PROBABLE TERMS IN CHINA.

The latest news from China makes it seem
probable that the Chinese indemnity to the
powers will be fixed at about 1897 100000. and
that China will issue bonds TO the individual
powers for the payment of 1t, the rate of inter-
est on which will be not more than per cent.
Such scheme of settlement will be much bet
ter than others which have lately been pro-
posed and urged by some of the powers The
sum is doubtless more equitable than the much
greater sums which have from time TO time
been proposed. The method of payment, too. is
particularly commendable. since it will permit
prompt evacuation of Chinese territory by the
powers and free the powers from the dangers
which would inevitably arise from prolonged
occupation and joint administration of Chinese
affairs. The manner in which China is TO raise
the money is not prescribed Perhaps that will
be left 10 China. as II might well be, within
certain limits. AT any rate, 1t is 10 be hoped
the United States contention against doubling
of the tariff rate will prevail.
The fixing of the indemnity at the sum stated,
If II shall be DONE will really be a victory for
the American policy in China This country
has contended for even a smaller sum. But.
then, other powers al first urged much larger
One and stood for conditions OF payment which
would have been practically ruinous to China
ana would nave led straight 10 the partltlOning
of that empire among land grabbing powers. 1t
was the part played by the United States which
forced upon the attention OF the powers the
question Of putting the indemnity at something
like an equitable figure and of making the terms
of payment reasonably easy instead OF need
lessly difficult That was in faithful pursuance
of the policy long ago announced. of seeking
justice. not oppression. and peace, not spolia-
ton. That the troops of the powers are now
being withdrawn from China, instead of being
settled down there for uncounted years TO
come, is also largely because Of the example and
the initiative of the United States
The facile sneer that the United States has
accepted China's own policy may be dismissed
with complacency. 1t was heard months ago,
when this Government accepted as genuine the
dispatch from its own minister at Peking which
had been transmitted through Chinese channels.
We are not afraid that history will record that
in the strenuous occurrences of last summer the
United States was duped by China. as its critics
were then fond of saying Neither IS this
country 10 be condemned for adhering faithfully
10 the policy which II then enunciated OF restor-
ing peace and order. of exacting due reparation
for wrongs inflicted upon IL, OF getting assur-
ance against further wrongs and of keeping
open the doors OF China TO the commerce of the
world. If in the fulflment Of that policy the
United States wins the gratitude of those in
China who are most enlightened, or runs coun-
ter 10 those who would spoliate and partition
that empire for selfish ends. II can afford TO
bear whatever reprOach may thus be incurred

MR. ROCKEFELLER'S NEW

Mr. ROCKEFELLER'S NEW ENDOWMENT
The establishment of the Rockefeller Medical
Institute, which is described in The Tribune's
news columns to-day, is likely to interest the
medical profession at this time more than the
general public. Yet 1t is an event which ought
to have, and, if the plans of its founder and
his advisers are realized, will have far reach
ing effect on medical science, and hence on the
people for whose benefit medical science exists
1t is Mr.. Rockefeller's purpose to set on foot
systematic research work that shall have for
its immediate object the ascertainment of new
facts bearing on the causes of diseases and the
methods of their prevention and cure. He has
placed a generous sum at the disposal of q
number of men eminent in pathological research
TO enable them to direct and carry on original
investigation. They have decided to begin it.
very sensibly, not by starting a new laboratory
of their own, but with the cooperation of the
authorities in a number of the leading medical
schools. concentrating the attention of their
workers in the same field.
The advantages of work done under such
auspices are obvious. Whether carried on as
now proposed or in a future home of its own
1t is in effect n release of trained scientific
intelligence from the harassing and Imperative
duties of medical practice of teaching to
eXpend it, with the help of the best technical
resources that can be supplied, upon the solu-
tion of definite problems. Such work cannot be
undertaken without an endowment because it
is not Immediately productive of living to
those engaged in it, Millions of money have
been given TO the maintenance of astronomical
Observatorles whose results are of purely alb
stract scientific value: How much more impOr-
tant. say the friends of pathological research, is
ii to endow an institution that shall attempt to
reach results Immediately applicable by the
whole scientific world TO the amelioraton and
prevention of human sickness and suffering.
Yet such institutions are exceedingly few. The
great discoveries that have marked the advance
of modern medical science have been made by
duties, whose purely scientific work would have
been facilitated by exemption from them.
The new institution is TO be wisely and con-
servatively managed 1t begins its operations
without flourish of trumpets and in an UMPIRE
tentious way. 1t spends its funds in directions
that seem TO offer the best prospects of imme-
date results. Nobody can promise sensational
discoveries OF mOmentOus value at any particu-
lar time. The directors of the Rockefeller foun-
dation may hope for them but they intend now
to attack certain definite problems pressing for
solution, and let fame come TO their new estab-
lshment when 1t has it. They may at
some future time their work grow to be
great landmark in medical science. like that of
the Pasteur Institute in Paris. But they
scientific men. working in the scientific spirit;
and that spirit is not concerned with impressing

ANTI-IuPERI4L CANDOP.

4 fair specimen of what can only be called
the persistent and purposeful wrongheadedness
OF a small class of vindlctive opponents of
expansion is furnished by the reported COM
ment on the insular decision by Mr.. Edward
Atkinson, of Boston. When asked for his opinion
he said. according to press dispatches:
You may say that I trust a cordial welcome
will be extended to fellow citizens OF the
Spanish. Malay. Tagal and Chinese races.
Much is TO be pardoned to the disappointment
OF an earnest partisan. II Mr. Atkinson con
tented himself with railing at the Supreme
Court and charging that the judges were dis
honest, or relieved his feelings by calling Presi-
dent Mckinley murderer" traitor "assas-
SIM" or hurllng Mr. William Lloyd Garrison's
vituperatve poems AZ his head, the disorder
could be set down as a case of nerves which
would probably yield to asafptda or valerian.
But when n man Of education and intelligence.
a vaunted exponent Of high morals In politics,
fatty shows that he is unable 10 recognize plain
truth unable 10 tell II he dcprives his utter
ances OF all claim 10 the consideration or
respect of reasonable and candid men. Mr.
Atkinson has presumed to discuss publicly the
question of imperialism and to put himself
forward a leader TO truth seekers. He has
objected 10 receiving Tagals and Chinese as
fellow citizens. Now, when the Supreme Court
decides that the new possessions can be gov
erned by Congress without bringing them
within the scope of the constitution, he sends
the sneering welcome to the Spanish, Malay,
Tagal and Chinese races as fellow citizens.
believing or processing to believe, that they are
made by that decision
Either Mr.. Atkinson knows that this is not
the fact or he is ignorant OF the whole bear
ing of the decision that he has no business to
talk about it, If he should express regret that
the Supreme Court had opened the door TO
colonies whereas he wished that all men under
American sovereignty should be citizens, he
would be n consistent advocate of the doctrine
that the constitution follows the flag. When
he interprets the decision one calling for n
welcome TO 'our fellow citizens of the Spanish
Malay, Tagal and Chinese races" he perverts It's
meaning f1agrantly and ineXcusably. If the
grail part of our country. subject to the Consti-
tuition there might have been some point in
that bitter gibe since such a finding would
have meant that these peoples were indeed our
fellow citizens. But it is the antl-imperalsts
who have been trying TO make them our fellow
citizens, while the administration has been seek
ing to discharge our trust to them without so
introducing them into our domestic body polite.
Mr. Atkinson's misrepresentation of the result
as the precipitation upon the country Of this
evil OF barbarian partnership, instead of the
avoidance OF ii, is n fine specimen of his candor.

hood of Forty -second-st. The purpose of rapid
transit, however, is TO make traffic speedy and
comfortable within the city, and not FOR one
borough alone. Therefore a single line making
possible a trip from Harlem 10 Brooklyn with
out change, and incidentally offering easy access
TO the two railroad stations in the metropolis, is
on all accounts the most generally adyanta-
geous. Doubtless the Brooklyn tunnel will be
extended in due time. possibly by more than
one branch so that the outlying sections of that
borough may be brought in close connection
with the rest of the city. The first step has
wisely been taken 70 a point offering the
greatest convenience to the greatest number
consistent with the amount of work it is at
present possible TO undertake. Now that the
Mayors signature has been secured, it would
be gratifying if property owners could be
induced to come forward Immediately and give
their consents, and so promote speedy letting
of the contract. instead of forcing a long court
proceeding in lieu of consents. which would
merely delay and not prevent the construction.

have acted promptly and effectively. The de-
moralizing game has been stopped.
We apprehend that there will be those who
will speak lightly even scofingly, of this
achievement by the police. You cannot please
everybod But far be it from us to join in such
sentiment. 1t is true that there are other forms
OF gambling more widely dffused, as it were,
than this puppet game, and perhaps more de-
moralizing. But give the police time. Prob
ably, being unused to the effort, they felt the
necessity of practising on something before en-
tering upon more extended campaign. From
puppets they will probably rise to those who
give canes to skilful persons who toss rings over
the cane heads This is another horrible form
of vice. With the police raiding puppet games
and Inspector Thompson waxing indignant over
the vile soda water places" surely the public
should not complain
New-York tribune., 1901-06-02
THE TTyYEL APpPOTFD

The opponents Of the Brooklyn extension Of
the rapid transit tunnel made a ridiculously
poor showing yesterday before the Mayor and
the latter treated them as they deserved when
after listening patiently 10 their maundering
charges and complaints, he signed the ordi-
nance right in their presence. There never
was any reason for the opposition. A few
spectators, few cranks and a few respectable
persons tinged with semi-socialstc 1eanings
were against the plan proposed by the Rapid
Transit Commissioners. Some Just could not
help grumbling about any public enterprise
which did not put them at the centre Of the
stage. Others were angry and disappointed
that the commission did not divert plan for
the convenience Of existing traffic to the boom
Ing Of vacant lots in a particular section Still
others were so keen OF appetite for octopus
hunting that the idea that any contractor should
make any money in building the tunnel or any
corporation should share with the public in its
benefits was enough TO set them at the chase in
fun cry. When brought to the test no one of
them all had anything in the way OF objection
TO offer beyond ignorant misstatements, indefi-
mite rumors and libellOus insinuations against
honorable men, like President Orr and his fell
low commissioners who have served the city
well and have its thorough confidence
In reply 10 the objections Mr.. Orr Mr. Coler
and Mr.. Shepard convincingly demonstrated
the usefulness Of the extension as planned. the
advantages Of the contract proposed and the
propriety Of the Manhattan tunnel arrange
ment which appears 10 be one Of the objects
OF this belated attack. 1t seems TO be impos-
sible for the critics Of the Mcdonald contract
ever 10 get it through their heads that the con-
tractor and not the city is TO pay for the tunnel
while the city is 10 own IL, and that the city
merely uses its credit TO borrow the money for
the contractor, the interest and principal of
which he must pay. When the plan was devised
II was universally considered TO be highly
advantageous 10 the city, and many doubted the
Willingness OF any financier TO undertake the
oDngauon imposed Now that the work bids
fair TO be successful. the small minded begin TO
suggest that the contractor may make some
money. and that harder terms should have been
e2aeted To such carping we are glad 10 see
Mr.. Orr makes the straightforward answer:
"Mr. Mcdonald says he expects 10 make a sub
"stantial profit. and ] sincerely hope he will
because he came forward in a manly way and
took this contract when many other men
-sneered at it and would not touch it,"
through interborough system like that
which The Rapid Transit Commission has
planned is much better than an extension Of
the Long Island Railroad TO a Manhattan ter
minal. Such a tunnel as il proposed would
have served the railroads purposes admirably
and the convenience OF people coming TO the
business section of Manhattan from out on
Long Island. So the Grand Central Station
serves the convenience of those who wish TO
iand from Westchester County in the neighbor
