MISTAKEN IMPRESSION ABROAD
No Balance TO Speak of Left from Our Chi
nese Indemnity.

Washington, Dec. 31.-Under the
mistaken impression that there will be
a large balance remaining of the $25,-
100000 indemnity fund to be paid by
China to the United States after pay
ing all legitimate claims and the army
and naval expenses of the Chinese
campaign, some of the powers party
to the Peking protocol have intimated
that they would be glad to have that
balance turned over to them.
The allegation is that they have not
claimed sufficient indemnities to reim-
burse them for actual expenses and
proper claims. and that Iney have a
right to regard the 450,000,0O0 taels
as properly diviSible on the basis of
actual expenditures and losses.
1t is not at all probable that this
point will be pressed, however, because
the officials here are confident that
after the United States has betrayed
her own claims and expenditures there
will be little or no balance remaining
of her allotment

Bonds Redeemed.

Since last April the United States
treasury has redeemed cancelled
United States bonds to the par value
of SOS, ,714.7OO. which has been applied
to the sinking fund and disbursement
resulting therefrom was S72, 226.S45.
Available cash on hand is therefore
only about thirty-five millions larger
than the amount held a year ago"

FOR BIG War:
so IT is SAID OF CHINA
Recent Sojourner There Says Willy
Celestial is Sharpening His
Knife to Get Even.

New York, Dec. 31.-Charles F.
Cannon, superintendent of Colpor-
teurs for the American Bible society
in northern China, writes to the so
ciety concerning the situation in the
empire as follows: while at Shang-
hal l observed that the Chinese gov
ernment was openly violating the pro-
visions of the protocol. The great em-
pire would shake off European domina-
ton. Thousands of boat loads of small
arms and ammunition We're passing up
the Kiang weekly, and the
arsenals were being enlarged and
worked day and night. Cargoes of ex-
pIOsives We're received and the dow
ager empress had issued instructions
to all officials to recruit the army and
to inform her as to the fighting
strength of each division and the time
required to concentrate the forces at
given point.
Looks for Tremendous Fight.
There We're and are many other un-
promising features which weighed
heavily upon the minds of those inter-
eSted. l must believe that the end is
not yet and that within ten years, and
possibly within five, a war will enSue
the like of which the world has never
known. For centuries China has been
making repeated attempts to expel the
foreigner, each time profiting by past
experience. each time with more power
and success. each time better equipped
and better planned. She is now prepar-
ing as never before. buying vast guam
titles of superior weapons and reorgan-
iZing her armies on Il correct basis.
Therefore the next attempt will be
gigantic in force and terrible in eXecu-
tiOn. 1t will result in a universal up
heaval and the final diSmemberment Of
this empire at n terrible cost
Attempt to Assassinate the DIikadO.
Vancouver, B. c., Dec. 31.-Japan-
eSe papers received by the steamer
Athenian tell of what seemed to be an
attempt by a foreigner named Thor
son to assassinate the emperor. This
man, with an eX-member Of the Japan
ese parliament-Tanaka SjOse-waited
for the imperial carriage after the cere-
mony of the opening of the diet had
taken place. The japanese member
wished to present a document to his
majesty. and threw off his coat and hat
to approach the carriage. AS he rushed
forward ThOrsOn ran up with pistol in
hand, but before he could do anything
he was Overpowered and diSarmed by

iasm was manifested everywhere.

ilarity between the Transyaal and Dutch
struggles for liberty, and said Rotter-
dam wished, through Mr.. Kruger, to
pay homage to the little Boer nation
which had shown such faith and conf
dence in its own strength.

the fact that his country was cut off
from supplies and ammunition, whereas
the Dutch had their own supplies during
their struggle. He was fully convinced

LUR-SALUCES IS GUILTY
SENTENCED TO FIVE YEARS BAN
LSHMENT FOR TREASON.

PARIS, June 26.-When the senate. as
high court of justice, FeassembIed to-
day, continuing the trial of the Marquis
de Lur-Saluces, charged with treason. the
public prosecutor, NJ Bernard resumed
his speech, which was interrupted yes
terday by the adjournment of the court.
He dwelt at length on the participation
OF the marquis in the intrigues of the
anti-Republican leagues and demanded
his punishment.
The Marquis de Lur-Saluces was
found guilty with extenuating circum-
stances and sentenced to five years BAN
ishment
The trial was concluded amid the gem
eral Indifference Of the spectators The
marquis was voted guilty of conspiracy
by a. vote of Il to 81 and he was SEN
fenced to banishment by a vote of r.
to 20. He leaves Paris tonight
After the speech made by his counsel
and before the marquis was condemned,
M. Falliere, the president of the court
asked the marquis if he had anything to
say, to which the latter replied that
prescription or imprisonment mattered
little to him. He added: 81 will always
be able to say to my children, your
father kept his honor unstained.'
During the secret deliberation NJ. Au-
cion spoke strongly in favor Of condemn
ing the marquis.
These remarks led Senator Provost De-
launay to interrupt the speaker, calling
him clown. M. Aucion retorted with
equally disagreeable epithets and as
result seconds were appointed with a
view to duel between NJ. Aucion and
M Delaunay.
General Charreyon and NJ. Papillaud,
journalist of the Libre Parole, will act
for M Delaunay, while Senators
d'Estiux Junca and Miles Lacroix will
act for NJ. Aucion.
This duel promises to be the only in
teresting development of the trial.

THREW BRICKS Al POLICE
STRIKING LABORERS IN PITCHED
BATTLE WITH ROCHESTER,
EORGN

ROCHESTER, N. Y, June 26.-Striking
laborers numbering 600 had a brisk en-
counter with the police, in which eleven
policemen and twenty rioters were in
jured. The rioters set out several times
before to drive off the laborers who were
at work on street improvements. At
Mill and Commercial streets they ell
countered fifty laborers employed by the
Rochester Gas and Electric company in
digging a trench, and advanced on them
and drove them from the trench. The
workers sought refuge in the power
house Of the company, and the police
undertook to disperse the mob.
The police reserves were drawn UP In
a platoon of fifty across the street, and
under orders advanced with drawn clubs
upon the mob. Immediately the air was
filled with bricks, stones and wood, and
shovels and picks in the hands of the
strikers We're used freely.
Amid the melee a shot rang out, and
Sergeant Stein, commanding the platoon
ordered the policemen to fire over the
heads Of the strikers. This had the de-
sired effect. The strikers scattered, and
the police chased them through the
streets to the city hall park, where they
were held awaiting action by the mayor
Police reinforcements were hurried to
the scene of the riot. but their services
were not required. The injuries sustain
ed by several policemen are of a seri-
Gus nature. The hurts of the rioters
were mostly scalp wounds, inflicted by
the officers clubs.

WAISTS GO IN
ST. PAUL RESTAURANTS

Male residents of st. Paul may enter
any of the restaurants in the city,
wearing either shirt waists or negligee
shirts, seat themselves at the table, tell
the attentive waiter what they would
like in the way of food and drinks and
be assured that it will be given them
without any reference being made to
their coatless condition.
The restaurateurs of the Sanity City
have the reputation of being good fell
lows, and also of being thoroughly
awake to the comfort Of the guests who
patronize their places Of business But
there are good fellows in the same busi-
ness in other cities as well, and in not
a few Of them the guest without a coat
ia refused service. With a view of de-
termining whether the well known liber-
ality Of the st. Paul hosts extended to
this matter Of dress, a reporter for the
Clio b 9 was yesterday instructed
to leave his coat at office,
taurants in the city, and order a
meal. The day was rather warm for
such an undertaking, but the reporter
managed to get away with several
luncheons during the course Of the
afternoon. With only one exception did
ne find a proprietor who objected to
feeding shirt waist men. All the others
were WullHS TO dllOW their patrons TO
ignore the old and barbarous custom of
wearing a coat when the mercury Is
soaring above the ninety mark.
Expecting to be ogled and perhaps re-
fused service the reporter first entered
Magees restaurant at Fourth and
Robert streets. Not the slightest stir
was created by his entrance and one Of
the walters quickly took the order and
later the money without uttering a MUIR
muir about insufficient attire or "hot
day. or anything in the least suggestive.
Carvings was next visited and here the
reporter was assured that I'VE do not
care how our patrons are dressed so
long as they are comfortable"
With some slight misgiving the "feeler'

Acme. With much boldness he stalked
through the dining room to one Of the
most conspicuous places. He was scarcely
comfortably seated when a waitress
brought him his Ice water and bill OF

glaringly improper. In due time he paid
his bill and left, Immediately entering

the Aquarium Here he bumped into the
head waiter, and asked if he would he
allowed to dine without a coat He was
at once assured that 1t would be ell
right, but becoming rather impatient
with the tameness of his experience
which he had expected to find interest
ing, he told that gentleman unless they
would agree to throw him out he would
refuse to spend any money, as he had
already been obliged to eat three lunches
With friend the coatless man next
proceeded to the Ryan cafe. His order
was quickly taken, and before he left the
cafe a man attired in stiff bosom shirt,
with suspenders and no coat entered,
accompanied by woman, and was
served. No questions were asked.
The experience was getting altogether
too tame, and was not producing all that
had been promised. With one lingering
hope the reporter wended MS way to the
Windsor, and here met with the first OBJ
lection. The clerk told him that men
without coats were Objectionable. Col.
Montford was approached, and his senti-
ments were the same but little strong
er, and he assured the reporter that if
he entered the dining room he would be
requested to, send for his coat. A glance
into the dining room revealed a number
of sweltering men with Wilted collars
bulged out by wet handkerchiefs stuffed
between the collar and neck. All wore
coats and all looked tormented. In the
room were comfortably attirad women,
some dressed IN shirtwaists and others
in loose-fitting waists, with low neck and
no collars; others wore very thin white
waists, with lace inserting that did nor
quite succeed in hiding from view the
pearly skin. The house says that It is
quite proper for the women, because 1t is
custom. For the men 1t is a glaring
breach Of etiquette to be neat and com
Portable because questionable authority
so demands.
At the Metropolitan opera house the
reporter was informed that the comfort
Of the patrons Of the theater was Of more
moment than the demands of q useless
custom, and that no one would be barred
because he had left his coat at home. If
his attire was otherwise unobjectionable.
Shirt waists and negligees are de
rigueur in this kind Of weather according
to Manager Scott's way Of thinking, and
his patrons are at liberty to please them
