The Navy Department has approved
plans for a change of construction of the
new armored cruisers and battle ships. AS
originally planned the bottom floor of the
hull was nearly fiat with heavy wood
keel for docking purposes. The new plan
rounds the lower part of the hull and does
away with the wooden keel. The only pur-
pose of the keel was to serve in docking,
and that will be replaced by steel rub

ANENT CHINA'S OFFER
Foreign Ministers at Pekin Differ as
to Terms.
One SAYS IT is RIDICULOUS
Thinks the Powers Should Exact
the Last Centime.
VIEWS OF SOME OTHERS 5

PEKIN, May 15.-The foreign ministers
refuse to allow themselves to be quoted for
publication regarding the Chinese govern
ment's answer to the indemnity demand,
but three of .hem gave expression to their
personal views of the matter.
One of these said he never expected the
Chinese to agree to the demand without
arguing even had the total been only ten
millions. He considers the Chinese offer
of L., 100000 tae1s annually for thirty years
absurd and ridiculous, and thinks the re-
quest that 1000, 900 be given them from the
foreign customs borders upon insolence
The powers he believes, will make mis-
take If they do not exact the utmost CEN
time
Another says no matter what China says
whatever the powers decide upon will have
to be agreed to eventually.
third expresses himself as satisfied
that majority of the powers will agree
to reduce the demands in accordance with

Important Point Involved.

BERLIN, May 1J.-Officials here, discuss
ing the answer of the Chinese peace COM
missioners, say the fact of prime signiti-
canoe therein is that the commissioners
agree to the indemnities demanded, and
the withdrawal of the troops can now pro-
ceed forthwith. but that not all the for
eisn forces will be withdrawn at once.
The Chinese proposition TO raise the i'm
port and export duties will probably be ac-
cepted, since the only other possibility OF
Increasing Chinas revenues is the reform
of the liken duties. which the powers par
ticularly wish to avoid, because it would
require too much mixing in the internal
affairs of China. Further international con-
troll over the customs will be unnecessary
beyond Sir Robert Hafts.
The prolOngation of the payments to
thirty years Will probably he accepted.
Germany appears favorably disposed
thereto.
The request for reduction Of the in
IDENTITIES will still be discussed by the
ministers at Pekin who must first get the
instructions of their governments. 1t Is
anticipated here that other nations will
make stronger objections to reduction
than Germany, which appears to be willing
to reduce the amount if it is seen China is
unable to pay all.

IN JULY AND DECEMBER.

On the 10th Of July Governor
Davis made a public statement to
the people of the state Of Arkan-
sas, in which he declined to be-
come a candidate for United
States Senator, giving as a rea-
son that he owed a duty to the
state which he could not neglect.
To use his own language, with
his "election came grave duties
and responsibilities of which he
was not unmindful and to the
faithful performance Of which he
would devote his entire energies"
In that letter Gov. Davis said:
my term as governor has scarce
ly begun, and to enter this con-
test for the senatorship at this
time would require the sacrifice
of public duty to crafty personal
ambition and-I feel that | owe a
duty to my state thai is above
and beyond any personal ambi-
ton" This was the governors
idea of duty to the public in July,
but mark how soon a change
came over the spirit Of his dreams,
In December he is traipsing all
over the state making speeches
for another man, neglecting his
duties and leaving his office to
the care of subordinates. Not to
crafty "a personal ambition, "
but out of malice, if we are to be-
lieve the dog story, or to carry
out his part Of a political combine
if we are to look at his action in a
mere charitable light. All his
obligations to the public have
apparently been forgotten and
he has plunged into the senator
ial contest with a reckless aban-
don which is well calculated to
surprise and grieye the people
who accepted his first statement
in good faith.-Arkansas Demo-
