Sir Robert Harris Plan FayornbIy
Regarded.

Pekin, April 3.-The ministers are con-
sidering proposals submitted by financial
experts for the raising of a sufficient sum
for the payment of the Chinese indem-
nifty. 1t is probable that some arrange
rnents will be arrived at on the basis OF
the scheme of Sir Robert Hart. director
of the imperial maritime customs. who
provides for handing of the salt and likin
taxes over to the maritime Gus
toms administrations and the levy
ing of an annual house tax equal to one
half months rent which is calculated
to provide 20,OOO,OO0 taels yearly, sufficient
TO pay per cent. interest on 250, 900, 900
taels and clear the whole Of the principal
in less than forty years. Two hundred
and fifty million taels is equivalent, rough
~ estimated. to $36,0OO,OOO. but the total
amount Of the indemnity is likely to be
much more.
