sufferers Is causing much bitter complaint.
The distribution OF II is hedged about with
so many restrictions and the applications
for relief have to pass through so many
hards and they have TO submit TO 50 many
fnterrogations that imply that they are at
tempting to get something they are not en-
titled to. that it has aroused mach indigna-

Many of the sufferers who have fled ap-
pIications for relief openly charge that The
fund is being squandered in paying the
salaries Of the relief committeeman Of the

most universal that these committees seem
to act upon the principle that everybody Is
dishonest but themselves, and that every
precaution must be taken to guard against
imposition. which has and is causing much
distress among the unfortunate victims OF
the storm.

COLOGNE. Nov. 10.-It- is believed here
that the allied powers have at last reach
ed a definite understanding in regard to
the programme to be pursued in dealing
with the Chinese Government This con
clusion is drawn from the statement Of
the Cologne Gazette" to that effect
The Gazette" usuall~ voices the opin-
ion of the Government. and whatever it
says on International questions is re-
garded as official.
The Gazette" outlines the policy to
be pursued in the Celestial Empire as
follows:
The allies viii supervise the punish
ment Of the Chinese officials implicated in
the Boxer outrages, and each Government
will be recouped for the expenses of it's
expedition.
Missionaries and private individuals
viii receive adequate compensation for
any injuries suffered and troops will be
kept at Pekin permanently for the pro-
lection OF the legations.
The Taku forts will be dismantled and
Pekin VIII be permanently connected with
the sea
The Gazette" does not announce in de-
tail which of the powers have agreed to
the course outlined, but it is generally
understood that majority of the allies
have agreed to the plan and are ready to
take definite and energetic action in pros
ecuting settlement of the reprisals
which have been so long delayed through
general procrastination.
America is not specifically mentioned in
the proposition and It is not known

VIII soon retire from the Cabinet Of Presi-
dent Mckinley It was so stated on the
best of authority at the headquarters Of tbs
Republican National Committee at l Madi-
son Avenue this morning.
1t was further stated that Charles C.
Dawes, the present Comptroller Of the
Currency, would succeed Mr.. Gage. as
Secretary OF the Treasurv. The
resignation Of the Secretary is not yet in
the hands OF the President, but il is ex-
peeted that It viii be but a matter Of
few weeks until he receives it. II is said
that for some time Mr.. Gage has been de-
sirous Of giving up his arduous work at the
head Of the Treasury Department and re-
turning to Chicago to look after his own
business interests. He could have returned
during the summer but he felt It better that
he stick to his post until after election.
When asked this morning to make
statement regarding the report that be
VIII soon resign from the Cabinet, Secre-
tary Gage declined absolutely 20 discuss
the matter in any way. He explained that
1t would be obviously indelicate for him
TO talk about a matter that involved the
appointment Of himself by the President
TO Federal office and he was Just as
much indisposed to take notice Of any Iu-
mors regarding a retirement before the
close OF his present term

second Administration Close friends OF
the Secretary scout the idea Of an carly
resignation, and those who have in the
past been well acquainted with Mr. Cages
plans and intentions predict that he will
still be Secretary Of the Treasury year

It is said that the President is indisposed
to make any change in the Cabinet per-
