DIR. MORRISON EXPLAINS
 CONTENTION OF RUSSIA

London, March 21.-Dr Morrison, Wr- ing to the Times from Pekin Wednesday, says:
 '"The Russian clain to the railway sid ing at Tien Tsin is based upon the grant of a new concession made to Russia by. Ii Hung Chang since the occupation. This concession embraces a huge area in a command position with river frontage of two and half miles.
 Such a grant is scarcely compatible with the pledges of the powers as to dis interestedness and 1t Is doubtful whether Chi Ii had the right to make it. Evi- dently the Russia, s themselves have their misgivings, for, in order to strength en their position, they are bringing the greatest pressure to bear upon the Chi nese owners to yield them titles on the land.
 "The Anglo-French trouble is purely local but these incidents should open the eyes of the powers to one of the mani fold dangers of the fatuous scheme of converting the legation quarter in Pekin into an international fortress. Imagine the condition of such ft fortress with 200O troops of different naions cooped up there.
 Although no decision has yet been taken as to the strength of the differ ent legation guards Germany has al- ready nearly completed Barracks for 300 men and others are preparing to follow her eYe- nle." ttF

AMBASSADORS ARE
 MUCH CONCERNED Foreigners Call on Secretary
 Hay Regarding China RUSSIA AGREES WITH U. 5 That Country Wants To Fix the Amount of Indemnity at Sum
 That China Gan Pay and
 Avoid a Scramble.
RUSSIA AGREES WITH U. 5

Washington. March 21.-A number of foreign representatives called at the state department today, all interested in China and all keenly aroused over the passage of negotiations concerning indemnities. Among them were the British ambassa- dor, Lord Pauncefote; the Russian am- bassador. Count Cassini; the German ann bassador, Dr. Von Hollenben; the French ambassador, M. Cambon; the Japanese minister, MT. Takahira and the Belgium minister. Count Lichtervelde.
 Each had separate and rather long con- ferences with Secretary Hay. Aside from these the ambassadors and ministers gathered in groups In the ante-room lead ing to the diplomatic chamber and dis cussed with animation the progress of events in the far east.
 The Russian view as to indemnity ap- pears to coincide with that of the United States, being favorable to keeping the amount down to a sum which there Is some prospect that China can pay, in- stead of placing it so high that China s inability to pay will result in territorial scramble. All of the foreign representa- tives minimized the troubles at Tien Tsin. The idea of gross indemnity of 00,0O0,- GOO, lo be divided into eight equal parts, does not seem to meet with approval in diplomatic quarters, as 1t Is pointed out that some countries have been put to far more expense than others. especially in the matter of moving troops. It is felt by the foreign representatives that there are special considerations that will inter- fere with an equal sharing between all the powers.

London, March 22.-The Daily Chroni- cle, protesting to be able to give an out line of the negotiations between Lord Kitchener and General Botha. says:
 '"The chief obstacle to a settlement was Lord Kitchener's refusal to grant com plete amnesty to the leaders of the rebels in Cape Colony. He offered self-govern- ment on the lines of Jamaica upon the cessation of hostilites, with legislative bodies partly elected by the burghers
 "The government agreed to provide H. DOC, 900 to compensate the Boers for prop erty destroyed and articles commandered by the Boers on commando provided the signatures of the officers who comman- dered the goods were forthcoming.

 No burgher of either state was to be allowed rifle except by special license.
 General Botha was generally in favor of these conditions, but he dissented strongly from disposal to give the full privilege of citizenship to properly domi- oiled registered blacks. He also was greatly incensed about the position Jewish capitalists would occupy in the country, and was told that Jews and Christians would enjoy equal rights, no distinction being made in the matter of concessions"

REVIEW OF THE
 IRON SITUATION Long Expected Improvement in Pig Iron Has Not Yet
 Really Set In.

New York. March 21.-The Iron Age will steel trade:
 "In the east the long expected improve ment has not yet really set in, at least so far as pig iron is concerned.
 There have been round sales of Besse- mer and forge irons In the Pittsburg mar kets at the higher prices recently made, and there is evidence that very consider able quantities of basic pig have been purchased for the central west, both in the east and south.
 Since the different concerns which constitute the United States Steel Corpo- ration have been acting in harmony lately in all matters of this kind, 1t Is quite evl- dent that the scarcity of pig in the region in which they are all-powerful Is gen. eral condition, and Is not merely infu- encing one concern or one locality.
 "In the steel market the scarcity con- tinues and fancy prices are being paid for early delivery. In finished products the heavy volume of business continues, and in these lines there is considerable pressure on the mills to decrease advances in prices. In steel bars the agricultural implementmakers are feeling the market for supplies beyond July. In the sheet trade, which is unprecedented in volume. higher prices have been established, and the withdrawal of quotations on the part of the tube mills points to the probability of a further advance.
 ''The most interesting item in the struc- tural trade Is the capture of on export or der for 16,000 tons of bridgework by an outside plant. In the rail trade the plac- ing of an order for 5000 tons of girder rails by the corporation of Glasgow, Scotland with an American firm is regarded as the forerunner of the whole quantity 22,O0O tons'
