NEW BRITAIN DOCTORS.
Members of One Society Extended
 Olive Branch to Other.

New Britain. Dec .12.-The members Of the New Britain Medical society have extended an olive branch to their brethern in the profession known as the Society of Regular Physicians. The two societies have been at odds for upwards of year, in fact ever since the split i'll the old organization took place. There was trouble over the furniture and it was replevined from the new society in the name of the older physicians. Since then il has been in storage. The Dr Holmes faction have passed resolution cali ing off all litigation provided the other society returns the furniture and pays the costs. It Is not probable that this will be done by the other faction.

ARE WELL PLEASED
Foreign Ministers Satisfied with
China's Acceptance of In
IDENTITY Terms.

Pekin, May 31.-China's uncondi-
tional acceptance OF $50, DOC, 600 tales
as indemnity to be paid the powers
has caused great satisfaction among
foreign ministers. as it only leaves,
practically. a few minor details to
complete negotiations. The phrase in
the joint note "to the satisfaction of
pthe powers subject" may u some
delay in the evacuation Of Chinese
territory, as the ministers fail to see
how China can guarantee payment
and as all ministers believe it would
be a mistake to have a large body of
foreign officials collecting the reve
nue.. Were the thus collect
ed, over 1900 officials would be re-
quired and the aggregate salaries of
these men would be very large, and
amount to more thar an ordinary
Chinese squeeze"
The majority of the ministers now
favor raising customs to 10 per cent
and taking 5000, 900 tales yearly from
the likin tax. This method would
| give, after payment of interest on
the foreign debts now existing, about
%, 200, 900 taels a year. The ministers
would agree to this if China will dis.
continue collection of all likin duties
on foreign goods.

BOOKED FOR ANOTHER DIP
LOMATIC POSITION.
Russell STILL AT CARACAS
President Disinclined to Expose
ambassador to Further At
tack from Venezuelans.

Washington, May Silt is official
not return to Venezuela. There are
two reasons for this decision. In the
first place, MI. Loomis has suffered in
health at his u~ncongenial post, and in
the second place, the president is not
disposed to expose him again to the
merciless attacks he has suffered in
Venezuela as a result of the execu-
ton of orders of the state depart
ment.
Mr.. Loomis. who is now in Europe
seeking to recuperate, will be given
another diplomatic position as soon
as a suitable place can be found.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Russell will remain
in charge of the United States lega-
ton at Caracas for a period of time
not yet determined upon, but which
may be fixed by the attitude of the
Venezuelan government.
It is not the present intention of
the government to take official notice
Of the criticisms passed by President
Castro of Venezuela upon Minister
Loomis, as contained in newspaper
interviews. The officials cannot
bring themselves to believe that the
president of Venezuela would willing
ly reflect upon the personal character
of the minister Of another govern
ment, who, according to official state
ments made by this government, acted
by explicit directions of his OWE gov
eminent in the matters which formed
the subject of the criticism. There.
fore, it is probable that our govern
ment will be satisfied for the moment,
and in the absence of further unto
ward developments, with official dis.
closures.
