THROWS AWAY MONEY
PRINCESS DE CHIMAY is AN INCOR-
RIGIBLE SPENDTHRIFT.
Her Uncle Is Appointed Conscrvntor
of Her Estate-Admits Her
own Incompetence.

CHICAGO, May 22.-Princess De Chimay,
formerly Clara Ward of Detroit, was de-
clared a spendthrift and incapable of
managing her property in the Probate
Court here to-day. Thomas r. Lyons, her
uncle, was appointed conservator of her
estate and filed bond of 100000. He al
leges that since she came into her property
in 1894 the princess has spent 100000, in ad-
dition to the annual income of from $50, 600
to $4,000. Mr.. Lyons produced proof that
his niece concurred with him in believing
a conservator necessary.
The present action, according to state
ments of Mr.. Lyons to the jury, was pre-
cipitated by the demand made in February
last from Egypt for $4,000 to pay the
woman's accumulated debts. These ac-
crued in two years. This bill was the
largest ever presented. Her previous rec
ord had been the spending of 900 francs
in Paris in six weeks. All of these bills
Mr.. Lyons, as trustee, had to settle out Of
the principal of the woman's fortune. When
the debts in Egypt were discovered Mr..
Lyons arranged meeting with his niece
in London. She then acknowledged that
she was incapable of resisting the tempta-
ton Of buying whatever she wanted.

POINTS In DISPUTE.
Total Amount of Indemnity and Meth
Od of Payment.

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, May 22.-The
President and Secretary of State Hay have
been in constant communication with
Washington during all the journey West.
Dispatches from foreign embassies have
been continually arriving, and the Chi
nese situation has received special atten-
ton. The President has been anxious lest
the difficulties thrown in the way of an
agreement by the demands of some of the
powers might lead to indefinite delay and
consequent increase of the indemnity to be
exacted. The points to be settled are, first,
the total amount Of the indemnity and the
share of each power; second. the method
OF payment. In regard to the first point
the President has constantly endeavored
to moderate the demands of the powers to
all amount which China might pay with
out financial ruin territorial dismember-
ment. He has thought that $780, 000, 900 was
the maximum amount indicated by the best
authorities consulted, and he has proved
the willingness of this government to make
every sacrifice in the interest of the in
tegrity OF China and the restoration of
normal relations by cutting down our al
ready moderate claim one-half if other
powers would make proportionate reduc-
ton. These propositions have not been
accepted by the other governments, though
Great Britain has shown disposition to a
cCnsiderate treatment or the matter.
AS to the method of payment, it is un-
derStood there are various propositions be-
fore the conference of ministers in Peking.
One is a loan to be contracted by China,
guaranteed by the powers, which, II is
thought, might be loated at per cent,
with a commission of or per cent; an
other is a loan, not guaranteed, which
would probably require an enormous COM
mission and heavy rate of interest, some
per cent. Neither of these propositions
was acceptable to the President. Two
weeks ago he proposed that each of the
powers should accept, for its share of the
indemnity the bonds of China at par and
with interest at per cent, provision for
meeting the interest and for eventual pay
ment being taken from the likin, the salt
duties and increased import taxes. Mr..
Rockhill has now been instructed to urge
these views anew upon the attention OF
his colleagues The attitude of the Brit
ish government. as set forth in the recent
speeches of its representatives in Parla-
ment, indicate that Great Britain. though
not willing to go far as this country in
moderating the demands Of the powers, is
inclined to accept measures which. If
adopted. may bring the negotiations to
conclusion.

PEKING, May 22.--The last Of the Amer
ican troops here, with the exception of the
legation guard, left Peking at o'clock this
morning The headquarters staff departed
at 10 o'clock In spite of the early hour and
the long distances they had TO march all
the bands of the British troops escorted
the Ninth United States Infantry from the
Temple of Agriculture to the depot, where
a Japanese band awaited the troops. All
the British generals and their staffs and
all the officers off duty were present. The
scene was one of great enthusiasm. AS the
train left a great crowd was present to
wish General Chaffee farewell. Count Won
Waldersee, General Yamaguchi, General
Gaseee and all the other generals and
members of the legations were among
those present. The Seventh Rajputs acted
as a guard of honor.
The foreign ministers meeting to-day was
very unsatisfactory. No power was willing
TO accede TO the American idea of reduc-
ton of the Chinese indemnity to G4O,OOO,OOO.
though Great Britain recognizes the adViS-
ability of some reduction. There Will be
another meeting tomorrow.

FLOODS in THE SOUTH
TEN LIVES LOST IN UPPER TENNEs-

Millions of Dollars Damage Reported
to Have Been Done-Town of Eliz-

KNOXVILLE. Tenn. May 22.-Millions
of dollars of damage has been done and at
least eight lives lost in upper Tennessee by
the floods which began their work of de-
struction when a dam across the Doe river,
at Elzabethton, gave way yesterday after
noon. The dead are Mrs. Gregg, Mrs. Fill
ley, negro named Souchong. three chill
dren of Joseph Hill, a man named Bolivar
and an unknown man.
Little mountain streams emptying into
the Doe and Wautauga rivers swelled those
streams beyond all proportions hitherto
known, submerging Elizabethton, a town
of 1000 people. located at their junction. All
property in the path of the raging flood
was destroyed and people rendered home
less in a twinkling. The Wautauga poured
its volumes in the Holston, spanned by
many bridges, which We're swept away with
little or no warning The Chuckey river,
in Green county, and the French Broad, in
Jefferson, are also out of bounds, and grow
ing crops have been swept away all along
their courses.

out as reply to this that many of the
