THE AMBASSADORS CONFER.
The Form of Paying the Chinese Indemnity is
Discussed
(By the Associated Press.l


Washington June 6.-The Ambassa-
doris from most of the European coun-
tries were in conference with Secretary
Hay today, mainly because it was diplo-
matte day, which afforded an opportun
ity for discussing the state of the Chi.
nese negotiations. 1t is understood
that the middle ground, or modus Vi
vendi, as it is being referred to, con-
corning the forms of paying the indem-
nifty, is likely to be settled by a joint
and several guaranty. This will be i'll
compliance with the American view that
there should be no joint guaranty, in the
sense of binding each Government to
securing the payment of the entire $780,
600, 900.
1t will be joint, however, in the for
NAL aspect of being executed by all of
the powers jointly at the same time
and probably by the same instrument
This instrument doubtless will include
a provision by which each government
is to assume no liability beyond the
amount of it's own share of the indem-
nifty, which in the case of the United
States is limited to $25,000,000. In an
swer to this inquiry, Special Commits
sioner Rockhill, at Pekin, has been re-
Gently informed that the United States
Government has not taken any steps re-
Gently looking toward the abatement
of it's claims for indemnity against
China by one half, regardless of the
action of others powers

SUIT AGAINST MRS EDDY LOST.
Mrs Woodbury's Counsel Say They'll Garry
the Case to The Supreme Court.
(Ry die Associated Press.l


Boston, June ST. have examined this
libel with great care, both while the ar
gumcnts were going on and during the
trial. ] think the plaintiff has sustained
her case, as | have already intimated
upon the matter of publication. AS re-
CARDS the publication, in the church, there
is no evidence that anyone there under
stood the alleged libel as applying to the
plaintiff, so that she could not recover
damages upon this court, because she had
shown no Injury from it.
Taking the libel itself l see nothing
which can in any fair way be said to in
dictate the plaintiff in the first part of
the libel. The only thing in the libel, it
seems to me. which can by any reasonable
Interpretation be said to serve as means
of Identification, are the words widow,
and 'widowhood, which occur in the latter
part of the message.
II have come to the conclusion that
even that reference does not absolutely
identify the plaintiff and it seems to me
that the plaintiff has not made out case
here which l can let go to the jury. /
shall therefore be obliged to order
verdict for the defendant"
With these words in the Superior court,
Judge Charles U. Bell this afternoon
brought to a sudden and unexpected end
the famous $50, 900 libel suit, brought by
Mrs. Josephine Curtis Woodbury., of Bos-
ton, against the Rev. Mary Baker G. Ed
dy, of Concord, N. H., the founder and
present head of the Christian Science
church.
few minutes later the jury which
had been excluded while arguments were
being made was summoned into the court
room. After explaining briefly the cause
for this course Judge Bell ordered the
jury to find for the defendant which it
accordingly did in the usual form.
Counsel for Mrs Woodbury. filed ex-
ceptions on all tine questions passed upon.
They have not yet decided upon definite
course of action but authorized it to be
stated that they expect to carry the case
to the Supreme Court.
