New York. June IA special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Special Commissioner Rockhill has ca
bled the state department that four OF the
powers have not accepted 45OOOO,OOO taels
1887 ,WO.OOO) as the lump sum to be de-
manded of China. These powers are Rus
STA, Germany, France and Great Britain.
Diplomats accredited to this government
assert there is no necessity for formal ac
ceptance by the powers of the limit Of
45O, 900 900 taels.
They point out that each power present
ed its claim for damages; that these were
Jumped together, and that the aggregate
was the limit of the demand accepted by
the Chinese ENJOYS. Consequently there is
no necessity for further discussion of this
point. Rejecting the views of their gov
ernments, these gentlemen express doubt
that the American proposal for the refer
ence of the indemnity question to The
Hague would be adopted.

Profits Divided.

Chicago, June l7.--Checks for approx
mately $l,OOOOO0 were sent out by the
George H. Phillips company to points from
Maine to Mexico. The disbursement was
in the nature of dividend on the ceie-
brated May corn deal. the pool account
having been written up to 4S cents, this
being the average price when the leader
of the campaign has been able to figure
out up to this time.
The checks go out to about 800 individ-
uals, who had an interest in the pool of
about l5,OOO,O0O bushels of corn. The low
est man ''got in" at 80 10 cents. The
average profit SO far demonstrated is 8
cents per bushel. This may be increased
when the cash corn now on hand in va
rious positions is disposed of, or there may
be no further profit. 1t will depend en-
tirely on the state of the market when the
cash corn is sold. The largest individual
interest in the pool was $4,000 bushels
and the smallest 5000 bushels.

Everything will be in shape in

The Wauconda mine Is looking we'll.
The 20 foot Of ledge on the footwall
side Is solid quartz and is of good mill
ing grade.
Superintendent George L. Hedges of
the Wauconda company has received
instructions to let a contract for lum.
Der for the compressor plant.
Systematic development is being
done at the new placer fields by three
concerns. In addition there are many
small holes on the low and the high
bars, but they do not appear to have
offered inducements sufficient for the
locators to open them. 1t is possible
this IL due to the great expense in con.
structing bitches ana fumes. Three
men are working on the discovery.
They have done small amount of
ground sluicing ON the low bar, where
the discovery was made. They are now
engaged in cleaning up the bedrock by
shoveling into the sluices. They are
handicapped by having but little OF
water. This makes 1t impossible to
move much earth. There are a great
number Of boulders that weigh from
200 to 500 pounds each. The owners
said they were doing we'll, but gave no
figures.

New York, June 1.-THE Financier
says:
Large syndicate operations are reflected
in the bank statement of June d. The
excess reserve was again heavily de-
creased and stands at S. S2. l25. compared
with S2l.2S0oW on May p, loss of over
Sl2,OO0.ooO in three weeks. In this period
the loans of the bank have risen not less
than So .Oo0,oD and deposits S44 900 900
while the amount of the cash on hand j.
about Sl,1oo.GUO less than on the former
date. 1t appears. therefore, that the banks
are not losing much particularly. but that
the increasing liabilities are tying up a
large amount of otherwise idle money in
the former reserves against deposits.
This is worthy of mention only in the
sense that the large operations noted are
of more or less temporary character
and their consummation may set free
quite an amount of available funds in the
near future. The July dividend period is
largely being arranged for and will exert
an influence in the market soon. The
particular features which are shown in the
current statement are traceable to the
Pennsylvania steel purchase and kindred
deals, and the loss of one and half mil
lions in cash is due to movements of
money in the direction of Philadelphia,
which were heavy during the bank week,
and to operations with the subtreasury
at New York.

Prevent His EocapA
One Of the hitherto unpublished ex-
tracts from DR.. O'Meara's ST. Helena

records Napoleon's views on the pre-
cautions taken to prevent his escape.
He spoke anew about escaping, and
said that If he was inclined to try it.

Ascot meeting this week promises to be
quite the function Of the year, despite lie
absence Of the royal procession and the
curious sight OF the royal stand draped

all persons entering the royal enclosure
shall be dressed in mourning, though girls
will be permitted to wear white. Even un-
der these restrictions the applications for
admission to the enclosure have already
far exceeded the available space.

THE HAGUE arbitration NET
HAS ONLY BEEN ORGANIZED.
Last Of the Judges AppOintcd-SeV-
eral international Questions Are
Up Already-NOt in Permanent Ses-

Berlin, June If. w. Hollis.
United States member Of The Hague
arbitration court, during an interview
informed the correspondent Of the
Associated Press that The Hague ar
bitration court has only just been
organized by the appointment of the
last of the IS judges. but several in
ternational questions are already be-
fore the court. The Transvaal ques-
ton was certainly not one Of these,
because The Hague peace conference
has decided that the Boer states were
not sovereign states. The court will
not be in permanent session. but will
only act when suitable questions are
presented to it, when the whole court
will select bench to adjudicate each
question.
Mr.. Hollis said both Count Won
Buelow and Baron Won Richthofen,
the foreign minister, had received
him in the most kindly manner, shar.
ing his belief that The Hague court
was like the Magma Charta, an gree
ment around which the future inter-
national law will crystalline. Mr.. Hollis
believes the emperor. the German gov
eminent and the German people are
now sincerely in favor of The Hague
arbitration court on all questions
which seem to properly belong there.
Mr.. Hollis thinks this is all the more
remarkable because Germany, during
the conference of 1899, hal at first
q number of serious weighty objec-
tions to urge against arbitration. But
she has now honestly altered her
opinion.
During the week the two questions
which mainly occupied public atten-
ton were the discussions in the Ital-
ian chamber of deputies relative to
the dreibund and Great Britains at
titude toward the question of Germany
maintaining a garrison at Shanghai.
The press expressed an opinion that
Signor Prettini, the Italian minister
Of foreign affairs, can not be relied
upon by the other powers forming the
dreibund, although the newspapers in
cline to the belief that after Fridays
proceedings the continuation of the
dreibund is assured. Government cir.
cles never held different opinion af-
ter Premier Zardini's declarations to
Count Won Buelow.

RAILROADS At PEACE NON |
WILL BE NO MORE RATE WARS.
An lrOnc1ad Agreement SiEned-Har-
riman the Directing Figure-All
Western Roads COnccrnctl-Stcnru =
ship Lines included.
Chicago, June 1.-THE Tribune


says:
Il. II. Hartman was the directing
figure in two movements begun re-
Gently which are expected to affect
every railroad running west of Chica-
go and ST. Paul. What is believed to
be the first step toward composite
agreement between the great roads
running west of these cities was per-
fected at a conference held here be-
tween Mr.. Hartman and the officials
of the companies concerned. BY it's
terms an ironclad agreement to end
rate wars and other complications is
expected to be spread over all the
roads in the northern group, includ-
ing the Northern Pacific, the Burling-
ton. the Milwaukee & st. Paul, the
Union Pacific. the Great Northern
ilnes. At the southwest the Southern
Pacific and Missouri Pacific will op-
crate hand in hand.
1t will be a community Of interests
plan and provides that the Pacific
Mail and Occidental Steamship lines,
controlled by the Southern Pacific,
shall take care Of the Santa Fe's
transpacific business. The other move
directed by Mr.. Hartman was the
practical provision for the transfer of
the Chicago. Milwaukee & St. Paul
to the Hartman syndicate and the
turning of this line into link of the
Union Pacific system.
This plan was arranged at a secret
conference held at the Auditorium An
mex. attended by many railroad men
and number of bankers.
Little doubt is entertained that the
syndicate has acquired control Of the
Milwaukee & st. Paul on practically
TIE same lines that ]. J. Hill secured
control Of the Burlington. The stock
Of the st. Paul road will be taken over
NY the Union Pacific at the October
meeting. 1t is reported that the
stockholders of the former line will
be offered 5000 Of per cent bonds
for every 500 worth Of stock, and that
the bonds will be guaranteed by the
Union Pacific, Santa Fee, Missouri Pa
cific and the Goulds, who are said to
be parties to the transaction. Ger
tain large stockholders of the st. Paul,
it is said. have sold or sell stock to
tne par value of $25,00O,0OO.
The Chicago Tribune says: That the
Hartman combine has secured control
| of the Chicago, Milwaukee & St. Paul,
and that a composite agreement has
been made to perfect community of
interests with roads having tracks
! enough to twice belt the globe, Is gen.
orally accepted in railroad circles. The
sudden departure Of Hartman for the
east, accompanied by President Mitch.
ell of the Illinois Trust & Savings
bank, was announced in support Of the
statement that Mitchell and other
bankers would furnish the funds for
the completion of the Milwaukee & st.
Paul transfer. The meeting of the
western officials with Mr.. Hartman IL
believed to have been the result Of the
recent controversy over the control OF
the Northern Pacific stock which drove
