the Chinese Government has issued an
edict- agreeing to pay an indemnity Of
40, 000 taels, OF $3l5.o14 el5 tpresont val
ue), has been received at the State De
partment- There now remains to be set
tied only the question OF how the money
shall be raised and paid.
This Government remains firmly opposed
TO Russia's suggestion that China issue
bonds to be guaranteed jointly by the
Powers, and W y. RockhiIl. the Special
American Commissioner. has instructions
to urge upon his diplomatic associates at
Pekin that the bonds be issued by China
and turned over 10 the Powers in proDor-
ton to the amount Of the claims Of each
the individual nations to dispose Of them
as they see fit
It is learned that China's prompt agree
ment to pay the indemnity was the result
Of the fact that the military expenses Of
the Powers amount to about 100000 a
day, which means an increase in the in
demnity Of 100000 q month The 80
600 taeIs which China has agreed to
pay represent the amount Of the indernri-
ty month ago, but is believed not to
include all the military expenses Of some
Of the Powers

Chinese Court Wants Public Build
ings Returned.

BY Exclusive Wire from The Associated Press.
Pekin, March 7.--Chinese here, who
are in correspondence with Sian-fu,
say the court intends to remain in the
interior. either at Sian-fu or some
other point, unless the principal public
buildings in Pekin are returned to
China and declared outside of the le-
cation district, and also until reason
able legation guards are the only for
eign troops left in Peltin. They say
the court Is under no compulsion to
return to Pekin according to the terms
OF the agreement with the ministers
of the powers.
The feeling Is prevalent in Pekin that
the Germans are acting in too high
handed manner and a majority of
the generals under Count Won Walder-
see agree with General Chaffee's reply
to the counts plan of evacuation that
the Chinese are not sufficiently con-
sidered and that they should guard the
railroad, except from Pekin to Tien-
Tsin. General Gaselee thinks that the
| Chinese should control with foreign as
! sistance.
