JAPAN GETS MORE INDEMNITY.
China VIII Pay Her 100000 900 Taels *
Evacuate LiAu-Tong.

China VIII Pay Her 100000 Taels TO
Evacuate Liau-Tong.
Washington, Nov. 12-The State De-
partment is informed that the Japanese
Minister has received a cable despatch
from his government stating that DON
vention has been signed at Picking for
payment Of additional indemnity for the
evacuation by japan Of the Liau-Tong
PENINSULA The amount Of the in
indemnity Is 10000, 900 taels, and it's pay
ment is to be made on November 16.
1t Is understood that the evacuation
Will take place on January / next. The
treaty was negotiated by the Japanese
Minister at Picking, Mr.. Hayashi, and
the Tsung-Li-Yamen. the latter being
the Emperor's council. It Is not unlikely
that Lo Hung Chang, who represents
China in the preparation of the treaty
Of peace at Simonosek last spring, was
consulted with respect to the treaty in
asmuch as he has been at Picking during
the major part of the period while ne
gotiations were in progress.
Full details of the supplemental treaty
have not yet been received here. It Is
doubted, however, whether the Chinese
Government, as asserted in some des-
patches. has pledged itself not to cede
the Peninsula to any other nation. It Is
pointed out by well-posted diplomats
that Japan Is not In q position to demand
this concession. Even If China had con-
sented to such stipulation, 1t Is pointed
out that 1t would not be long respected.
The known desire Of Russia to extend
her Siberian transcontinental railway to
Port Arthur, which lies at the southern
extremity Of the Peninsula, is alone con-
sidered a sufficient barrier to the per-
manency of such a treaty.

The Regiments Future In the Hands Of
Irish-Americans.
New York, Nov. 13.-Brigadier-Gen-
eral Louis Fitzgerald threw a bombshell
yesterday into the ranks of those who
have been prophesying that the Sixty
ninth Regiment would be Americanized
and that the Irish in it would leave it by
announcing the appointment of a COM
mittee of well-known Americans
into whose hands would practically be
placed the future of the regiment.
This committee consists Of the Hon. J,
]. O'Donohue, Judge DAILY, Judge Fitz-
gerald, Recorder Golf, ex-Commissioner
Coleman, ex-Mayor w. R. Grace and
General O'Beirne. The appointment Of
this committee will do much to quiet the
mutterings Of discomfort which have
been growing louder ever since the cleo
ton of Lieutenant-Colon George
Moore Smith, of the Seventh, to the COM
mand of the Sixty-ninth. It has been
freely stated in many quarters that
there was to be an end put to the Irish
character of the regiment and that out
siders would be brought in to take the
places now vacant among the line Off

Bill to Secure More Liberal and Digni-
fed Treatment for Federal Courts.
Buffalo, Nov. 13.-Assistant United
States District Attorney Samuel W.
WEIGH. Jr., is engaged in the preparation
of bill designed to secure adequate pro-
visions for the conduct of United States
district courts in dignified manner be-
lifting National tribunals. The measure,
which is being prepared at the instance of
Judge Coke, of the United States Court of
this district, will be introduced at the COM
ing session of Congress.
Judge Coke has for several years past
made particularly strong fight for some
liberal treatment of Federal courts at the
hands of Congress. At the last term Of
court at Albany he delivered a charge to
the grand jury in which he condemned the
niggardly policy of Congress, which had
failed to provide the necessary number Of
stenographers and bailiffs properly to con-
duct the business of the court, recommend
ing that Congress- take some action for
the relief of the district courts.
The bill will provide for more bailiffs and
stenographers and will change the present
system of supplying funds for the con-
duct Of the courts.
