AGAIN URGES ARBITRATION.
U.ited states Appeals to Powers 70
Submit Indemnity Question TO
The Hague Tribunal.

Washington, June 10.-The United
States government has again appealed
to the powers to submit the present
issues at Picking over the indemnity
propositions to the arbitration of The
Hague tribunal. Mr.. Rockhill, who
has been watching for an opportunity,
cabled Secretary Hay Friday night for
permission to make a proposition and
the secretary Saturday morning
cabled him authority to do so.
In resubmitting this proposal the
United States special commissioners,
Mr.. Rockhill, has practically con-
fessed that little progress of inn
portance has been made in reaching
a solution of this vexatious feature
| of the Chinese negotiations. In fact.
1t is positively known that instead of
the powers having determined upon
1897, 0O0, 900 as the amount of their
claims, as has all along been believed,
they are still far from an agreement
on this point. It is also stated that
no agreement has been reached re-
garding the method China shall be re-
quired to adopt to satisfy the claims
OF the powers. The indemnity ques-
ton may therefore be regarded as be-
ing in the same stage it was when it's
consideration first began. 1t may be
that some of the powers propose to
submit larger claims than hitherto
reported.
The United States will strenuously
oppose such action. Mr.. Rockhill de-
sired to avoid further breakers upon
which the negotiations might be
wrecked by securing the reference of
the whole question to The Hague.
bad the suggestion been adopted
when first advocated it is believed
in, Washington that a settlement of
the Chinese trouble would have been
reached before the present time. 1t
is feared here that Germany and 9th
er powers which have large claims
and desire continuance of present
conditions in China will not cease
their opposition to the adoption Of
the amount of cash.
Shanghai, June 10.-An imperial
edict issued June announces that,
owing to the hot weather and the adj
vanced age of the dowager empress,
the return of the court to Picking has
been postponed until September L,
which the astrologers pronounce to be
a lucky day on which to commence a
journey.
Picking. June 1O.--All of the foreign
troops, with the exception of the le-
CATION guards, are expected to with
draw ere the middle of September. the
only troops not already under orders
of withdrawal being the Japanese,
whose governme mt is sending reliefs.
1t is said, however, at the Japanese le-
CATION that when Japan is absolutely
certain the other powers are evacuat-
ing, her own troops can be withdrawn
on two days notice. Gen. voyron. the
French commander, has instructions
to leave one brigade for service in
China. and the French transports are
en- route. The British will have COM
pleted their departure by the end Of
September. ten transports making two
journeys to India.
