MAY REACH SETTLEMENT.
Possible Agreement in Matter of In
IDENTITIES in China

GOSS4O46 agreement MATER OF In
IDENTITIES in China
Washington. March 21.-AnOtter and
later advice from Mr.. Rockhill, our
special commissioner at Pekin, is of
a more hopeful tone than those imme-
diately preceding, for it indicates that
the subject of indennities is being dis
cussed with an apparent disposition to
reach unanimous conclusion.
The United States proposition look
ing 10 the agreement of the powers
ON a lump sum for indemnfties. fixed
by the ability of the Chinese to pay
without destroying the government.
seems to be growing in favor. But the
difficulty is that while perhaps the ma
jOrity of the powers, even all of them,
might be induced TO adopt the prin-
ciple of thus gauging the burden to
the strength of China, they are far
from unanimous as to the method of
distribution of this money among
themselves.
schemes of valuation. have been con-
sidered at Pekin, it has not been pos
sible to secure the adoption of any
one.
without displacing the pending prop
OSitipn, the United States govern
ment has advanced another and a rad
1cal proposition. namely: to divide the
total indemnity collected-say 5000 00O.-
O60-in eight parts of which the United
states would receive one It is true
that ten powers are represented at
Pekin, but at least two of them have
no foundation for a claim for indem-
nifty
This suggestion has not been warm
ly received by those nations which
claim to have been put to very much
more expense than was the United
States through the Boxer troubles But
the answer to this has been that in
most cases the greater part of these
expenses were absolutely unneces-
Sary; that there was no occasion for
the maintenance of large military
forces in China after the fall of Pekin
and equally unnecessary We're the va
rious so-called punitive expeditions
which have been dispatched from
Pekin at short intervals ever since
that date.
