Manti Jan. 27.-Owing to brisk wind

hoppers from the Ephraim fields. In

SO far as the present invasion is con

Question Of Chinese Indemnity Is
Settled by the Powers.
Washington, July DENOMINATION
of the ampIest kind of the encouraging
news that has come to the press from
Pekin relative to the settlement of the
financial problems that have engrossed
the attention of the ministers there for
many months. has just come to hand
from Special Commissioner Roekhin.
Moreover, he adds to the general items
already reported, the news that the
ministers viii be ready to sign proto-
col within two weeks that will result
in the speedy withdrawal from China
of all foreign troops except the legation
guards and those who win occupy the
certain strategic points to be held IN
der the treaty to safeguard the road
between Pekin and the sea. The ad-
vice is. in substance, as follows:
The Russian government has signified
its intention of not further pressing the
question at present Of the eventual in
crease of the import customs duties be-
yond per cent (the present fgure). It
is agreed that in case the revenues Of
China are not sufficient for the pay
ment of interest and principal, the pow
eTs are to examine the revenues and
determine what changes are necessary
in order to supply the deficiency. The
imperial maritime customs are to be in
Guided in this arrangement.
The British minister is satisfied with
this arrangement, and the whole ques-
ton of financial measures is, there
fore, settled. The $4,000, 600 taels con-
stituting the indemnity are to he con-
verted nto gold al the equivalent of the
tael value on the first Of last April In
case the import duties are subsequently,
increased, the free list viii have 10 be
abolished. except for cereals, but it is
understood that compensation WILL in
that case, be asked for. All the princi-
pal points Of the negotiations are now
settled, and il is expected that the re-
suits will be summarized in the final
protocol within Two weeks, and that all
the powers viii become signatories.
In connection with the indemnity
payments, a question has arisen
whether the United States government
Will take its share TO be Issued by
China in American gold or in pounds
sterling. The disposition OF this gov
eminent is to take the bonds in the
form that will be the least to the Chi
nese government, and in the interest
of uniformity it is probable that the
payments VIII be paid in pounds ster-
ling.

INCREASED WATER FLOW.
Twelve Million Gallons Daily From
Parley's Canyon.

dI16y > canyon.
The increased flow of water from
Parley's canyon is a source of extreme
grati6ca ton to Land and Water Com
missioner Westerfield- who late on Fri
day night completed the task Of turn
ing in the main channel all the water
that since early in the spring has been
flowing over the city's ranch lands on
the bench in the canyon.
1t was not until Commissioner West
erfield took measurements that the di-
meESi2ns Of the increase were appreci-
ated fully. On Friday. before the sup
ply to the irrigating Gitehes in the
canyon was cut Off, Parley's was dow-
ing at the rate of 6,372, 600 gallons every
tWenty-fOUr hours, which was ], 217000
gallons less than a week ago. Last
night the flow was 12.014,000 gallons.
and there is every reason to believe
that it viii not greatly diminish dur
ing the remainder of this season. A
year ago Parley's was flowing only at
the rate of 4206, 0l0 gallons daily The
city takes so per cent Of the normal
flow of Parley's creek and all of the
flow acquired by purchase from the
canyon rancheTs. City Creek is flowing
now at the rate of about 100000 gal
I Ions daily.
