WILL COOL OFF, SAYS SAGE.
EXCITEMENT OVER NORTHERN PACIFIC
Is I.AUGHABLE, HE THINKS

"I wasn't hurt particle by to-day's panic"
said Russell Sage in his home in Fifth-ave. last
evening to a Tribune reporter.
Mr.. Sage apparently In most cheerful
and contented frame OF mind and he smiled
and chucked as he went on: I'm fact, I pre-
dicted the panic several days ago. l said pub
lcly that If the stimulation Of prices and the
excitement over stocks continued there would be
a panic. 1 expected what coming"
What has been the cause of the panic?" Mr.
Sage asked
why, speculation" he replied laughing out
right. prices of some stocks have been ad-
vanced beyond reason. The values were not
there People were going crazy. The excite
ment was bound to end in a panic"
Did you have any dealing in Northern Pa
cific stock?"
Not to-day. recently. bought some
Northern Pacific several years ago at eight
cents on the dollar. and sold 1t later at IL cents
Think of that stock going up to a thousand! OF
course that the RESULT Of q corner but 1t
seems outrageous that the eighty millions Of
people in this country and ever so many in
Europe should be excited over a corner In the
stock of a horse road ike the Northern
Pacific. I wouldn't take the stock OF the road
at 30 cents on the dollar now. 1 don't think
would want the stock gift, and take the
responsibility The road runs too near the North
Pole TO be made TO pay. know there has been
a great zeal or taik ABOUT a new lne dcrOsS
the continent. There two transcontinental
lines without the Northern Pacific. the Union
Pacific line and the Central and Southern Pa
cific line and they through parts OF the
country that are salubrious and populous."
''Will the panic of to-day hurt the values of
railroads."
NO 1t will not affect real values. Some Of
the spectators lost money and some won It,
but the real values of the stocks will not be
changed"
What will happen tomorrow?
"I think the excitement will cool of. II will
end in flash and things Will go on usual.
1t really is laughable to think OF so much ex-
citement being stirred up by fight rail-
road like the Northern Pacific"

CHINA'.S INDENNITY.
FORMAL DEMAND FOR 45O,OoO.oOO TAELs
BY THE POWERS

Peking. May 9.-An indemnity claim Of 49,
100000 taels will be presented to the Chinese
plenipotentiares this evening. Chinese officials
throughout the empire have been communicat-
ing with the court and giving advice. Most OF
them seem TO favor a loan guaranteed by the
foreign powers. Others. prominent among whom
is Chang Chih Tung, believe in raising the
money in every possible way without loan
and in paying off the entire demand within five
years.
The court has considered methods OF raising
twenty millions extra annually. and Professionally
approves the plan. but the Chinese plenipotenti-
aries have instructions to obtain a reduction Of
the indemnity demand far possible. What
ever the final demands of the powers may be. 1t
is not believed that the opposition will be much
more than matter of form.
The ministers Of the powers met this morning
and decided that the Chinese should be made
TO understand thoroughly that the amount did
not constitute the claim but was the total of the
expenses including private claims considered
fair, and meant more to obtain an opinion
from official sources to China's ability To pay
and also as to what means she would employ.
