WASHINGTON, July 22. The State de
partment received n dispatch today from
Commissioner Rockhlll at Pckln announc
lng that n plan for tho payment of tho In
demnlty to the powers by tho Cblneso gov
eminent had bocp adopted.
Tin! amortization ot tho bonds to be is
sued wilf begin In 1902, nnd tho plan con-
templates tho entire liquidation of both
principal and Interest by 1940.
It Is expected that China will ralso 23,-
000,000 taols annually. This sum Is to be
used (a pay tho Interost on the bonds and
do form a sinking fund for tho ultimate
.lquldatton of, tho principal.
Mr. Rockblll's dispatch was brief and
lid not' go Into any details. From their
knowledge pf tho goncral basis upon which
iha ministers hnvo boon working, however,
thu State department officials havo a gen
oral - tdoa ot. tho conclusions which have
been reached. The total amount of In
demnity which China will havo to pay
will aggregate 450,000,000 tacls and bear I
per cent annual interest. It la estimated
that of tho 23,000,000 taels which China is
sto pay tho first year 18,000,000 taels will
be required for Interest and that 50,000,000
tneja will bo 'applied to tho sinking fund.
Each year the Interest will grow less and
tho amount , set aside for the sinking fund
will ' increase, so that by 1940, htn the
bonds arc to ,bo liquidated, tho Interest will
be Almost normal. Tho sources of ' reve
nue for tho payment of tho Indemnity as
understood hero .nro to bo derived from
tho 'salt tax, tho uiarltlmo customs and
t lie tlitqa tax-, a portion to bo taken from
each
The principal of. tho pnyment of the In
demnity having been determined upon
what remains now in to to devolve a plan
Air' Its execution, This Is not regarded as
u serious problem. The bonds guarantee
ing tho Indorfinlty are to bo distributed
among tho various powers on Iho basis
agreed upon heretofore. Thcro will be
no International guiirnutees, but It Is ex
pected that governments to whom tho
bonds aro' allotted- will see that tho pur
chasers will be safo In their investments,
State department olilcerH apprehend that
there will tin no troublo upon tho part
of the various governments In disposing ot
theso securities.

CAUSTIC REMARKS MADE By JOHNSTON
Chnlriiinn tlenlKii, but Council He
fiiKm to Accept Ills Action Cltf
Knthera Trnnanct Much (len
ernl IlunlneR.
Dccauso tho report of the finance com
mittee was rejected by the council last
night one of the warmest sessions of the
council In a long time was held. The whole
troublo started when Johnston read n list
of about $5,000 worth of claims against tho
city which had been allowed by the finance
committee. For a time there was no second
to bis motion that the repcrt bo adopted.
President ot the Council Adklns at last
seconded It and when all of the reit, except
Johnston, had voted against the report,
Adklns also voted against It, saying that
If there was anything wrong ho wanted to
know what It was.
Johnston then got on his feet nnl asked
the councllmen to Individually state what
their objections were to tho report. Falling
to got any explanation, Johnston accused
certain members, without mentioning any
names, of voting against the report because
they feared that "there wns something In
it for somebody" and that they were not
Included In tho chosen few.
Eloquence dropped below par. There were
motions nnd counter motions and amend
ments fired ncross the council table faster
than President Adklns could rule them out
of order. Finally. Johnston handed In his
resignation as chairman of the finance
committee. August Miller Immediately sec
onded It, but the balnncc of the cnunull
voted down tho resignation. Van Sant, one
of tho commutes to nllow the bills, came
In and voted that the report be adopted.
The vote stood: Ayes, Adklns, Johnston and
Van Sant; nays, Martin, Miller nnd Dwdrak,
The motion was considered lost nnd the
report tabled.
When tho council was called to order
Adklns wns In tho chair and Van Sant was
tho only absent member. City Attorney
Lambert'B report was read and referred, as
was the report of the police Judge. Richard
Swift had a communication, asking that
the council nllow him to withdraw from tho
saloon bond of Nell Mulcahv.
City Clerk 8, C. Shrlgley and City Treas
urer Frank Koutsky filed a report In which
they said It would cost $15,900 to run the
city for two months.
Communications were read In which the
city was aBked to compromise certain spe
cial assessments. Under Instructions from
Mr, Lambert the city council has no power
to do this without suit being commenced,
so the communications wero tabled.
Tho Grant Paving compony will be paid
$1,598.10 for the repair work which It did
somo weeks ago on Twenty-fourth street.
Tho stairway on tho Q street viaduct
leading to Swift and Company was ordered
loscd. Tho council Instructed the city
attorney to commence proceedings to open
S street from Thirteenth to Fifteenth street.
Ordinances on first reading were as fol
lows: Ordinance repealing franchise given
to Strcot Fair association; ordinance to
establish grade on A and E streets from
Twcnty-thtrd to Twenty-fourth street;
ordinances establishing Improvements dls
trlcts on A. R. C. D and E streets from
Twenty-third to Twenty-fourth street;
ordinance providing for tho laying of
permanent sidewalks.
A lot of motions, providing for the lay
lng ot sldowalks, crosswalks, cutting down
weeds nnd other expenditures were rcferrod
to tho proper committees. This lsrthe first
time that this has been done, but the new
charter provides that It shall bo unless an
emergency clauso Is attached.
Chief Etter and a lot of firemen niea
their bonds, which wero referred to tho city
ttorncy and finance committee, A resolu
tion to send Chief Etter to Indianapolis to
ttend tho national firefighters' association
was tabled by being referred to the city
ttnmev. He will not return in time to
allow Chief Etter to go.
No ordinance was on file regarding the
futuro actions of the pontoon bridge poo
nla and no communication told of their
future plans.
Tho council adjourned until next Monday
ninht. After tho adjournment the nnance
committee held an Informal session In tho
end of tho council chamber, but since
harmony did not prevail, It broke up with
out any final action being taken on future
bills and the attitude of tho nuance com
mltteo in respect to them.

President ot the Board of Education J.
H. Rulla left yesterday mornlug for a trip

tion .vlth the ngltatlon which has been
storied ovfr tho building of the proposed
Hoctor site school, brolie up a quorum if
the board, so no meitliuj wns hold last
night.
If the rumor which was current yesier-
dty Is true the board has temporarily aban
doned any Idea of crt'i'tlng n school build
ing at present, notwithstanding that tno
district is In terrible need of more room.
In fact Superintendent MeLnlu says he
docs not know where aH of the pupils who
have applied for enrollment will be placed.
The action of tho tnxpayera In asking that
school building should be built nt a
reasonable outlay seoim to have stirred up
a faction among thu board, so that noth
ing, at present at 'east, will be done.
Meanwhile the matter Plata entirely with
the hoard. Notwlthitandlns that the dle
trlct needs a new school and needs It most
badly and that th'.i fact Is self-evident,
the parents of puplli can do nothing and
must abldo tho decision nnd action of the
board and wait for Its ple.isum to act.
Xo Proatrntlon Yesterday,
Notwithstanding that the heat was In
tense in South Omaha yesterday no pros
trations were reported. At the packing
nouses the atmosphere was almost un
bearable and' the management looked for
trouble at any minute. Water was lib
eraiiy sprinkled around the different
plants and this tended, to a certain ex
tent, to relieve the effects of the heat.
Acting Mayor Adklns said last nlglu
that It may be that the fire department
will be Instructed to flood the, principal
streets ot tho town today If the beat keeps

"In one way, possibly, I was responsible

given out some time afterward were not at
nil correct. They were entirely different
from tils first accounts and were written In
a different spirit, I think. An Interview
purporting to have come from Admiral
Schloy published, I bollcve, on January 0,
was entirely Incorrect. Soon nfter this
statement appeared In print he came aboard
my ship ntid told me that he had been In
correctly quoted. The reporter to whom
tho Interview was granted was a friend of
mine and he nfterward told ine that he had
published Schley's words practlcatly as
they had been spoken."
WASHINGTON, July 22. Commander
Walnvyrlght, commandant of tho United
States Naval academy, under date of July
20, has made the following roply to the
Navy department's Inquiry concerning the
use of Maclay's history:
"Having seen so much In tho papers In
regard to the third volume of Maclays'
naval history and having rocotved also an
otllclal lottor from you on tho subjact, I
think It right to put you In possession of a
' nowledBe of the case as existing at the
Naval academy.
"Thoro has been no proposition to adopt
,,. ,hlp, ,,. , hnnV or r.fHr.
enco hook, either from tho head of the de
partment ot English, tho academic board or
any person within my knowledge. There is
no Intention here ot requiring the cadets
to study the history ot recent events, as In
the Spanish-American war, and their time
Is too limited to require them to study a
full volume on any one war.
"Maclay's naval history was adopted with
the consent of tho department In 1S95,
when tho English course here was extended
beyond lta former limits. This Intention not
to adopt tho third volume of Maclay's his
tory Is eutlrely apart from any considera
tion of Its value as a history of the war,
or of the knowledge of the facta and criti
cisms contained therein. I do not know
ot a copy of the third volume at the Naval
academy."
Secretary Long this afternoon Indicated
to the newspaper men who called upon
him that he did not care to discuss further
the revival of the Sampson-Schley con
troversy. Ho said, however, that he had
received a letter from Mr. Maclay In which
tho author of the "Naval History of tho
United States" agreed to his (tho secre
tary's) statemont that only the third chap
ter of his hook (that relating to moblllra
lion) had been placed In the secretary's
hands uponithe publication ot bis book.
NEW YORK, July 22. Admiral Bchley
was seen tonight at Great Neck, L. I.,
where he is at present stopping. He de
clared he would bavo nothing to say at
present, no matter what was said by oth
ers endorsing Maclay's history. He added
that later, when others had said all tbey
wanted to, ho might Issue a statement, but
that this was uncertain.
