MINISTER CoNGER ON CHINA
SAYS THAT ANXIOUS FCR
 SETTLE LEMENT.
Powers Will Soon Reach Some Con- c.usion Unless Matters Have Changed Very Materially Since He Left-Pnr- Any Power Demanding Territory in Lieu of Money.

AtCU OA NhohVys
 New York. May 5.--Minister F. H. Conger, who has lately returned to this country furnishes an article on the China situation, which will appear in the coming number of Leslie's Weekly. MT Conger says in part:
 Unless matters have changed very materially sinceX left China, six weeks ago, the powers will reach some conclu- sion in regard to China very soon. Of course it is difficult for eleven men to agree on anything, especially when they have eleven governments with differing views behind them. China is perfectly willing to do anything that the powers agree upon-that is, anything within her ability to accomplish. She Is only too anxious to expedite these matters, and settle down to peaceful pursuits again Of course the powers must not demand an indemnity which China will be physically unable to raise. It is possible that China will not be able to meet quite all the expenses of the war, but even if there should be slight bal ance left on the wrong side it would pay the powers far better to abate little in the amount of their demands and al low trade to commence again than to insist on the last farthing and delay the renewal of commercial relations.
 It is not certain that finally some na- ton may not demand territory of Chl- na in lieu of money indemnity. It IS perfectly certain that if any nation does make this demand the partition or China will follow, and this will inevita- bly, cause much dissension between the powers. These difficulties and, disputes would be long in the settling and would lead to terrible confusion in China NO man can tell how long it would be be- fore the country would be peaceful and there would be constant strife between the powers and the provinces which they attempted to govern-all this to the detriment of trade. Russia has so far mitigated her demands that there is not now much danger Of serious dl1- faculties between her and Japan Fer sonally, I am very much Tn taVor or the continued existence of China as an empire governed by her own emperor IT will save us and all the rsSr of the world lots of triuble if the integrity or the empire is maintained. The empress dowager has done much harm. She IS not. however, entirely to blame for the Boxer uprising. Among her counseilors and near to her were many men or strong anti-foreign feelings, ana she listened only too willingly to what they said, her own prejudices coincldlng with theirs.
 As far as the punishment of Chinese officials goes, China has already done all that she could. Something out or the ordinary had to be demanded by the powers for it takes a good deal or pun ishment to impress this people and this was no ordinary offense. In some cases the officials whose punishment was de- manded were more powerful than the government, and then, of course, the punishment could not be enforced. Ex- cept in these cases everything was done as the powers demanded.

 Lipton, wetson and Captain sycamor4
 Pleased with First Trial.
 Southampton, May 5.-None of Sir Thomas Lipton's party came ashore here after the return of the Shamrock IT. from the spins. Sir Thomas, it is asserted, is more enthusiastic than ever. es SssS \
 II consider it demonstrated beyondll question:" he said to representatives of the Associated Press, "that the new challenger will make the finest fight ever made in a contest for the Ameri- cas- cup. I do not know what Americas has to array against us, but am com vinced that the Americans will be well pleased to see good race and will bear me no ill-will if, as I now think 1t pos- sible, I should win the cup"
 Captain Sycamore parried all ques- tions, but admitted that the boat went like a dandy" He declined to discuss her chances, adding significantly, This is no time for boasting.'
 From an amateur who was on board during the spins it was ascertained that Captain Sycamore was greatly pleaBed with the behavior of the challenger i'm all respects, and that he remarked that her smoothness in travelling was extras ordinary.
 MT. Watson observed regarding the spins: T was certainly pleased at find- ing that she neither broke nor burst anything; but one trial like that of yes- terday is not enough for definite opin- ion.'' Another trial has been arranged for tomorrow, when everybody hopea there may be fresher breeze.

KANSAS CITY SALOONS
Closed Tight Yesterday for the First
 Time In Six Years.

Kansas City, May 5.-Saloons in Kan sas City, Mo-, were closed tight to-day, the first time in six years. But one ar rest for failure to respect Mayor Reeds order was made and one of the quietest days for a long time was the result. Saloon keepers spent an active day, however, circulating petitions to the mayor and police commissioners giving their side of the question and request ing resumption of the old regime. A mass meeting under the auspices of the Law Enforcemen league, attended by 300 men was held, and strong resolu- tions commenting the mayor and police commissioners for their action were adopted. It was determined to keep up the agitation for Sunday closing, and a committee was appointed to secure evil dence against saloon keepers who may fail to observe the law.

OF THE CONSTRUCTION
Dock, According to Present Plans, WilK
 be Closed to Sightscers.

Bristol, R. T., May 5.-This was an eventful day in Bristol All arrange ments have been made at the Herreshoff yards for the launching of the Consti- tuition. Work ceased last night, and no doubt the yacht is in perfect readiness, for her maiden plunge. She could easi-s ly have been put overheard at high wa ter tomorrow morning, but a mysteri- ous and theatrical launching in the dark is more to Herreshoff's taste. The general public will be afforded no faoil- ities whatever for seeing the ceremony. Butler Duncan and his party will be admitted into the shop, but according to present plans the Herreshoff's dock will be closed to sightseers.
