Nov. n h was fttnt. ed in quarters well versed in Chinese a Hails that outside of the questions of Indemnity, punishments, etc., now un der negotiation at Pekin, there are throe vital and far n u lling question* to lie determinted, viz. First, the re moval of the cmpros* dowager, pci son ally and through .he Influence of her advisers, from all participation in the Chinese goveininent; second, the cre ation of an Indemnity fund by the In crease of China's customs revenue, either by the payment of duties In gold instead of depreciated silver, as at present, or else by doubling the pres ent silver dutlcfc from fi per cent to 10 per cent ad valorem; third, the estab lishment of a minister of foreign af fnirs In place of the old and cumber some system of the tsuug li yamen. The demand for the retirement of the empress dowager is said to result from tlie conclusion now generally ac cepted. that the iin|m*rial government of China wa.; responsible for the Boxer uprising. As the empress dowager was the ruling authority of the impe rial government dming the uprising this responsibility is brought home di rectly to her. There is understood t> be no purpose, however, to visit upon her any personal punishment or indig nity, but merely to so form the recon structed government as to exclude her from all participation in it. It is deemed advisable for that reason that she should remain permanently away from Pekin, and that her advisers also should lie kept away frjm the seal of government i ne plan oi iioiiuiing < lima s cus toms duties has arisen from tho need of finding a source to pay war indem nities which the various popwera de mand. It appears, however, that the increase of the duties has heretofore been brought to the attention of tho United States government by Id Hung Chang. 'Phis occurred during bis visit to Washington a few years ago, when it wus represented that the 5 per cent was fixed in 1858 by treaties with the United States. Great Urtialn and other countries and was payable in silver, at which time silver was worth as much as gold. Hut with the change in value between silver and gold, Id Hung Chang points out that China’s 5 per cent duty in silver actually netted only about 2V1t per cent, judged by the pre vailing gold standard. The matter was not pressed at the time, China's present customs revenues are said to be already pledged to meet the Interest and principal of Chinese loans, so that it will require some en tirely new source to meet the indemni ties. In case the enlarged duties are determined upon, it is understood that their colleetion will be placed under supervision of representatives of the powers, at least until the Indemnities are paid. The plan of substituting a minister of foreign affairs In place of the tsung II yamen lias long been in contemplation, hh foreign representa tives have found it very difficult to deal with this mixed body and to lo cate responsibility upon it. particularly during the Uoxer troubles.

The hank* funds are kept In a large Mosler safe and this was evidently too formid able looking for the craeMmen, as it was not molested. The explosion of the wrecked safe was a terrffle one and wakened several people. L. A. Hates, living a block away, ran down art alley and wan on the scene In a few seconds. Three men were standing at the rear of the building, lie was unarmed, and while he went for assistance the rob bers escaped. The Beatrice bloodhounds arrived at noon and getting the trail, led the way to Gretna. Three tough harking characters headed from this direction arrived at Gretna bespattered with mud and ap pearing worn out from a long run. They attempted to catch a train out of that town, but failed end walked down the track toward Chaleo. The dogs did not hesitate a minute in Gretna, but went straight toward Chal eo. The only damage resulting to the bank was the wrecking of the safe doof and a line typewriter, which wan smashed bv the sleel facing of the door, which was blown across the room where It knocked a window casing Into splinters. The living steel also broke a knob off the door of the large Mosler safe.
