Thia we have proven beyond all doubt during the past month, in which our business has been the* largest ever recorded in September. Some of our friends .attracted by newspaper advertise?

Disagreement in Pekin.
IF MINISTERS CANNOT
AGREE, WHAT WILL
BE DONE ?
Washington, Nov 22 ?The stste
deportment so far has heard nothing
fioro Mr Conger respecting the "im?
passe" reported to have been reach*
ed by tbe foreign ministers yesterday
at Pekin In fact, save a brief
expression respecting the insufficien
cy of the punishments proposed by
tbe 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 lespecting this matter of punish
merits, tbe state department has ear
nestly advised him not to insist upon
impossible conditions in tbe negotia
tlont
An interesting problem is suggest
ed by the possibility, which today is
slmost a probability, that the raiuis
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 tbe
British representative very much
would depend upon 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 tbst if a majority of tbe
ministers, or perhaps even one of
the repreaentetives of a great power,
withholds assent to the agreement,
then the whole undertaking falls, aud
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
must proceed to deal with the Chi?
nese situation singly, or in groups,
the latter contingency having been
provided for in the German British
