It takes years to build a reputation of this character and we feel very proud of it. Our stock for the present season is the largest and best assorted we have ever carried, and had we spi ce to

Disagreement in Pekin.
IF MINISTERS CANNOT
AGREE, WHAT WILL
BE DONE?
Washington, Nov 22 ?The state
department so far has heard nothing
ftom Mr Conger respecting the "im?
passe" reported to have been reach?
ed by the foreign ministers yesterday
at Pekin In fact, save a brief
expression respecting the insufficien
cy of the punishments proposed by
the Chinese government to be inflict?
ed upon the responsible leaders of
the Boxer movement, Mr Cojger has
not communicated with the depart
ment for more than a week.
Without taking issue with Mr Con
ger inspecting this matter of punish
ments, the state department has ear
nestly advised him not to insist upon
impossible conditions in the negotia
tions
An interesting problem is suggest
ed by the possibility, which today is
almost a probability, that the minis
tera representing the powers at
Pekin cannot reach an agreement
If Russia, France and the United
State should refuse to accept the
German idea, as seconded by the
British representative very much
would depend upou Japan, and even
some of the lesser powers represent
ed at Pekin by ministers might have
great power in swaying the proceed?
ings of the council The impression
seems to be that if a majority of the
ministers, or perhaps even one of
the representatives of a great power,
withholds assent to the sgreemeut.
then the whole undertaking falls, and
there must be either fresh negotia
tions directly between the govern
ments in the effort to sgree upon a
new basis of action, or the powers
most proceed to deal with the Chi?
nese situation singly, or in groups,
the latter contingency having been
provided for in the Germau British
agreement
