CHlNA'S INDEMNITY.
Little to Be Gained BY Insisting
on Cash Payments.
AMERICANS IN A ROBBER BAND.
Tho German Press on America's Opposition
to German Claims-The Amount That
Can He Squeezed Out Of
China.

London, April 13.-Great Britain
has not yet definitely estimated the
money indemnity she desires China
to pay. A representative Of the Asso-
ciated press Is informed that the gov
eminent adheres to the belief that
little can be gained by insisting upon
cash payments from China, and,
though the government regrets that
this will possibly be cause for de-
lay, it continues to instruct the Brit
ish minister to China, Sir Ernest Sa-
tow, to try to induce the powers to
agree to demand for greater trad
Ing privileges instead Of money. The
government is Of the opinion that the
opening Of those rich provinces hith-
erto closed to foreign commerce will
result in much greater benefit to the
nations concerned, and to China her.
self, than the extraction Of lump sums
Of money.
Regarding Japan's attitude towards
Russia, opinion in Downing street in
clines to the belief that Japan, in
common with the other powers, Is
satisfied with what is termed as Rus
sia's Breakdown" but that Japan will
continue to keep sharp eye on Corea
and have no hesitation in threaten
ing hostilities should Russia menace
that country.
Americas Opposition to German Claims.
Berlin, April 13.-According to a
dispatch from Pekin dated Thurs
day to the Kolnische Zeitung, a rob-
Der band of four Americans and four
Chinese were recently captured by a
German outpost at Tung Kia Flu. west
Of Tien Tsin.
In high official circles in Berlin the
reports published in the American
press to the effect that the Washing
ton government is opposing Ger
many's claims for Chinese indemnity
are described as erroneous. "The
American government knows perfect
ly WE'LL" said an important official
yesterday, that the claims filed by
Germany and Great Britain are much
smaller than those of some other
powers. 1t is also understood that
DR.. Stuebel director of the colonial
department of the German foreign
office) effected an agreement during
his recent visit in London whereby
both governments will lump the
claims of their citizens, carefully ex-
anime them and then apportion the
total amount among the claimants"
What Can BE Squeezed Out Of China.
Pekin, April 13.-The committee Of
ministers which is considering China's
financial resources has reached the
conclusion, based upon what informa-
ton is thus far obtainable, that $780,
100000 in gold can be raised without
injuring China's resources.

Children

Have ceyes bigger than their stomachs,"
according to an old saying. They over.
eat themselves, and are tempted by all
sorts Of injurious and indigestible edi-
bles. As a consequence the foundation
Of serious stomach trouble is often laid
In childhood.
For children with vweak" digestion or
whose stomachs are diseased, Doctor
Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery may
be confidently recommended. 1t cures
diseases Of the stomach and other organs
Of digestion and nutrition, so that the
uourishment contained in food is per-
fectly assimilated and the puny child IS
built up by food into a condition Of
robust health.
Dr.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
contains neither alcohol nor narcotics.
Accept no substitute for Golden Med
icsl Discovery" There is nothing "just
q good for diseases Of the stomach and
other organs Of digestion and nutrition.
Mrs.. Ella Gardner Of Waterview, Mddiesex
Co, va, writes: uMy little daughter Is enjoying
splendid health, am glad found doctor
Who could cure my child, Whenever she iees

CATHOLIC COLLEGES.
A Declaration Of Their Position on
the Subject Of Education.
PROTEST AGAINST UNFAIR LAWS.


Chicago, April ia declaration OF
the Catholic position on education in
the United States was adopted yester-
day at the closing session of the ma
tional conference Of the Association
of Catholic colleges. The resolu.
tions comprising the declaration re-
ceived the unanimous assent OF the
representatives Of the 10 different
colleges-practically the entire col
legiate system of the Catholic church
in America. The delegates on i'd
journing were enthusiastic over the
results of their labors, feeling conf
dent that the conference has been a
marked success. A summary of the
declaration adopted is as follows:
The tendency Of educational legisla.
ton shows systematic and well de-
fined effort in certain quarters 70
abolish state control in education,
thereby threatening and crippling all
private educational effort, thus de.
priving a large class of the citizens
Of the liberty Of maintaining schools
in which their religion shall be made
an essential element; legislators are
reminded Of the rights Of conscience
guaranteed by American citizenship
and their attention is called to the
system Of schools which Catholics
have maintained at great expense and
sacrifice; a protest is made against
unfair and unjust determinations re.
sulting from much of the educational
legislation, and an appeal is made
TO the fair-mindedness and sense Of
justice of the American people FOR
protection from such illiberality.
Words of cheer from across the sen
were received by the conference in
the form Of a cablegram of congratu-
lation from Pope Leo XIII. at Rome.
The message read as follows: "The
holy father thanks you for the good
wishes expressed by you in the name
OF the conference of Catholic c)l-
leges and bestows most heartily the
apostolic benediction." The cable
gram was in answer to a message
which the convention sent TO the pope
when 1t convened
Great interest attached to the clos
ing address of the president Of the
conference, Mgr. Conaty, Of Washing
ton. lie said
"Thc keynote Of this conference is
organization -- unifcation. Let our
watchword be, the Catholic system Of
education for our people-no link
missing in the golden chain which
binds mind and heart to the great
truth of God. Our schools, our col
leges, our university, the safeguard NJ
our conscience, the protection Of our
liberties, the guardian OF our knowl-
edge, the ennobling Of our citizen
ship. May God bless our work and
our country honor our sacrifices In
the cause of Christian education"
