vent the entire congressional dele
CATION, including the two senator's,
having a hand in filing the Offices,
as the terms Of the present occu-
pants expire2 This would give can
didates IN those new districts an
even chance. for8it is not likely that
an entire delegation could so unite
upon appointments that would be
particularly favorable or obnoxious
to any one candidate, and thus the
candidates in the new districts
would..be treated fairly. AS. it is
now, the present representatives
having control Of their old districts,
can name. oficeholders who will IA
.vor a particular friend over in a
new district, and thus inparting an
.unfairness to congressional politics
not intended by the people.
The Importance Of the matter will
become. apparent to thinking voters,
and it is to be hoped that it will be
sufficiently discussed to prevent a
repetition Of the condition after fu-
ture reapportionments.

This matter has been the subject
of considerable discussion among

5opinion in fact, there has been no

the representative residing il the

PRESIDENT M'KINLEY'S PARTY
IN THE CITY OF NEW ORLEANS

New Orleans, May 2.-There was
striking picture when the party drew
up before the moldering Cabildo over
$50 years old, which is situated oppo-
site what is now called Jackson
square, but which, in the old days,
was the Place dArmes, where Span
ish generals formerly drilled their sol
diers. Around the encircling streets

In the square We're acres of people.
Many races We're represented, but the
foreigners We're mostly French and
Italians. Those on the outer edges of
the crowd stood with faces pressed
against the high iron railings which
enclose the park. Many people We're
perched in the trees.
The French tri-color and several 9TH
er strange flags, among them the red,
white and green banner of Portugal,
were interspersed with American flags
in the decorations. Drawn up in line
before the historic old building were
the young cadets from the Jesuit Col
lege, and up the winding stairway at
the entrance of the building were
ranged file of the Continental
Guards, a local organization, in buff
and blue of the Revolutionary era.

belts with figures "'76" ON their brass

As the President alighted n squad of
the cadets blew n fanfare their

artillery fired n salute of twenty one
guns, and the bells of the cathedral
and all the churches in the quarter
peeled out their welcoming greeting
1t was an inspiring moment.

VARIOUS REPORTS In REGARD
TO THE CHINESE INDEMNITY

Washington, May 3.-The German
and French ambassadors and Mr..
Rogestvensky, for the Russian ambas-
sador. were among yesterdays callers
on DIR. Hill, acting secretary of state.
The discussion was almost entirely on
Chinese affairs, the press dispatches
as to an agreement on S2T3, 600, 900 in
demnity and on change of customs
duties proving of great interest in in
ternational and diplomatic circles.
No one of the callers was able to con-
firm the report. but the opinion was
general that an agreement on inden-
nifty had been reached. The prevail
ing view was that 100000 repre-
sentec compromise between the min
imum amount urged by the United
states and the maximum urged by the
other powers. The original total of
claims amounted to $500, 900, 900, so
that the present total represents n
scaling down of about forty per cent.
At this rate the claim of the United
States, which originally was about
S25,@oooO, would be cut to about
S1S,O0O,OOO.
Berlin, May 2.-The statement that
the total indemnity to ls, demanded
from China amounts to S325. .OOO, 900
has been officially confirmed here. This
i
is believed here that if China will now
undertake to pay this sum in in
IDENTITIES the evacuation of Pc Chi Ii
province can begin immediately
Pekin, May 3.-At n meeting of the
ministers yesterday the report of the
indemnity committee was read Re
garding the resources of China, the re-
port was very voluminous. 1t is
claimed that revenues from all avail
able sources will not allow China to
pay the indemnity unless assistance is
rendered.
The next meeting will be held Tues
day. The subject of Count Won Wal
dersee's letter will then be taken up.
The ministers personally object to any
of the legation guards being under any
authority except that of the ministers
themselves.
London, May 3.-"The reports of n
secret combination of disaffected ele-
ments In the Yang Use province to or
ganize general risings, are receiving
some confirmation" says the Shanghai
correspondent of the Post. "The Brit
ish consul at Nankin telegraphs Mr..

When he had concluded the Presi-
dent appeared on the balcony to show
himself to the waiting thousands out
side. The cadets below presented
arms, and the square and the build
ings surrounding it fluttered with
handkerchiefs and flags, while the air
was torn by the hoarse roar of the
multitude. The President made an i'm
pressive figure as he stood there wait
ing for the cheering to subside. lie
acknowledged the demonstration with
bow, right and left, and spoke as
follows:

sity. As he entered the grounds of
the university he was welcomed with

NATIONAL CHAUTAUQUA

Colorado Springs, May 3.-Work was
started yesterday on plan originated
several months ago. The National
Chautauqua Association has purchased
tract covering about 100 acres be-

sideration was about $4,000. A corps
of engineers under the direction of
Norval Wall commenced operations
this morning and will divide the land
into lots for the accommodation of nu-

Prof. Gustave Bischof of the Glas-
gov university has invented a new
process for the manufacture of white
lead. His plan is the conversion OF
metallic lead into litharge, by means
of water gas at a temperature Of 800
degrees centigrade. to suboxide. SUM-
Client water is then added to moisten
this suboIide, which is converted into
hydrate. This substance is then inserted
into a gas-tight apparatus, and by
means OF carbonic and diluted acetic
acid manufactured into white lead.
Under the old process white lead oc-
cupied from two to three months in
its manufacture, but Prof. Bischof is
enabled to make purer article within
less than forty-eight hours at a much
cheaper price and with perfect safety
to the employees.
