IlEItLIN, May 15. Ofllclals here, discuss
ing the answer of the Chinese peace com
missioners, say the fact of prime signifi
cance therein Is that tho commissioners
agree to the Indemnities as demanded, ami
tho withdrawal of tho troops can now
proceed forthwith, but that not all the for
eign forces will be withdrawn at once.
The Chinese proposition to raise the Im
port and export duties will probably bo
accepted, since the only other possibility
of Increasing Chinese revenues is the re
form of the liken duties, which tho powers
particularly wl3h to avoid, because it would
require too much mixing In tho International
affairs of China. Further, International
control over th'i customs will b unneces
sary, beyond Sir Robert Hart's.
The prolongation of the payments to
thirty years will probably be accepted.
Germany appears favorably disposed
thereto. Tho request for a reduction of th
Indemnities will still be discussed by the
ministers at Pekln, who must flrst get tho
Instructions' of their governments. It is
anticipated here that other nations will
in alo stronger objections to a reduction
than Germany,-which appeart.. to b willing
to reduce the amount It it is seen China Is
unable to pay all.

GALVESTON, Tex., May 15.-Owlng to
the discussion In the house of representa
tives of the Texas legislature, recontly ad
journed, lit regard to the Galveston relief
fund, the following statement has been
prepared by tho Galveston News. The total
cash received from all sources at Galveston
was $1,213,495; disbursements, $1,234,63!.
leaving u balance of tS.Sofl. Some claims
ufc outstanding against the fund nnd several
suits nrc ponding for adjudication which
will nbout offset the balance. Chairman
McVlttle of the relief commute reports the
expenditure of $132,133. Of this nmount
$77,783 was for supplies purchased by the
committee.
Tho valuation cf contributions of gto
cerlcs, provisions, etc., sent to the commit
tee was placed at $250,000. Tho relief com
mittee sold $,"8,124 worth of supplies, con
sisting of perishable goods and disinfect
ants. The relief committee, which was n
sub-committee of the central committee,
had charge of the distribution of provis
ions and clothing nnd was In charge of the
commissioners. All funds received hy tho
committee were turned over to Chairman
John Scaly of the finance committee aud
treasurer of tho ccn'rnl committee.
Prepni ed for' the lu'ivlfttittiire.
The state legislature sent n special Joint
commlttco to the storm district In March
to report on conditions of the people In the
district nnd to Investigate tho method and
manner of distribution of relief funds re
ceived by various commutes In said sec
tion. The figures presented above were
prepared oftlclally for this legislative com
mlttec. Shortly beforo adjournment of the
legislature the report of tho Joint commit
tee was made public. Referring to Galveston
and the work of the building committee the
report says:
"It seems that a great number of relief
housts were placed on the land of wcll-to-dj
people, who were to receive rents from the
people occupying them.'
The committee also incorporated in Its
leport thestatement that from $15,000 to
$20,000 wns appropriated by tho relief com
niilteo to fill up certain places nnd dis
tricts with sand and that such' filling wns
made to benefit the property of various
members of said committee."
The statement further says: "It Is n
fact well known to the governor of the
state of Texas and to all parties who havo
given Galveston relief work any considera
tion that the distribution of the fund sent
to Gnlveston was In tho hands of ns strong
and reliable a set of men ns could be mus
tered anywhere In the state of Texas.
HoineM for the Poor.
"The building commlttco was a subcom
mlttco from the central committee. Tho
central committee appropriated from the
general fund $130,000 for building homes
for deserving poor who lost their homes by
the storm nnd also for repairing dwellings
dnmaged by the storm. The building com
mlttec began to close up Its work on May I
and Its final report Is now In course of
preparation. Houses to the number of 572
havo been constructed, ranging In valuo
from $305 to $45;i opicc?,
"The facts Jn regard to the legislative
committers report are these- In a few-
cases property owners not only had their
homes washed away, but their lots being
cloao to the gulf v.ero partly washed away
nnd loft partially or wholly In the gulf
after the storm. New residences could not
be erected on such lots. The building com
mtttce gave such sufferers the right to pur
chaso anew or lease a lot. The number of
leaser, wns small. Not ono dollar of the
relief fund was used In filling any property
except 4ho public strcetsand alleys."
