Two POWERS nov OPPOSE.
Object to Increasing Japan's Share
of the Chinese Indemnity.
Russia Gains an Ally Against the
MikncO In the Settlement of Claims
Against China-Method of Guarnn-
teeing the Bonds Causing Delay.


Advices were received at the State De-
partment yesterday that another Power
had Joined with Russia in opposing the
efforts of the Urited States and other ma
tions to permit Japan to increase it's de-
mand for indemnity in order to cover the
reduction that would be made in the ag-
gregate claims of that country through
the necessity of selling the Chinese iu-
demnity bonds at So instead of at par.
The name of Russia's ally cannot be as
certained at the State Department. Rus
sia's attitude in the matter is said to be
the main cause of delay at Pekin in deter
mining the manner in which the Chinese
bonds shall be guaranteed.
All the nations whose credit Is good.
| including the United States. favor the di-
vision of the bonds among the several
Powers in amounts proportionate to their
demands and letting them dispose of their
bonds as they see fit. This method would
force each nation to guarantee the bonds
ii received. Russia favored an interna-
tional guarantee of all the bonds. This
would enable her to sell the bends at par.
as the nations of high financial standing
would be responsible for the payment of
the bonds given to Russia as well as
those received by themselves. Japan has
been in. favor of an International guar
antee and it is evident that Russia sus-
poets that If the Japanese indemnity is
increased that nation will join the ma
tions which advocate individual guaran-
tees.
Although Japan furnished most of the
troops that participated in the Pekin re-
lief expedition. she asked for only s2i.-
eep.co0 This amount was to cover not
only her military expenses, but all claims
for indSnnity. including that for the
murder of the Chancellor of the japanese
Legation at Pekin. When japan found
that she could not float the Chinese bonds
at more than S6. she asked the Powers,
in view of her exceedingly reasonable
demands. to permit her to increase her de-
mands so as to make up for the II per
cent loss. amounting to more than 49,
oo0.ooo. This the United States consented
to do and other Powers are in favor of
it also.
