MORE FROM AMENT.

CHICAGO. May 2.-Dr William S.
Ament, the noted missionary who re-
Gently arrived in San Francisco from
the Orient. reached this city last night.
Upon his arrival he was met by his
wife. who had not Seen him in three
years. This morning they will leave for
Owosso. Michigan, where DIR. Ament
will meet his aged father and mother.
Here he will prepare his report. which
will be presented to the Congregational
mission board in Boston.
Speaking of the one-third indemnity
collected above the actual damages sus-
tained by natives during the siege, DR..
Ament had this to say:
Let it be understood that the clan
is the unit of Chinese society, not the
individual. The clan is responsible for
the actions of its members. II one
member is promoted it works to the
advantage of the whole community.
In the various clans were people who
had no property. They had TO be cared
for and it was for their support that
the extra third was assessed. This
is one of the principles of Chinese So
ciety that is to be commended. In this
connection let me say that 1t is the
policy of the missionaries to conserve
everything in Chinese society that is
conducive to good morals"
DR. Ament said that the tales con-
cerning barbarous practices of the for
eign soldiers had been magnifed. He
added that while he could not approve
Of some of the things which had been
done by the soldiers many errors COM
mitted by the native soldiers and the
Boxers had been shifted on to the for
eign soldiery.
DR.. Ament also said that the mission
aries had left more friends in China
than ever before and that the outlook
for the future is most promising.

DISLIKE wALDERsEE's NOTE.

PEKIN. May AT a meeting Of the
ministers yesterday the report OF the
indemnity committee was read. Re-
garding the resources of China the re-
port was very voluminous. 1t was
practically a repetition of Jameson's
well-known pamphlet on the subject
Sir Robert Hart offered suggestions
similar to those already credited TO him
and cabled to the Associated Press. 1t
is claimed that the revenues from all
available sources will not allow China
to pay the indemnity unless assist
ance is rendered.
The next meeting will be held next
Tuesday. The subject of Count Won
Waldersee's letter will then be taken
up and a reply to II will then be draft
ed. The ministers personally object to
the tone Of the letter. They claim
that they know what they want with
out being told. They particularly OBJ
ject to any of the legation guards be-
ing under any authority except that
of the ministers themselves.

Striking Kentucky Miners Becoming
Troublesome.
Madisonville, Ky, Sept. 24-The
governor has been appealed to for
troops to hold in check the turbulent
coal miners on strike. AS the result
Of an armed attack by a squad of
strikers Judge J. Mum has wired Gov
ernor Beckham as follows:
tIt is my opinion that troops are
needed here at once to preserve the
peace" ...
/ AT an early hour the strikers opened
fire on Reinecke mines from a grove
500 yards off and gradually came
nearer. One squad of 25 or 80 strik-
ers stood within 80 yards of the main
road and peppered the street, making
it SO warm for the guard who was pa
trolling in front of row of miners
houses that ne beat a hasty. retreat.
The house nearest the strikers was
riddled with bullets.
The sheriff is summoning every
available able-bodied man in the coun-
ty. They are being armed and will be
placed at the mines to protect the
property. One hundred armed men
have just arrived in a special train
from darlington and have reported to
the sheriff for duty. E S2: E3

, DRAIN UPON RESOURCES.
Boer War Will Compel Great Britain
to Borrow More Cash.

New York, Sept. 24.-In financial
circles the opinion is growing that
there will have to be further borrow
ing by the British government as the
result of the continued fighting in
South Africa, says the London CORE
spondent of The Tribune. The only
relief to the drain upon the resources
of the nation is the money which is
expected to be realized by the sale of
farms belonging to those irreconcila-
BILE burghers who have left their
wives and children to the care of
Lord Kitchener. This relief can only
be very trifling, however, and it is
hardly likely to have an apppreciable
effect. Commenting upon the military
situation, the correspondent says:
The newspapers are clamoring for
energetic prosecution of the struggle
and are pleased to be able to print
Lord Kitchener's announcement of the
capture of Koch's commando and the
Carolina commando. These British
successes are regarded as some COM
pensation for the reverses reported
last week. General Louis Botha has
now lost large number of his cattle
and he may find it necessary to alter
his plans considerably.

Political Parties. I&..
New York, Sept 24.-Next Saturday
or sooner Senor Tomas Estrada Palma
will be proclaimed a candidate for the
presidency of Cuba, with the endorse
ment of all political parties and with
absolute assurance of election when
the vote is taken, says the Havana
correspondent of The Herald. 49, $
This was decided by the leaders Of
the several parties at a meeting called
to read the platform addressed to
General Ruis Rivera by Senor Palma,
in reply to a request from these par
ties for an expression of sentiments on
the various propositions propounded
by the Cuban people.
The greatest questions involved
| were those of reciprocity treaty with
the United States, permanent treaty
as prescribed by the Platt amendment,
the manner Of the payment of the Gu
ban army for services during the rev
olution, the system of collecting rev.
! enues from governmental maintenance
and the ownership of the Isle Of Pines.
! The leaders accepted Senior Palma's
| platform by vote of % to 2. Great
enthusiasm prevailed among Senor
! Palma's friends. It is believed that
he will be elected by an overwhelming g
| majority. The convention is awaiting
! the return of General Wood to settle
the matter of the electoral law.

Ottawa, Ont, Sept. 24.-The Duke
and Duchess of Cornwall and York
and their party were the guests OF the
lumbermen during the day and under
their guidance made an interesting
trip down the Ottawa river. The
royal party were brought in from Ri
deau Hall On an electric street car,
made especially for the trip. On leav-
ing the car they were taken aboard
lumber cribs, moored in the river.
The cribs were then run through the
timber slides in which the water ran
with the speed Of a mill race. At the
end of the exciting ride the party were
placed in Indian canoes, manned by
Indians, and padded down the river
to Rockliffe. They were shown through
the lumber camps and at luncheon
sampled the lumberman's food. There
were canoe races and other aquatic
sports at Rockliffe. The weather con-
ditions were perfect. Large crowds
gathered On the river banks and
cheered at sight of the royal couple.
The royal party returned to Ottawa
in the afternoon.
