The ChltlAN INDEMNITY
Tied Up On Account Of Legal Difficulties.

W WAsnIsGrox, -. c., Dec. so. - The
s7a 900 accepted BY this government from
Chill in settlement of all damages in the
Baltimore riots iii Valparaiso are now in the
United States treasury, TO the credit of the
secretary of the navy, but, judging from
present indications, a long time will elapse
before any part of the sum is drawn for the
purpose of distribution among the claim
ants.
This probable delay is mainly due to tue
opinion of several of the governments legal
advisers that neither the secretary of the
.,ayy nor any other Federal official has
sufficient authority to disburse the funds in
i way that would fully and eifectually pro-
CT the government from the demands of
, aeh of the claimants as might be dissatis-
"a with their allotment.
Secretary Tracy has expressed grave
doubts On this subject himself and there
fore hesitates to assume the responsibility
naturally plased on him. 1t WAS at first
thought he would appoint board of naval
officers to consider all the claims on file in
connection with the Baltimore affair and to
report plan for an equitable pro rata dis
tribution of the fund. A discussion of snch
course ueNeIopeu an SORTS VI Poseipit ieSai
complications and technicalities, with the
results that it has been temporarily aban-
doned, and the secretary has practically
concluded to ask the President to refer the
natter to Congress, with the view of enact
ng special legislation which will insure the
distribution of the award in proper legal
iorm and any litigation in regard thereto to a
minimum. There are said to be no preced-
ents to guide the navy department in this
natter.

the RUSSIAN ARMY
10 State Of Olssatisfaction--T Pcrsecu-
ton Of The Moscow jcws.

ST. pkmesn,RU, Dec. 81. Numerous
arrests continue to be made NJ kiev of per-
sons suspected of nIhIlism Niue moro of
iivcrs are among those imprisoned, either
under suspicion or on direct charges of con-
neet,on with u conspiracy against the Car.
There is much discomfort in the army
with the prolonged period of peace, and
many of the officers think that the Car is
too pacific in his disposition,
II is no secret that there was bitter dis
appointment in military circles seven wears
ago. when the Car had to bring his auto
cratic authority TO bear TO prevent his gen
erals from plunging into a war viii, Great
Britain aud Afghanlstan. aud the spirit OF
impatiencc among the Russian officers has
been increasing since,
The officers do not like the work of
guarding Jews, which they look upon rs
beneath their dignity, and this also is u
cause of some discomfort among the mill
tary.
Meantime, the persecution of the Jews
goes on more earnestly than ever, the lead
ing official prosecutor being thu Grand
Duke Sergius. brother of the Gar and
husband of Queen Victoria's grand-daugh-
ter Elizabeth.
As Governor of Moscow he seems deter
mined To turn every jew out of the city.
The jewish population of Moscow has
already been reduced from about 10000
when Sergius became Governor To ABOUT
80 900, aud the number continues to de-
crease under the added rigor of the penal
laws and the intolcrable severity of their
enforcement.
The severe treatment of the jews is hav-
ing ruinous effect upon rea, estate and
other interests, at least 10000 lodgings be-
ing vacant in Moscow.

In New York on His Way to Chicago to Estab.

NEw York, Dec. 30.-According tu
American ideas of dress, the attire of the
Rev. Constantine Papayano. who landed al
Ellis Island this week, is somewhat strange
But he is a Creek, and as his clothes are
the usual garb of Greek priest, he did not
consider that he was anything except con-
vcntional. His costume consisted of long
black tunic, fastened at the waist with a
grille, huge uncouth hat and a volumiu-
Gus shawl that eucircled his neck.
Father Papayano is from Sparta, and he
has come here TO join four of his children,
who are settled in Chicago. He will 90
there and establish congregation of Greek
Catholics. His wife will follow him. He
is said to be one of the first priests of the
Greak Catholic church, which permits mar
riage, who has come to this country.
