washington. March -, Although the
situation NJ Tirn-tsin WAS never re-
gartlrd here aS really dangerous, the Of
GcialS fcll that prolOngation Of the
hostile attitude of the British and Rus
sian forces might lead 10 trouble in the
end. 80 that the news Of tue arrange
rent by which both Of the powers are
enabled to yccrdc from their positions
without loss Of honor was we'll rccciV-
ed here. With this exciting issue with
drawn the Chinese trouble has assumed
less ncnacing aspect. and it is re-
ported that the ministers have been
able leaving in abcyance the trouble
some subject of lndemnitics, to make
some headway toward the disposition
Of the points remaining to be adjusted
under the articles subscribed to by Chi
na and the powers as the basis for the
joint meeting at Pcking.
Further inquiry into the indemnity
question makes il appear that the sum
Of S20O. O.0O0.O0O, which our government
considers the maximum that should be
levied upon the Chinese as tax, rep
resents absolutely the limit of Chinese
ability, according to the calculation Of
the officials best Informed as TO the re-
sources of China.
The figure named docs not represent
the aggregate Of the indcnnitlcs claim
ed. On the contrary, it is understood
that these are very much larger. The
United States fixed upon the sum Of
S21UUO.OU0 as a suitable indemnity to
he claimed. Notwithstanding that off
cialS of the various departments are
vide for the payment of a certain per
cpntagc of the items claimed. because
it was felt that this was AS much as
We should claim propurtioually of the
total of S20O, 100000.
Question of Division.
1t Is not The intention TO divide this
5000 600 into as many equal parts
as there are powers, but while divid-
ing it into eight or ten parts, to see to
ii that these parts are so proportioned
aS to compensate the powers in ac-
corduncc with the outlay they have
been put to in suppr"ssing the Boxer
troubles.
This government would be willing to
ahatc the S2I, 100000 claim If the other
powers would reduce their claims in
the same proportion. oven to the cX-
tent Of reducing the total estimate TO
SlO0,OOO.OOo If by so doing the Chinese
government could be relieved by hay
ing the tax adjusted to their abilities
But. ali hough in grave doubt whether
China can pay more than SlOO.onO,oOo.
our government feels itself bound to
secure compensation for its citizens
and itself to the same extent ns Is Sc
cured by other powers and is especial
ly resolved to do this because of the
conviction that Il total abandonment
of our claims or even Il heavy rcdu"-
tion without corresponding action on
the part of the other powers would
rather injurc than help China by de-
struving whatever of restraining in
nucncc the state department has been
50 far able to exert upon less sympa-
thctiC powers.
