Tn the police court this afternoon
Charles Hanscomb was charged with
the offense Of falling to report a case
OF smallpox. while having charge Of the
same.
From the testimony Of DR.. King and
Quarantine officer Corefeld 1t was
shown that man named Gray was
afflicted with smallpox and was stay
ing at house on south Second East.
That during his Illness the defendant
waited on him. and when he would

UNITED STATES
INDEMNITY SCHEME,
1t is for China to Pay a Lump Sun-It
Grows in Favor Burden Should
Not be Too Heavy.

Washington, March H,--Another and
later advice from Mr.. Rockhill our
special commissioner at Pekln, Is of
more hopeful tone than those inn
medlately preceding. for II indicates
that the subject of indemnity Is being
discussed with an apparent disposition
to reach a unanimous conclusion,
The United States proposition look
ing TO the agreement OF the powers
on a lump sum for indemnitles, fixed
by the ability of the Chinese ia 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 10 adopt the prin-
ciple of thus guaging the burden to
the strength OF China, they are far
from unanimous as to the method OF
distribution OF this money among them
selves.
SO far, although no less than three
schemes of valuation have been CON
sidered at Pekin, Ii has not been pos
slble to secure the adoption of any
one.
Without displacing the pending
proposition, the United States govern
ment has advanced another and a
radical proposition namely: TO d.
vide the total indemnity colected-say
5000 900. 000--ln eight parts, of which the
United States would receive one. 1t Is
true that ten powers are represented at
Pekin but at least two of them have
no foundation for a claim for indemni-
ty. This suggestion has not been
warmly received by those nations
which claim to have been put to very
much more expense than was the
United States through the Boxer trou-
bles. But the answer to this has been
that in most cases the greater part OF
these expenses viii be absolutely UNI
necessary; that there was no occasion
for the maintenance of large military
forces In China after the fall OF Pc
kin. and equally unnecessary were the
various so-called punitive expeditions
which have been dispatched from Pc
kin at short intervals ever since that
date.
THE AMERICAN PLAN.
Paris, March o. $3.50 D. m.-The
French foreign office has as vet re-
ceived no dispatches abiding TO the
Anglo-French or Anglo Russian trou.
BILE at Tlen Tsn. Officials are there
fore hopeful for conciliatory settle
ment for what they regard as not
being q serious difficulty.
Cablegrains received here from pekin
are very cheerfuI regarding the rapid
progress of negotiations there during
| the past week. The American pro-
| posal to arrange for demanding joint
damages from China is being favorably
discussed by the powers. There APP
pears to be a prospect for the adoption
OF this proposition. although with some
notifications from its original form.
Feeling In Paris favors an agreement.

Bountful. March 2i.--The sorrowful
tidings have reached this town Of the
death of Roy Briggs, the 17-year-old
son Of Ephraim Briggs, of this place.
The accident occurred in well that
young Briggs was digging in Curlew

of the death is not known, but II can
only be one of two things. Either the
wall OF the well caved in or the rope
broke and permitted the BUCKET to fall
onto the head Of the unfortunate

skull. His father, who Is almost dis
tracted with grief, thinks that the lat

was being dug in clay earth and u
