well-to-do, only we can afford to be
sassy to the railroads even then it

THE CHAMBERLAIN SUIT.
The Plaintiff n witness in the Libel
Hearing.

LONDON. March 2i.-The Kings Bench
Division of the High Court of Justice was
again crowded today on the resumption of
the hearing in the libel suits of Arthur
Chamberlain, brother of Colonial Secre-
tary Chamberlain, against the Star" and
Morning Leader" in connection with GER
tain Government contracts.
The cross-examinatiOn of Arthur Cham
berlain was continued. He said the most
important persons in the London Office
of the Kynochs, of Birmingham, of which
he is manager, were Mr.. Cullen, the
manager. and Mr.. Cooking, the managing
director. The witness said he generally
supervised everything.
Replying to question put by Mr..
Rufus Isaacs, Mr.. Chamberlain stated
that he had consulted his brother Joseph
before bringing the present action. He
had been told by the latter that the
highest authorities had advised him
Doseph) that he had no case against the
papers. Arthur Chamberlain said he had
not objected to the statement that the
charges of the Kynochs Company were
| too high, but he objected to the allegation
that they had received preferential treat
| ment because that implied improper rela-
tons.
Mr. Isaacs succeeded in proving that in
some cases where the kynochs' prices
were higher than those of other bidders
they had been allowed to reduce their
tenders. That being an unusual proceed
| ing, he asked Mr.. Chamberlain TO say
generally what he considered defamat3ry
in the stars assertions.
Mr. Chamberlain said he recalled enc
article headed "Cordite scandal which
declared that the Kynochs were mere
middlemen in getting cordlte from No
bells, who paid them commission FOR
their influence with the War Office. and
that consequently the public had to pay
two prices. Mr.. Chamberlain said this
was a gross Misrepresentation of the facts
to which he took exception in the strong
est manner
Another paragraph in the paper TO
which Mr.. Chamberlain said o. objected,
suggested bribery and corruption on his
part. He objected to that also

Colonel Sanger Issues a Statement
Regarding His Appointment.

Col. William Cary Sanger the new As
sistant Secretary of War, yesterday is
sued a statement, in which he emphati-
cllly denied the declaration of Senator
Platt to the effect that Colonel Sanger
had. in consideration of the withdrawal
of the opposition of the New York Sena-
tors to his appointment. consented to act
as good machine Republican" Senator
Platts intimation was in effect that Colo
mel Sanger had ceased his antagonism to
Platts dictatorship in New York politics
and had agreed to henceforth act as
machine man.
Colonel Sanger's opposition to Senator
Platt has been well known for a long
time, and found its most pronounced eN-
preston when ne persistently refused to
vote for him in the Legislature for Sen
ator. Colonel Sanger's statement shows
that he has in no way compromised with
Platt and, in a graceful manner. en-
phaZises the fact that his appointment
was made despite the objections Of the
New York Senators, and that no promises
We're made to them to follow any line OF
action by reason of their agreement not
to oppose his nomination in the Senate.
Colonel Sangers statement issued yes
terday afternoon is as follows;

ing made no pledge. promise, or state

If there were any genuine American
statocraft in the brains Of the present
Administration. it would not be many
hours before Lord Salisbury had received
a most courteous but irrevoclble notice
that the United States considers ana
will treat the Clayton-Bulwer Conven-
ton as dead and buried, and that the in
cident must be held as entirely closed
and not susceptible Of further discussion
Possibly there are AnElophiles among
us who will say that it would be immoral
and unCenerous for this country to take
advantage of Britains adversely. and to
force her to consent to the cancellation
of a crime and humbug which she has
been shaking over our heads in Central
America for more than half century. II

them that the vital provision of the
Clayton-Bulwer Convention as ratified by
the United States Senate was deliberate

creating of the Crown Colony of British
Honduras, in territory which the BRUSH
and we had mutually covenanted never to
enter occupy. settle, or pretend TO any 40
minion in whatever. In 1862 We were ut
war. and our affectionate relatives across
the atlantic hoped and expected that the
Union would be split in pieces in conse-
quence. We were preoccupied in the
Southern States rs Great Britain is to-
day preoccupied in South Africa. But our
temporary inability to resist aggression
or to resent affront did not appeal to the
British Government as any reason why it
should not take advantage OF us. Lord
Palmerston and his coadjutors were gov
erncd by anything rather than ssnti-
mental considerations when they defied
the stipuIations Of the Clayton Bulwer
Convention and extended British soyer-
eighty into Central America.
Why should we be any more squeamish?
Now is our chance to remind Great
Britain OF that and other acts of perfidy
and overreaching. Mr.. Mckinley should
lose no time whatever in notifying the
British Foreign Office that We hold our
hands utterly free on the Isthmus, and
that the American territory in Alaska
which was seized and is held by the Brit
ish forces must be returned to this coun-

OUR CLAIMS AGAINST CHINA.
A Basis for Indemnity Submitted to
Secretary Hay.

At the request of Secretary Hay a state
ment of the cost of transporting Ameri-
can forces to and from China and their
maintenance in that country has been
submitted to him by the Secretaries of
War and the Navy to enable him to de-
termine the amount OF pecuniary in
demnity to be demanded from China on
account OF the recent troubles. For the
same purpose statements have been sub
mitted to Mr.. Hay of the number of OIL
GERS and men of the American forces kill
ed and wounded. it being the intention to
compel China to pay for these losses. the
money probably to be given to the fami-
lies of the killed and to the men incapaci-
tated by their wounds from active service.
The cost to the United States of the
transportation and maintenance of troops
and the participation Of warships in the
Chinese troubles was more than five mil
lion dollars. The exact figures are not
obtainable, it being deemed inadvisable
to make them public. The casualties
numbered 100 killed and 25i wounded, di-
vided as follows: Army 95 killed and IL
wounded; Navy and Marine Corps. . kill
ed and u wounded. No decision has been
reached as to the amount to be asked
from China for each man killed or
wounded.
In addition to the amounts to be de-
nanded on account of the army and navy,
there will be demands for indemnity for
the massacre of American citizens prin-
cipally missionaries and their families, by
the Chinese. and the destruction of the
American Legation in Pekin and other
American property. a rough estimate Of
the aggregate of the American claims
placed it at S25,O0O, 600. This will include
what are called national indemnities or
damages for the affront given to the
United States by the assaults of imperial
troops on United States officials and those
in their care.
Senator Morgan has submitted a novel
proposition to the Secretary of State,
which has the double purpose of settling
the Manchurian question and enabling
Chin" to meet the demands of the Powers
His suggestion is that the Powers con-
sent to the purchase of Manchuria by
Russia. and that with the proceeds China
liquidate the claims to the other nations
concerned. The price that would be OBJ
tained would be sufficient. Senator Nor
gan believes, to leave "A surplus with
which China could institute reforms de-
manded by the Powers.
From what was said by Government
officials yesterday it is not likely that the
proposition will be adopted. the indica-
tons being that the United States is OPP
posed to the partition of China in any
way. Senator Morgan is in favor OF let
ting The Hague Arbitration Tribunal de-
termine the indemnity question as sug-
sested by President Mckinley.
