied that he 1 ad any "ulterior motives"
in not inviting Mr. McLaurin to enter
the caucus. From Mr. Tillman it brought
forth a review of the whole controversy
in Hi. course of which Mr. Hoar took
occasion to express the opinion that it
was very doubtful whether both the
Houtli Carolina seats in the senate were
not in reality vacant. 11” contended that
vv ben tile resignations were offered last
spring to tiie governor they could not
thereafter be withdrawn, but that they
became immediately operative. He cited
a precedent and suggested that the com
mittee on privileges and elections should
look into the mutter.
The climax came when Senator Till
man challenged Mr. McLaurin to join
■.villi him in preparing their joint resig
nations and handing them to the pre
siding officer of the senate. Tills chal
lenge. how* ver. Mr. McLaurin did not
accept, and the episode was brought to
an abrupt dose bv a motion of Senator
l,"'ge that the senate go into executive
session.
