WANTS TIME EXTENDED.
ee5pe Fixes Interest ana Ask. That
Indemnity InstallmentsR Run
for Forty Years..

Picking, May 31.-Another edict has
been issued by the throne and has
been received here in regard to the
payment of the indemnities. China
consents to the payment of four per
cent. interest per annum but asks
that the payments run for term
of 40 years instead of 80, as hereto
fore agreed upon by the ministers.
The ministers are anxious that the
indemnity question shall be settled
in order that they may take up the
trade questions and regulations,
which will require protracted investi-
cation. These Investigations will not
be taken up for the purpose of Sc
curing additional favors from China
as part of the financial compensation,
but to settle all the points in the
protocol and give the court no ex-
cuse for not returning to Peking. The
questions of reform in the govern
ment can be discussed subsequently.
Washington, June 1.-The United
States through the state department
has politely declined request made
by France and Russia that this gov
eminent join with the other powers
in guaranteeing loan of 1887, oo0, 900
for China so that that empire may
proceed to pay the indemnities set
tied upon by the several powers with
out loss of time. The amount due
the United States government is ap-
proximately $25,O0O, 900.

FIVE THIEVES ARE LYNDB[D|
Stockmen at Lookout, CAL, Hang
Men Charged with Petty Lar
ceny to a Bridge.
TAKE 1REn FROM JAIL At nlDMenT.


SuSanvllle, CAL, june Live
thieves were lynched at midnight at
] Lookout, Modoc county, a district
which has always been noted for
quiet and good order. The lynching
was done by so small stock raisers,
but none of the vigilantes were
identified by the constables and his
one assistant, whom they overpow-
cred.
Calvin Hall, aged u, his three half
bred sons. Frank, aged 90; Jim, aged
10, and Martin, aged 16, ands Dan
.Yantis, aged ~, were the victims.
Stolen Articles Found.
The charge against Halls sons and
Yantis was burglary, while against
Hall it was petty larceny. Many
small articles had been missed re-
Gently, among others hay forks, barb
wire and harness. These were found
in Halls house, along with halters,
dishes and table cloths. All five
were arrested and taken to Adm, the
county seat of Modoc county, and
placed in charge of the constable and
one guard.
Taken from jail.
Fifty masked men, heavily armed,
took the prisoners from jail soon
after midnight and within few min
utes the five bodies were hanging
from bridge near the Jail. The
vigilantes quietly assembled before
the building where the victims were
confined and there was little indica-
ton of organization or leadership.
Inside the building Hall and his sons
were quietly sleeping. One of the
constables in charge Of the men was
called to the door, and as he opened
it he was quickly seized and rush
made for the prisoners. No oppose
tion was encountered and the men
were quickly hurried to the open air.
Halls youngest son made desper-
ate struggle and was killed before
the bridge was reached.
No Mercy Shown.
Old man Hall was the first one
strung up. NO ceremony marked the
action. The rope was simply thrown
around his neck and 20 willing hands
grasped it and jerked the unfortunate
man from his feet. The loose end
was tied to a convenient fence post
and the victim, with his hands and
feet tied, was left to strangle. The
execution of the other men was prac-
tically a repetition of that of the
elder Hall.
Scene of the Tragedy.
Lookout is in the Hot Springs val
ley on the Pitt river. The residents
are nearly all cattle raisers in mod
crate circumstances. Several weeks
ago Sheriff Hager, of Modoc county,
was killed by his team running away
and since that time there have been
many breaches Of the law in that
locality. Hager was terror to the
rustlers and had succeeded in the
years he held office of sheriff in eff
fectually suppressing thieves, who
in the past had preyed upon the cat
tie of the ranchers.
AS soon as the lynching was dis
covered word was telegraphed to the
