The first Installment of the Indemnity, which wa due July 1 laat, wa likewise paid on a silver basis, the nations receiving the money reserving the right to reclaim the difference between the silver and gold hail. Therefore tomorrow the department will have placed to It credit $486,093, tor it ha decided without hesitation to accept the payment on the basis proposed.' Borne Idea of the extra charge that would be Imposed on China did It yield to the almost general demand of the powers for the payment of these demands on a gold baala may be gathered from the fact that whereas the Chines tael, which was the bast of the calculation of the Indebted ness, was worth 74 cents at the time the agreement wa signed la Peklo, It 1 aow worth only CI cent. - The Impression prevail here among per son who have taken part In these settle ment that the indemnities demanded by the power are far beyond China' ability. It may for a year er two borrow enough money from various International source to pay the Installment a falling due every Is month, but In a short tlm the power will have to eotn to a readjustment of the whole Indtbtednes. either by submit ting the case to arbitration at The Hague, which China ardently desires, or by a mu tual agreement between the creditor na tions.
