CHINESE AFFAIRS
WASHINGTON ENDEAvoRING To
ARRANGE MATTERS.
TOO MUCH DELAY IN PEKlN.
POWERS MAY DEMAND ENORMOUS
INDEMNITIES.

Large BilI-Russia Seems to BE
Has Already Promulgated ReguIR-
tiOns for Administration of AZ
fairs Notwithstanding Her Prom
Use to Vacate.
Washington, Jan. 4.-The State Depart
ment is making a strong effort to secure
an understanding among the Powers 10
serve as basis for the adjustment of the
question of indemnity to be paid by the
Chinese government.
1t appears from Mr.. Conger's report
that it is hopeless to expect the foreign
ministers at Pekin to reach an agreement
on this important subject, and if the prob
lem is to be solved at ALL it must be
removed from the Pelxin council, and dealt
With by direct diplomatic exchange.
Therefore, the State Department is in cor
respondence with other foreign offices, but
the negotiations have not reached a point
where a successful termination is in sight
The principal difficulty is believed to be
the enormous indemnities demanded by
some of the Powers. The Chinese efforts
to secure better terms, which tend to
protract the negotiations, probably will
add considerably to the sum total This
is because the expense of maintaining the
foreign military establishments in China
probably will be assessed against
the Chinese government, and the
cost of keeping foreign troops
;,, Dalys
and in a country where every necessity
of life has to be imported from a dis
tance, will make the bill very heavy 1t
is believed that the bill of Germany will
be by far the largest. and it is a signif-
can't fact that the German government
has allowed its officers on service in
China five-fold their regular salaries, an
Unprecedented rate, which the Chinese
are expected to pay for.
A series of regulations has been promul-
gated by the Russian government for the
administration of affairs in Manchuria
which would seem to the officials here to
warrant an apprehension that a perma-
nent occupation of that territory with
its population of twenty millians is con-
templated 1t is believed that some rep
reservations either have been or will be
made on the subject to the Powers. Wher
the Russian government announced it
intention to withdraw its troops from
Pekin, 1t also solemnly declared that 'as
soon as lasting order shall have beer
established in Manchuria, and indispen
sable measures taken for the protection
of railway construction, which accord
ing to formal agreement China assured
Russia will not fail to withdraw heI
troops from these territories of the neigh
boring empire, provided the action of the
Powers does not place any obstacle in the
way of such a measure
Russian representatives here contend
that the conditions laid down in this
pledge have not yet been realized, and
they insist that there is nothing in the
published regulations which would war;
rant the assumption that Russia is not
acting in perfect good faith in this mat
ter To clear up any doubt that may re-
main on this point, however, it is proba-
BILE that an explicit official declaration
from Russia will be invited on this point.

FILIPINO MATTERS.
Judge Tnffs Opinion on San Jose
College Case FiIipinOs to BE
Heard on school Question.

Manila, Jan. 4.--Judge Tafts written
opinion of the San Jose College case was
considered and Endorsed by the Philip
pine Commission this afternoon. It win
be made public tomorrow.
The enactment of the school bill has
been deferred on account of the desire
of the Fllipinos to be heard on the bill,
as completed. 1t differs radically from
the one prepared by Superintendent At
kinson and indorsed by Gen. Macarthur
The latter appropriated $1,65o,oOO outright
to be disbursed through Mr.. Atkinson un-
der the supervision of Gen. Macarthur.
The completed bill directly aporopriates
only $4,000, and reserves to the commits
sion authority over plans for school
houses and also requires Mr. Atkinson to
report 20 both Gen. Macarthur and the
commission.
