SHAVE cLAI1 AdAIsT CHINA.
Powers by Cooperating May Bring
Hasty Termination TO Trouble.

Washington, d. c., April IL
The cabinet at its meeting yester.
day gave attention TO the subject
Of indemnity to be required OF
China, it being brought forward
by Secretary Hay in connection
with Mr.. Rockhills dispatches,
received since the last meeting
Great surprise was expressed at
the enormous total Of the claims,
which, being all before the minis
ters at Peking, approximate the
vast sum Of a half billion dollars
Moreover, at least one Of the pow
ers insists on keeping the account
open until it elects to withdraw en-
tirely from Peking at a remote
date, 10 be fixed at its own will,
thereby leaving the total Of its
claim to be increased greatly here
after. The opinion Of the other
cabinet officers completely accord
el with that Of Secretary Hay as
to the desirability Of securing a
reduction of the claims.
The United States government
has felt that on no account should
the total indemnity claim exceed
1000, 600 pounds sterling, and
has steadfastly sought to make
that figure the outside line Of the
claim. For itself the state de-
partment claims $25, 100000 in.
demnity, and it has supplied Mr.
Rockhill with data for the presen-
tation of an itemized account,
showing the expenditures made by
the government of the United
States for transportation of our
military contingency to China, its
maintenance there, and the Just
claims of the missionaries who
were American citizens aud suf-
fered in property and personal
loss from the boxer outbreak.
In its anxiety to avoid oppress-
ing China and to secure a speedy
settlement of the Chinese question
the United States government
stands willing to make a heavy
cut in its claim, provided other
nations represented at Pekin will
abate their claims in proportion.
It is entirely possible that if Mr.,
Rockhlll can induce the other min.
listers to make cut of 80 per
cent. in their indemnity claims he
will do so, though the apparent re.
suit be the loss to the United
States of 81, 500. 600.

His oratory was wonderful. with cy-

His exploits us a travelling lecturer
were tremendous. One day he would
