THE EVACUATION OF CHINA
WHY FOREIGN FORCES ARE BEING
LARGELY REDUCED.
Claims of Powers Included Military
Expenses Only to July 1.-The
Negotiations of the Ministers.

The recent large reduction of the foreign
forces in China has caused some surprise
in official quarters, but this reduction is
now accounted for by the terms on which
the indemnity was made up. When each
country put in the amount of it's claim 1t
included an estimate of the military ex-
penses running up to July / next. Thls
was with the idea that 1t will take until
July l to settle the indemnities. With the
indemnity settled. each government will
pay it's own expenses In China after July
1. There is a natural desire therefore to
reduce the cost of military expenses with
in the period covered by the indemnity.
and this has led to the evacuation now
going on. In case the indemnity remains
unsettled on July 1 several of the gov
ernments will submit additional claims
covering their monthly expenses after that
time. These amount to $2,2G0,nO0 a month,
according to the estimate of one of the
government. and in the aggregate they will
reach $4,000, 600 for each month after July
l. 1t is expected that this will have a
strong influence in bringing about a COM
plete agreement before the close of this
month.
The recent exchanges between the cab
inets at Washington and other capitals
have not resulted in any agreement on the
question of indemnity, and the matter is
now committed back to the ministers at
Pekin. 1t is for this reason that yester-
days dispatches from Pekin expressed the
belief that the ministers would reach
settlement within the next ten days. Here
tofore they have been deferring action un-
til the home governments exchanged
views, but now they are again in posses
sion of the subject with a view to reaching
a settlement. if possible, among them
selves. This, and the further fact that the
indemnity estimates expire on July /, lead
to the settled belief among diplomatic Off
cials who taking part in the negotia
tions that July l marks the limit of the
period in which the settlement may be
finally effected On this account the de-
parture from Washington of some of the
foreign representatives, which had been
deferred on account of the negotiations.
has now been definitely fixed for the end
of this month.

ADMIRAL EVANS ENTHUSIASTIC.
Highly Praises the Work of the New
Battle Shin UIinofA.


Admiral Robley D. Evans, head of the
board which conducted the trial of the
battle ship Illinois, is in Washington, and
called at the Navy Department this morn
Ing to pay his respects to Secretary Long
and other naval officials. The admiral is
very enthusiastic ever the record breaking
performance Of the Illinois, and referred es-
pecially to the wonderfully quick and short
turns made by the ship. The Illinois made
a perfect right -about-face within semi
circle. whose radius was estimated at Just
about twice her length. and Admiral Ey-
ans agreed to a suggestion that a horse
and cart could hardly do any better than
that.
Hen engines functioned perfectly and, in
deed, the whole makeup Of the big vessel
worked with that smoothness which re-
suited in a display of the highest speed
yet made by an American battle ship. In
this connection, there is a very strong be-
lief that the Illinois was not by any means
pushed to the full limit Of her powers in
the trial. and naval officers state confident
ly that there was at least three quarters
of a knot more speed In the vessel, and had
she been driven at a top-notch rate all
the way would easily have made a speed
of eighteen knots.
Admiral Evans spoke. in the highest
terms of the services rendered during the
run by ten naval cadets who had been
detailed as additional members OF the trial
board. They performed all that was re-
quired of them in a most satisfactory man
ner he said and by their aptness and eff
cheney reflected great credit upon the Naval
Academy.

Loubet, came away with the best impress
sions of his visit Mr. Henderson said to
the correspondent of the Associated Press:
THE president received US most cordial
ly. We felt as much at home as though
calling on President Mckinley. We found
NJ. Loubet to be a man of charming man.
ners and Of simple, democratic tastes Our
conversation which lasted some time, con-
vfnced me that he is high-minded patriot,
devoting his efforts to the best interests Of
his country His illusions to the United
States showed him to be a sincere admirer
of our country and its institutions, and he
is inspired with cordial sympathy for Prest-
dent Mckinley.
II had previously met M Deschanel
(president of the chamber of deputies), who
was most courteous and enabled me to be
present at a session of the chamber under
his auspices. There was nothing striking
in the session, at which the bill providing
for old age pensions was being discussed,
but 1 had an opportunity Of seeing the
house in a deliberative mood, performing
serious work. M. Deschanet rendered me a
of the chamber during my stay and irvit-
ed myself and wife and Messrs. Gillet and
Field to his reception on Saturday.
Il am going to London June 20. and
thence to Scotland, to revisit my birth
place. in Aberdeenshire, which I left when
a child. 1 shall afterward make tour Of

Norfolk, Portsmouth and Radford will be
conSpiCuOusly represented.
An interesting feature about the canvass
Is the fact that r. S. Parks of Page and
George w. LIE Cato of Northampton, who
are candidates for lieutenant governor,
have been indorsed by their home county
conventions, and the bodies did not indorse
any of the candidates for governor. This
was probably done so that trade Gould
possibly be made in the convention.
1t is a notable fact that wherever Mon
tague appears to address the voters the
Swanson people are anxious to challenge
him for joint debate. Montague refuses
ever since he wrote letter in response
to the letter from a number of leading citi-
zens in which they requested that the joint
debates between the two candidates be
abandoned on the ground that such debates
engendered harsh feelings. aroused per-
sonai antagonism and resulted in much
harm to the unity of the democratic party
in Virginia. Montague. in his letter, agreed
to enter no more joint debates with Swan
son during the campaign.

"NATURE STUDIES"
Dean of the Cornell Faculty Before
the Industrial Commission.

Prof. Isaac P. Roberts, dean Of the fac
ulty of agriculture of Cornell University
talked about Mature Studies before the
Industrial commission today. Prof Roberts
began life as a tarmer-'a plain farmer"
as he said. He has been at Cornell for
about quarter of a century. To show
the demand for young men educated in
agricultural pursuits, he said since last
September he had placed fifty-six students
III lucrative and honorable positions, and
he had demands tor more that he could
not supply. The fact that a great majority
of the students in agriculture actually go
Into agricultural pursuits was shown by
the fact that of the 394 graduates recently
heard from 81 per cent are engaged in ag-
riculture. The work in agriculture at Cor
nell, he said, is divided into three classes
one by means of classes at the university
one by experiments there and elsewhere
and one being an effort to spread agricul-
tural knowledge throughout the state.

DEAD IN HIS ARMOR.

Work in East River.

NEW YORK, June 14.-Martin Anderson,
a professional diver. lost his lift while
at work in the East river today. At the
foot of East 26th street the government
is removing ledge of rock from the bottom
of the river.
Anderson went down to clean out some
blast holes which had been cut in the rock
and to place dynamite cartridges in the
drill holes. While he was at the bottom
of the river the air machine connections
became clogged. and although the men at
the air pumps kept up the work of pump
ing they failed to supply the diver with
air. When the bumpers found they could
get no response to their signals they drew
Anderson to the surface. When he was
hauled to the deck and the diving suit
opened it was found that Anderson was
dead
The contractor, George Rogers, was ar
rested and was remanded to the custody
of the coroner. Rogers told the magistrate
that the pumps appeared to be working
all right. and that he was unable to ac-
count for the accident.

THE FUTURE OF AMERICA.
Representative BOuteIl Explains His
Recent Prediction to Expansion.

Recent Prediction as to Expansion.
Representative Boutell of Chicago was at
the State Department today in connection
with the trip of his son to Germany. Mr.
Boutell said afterward as to his recent in
terview In The Star, which has attracted
widespread attention predicting the ulti-
mate establishment of federal union Of
all the countries Of North America that
HIS statement had been made informally
and had been somewhat misapprehended.
1t had no reference to any present idea of
expansion, but was a statement of what
might be expected from the historical de-
velopment of the United States since 1873,
when this nation consisted of only thirteen
states with a population of about 10000
persons. Since then there has been grad
ual and natural extension of American
territory, including Louisiana and east and
west Florida, for the purpose of acquiring
the great river systems, and then Texas,
California and Alaska. Mr.. BouteH said
that quite apart from any political aspect
of these acquisitions, they indicated nat
ural tendency, much like the law OF graVi-
tation which might be termed chronological
growth. 1t was with this idea in mind
that he had spoken Of the further natural
development of this movement, until there
was a union of all North America. This,
however. was without any idea that the
United States would seek to assimilate and
dominate all of the countries of the north
ern continent, but simply that through nat
ural growth they would be brought to-
gether in a common union. In this cOnnec-
ton Mr.. BOutell referred to the fact that
the articles of confederation contained
provision by which Canada might come In
with the other American colonies, indicat-
ing that even in that day this ultimate
growth was foreseen.

governor of Shan Tung province, and his
hostile attitude to foreigners was so pro-
