On the other hand, the British Foreign Oice is not quite so hope- ful. Oicials there profess to be ra- ther at sea as to whether the condi- tions are to be irrevocable or .other- wise.

British officials ad- mit that they gave in under protest, and witha distinct reservation-tha_t, although the demands are irrevoca- `ble, this in no way constitutes en- forcement of demands by European troops.` To such a course, Great Britain cannot,, and will not, agree.

London, Dec. 19.--Great Britain s proposed alterations, in the preamble of the joint note have been practical- ly accepted by all the powers, says the 'Pekin correspondent of The Daily Mail, wiring Monday. "Both Russia and Japan, whose support. was regarded as doubtful, have agreed._ Only the attitude, of the United States remains as yet not clearly defined: but the `acq'u'iescence_ of.America' is anticipated, and it is probable that the joint note will `be isigned and, deliveredto the Chinese plenipotentiaries _ within three _, or 1.four days.
