THE CHINESE QUESTION.
Foreign Ministers Discuss the Indemnity
Question Likelihood OF u Menace Of
2O,OOO,OOO Boxers.

Pekin, June 2S.-The foreign minis.
ters at yesterdays meeting discussed
only minor points Of the indemnity
question. The British minister, Sir
Ernest Satow, refuses to agree to the
ten per cent. increase in the tariff in
the event that China finds herself un-
able to meet her payments. The Rus.
sian minister, NJ. De Giers, has not
yet agreed that the interest on the
indemnity is to be four per cent. The
United States special representative,
Mr.. Rockhill, thinks there should be
little further delay. When these
points are settled the work of the
ministers will be practically COM
pleted.
Rev. Arthur Smith, the missionary
and author, preaching at Tien Tsin
on the anniversary of the relief of
that city (June 24), said he thor
oughly agreed with Sir Robert Hart
in the statement that unless there
was a complete regeneration of China
in few years the country would be
menaced by sO,0OO,0OO boxers. The
Chinese would never forget that the
boxer movement was fully approved
by the court.

THE AUTOMOBILE RACE.


Berlin, June 29.-The automobile
race from Paris to Berlin is response
Bile for the fact that for the first time
since 1870 French and German flags
are peaceably flying together in Ber-
lin. The tri-color is seen on nearly
every street and on the hotels and it
has even been raised over public build
ings. The French and the German
flags are intertwined over the gate OF
the barracks of the crack guard corps,
where some of the competing auto
cars will be housed to-day. The en-
tire city of Berlin is agog with ex-
element about the race. The con-
testants are due to-day. Bets are
freely made on the winner and M.
Fourier is the favorite. There are
thousands of visitors in Berlin from
outside points and two extra trains
have arrived from Paris, bringing
those interested in the event. A sue
cession of minor accidents marked
the middle stage of the race. The
petroleum motor blew up while ap-
preaching Dusseldorf and its occu.
pants were slightly injured. While
the French consul, with party, was
going out to meet the racers his car
overturned. Count de Perigord. the
fourth racer to arrive at Aix-la-
Chappelle, was so seriously i'll from
the strain that he had been COM
PEELED to abandon the contest.

A SLEEpWALKER'S FEAT.
One who Guided His Wntchful Com.

"An interesting case of sohnambul.
ism is reported by NJ. Badaire, director
of the normal school at Blois, France.
1t is accredited by DR.. Dufay and
printed in 'The Proceedings of the
Society of Psychical Research ;"
writes DR.. R. Osgood Mason, in the
Ladies' Home journal. "Theo.
phile Janicaud was pupil at the nor
NAL school, and in the month of July
of his second year he commenced to
walk in his sleep. On one occasion he
got up at night, determined to go fish
ing. His brother-in-law, M. Simonet,
decided to accompany him, but before
starting he induced him to alter his
plans and 90 and visit relative in
stead. Accordingly this was done,
Janicaud remaining fast asleep and I'M
disturbed by the barking dogs or the
fatigue of long walk.
FINALLY, he was ready to return,
and on the way, coming to narrow
and dangerous path close to the river,
his brother-in-law cautioned him to
go carefully in the darkness. Jani-
caud, with some scorn, declared that
he could see the better of the two, and
to prove it asked Simonet if he could
see the match under his foot, and,
sure enough, there was a match. 1t
was a dark night, and besides Jani-
caud was some 80 feet ahead of him
and had his nightcap drawn closely
over his face"

THE CUBAN PROBLEM
Agitators Warned Not to hurry
Annexation to America.
an EDITORIAL ARTICLE IN Ia LUCIA
Electoral Commission Frames an Elector-
81 Project Providing for Universal Suf.
frsge and Australian Ballot System
Parties to Have Marks.

Havana, June 2S.-La Lucia, re-
ferring editorially to the annexation
movement, warns its agitators to pro-
coed slowly, saying premature action
will prove harmful to themselves and
that their efforts should be saved for
that time in the future when the
problem OF annexation comes up. La
Lucha says that as a natural outcome
of the existing conditions the United
States is determined to establish re-
public in Cuba whose only limits shall
be the Platt amendment. When Cuba
is in possession of its own administra-
ton and government the Cuban peo-
pie will then be able to see whether
it is to their advantage to continue
as a republic or be annexed to the
United States. La Lucha says the
United States will make no move in
the matter, and if Cuba takes no
action concerning annexation until
the country is free and Independent
and decides on its own account to
ask for the solution of the problem,
annexation will neither be FASTENED
nor delayed thereby. The editorial
concludes by saying the matter of an
rexation is more a Cuban than an
American problem, as the United
States would gain nothing by annex
alton, and that the Cubans probably
will find many obstacles thrown in
their way when the time comes to
ask that Cuba be annexed to the
United States.
The electoral commission appointed
by the Cuban constitutional conven-
ton to frame laws for the conduct
Of Cuban elections has completed its
work and will probably present its
project of electoral law to the con-
vention to-day. The electoral project
provides for universal suffrage and
the use Of the Australian ballot sys-
TEN. One article specifies that the
ballots shall be divided into columns
corresponding to the number of po-
ltical parties in the field. and that
each column shall be distinguished
by the mark of party, in order to
prevent the deception of voters who
can neither read nor write.
