THE CHINESE INDEMNITY.
Reports From Paris Concerning the
Amount Fixed Credited Hero.

While without any official confirmation
from Mr. ROclhiII, the Special American
Commissioner in China the State Depart
ment places the fullest confidence in the
report from Paris that the foreign neeo-
tiators at Pelzin nave agreed that the Ce-
lestiaI Government shall pay an indemni-
T. Of S275. 010001- This is SO. 0g0. 600 more
than this Government believes China is
able TO pay, and it is assumed that Mr.
Rockhin voted against fixing that hizh
figure.
The Paris report that the United States
and British representatives, declined TO
agree to an increase in the Chinese GUS
toms duties to provide means for naving
the indemnity, may be true, although il
was said here today in official circles that
this Government might agree to an in
crease in duties If the Iikin or provincial
and municipal taxes on imports were
abolished.

BERLIN. May 2-Accordins to a
despatch received from Pekin under
Yesterdays date. there has been a bat
tie between the Russian military forces
and the Chinese troops near NUkden, in
which the Celestials were practically
victorious
\ despatch says that the Russians
lost sixty killed and wounded during
the fight Four of the Russian officers
were killed and General ZeTpitsd was
among those wounded.
Although the Chinese fatalities are
not stated in the adyices from Pc+in,
it is believed here that they We're heavy
and that the CelestiaIs lost a number
of prominent officers during the en-
gagement
LONDON, May Numerous reports
have beeen received here which give
the details of constant battles between
the Russians and the Chinese in vari-
Gus parts of the Celestial Empire
In we'll informed circles here, the &C
counts of these fights are regarded as
pure invention. It is said that there is
a well defined understanding between
Russia and China and it is believed
that these stories are calculated simply
to show the alleged necessity of in
creasing the military forces Of the Car
in China.
On this basis. the despatch from Per
lin to the effect that the Russian troops
have suffered heavily in an engagement
with the Chinese at Mukden is doubted.
1t is said here that Russia's secret de-
signs regarding China require that the
army in TIE Empire shall be greatly
augmented and that the Government at
St Petersburg IS determined that it
shall be. It is believed that to accom-
plish this end the Russians viii provoke
the Chinese 10 battle and that ezaeger-
ated accounts Of the fights viii be sent

sending a much larger force into Man
churia and to other points in the CeIes-
tial Empire.

A "NEWn INDIAN POLICY.

News comes from Washington that the Secretary of the Interior and the Commissioner of Indian Affairs have re- solved to adopt new policy regarding the Indians. The plan is, according to Washington dispatch, to ''give them sn opportunity for sslf-support by fur nishing them water for irrigating their crops, then throw them on their own resources and enforce realization of the dignity of tabor and the importance of building and maintaining homes for themselves"
 For seven years the TRIBUNE has been earnestly laboring to this end, and now that it's efforts have been crowned with success, it has reason to feel jubilsnt. While member of the 18th Arizona Legislature the editor of the TRIBUNE introduced g memorial to Congress, which was unanimously adopted, in which the following para graph occurs. It is the exact policy that has just been adopted regarding the Indians, and shows that those on the ground best understand the zitua- tion It is source of congratulation to all concerned that the recommenda- tious of the Arizona Legislature have at last been listened to. The memorial reads as follows:
 "The Indians should be gathered on the reservations, have lands allotted to them in severalty, be furnished with farming implements and an inexhausti- ble supply of water for irrigation of their lands, to the end that they may become self-supporting. By this m-H ns will home life be furnished for the Iu- dian and be will more rapidly advance in civilization as a consequence He will abandon his nomadic life; his children will be kept at home and educated in neighborhood schools, in stead of being sent to large Indian schools at distance where they are kept (as it would seem) for mere pur- poses of show After being instructed in the arts of civilization for time they are returned to savagery, to be- come more unhappy and discontented than if they had never received the questionable advantages. We feel thai the present policy of the Indian de pertinent IS all wrong in this regard .''
The Florence tribune., 1901-12-07

UNDOUBTEDLY the first work in irrigation which the government should undertake is the construction of dam on the Gila River at San Carlos, in Arizona. because this im- provement would not only bring under cul- tivation large area of arid land for the use of white settlers but would also relieve the urgent needs of thousands of friendly Indians. who are now in a starving condi- tion because the water upon which they have been dependent for centuries has been diverted by white settlers above them. This improvement would be not only strik- ing object lesson of the advantage of irriga- tion on large scale. but also an act of mercy and justice.-ILos Angeles Times Editorial. Feb. 12, 1901.
The Florence tribune., 1901-12-07

IRRIGATION is the most momentous problem of the west h the east, the chief desiderstum is American ships, says the Chicago Live Stock World. In the west it is the water to build up the crops which supply the sinews of finance to the whole union. Vast areas, and by vast we mean millions of acres of western ground, are at pres ent unpFoductive because of the lack of water, yet billions of gallons of the nRurishing and productive huid are going to waste in other parts of the world. Congress owes no greater duty to itself nor to the nation than the adopting of measures solving this great problem. A hundred millions or nor spent in its proper solution would be oi general benefit, where the Nicaragua canal, us much as it nay be needed, would benefit only few.
