Paoting-fu, April 23.-Dr Peck has
succeeded in negotiating an agreement
with the local officials here providing
for the payment Of an indemnity of 40
900 taels to the American Board of For
eign Missions for the destruction Of
property by the Boxers Payment of
this sum is to be made within fifteen
months DR.. Peck has also secured
gift Of five acres of land for the Pres
byterians. and a special indemnity of
$4,000 taels, payment of which is to be
made within a year. This agreement
is similar to the~one made in Shang-
tung province, and will lessen the
claims Of the ministers. The officials
are extremely willing to compensate
the missionaries directly, and will be
glad to see their work re-established.
Some Catholic converts lately cap
tured two parties of armed boxers and
handed them over to the military for
punishment. A prominent Chinese
gentleman residing fourteen miles
south of here, who was mediating to
secure indemnities for Protestants and
Catholics, was called to his door by
armed Boxers last night and instantly
killed. Travel is everywhere reported
to be unsafe unless the travellers are IN
sufficient numbers to protect them
selves. A magistrate here has received
a telegram from a friend in Moukden
stating that the Russians in several
districts are expelling the Chinese Of
ficials and installing Russians in their
stead.

POSTAL SERVICE IN PHILIPPINES.
Auditor Lawshee Found Poor Sys-
tenn Of Bookkeeping.

WASHINGTON, April ia letter
from A. l.. Lawshee, auditor of the
Philippines, has been received at the
war department. and certain portions
of it have been sent to the postmaster
general for his information. The let
ter relates largely to the methods of
keeping accounts, which are not APP
proved by Mr.. Lawshee. and which
have not been in accordance with the
forms prescribed. Mr.. Lawshee took
four expert clerks when he went to
the Philippines. and these are going
over the accounts. 1t is said at the
departme nt that there is no intimation
of any fraud, but system of book
keeping is in vogue which lacks the
business methods necessary to secure
the best results.
"The accounts as filed here" said
Postmaster General Smith, ARE GER
tainly ample. They account satisfac.
torily for everything. AS to irregular
tiles, there is absolutely no word OF
foundation for such story. Not long
ago one of the most experienced in.
spectors in the postal service was
sent to the Philippines, and he made
a thorough inspection of every detail
of the work there. His report paid a
high tribute to the condition of affairs.
The reports from there show a hand.
some surplus, showing that l only
wish the service in the United States
could make"

COMMERCIAL AND FINANCIAL HAPPENINGS
A Brief Review Of the Growth and Improve.
ments Of the Many Industries Through.
out Our Thriving Commonwealth.

LONDON. April 15.--Great Britain
has not yet definitely estimated the
money indemnity she desires China
to pay. The government adheres to
the belief that little can be gained by
insisting upon cash payment from
China, and though the government re.
grets this will possibly be a cause for
delay, 1t continues to instruct Sir Err.
nest Satow to try to induce the pow.
ers to argee to a demand for greater
trading privileges instead of money.
The government is of the opinion that
the opening Of those rich provinces
hitherto closed to foreign commerce
would result in much greater benefit
to the nations concerned and to China
herself than the extraction of lump
sums of money.
Regarding Japan's attitude toward
Russia, opinion in Downing street in.
clines to the belief that Japan, In
common with the other powers, Is sat.
isfied with what is termed as Rus.
sia's backdown, but that Japan will
continue to keep sharp eye on Corea
and have no hesitation in threatening
hostilities should Russia menace that
country.
