CONSIDERED TOO SMALL IN PARIS
AMERICAN INDEMNITY PROPOSITION EX
CITES NO ENTHUSIASM THERE.

Paris, April 15.-The correspondent here of
The Associated Press is informed from trust
worthy source that the outlook for early set
tlement Of the Chinese indemnity question is
less promising than week ago. The negotia-
tions between the powers bringing out con-
ficting ideas and interests. and likely TO be
very protracted. The proposition of the United
States to limit the total indemnity to S2O0OOO
600 is the only one under discussion. and is not
regarded with favor by more than one govern
ment. who consider the too small, and who
are disinclined reduce their claims to the
ton dispatch. published in London. affirming that
the United States proposes that the indemnity
be divided between the powers in proportion
to the number of troops which participated in
the actual relief OF the legations at Peking
is regarded incorrect. No such proposal has
siders that the entire expense incurred re-
suit Of the whole operations carried out must
be taken the basis for indemnity. 1t is be-
lieved that the claims of individuals will be first
presented and paid This matter Will be ex-
pedited much possible in order to allow an
early resumption of commerce and work on
other foreign enterprises.
Nothing is known here of the reported inten-
tion of the Emperor TO return TO Peking with
out the Dowager Empress and no faith is placed
here in the reported hostility between Russia
and Japan. French information indicates that
conciliatory negotiations are proceeding between
those countries. with the prospect Of
thorough understanding regarding the position
Of both toward Manchura and Corea.

Only a Mask.

Many are not being benefited by the
summer vacation as they should be.
Now, Notwithstanding much outdoor
life, they are little if any stronger than
they were. The tan on their faces is
darker and makes them look healthier,
but it is only mask. They are still
nervous, easily tired, upse5 by trifies,
and they do not eat nor sleep well.
What they need is what tones the
nerves, perfects digestion, creates appe-
tite, and makes sleep refreshing, and
that is Hoods Sarsaparilla. Pupils and
teachers generally will find the chief
puspOse of the vacation best subserved
by this great medicine which. as we
know, Guilds up the whole system"
