Why Not Go to California?
Here's a suggestion for a holiday
trip:
Huy a round-trip ticket to San Fran
Itisco at the reduced rates which will
be in effect on account of the Epworth
League meeting in that city in July—
go west by way of Denver and Salt
Lake City, past all the glorious moun
tain scenery of Colorado and Utah—
spend a few weeks in California—
come home via Portland, Seattle, Ta
coma, Spokane and Billings, Mont.
If you have time, stop off and see
Yellowstone Park. A month is suffi
cient for the entire trip. In that time
you will see more than moat people do
in a lifetime.
And the expense is almost unbeliev
ably small.
Write for a copy of the Burlington's
Epworth League folder, which tells all
about It—gives you just the Informa
tion you need about rates, routes,
through cars, scenery, stop-overs, etc.

Chaffee’s Insinuations Bring Ministers to
Lady McDonald’s Defense.
SAYS SHE TOOK ONLY A ROSE
There Were Those With Her Who Swear
She Appropriated Nothing of Value—1
The Same Charge Against an American
Gentleman'e Wife.
NEW YORK, May 25.—A dispatch
to the Herald from Pekin says: The
last general meeting of the diplomatic
corps was the scene of a more acute
phase of the controversy over looting.
The question was raised by the diplo
mats friendly to Lady McDonald, who
thinks a great injustice was done her
by the supposed reference to her In
one of General Chaffee’s letters upon
the subject of looting.
Ministers of two European coun
tries arose successively and made
statements as to I-*idy McDonald’s be
havior on the day of the first visit of
the allies to the Forbidden City, which
were practically identical. They were
with her throughout the day and de
clared that she left the palace without
any plunder except a yellow rose
plucked in the empress’ garden.
“But,” they say, "we did, however,
witness one scene of looting, which,
together witli Lady McDonald, we
tried, but unsuccessfully, to prevent.
In the palace we met the wife of an
American, accompanied by an Ameri
can curio dealer. We suggested that
the reception was exclusively for the
members of the diplomatic corps, but
she persisted in taking the curio deal
er, whose expert opinion she wanted
upon some of the empress’ orna
ments,
“Reaching the pavilion the curio
dealer said:' 'Here, I am informed,
most valuable porcelain is concealed.’
“In spite of the protests of Lady
McDonald and ourselves the wife of
the American tried to open the cup
boards. Finally she called an Amer
ican soldier, who pried a cupboard
open with his bayonet, whereupon, not
wishing to assist at a scene we could
not prevent, we withdrew.”
The American representatives at the
meeting made no reply.
MINORITY REPORT DEEEATEO.

HAVANA, May 25.—Tho minority
report of the committee on relations
was today defeated in the constitu
tional convention by a vote of 19 to 9.

minority report was too conservative
and that he could not accept It. It Is
believed that Senor Zayas may possi
bly carry two other delegates who to
day voted with the conservatives.

HAY ON INDEMNITY.
Says Government May Yet Present Ac
ceptable Plan to Powers.
PAN FRANCISCO, Cal., May 25.—
In ail Interview with a representative
of the Bulletin, Secretary Hay said:
“It seems to us that our plan for a
modification of the demands for in
demnity has been rejected by the
foreign powers, but what will be the
next action of the United States gov
ernment in the affair has not yet been
decided.
“The indemnities demanded by the
European powers seem 10 us to be
excessive. It is possible that this
government may yet put forward a
plan for the reduction which will
prove acceptable to the other power;
interested.”

SPRINGFIELD, 111., May 24.—For
mer Governor John M. Tanner died

m., from rheumatism of the heart. He

ROCKHILL WILL BEAR DOWN.
It Unable to Get Others' Approval cf U.
8. Indemnity Flan.
WASHINGTON, May 24.—Mr. Rock
hill has confirmed the news from
Pekin to the effect that the foreign
ministers have declined to accede to
the suggestion of the United States
that the total of the indemnity to be
collected from China shall be limited
to $200,000,000.
It is expected that he will continue
his efforts in the direction of keeping
down the maximum of claims, even
while abandoning, for the sake of
harmony, the figures named, and It is
believed that the outcome will be a
compromise on a figure between
$200,000,000 and the maximum of $337,
000,000 claimed by the powers. In the
effort to keep down the total, Mr.
Rockhill looks for support to the esti
mates submitted by Sir Ernest Satow,
the British minister at Pekin, and Sir
Robert Hart, commissioner of Imperial
customs, whose report upon the abil
ity of China to pay an indemnity of
about $200,000,000 is now before the
state department.
Until the question of grand total is
settled the matter of interest to be
established on the loan and the
method, of guaranty are expected to
remain open.
Lafit of Troops Lravp.
PEKIN, May 24.—The last of the
American troops here, with the excep

In spite of the early hour and the long
distances they had to march, all the
bands of the Britisli troops escorted
the Ninth United States infantry from
the temple of agriculture to the depot,
where a Japanese band awaited the
troops. All the British generals
and their staffs and all the officers
off duty were present. The scene was
cne of great enthusiasm.

byterian general assembly today

has been under discussion for three
days.

NO MERCHOR™
Powers Do Not Favor the American Idea
of Decreasing Indemnity.
BRITAIN FAVGRS A REDUCTION
Foreign Ministers Will Consider the Mat
ter Further at Another Meeting—The
Present Policy, It Is Feared, Will
Produce Indefinite Delay.
PEKIN, May 23.—The foreign min
isters’ meeting was very unsatisfac
tory. No power was willing to ac
cede to the Americans' idea of reduc
ing the Chinese indemnity £40,000,000,
though Great Britain recognizes the
advisability of some reduction. There
will be another meeting tomorrow.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 23.—The
president and Secretary of Stat^ Hay
have been in constant communication
with Washington during all their jour
ney west. Dispatches from our foreign
embassies have been constantly re
ceived and the China situation has
been continually considered. The
president has been anxious lest the
difficulties thrown in the way of an
agreement by the representatives of
some of the powers might lead to in
definite delay and a consequent in
crease of the indemnity to be exacted.
The points to be settled are: First,
the total amount of the indemnity and
the share of each power. Second, the
method of payment.
In regard to the first point the pres
ident has constantly endeavored to
moderate the demands of the powers
to an amount which China might pay
without financial ruin or territorial
dismemberment. He has thought that
$200,000,000 was the maximum amount
indicated by the best authorities con
sulted and he has proved the willing
ness of this government to make
every sacrifice in the interest of the
Integrity of China and the restoration
of normal relations, by cutting down
our already moderate claim onehalf if
other powers would make proportion
ate reduction. These propositions have
not been accepted by the other gov
ernments, though Great Britain has
shown a disposition to a considerate
treatment of the matter.
As to the method of payment it is
understood that there are various
propositions before the conference of
ministers in Pekin. One is a loan to
be contracted by China guaranteed by
the powers, which it is thought might
be floated at 4 per cent with a com
mission of 5 or 6 per cent. Another
is a loan, not guaranteed, which would
probably require an enormous com
mission and a heavy rate of interest,
some 7 per cent.
Neither of these propositions was
accepted by the president. Two weeks
ago he showed that each of the pow
ers should accept for its share of the
indemnity the bonds of China at par
and with interest at 3 per cent, pro
vision for meeting the interest and for
eventual payment being taken from
the salt duties, and increased import
taxes. Mr. Rockhill has now been in
structed to urge these views anew
upon the attention of his colleagues.
The attitude of the British govern
ment, as set forth in the recent
speeches of its representatives in par
liament, indicate that Great Britain
in moderating the demands of the
powers is inclined to accept measures
which, if adopted, may bring the ne
gotiations to a conclusion.

New Mexican Trial Ends in Fatal Shoot*
Ins: Affray.
SANTA FE, N. M., May 23—William
Park was shot and killed at Central,
Grant county, in the office of Justice
of the Peace Joseph Crowley during

at Wiley. Wiley rose, turned half
around, pulling his six-shooter as he
did so, and returned the fire. Sev
eral shots were fired by both men, as
well as others in the room. One of
the bullets entered Park's right side,
coming out of the left near the heart.

STORM CENTERS OF STRIKE.
Cincinnati and Pacific Coast Points Most
Affected by Machinists.
WASHINGTON, May 22. The
storm centers of the general strike ot
machinists throughout the country are
i:i Cincinnati, 0., and on the Pacific
coast. The number of firms that have
signed agreements was augmented to
day by about a hundred, which brings
the aggregate of the establishments
making the concessions to 1,000 in
round numbers during the past thfee
or four days. Save in one or two in
stances, as at Scranton, tho allied
trades have not yet been affected. It
is claimed at the general headquarters
of the machinists, however, that where
agreements are not effected by this af
ternoon or tomorrow many of the meii
ir. the allied trades will go out in the
individual shops where the machin
ists are already out. Tbe estimate of
President O’Connell of the National
Association of Machinists, as to the
number of strikers today remains at
5©,000 approximately, the same figure
as given yesterday. The executive
board of the association is in session
here watching the progress of the
strike. *
President O'Connell this morning
said: “The reports from all sections
are very favorable. The indications
are that the great majority of firms
will have reached agreements with the
men today or tomorrow. The dis
patches coming in from various cities
indicate that conferences will be held
today with a large number of firms.
Many men who were working yester
day went out today. The additions
made last night and this morning to
the list of strikers and the number
that will return to work this morn
ing with their demands granted will
about balance each other.”
BOUTELL’S SUFFERING ENDS.
Death Releases Former Maine Congress*
man from Suffering.
BOSTON, May 22.—Former Con
gressman James A. Boutelle of Ban
gor, Me., died today at the McLean
asylum, Waverly, where he had been
confined for a year with brain trouble.
.Death was due primarily to pneu
monia, which developed last Sunday.1
Mr. Boutelle’s daughter Grace, whoi
has been at the head of the household
since her mother’s death in 1892, was ^
at the bedside today. f
Mr. Boutelle was 62 years of age and
on his retirement from congress last
winter was placed on the retired list r
of the navy as a captain, an office to
which he was eligible by reason of
civil war and congressional committee
service. Three daughters survive.
Mr. Boutelle’s illness dates from De
cember 22, 1899, when he was seized
by a fit of unconsciousness while at a
hotel in this city. He was carried to
his room and later became delirious.
At midnight it was announced that
Mr. Boutelle was suffering from an at
tack of congestion of the brain, which
it. was hoped would be only temporary.
