vices from Mr.. RoekhiA our special
commissioner at PeklMg, are of more
hopeful tone than those Immediately
preceding, for they indicate that the
subject of indemnities is being dis
cussed with an apparent disposition
to reach a unanimous decision.
The United States proposition look
ing to the agreement of the powers
upon a lumpssHm for fademnities, fx-
cd by the ability OF the Chinese to pay
without destroying the government,
seems to be growing in favor. But
the difficulty is that while theT ma
jority of the powers, even all of them,
might be induced to- accept the prtn-
ciple of thus guaging the burden to
the strength of China, they are far,
from unanimous as to the method of
distribution of this money among
themselves. ~
So far, although no less than three
schemes of valuation have been con-
sidered at Pekin8, it has not been
possible to secure the adoption of any
one.
Without displacing the pending
proposition the United States govern
ment has advanced another and rad
ical proposition, namely: ~
To divide the total indemnity col
lected-say 100000, 0O0-into eight
parts of which the United States
would receive one. 1t is true that TO-
powers are represented at Peing, butS
at least two of them have no founda-
ton for claim for indemnity. This
suggestion has not been warmly res
ceived by those. nations which claim
to have been put to veryamuch more
expense than was the United States
through the Boxer troublesS But the
answer to this has been that in most
cases the, greater part Of these ex-
penses was absolutely unnecessary,
that there was no occasion for the
of large military forces
in China after the fall of Picking and |
equally unnecessary and pernicious
were the variofs soscaHed punitive
expeditions whichN have been dis
patched from Peking at short inter
walls ever since that date.

MoRGAN's NEW PLAN.

Scheme to Settle Chinese Indemnity
Question.
Washington, March Ex-senator
Morgan has submitted a proposition
to Secretary Hay which he believes
will satisfactorily dispose of the in
demnity question. This is that China
be allowed to sell Manchuria to Rus
STA and with the proceeds liquidate
the demands of the other powers. b.,
Such a surplus as she will have will
enable her to institute many govern
mental reforms. This proposal is not
at all acceptable to the authorities,
because no provision can be made, in
case of the alienation of Manchuria
for American trade.

Golf Croquet.

Golf croquet has come into being, and
those acquainted with the game predict
for it great popularity. It was originat-
ed by Lieut.-Com. Henry McCrea Of the
United States navy. The balls used are
similar to ordinary croquet balls, only
made smaller. The mallet is also shaped
somewhat like the croquet mallet, but
has longer and more slender handle,
like a golf club. One end of the mallet
is ''lofted" or cut off on an angle, so that
in the first drive, which is made exactly
DIS in the game of golf, the ball is sent
a much longer distance than in ordinary
croQuet. An expert is said to have driv-
en- a ball with one Of these mallets over
100 yards.
The wickets used in golf croquet are
square-topped and are placed irregularly
and at irregular distances, so that the
ground resembles miniature golf course
with wickets instead of cups. When near
a wicket the shot is made with the
straight edge Of the mallet
The game has the merit of occupying
less space than golf course, is easier
played. and requires far less exertion.
Complete sets for playing golf croquet
comprise four persimmon head mallets
with hickory stats and leather grips, six
whitewood balls. and nine nickel-plated
wickets. This promises to be the game

A Novelty in BridegrOoms.

Seven Vienna ladies, weary of Europe
and Western civilization, have married
seven male members Of a Bedouin troupe
which has been performing in the Aus
trian capital during the summer and au-
tumn. Five Of these adventurous women
are spinsters and two are widows, and
they have Just accompanied their Asiatic
spouses to their native deserts and cases,
where they are to be again married after
the Arabic ceremony. The scene ut the
station when they took their farewell of
Felix Austria" says the Vienna Tag
blatt, was truly astonishing. The plat
form was crowded with sympathetic
friends, the majority of whom were wom-
en- and girls, and not a few among them
expressed their envy Of their sisters who
had won such magnificent husbands. All
the seven brides. according to the ungal-
liant reporter, were of uncertain age"
and. as they all had some property. he in
sinuates that the Arabs were not so much
fascinated by their beauty and youth as
by their gold and silver. The crowd of
women left on the platform as the train
steamed out burst into tears at the de-
parture of the heroes of the circus.-Lon-

BLoCKH0UsE FOR RESIDENCE.

One Of the objects of interest at Sault
Ste. Marie, Ont. is the residence of F..
II. Clergue, that remarkable genius who
is spending millions in the development
fortunately for the 500. is something
more than a nloney-grubber. and so when
he bought the old Hudson Bay station
on the Canadian side of the river for Il
millsite. he determined to preserve all
that would be Of historical interest. In
pursuance of this idea he has rebuilt the
old blockhouse and uses it for his home.
those built by the Hudson Bay company
more than $50 years ago. The old loop
holes can be seen. The upper, or over
hanging portion of the build
ing. made Of logs, mad to be
rebuilt. Its design is as nearly
like the original as it was possible to
make it; But Of course the polished
lain bath, telephone and other features
of the interior are not relics of the Hud-
son Bay cOmpany's period. But it is
very proper. indeed. that the man who
lives in this historic structure should
be the man who is building the first rail
many miles of it completed and open to
traffic, and is sending the construction
gang into the wilderness with the rails at
the rate CT half a mile day.
Mr.. Clergue was able to locate the old
stockade which surrounded the block
house. and has built handsome wall
Of ribboned sandstone to mark the lines
Of the ancient compound. With
in the enclosure pet bears and great ST..
BernardS diSport themselves even as
they very likely did upon the self-same

also found and preserved the first lock

company $50 years ago to enable the
company's batteaux to come down from
their trading tsips along the shores of

FREMONT'S GRAVE UNMARKED
Leader Of Famous Expedition Lies
in an Obscure Cemetery.

On the grave of Gen. John c.. FIRE.
mont, to whom the republic owes 81
much. there is not even a stone to indi-
cate the resting place of man whom
foreign nations delighted to honor for the
important work he had done. All that
remains of the man who opened a way
over the Rocky mountains, who suffered
great privation and almost lost his life
for the benefit of his fellow men is now
resting in Rockland cemetery. in the
lower part of Rockland county. New
just as we'll be in any ordinary pasture
lot as where it is, SO far as any dis
tinguishing marks are concerned. His
grave is overgrown with grasses and
weeds and only the men employed regu-
larly in the cemetery are able to find it.
When the body of Gen. Fremont was
taken to Rockland cemetery there was
much talk of erecting a suitable monu-
ment to mark the spot where he was
buried. but the plan never got beyond
supplying base for the shaft. The base
was put in position and for a year or SC
means were furnished to keep the grave
in order Then interest in the move
ment Jagged and there was an end to it.
For several years nothing has been
done with the grave. Weeds and wild
grasses have grown over it until all trace
Of the original grave has disappeared.
One man, acting as the representative Of
4 Grand Army post. saw that it was
properly decorated with flowers on Me-
mortal day. much to the surprise Of the
cemetery attendants.

DOLLARS IN ODD SHAPES.
Every Batch Of New Coins Tested for
Weight aud Fineness.

Under the law a silver dollar may be
grain and half over weight or a
grain and a half under weight, and this
''limit of tolerance" applies to all of our
silver coins In other words, they are
much from standard. In the case of gold
pieces the limit is half a grain either
way. up to the eagle, a variation of as
much as one grain being permissible in
the $40 and 500 pieces.
Whenever fresh batch Of dollars is
warded to the treasury at Washington,
where they are put through a very curl
GUS process. Each dollar is first
weighed on exquisitely delicate scales,
to make sure that it is heavy enough
and vet not too heavy. Then it is passed
between two steel rollers again and again
until it is flattened out and transformed
into thin strip Of silver-a sort of rib
bona foot and a half in length. Then
it is put beneath little machine provid-
ed with several small punches, by which
hundreds of tiny disks are punched out
of the metal strip.
Now. the object of this performance is
to obtain samples Of metal from all
parts of the dollar. inasmuch as it is
richer in silver than another. The little
disks are shutfled together, and few Of
them. taken at random from the lot, are
subjected to an assay. Thus the fine
ness of the material of the dollar is as
certained with absolute accuracy, and,
the weight having been already deter
mined, the value and correctness of that
The sample pieces having been found
correct it is inferred that the entire
batch of dollars is all right.-Saturday

MORE VOTES FOR PRESIDENT.
New Apportionnent Act Adds Twenty.

New ADportion: emit Act Adds Twenty

1t will take Is more votes to elect the
last election Of Mckinley. Under the re-

The states Of the North Atlantic sea-
