ST. Petersburg. March 21.-A semi
official statement has just been issued
to the effect that commonplace Incl
dent at Tien Tsin has been terribly
exaggerated by the British press until

casus belli. According to the state

troops trying to forcibly possess dis

that the matter is manifestly ques-

it will be amicabIy settled to the salts

Ranld Progress Reported

Paris, March 81. = Cablegrams re-
ceived here from Picking are very
cheerful regarding the rapid progress
of negotiations there during the past
week. The American proposal to ar
range for demanding joint damages
from China is being favorably discuss
ed by the powers. There appears to
be prospect for the adoption of this
proposition, although with some modi-
fications from it's original form. Feel
ing in Paris favors agreement among
the powers respecting the amount each
state shall demand, and then the pres
entation of these amounts to the Chi
nese government as one sum. 1t is
throught the claims of individuals and
societies, however, should be adjudged
by commissions sitting in the respect
i've legations and presented separately.

per cent over the amount for the same
period in 1899, according to state

silver imported into the islands from

valued at $17.SOS,222, showing a bal.
ance of trade in favor of the archipel.

the same periods of 1899, show an In
crease OF "a per cent in imports and
20 per cent in exports. The exports to

THREE THRU PLANS in VIEW.
Powers Are Trying TO Arrive at an
Unanimous Conclusion.
HITCH ON DISTRIBUTING INDEMNITY.
Radical Proposition Advanced by the
United Stntes-No Occasion For EN-
pemse of Large Military Forces
And Punitive Expeditions.

Washington, March 81. - Late ad.
vices from Mr.. Rockhill, special COM
missioner for the United States at Pc
king, are of more hopeful tone than
those Immediately preceding. He In
dictates that the subject of indemnities
is being discussed with an apparent
disposition to reach a unanimous con
clusion in the matter.
The United States proposition look
ing to the agreement of the powers
upon d lump sum for indemnities, liked
by the ability of the Chinese to pay
without destroying the government,
seems to be growing in favor. But the
difficulty is that while perhaps the ma
jority of the powers, even all of them,
might be induced to accept the princi-
pie of thus gauging the burden to the
strength of China, they are far from
unanimous as to the method of dis
tributing the money among themselves.
So far no less than three schemes of
valuation have been considered at Pc
king, and 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 collected-say 5000.
oOO, OOO-into eight parts, of which the
United States would receive one. 1t is
true that ten powers are represented
at Picking, but at least two of them
have no foundation for claim for in
demnity. This suggestion has not been
warmly received by those nations
which claim to have been put to very
much more expense than was the Uni.
ted States through the Boxer troubles.
But the answer to this has been that
in most cases the greater part of these
expenses was absolutely unnecessary;
that there was no occasion for the
maintenance of large military forces
in China after the fall of Picking, and
equally Unnecessary and even perni-
cious were the various so.called punt
tive expeditions which have been dis
patched from Picking at short intervals
ever since that date.
