TIE CHINESE INDEMNITY.


Washington, May A.-Mr. Rockhill
has confirmed the news from Pekin
to the effect that the foreign minis
tiers have declined to accede to the
suggestion Of the United States that
the total Of the indemnity to be COL
lected from China shall be limited to
$500, 100000. 1t is expected that he
will continue his efforts in the direc-
ton of keeping down the maximum
Of claims, even while abandoning, for
the sake Of harmony, the figure
named, and it is believed that the
outcome will be compromise upon
q figure between $500, 900 and the
maximum of $337,OOO,OOO, claimed by
the powers. In the effort to keep
down the total Mr.. Rockhill looks for
support to the estimates submitted
by Sir Ernest Satow, the British min
lister at Pekin, and Sir Robert Hart,
commissioner Of imperial customs,
whose report upon the ability Of the
Chinese to pay an indemnity of about

The Presidential Train Yesterday
Travsrsed the State Of Nevada.
mrs. I'EINLEY BEARING UP WELL.
The Day Aboard the Train Sunday Passed
Without Incident-The President and
His Cabinet Considering the Chi.
nese Question,

Ogden, Utah, May 27.-The presi.
dental train traversed the state of
Nevada yesterday and reached Ogden
at $3.50 o'clock last night. The route
lay along the Humboldt river, through
the Ruby and Wasateh mountains,
and then descended into the Salt Lake
basin. During most of the day the
elevation exceeded 5000 feet and
snow-clad peaks were continually in
sight from the car windows. At this
season of the year the ride across
Nevada is exceedingly disagreeable
The heat is oppressive and the dust
from the desert is frequently blind
ing. Fortunately for Mrs. Mckinley
one of those heavy transforms which
SO rarely visit this region swept COM
pletely over the state Saturday night,
laying the dust and tempering the at
mosphere. It rained also several
times during yesterday. The weather
seemed almost like special inteEen-
ton Of Providence for the benefit of
the gentle sufferer. Mrs. Mckinley
had passed comfortable night cross
ing the Sierras Saturday night, but
the trip yesterday was looked for
ward to with some apprehension. The
rain, however, relieved the anxiety,
and DR.. Rixey reported last night
that Mrs. Mckinley was standing the
trip very well. She suffered no in
convenience from the rarifed atmos-
phere. The day aboard the train was
passed without incident. The presi-
dent makes it a rule ordinarily not to
travel on Sunday, but the present
circumstances were so exceptional
that he hid his compunctions in order
that his wife might the sooner reach
home.
No services were held aboard the
train but the president and the mem
bers of the cabinet kept quietly to
their rooms the major portion of the
day. Once or twice when the train
stopped for water they alighted to
stretch their limbs. At Carlin early
yesterday morning the president
shook hands with some Of the peo-,
Pile who had gathered there, among
them number of Digger Indians who
live in the neighboring mountains.
Chicago, according to the present
schedule, will be reached Tuesday
afternoon and the train is expected
to arrive at Washington Wednesday
night.
On the way back to Washington

cabinet are devoting a good deal of
time to the consideration Of the Chi
ncse situation The declnation Of

ment was right in protesting against
exactions which might force China

taken by the United States. there will
