Senator Bacon says that he is not try
ing to displace Senator Jones of Arkan-
sas as leader of the Democratic majority
in the Senate" That is undoubtedly per-
fectly correct. Senator Bacon, being on
the Democratic firing line, is merely fight
ing as hard as he can. At the same time
the body OF Democrats In the Senate will
have something to say about the leader
ship. If the majority of them express a
preference for Senator Bacon, because Of
his talent. he will find 1t rather difficult
to prevent them from having their way.
Party leadership is not a vested right
with Senator Jones.

THE QUESTION OF INDEMNITY.

Now that the leaders of the Boxers have
been put out OF the way-they having
been permitted to commit suicide or their
heads having been cut off-the question
arises, what next?
Are the ministers in Pekin considering
the question of indemnity? 1t is the I'M
Outstanding that they will take up that
matter at once If they have not. In fact,
already fixed upon the amount to be de-
manded.
A few weeks ago it was asserted that
the total sum demanded would be about
$500, 10000 Later it was given out that
the United States thought 500, 0O0000
would be sufficient to cover all the ex-
penses and losses Of the Powers
1t is practically certain that Germany
will never agree to so small an amount.
Russia might do so. and there is some
ground for thinking that France and ia
pan would. England has given no indica-
ton as to the amount that would satisfy
her
China is not able TO pay a very large
sum. The great majority of her people
are poor, and she hasn't much commerce.
1t is practically certain that she could not
pay SEQ eco, 600. If that amount We're de-
manded. however, and it became apparent
that she could not pay it, what would be
the result? Would Germany, England and
perhaps France demand territory? The
probability is they would. But the United
States and Russia would oppose a grant
OF territory to any one of the Powers.
Then there might be trouble between the
Powers.
The United States want to get settle
ment as soon as possible, so that COM
merce with China can be resumed. They
are the greatest sufferers at present be-
cause their trade with the disturbed sec
ton of tho Empire is larger than that of
any other nation. 1t is apparent, there
fore, why they want a settlement as
speedily as possible. The longer the ar
mics OF tho Powers remain in China the
greater their loss from the lack of trade
will be.
1t may be that Commissioner Rockhill,
who, it is understood represents the
United States now in Pekin, will be able
to bring about a settlement at an carly
day. 1t is to be hoped he will. Southern
manufacturers of cotton cloth are feel
Ing the loss of their Chinese trade greatly.
