ALL LOVELY IN CHINA NOW.
Russia Gives In and All Indemnity
Points Are settled.

Washington, July 27.-Contirmation
of the amplest kind of the encouraging
news that has come to the press from
financial problems that have engross-
ed the attention of the ministers there
for many months has just come to
hand from Special Commissioner Rock
hill. Moreover, he adds to the general
items already reported the news that
the ministers will be ready to sign a
protocol within two weeks that will re-
suit in the withdrawal from China of
all foreign troops except the legation
guards and those who will occupy the
certain strategic points to be held un-
der the treaty to safeguard the road
between Pekin and the sea. The ad-
vice is, in substance, as follows:
The Russian government has signi-
fed it's intention of not further press
ing the question at present of the
eventual increase of the import Gus
toms duties beyond per cent, the
present figure. 1t is agreed that in
case the revenues of China are not suf-
ficient for the payment of interest and
principal, the Powers are to examine
the revenues and determine what
changes are necessary in order to sup
ply the deficiency. The imperial mari
time customs are to be included in
this arrangement.
The British minister is satisfied with
this arrangement. and the whole ques-
ton of financial measures is therefore
settled. The 450000,000 taels consti-
tuting the indemnity are to be convert
ed into gold at the equivalent of the
tael value on the first of last April.
In case the import dues are subse-
quently increased, the free list will
have to be abolished except for cereals,
but it is understood that compensation
will in that case be asked for, proba-
bly, the financial participation of China
in improving the water approaches of
Shanghai and Tien Tsin. All the other
principal points of the negotiations are
now settled, and it is expected that
the results will be summarized in the
Tinal protocol within two weeks, and
that all the powers will become sigma
tories"

THE CHALLENGER SAILS.
Shamrock ii Departs for New York
Amid Great Enthusiasm.

Gourock. July 27.-The Shamrock II,
accompanied by the Erin, sailed at
1920 o'clock this morning for New
York. Great enthusiasm was display
ed as the challenger departed,
Captain Sycamore desired to go out
under canvas, as he was favored with
a light easterly wind, sufficient to keep
the flags streaming in the direction the
yachts had to sail. The challenger cut
strange figure with her stunted spars
and scanty canvas as she lay ready to
start. At 10 o'clock Sir Thomas Upton
and Mr.. Watson, designer, boarded her
and few minutes later the challeng-
er's moorings were slipped, her head
sails broken out, and the Shamrock II
started on her voyage across the At
lantic. Thousands of persons gather
ed along the shore and on the pier of
Gourock and greeted the yachts depar-
ture with a great outburst of cheering,
again and again renewed. Hats and
handkerchiefs were waved, guns salut-
ed and steam whistles and sirens
shrieked.
Sir Thomas Upton remained aboard
the challenger until she was off Cum
braes, when he returned on a tug.

BRAVE MEN DIE FOR OTHERS.
Two Lives Lest in Louisville Fire
and others May Die.


Louisville, July 2S.-In a fire which
early this morning destroyed the prop
erty of the Bagley Graham Photograph
Company Max Belovitch, a cigarmak-
er, and Policeman James Purden were
burned to death. in an effort to rescue
women and children who occupied
rooms above the Photographic supply
store. Shortly before midnight ter
rife explosion awoke everybody in the
neighborhood and among the first to
reach the street before the building,
on jefferson street, near Fourth and
adjoining the offices of the Associated
Press, was Max Belovitch, a cigar
maker. living across the street. Hard
ly had the first explosion died away
before he had dashed up the side stairs
in answer to a. woman's screams.
About the time he reached the second
floor he must have fallen for when
picked up, only a few minutes after
ward, his right side was burned to a
crisp. Police officer James Purden was
found on the third floor suffocated,
and seven firemen were taken from the
ruins. some of whom will probably die.
May lie Several Lives Lost.
AT l o'clock 1t is reported that six
or seven lives were lost in the fire. but
this cannot be verified at this hour.
Several are reported missing and may
be in the ruins. The fire spread with
such rapidity that even the fire-fighters
were nonplussed.
When the first crash came there was
nothing but smoke, but in a moment
afterward the place was a Veritable
firetrap from floor to roof. The loss
is about $4,000; incurance unknown.

SAVANNAH WINS AT CHICAGO,

GERMANY'S TARIFF BILL.
VIII BE Strong Opposition to 1t in
Its Present Shape.

Berlin, July 27.-The projected tariff
bill, published yesterday by the Reich
sanzeiger, is the chief topic of discus
sion here to-day. Even the Agrarians
are surprised at the extent to which
the government has complied with
their demands. 1t is not considered at
all likely that the bill will pass in its
present shape Already Der Vorweerts
and the Radical National Liberal or
gans express their determination to
fight the government to a finish. The
Catholic organs in Germany are eau
tious and do not express Opinions. The
comment of the conservative newspa-
pers shows them to be surprised at
the success of their party.
The National Zeitung contends the
government must be sho %n that its
new tariff scheme is in>Smpatible
with the commercial and Z ocial inter
ests of the country, and the bases OF
German political economy.
All signs indicated that heated agi-
tation against the tariff bill will break
out throughout the country.
Socialists Make Big Gains.
The liberal papers say the bill can
only make socialist votes and in this
connection these papers point out the
most recent evidence of the growth
of socialism in the results of two bye
elections held in the Memel district,
in which the Conservatives lost about
2. 900 votes as against their majority of
1898, while the Socialists gained about
the same number In the Duisburg-
Ruhrort district in the elections held
July 25, the Socialists polled $4,000
votes. this being a gain of 100 per cent.
in the last three weeks.

LET AMERICA HAVE HER WAY.
British Newspaper Voices Public
Sentiment in Canal Matter.


London, July 27.-Commenting upon
the interview with Lord Pauncefote,
British ambassador to the United
States, published in the United States
July Is, in which Lord Pauncefote ex-
pressed his belief that a Nicaraguan
canal treaty between Great Britain
and the United States would be signed,
To-day" voices the feeling which has
been gradually growing stronger in
Great Britain that so long as the free
use of the canal be given to all ma
tions it cannot be seen why Great Bri-
tains interests are threatened.
Treaties are not eternal" says To-
Day, land the Clayton Bulwer treaty
was negotiated at a time and under
circumstances very different from to-
day. 1t is not to the interest of Great
Britain to oppose American aspirations
in the matter, seeing it is not
essential that British interests
be jeopardized by a concession of the
American claims, whilst we might be
very great losers by a persistent re-
fUsal to acquiesce therein.
ut is easy enough to understand why
Germany and other continental powers
are doing their best to prevent Eng
land from giving way, but it is much
less easy to see why England should
play into the hands of the continental
Powers by opposing the United States" "

Into the Waters Success in

Philadelphia, July 27-The battleship
Maine, designed to be bigger stronger
and faster than her namesake, whose
shapeless mass lies in the harbor of
Havana, was launched from the yards
OF the William Cramp Ship and En-
gine Building Company. The great
hulls initial dip into the waters of the
Delaware river was a success in every
way. One of the largest crowds that
has ever seen a warship leave the ways
at Cramps yard was on hand and pa
cradle.
Launchings of warships at Cramps
have been so frequent that in late
years such events have lost much of
their attractive power. The presence
of the immense crowd at to-day's chris
tening was largely due to the fact that
the new ship bears the name of the
Inflated Maine. Kensington, the great
industrial section, wherein the ship
yard is located, took a holiday and
attended the launching. Thousands of
persons from other parts of the city
were on hand, and as the yard was
thrown open to the public every want

was beautiful. There was just enough
cool breeze from the river to temper
the warm rays of the sun.
Although the number of invited
guests was not as large as usual there
was a good attendance of naval and
civilian officials.

Navy Long, Admiral Dewey, Captain

The honor of christening the ship
was given to Miss Mary Preble An
derson of Portland, Me, a descendant
of the Preble family that has added

Anderson was the center of interest
and her every movement was closely
followed. At 1925 Miss Anderson step

erected at the bow of the hull. She
was escorted by Henry S. Cramp and

Washington, July 27.-Mr. Carignani,
the charge d'affaires of the Italian en-
bassy, to-day laid before the State De-
partment afIidavits from the Italian
consul general at New Orleans, the
consular agent at Vicksburg, Miss, and
the clerk of the Circuit Court of Wash
inGton county, Mississippi, to establish
the nationality of the two Italians who
were killed at Erwin. Miss. recently.
The establishment of the fact that the
victims of this affair had not been
naturalized was condition precedent
to whatever demands the Italian gov
ernment may see fit to make in the
matter of indemnity and the punish
ment as to the next step to be taken
is now awaiting the reply OF the State
Department to these documents before
communicating with his home govern

1t is safe to say that the Italian gov
ernment will insist upon every effort
being exhausted to find and punish the
guilty. The question of indemnity will
