News From Pekin Not of a Reassuring
Character.


Such reports as reach here from Pekin
Indicate that the State Department by no
means underestimated the difficulties that
would be experienced in reaching an agree
ment between the foreign ministers re-
specting the amount of indemnities 20 be
levied upon the Chinese government and
the method of collection. Special Commits
sioner Rockhill is doing all that he can
do to restrain the demands Of the powers
to a sum total that will be within the
ability Of the Chinese government to meet
without the destruction of the dynasty and
an upheaval that would result in the loss
OF much territory by China.
1t appears however. that the demands in
their present shape are of an onerous
character. and grave difficulty is antici-
pated In securing an amelioration of the
demands. II will not be surprising II II
should become necessary for the powers
sincerely desirous OF avoiding q partition
Of China to address themselves directly to
the foreign Offices OF the other powers. as
was done In the case Of the punishment
section OF the agreement, IN the hope that
they may instruct their ministers at Pc
kin on different lines from those they
are now pursuing.

 Belgrade May 1S.-The following ex- planation of the situation in the Servian royal family may be regarded as au- thentic. The physicians have presented a written statement, according to which there is no immediate prospect of Queen Draga's accouchement. She is certainly not in an advanced state of pregnancy, such as would have been the case had the opinion given last Sep teiaber by Dr. Caoulett, the French physician. been correct. The physicians pIOCcGu lO cApletlIl SAudL LIT. CdOul6LI may have been coferct, but that the natural progress of pregnancy may have been subsequently, interrupted. In conclusion they say that the queens present condition is in no way disjuiet- ing either with regard to her health or physical constitution, and that conse- quently there is no reason why she should not eventually become a mother.

MRS. GAGE DEAD,
Wife of the Secretary of the Treasury
 Passes Away.


 Washington, May 17.-Mrs. Lyman J. Gage, wife of the secretary of the treasury, died at her residence, 1715 Massachusetts avenue, Northwest, at 9:3O o'clock tonight after an illness of nine weeks duration. With her when the end came was her husband, her married daughter, Mrs. F. F. Pierce of Evanston, H., and Dr. w. l.. John ston, the attending physician. For a time before her death Mrs Gage suf- fered considerable pain, but she main tained her bright and cheerful demean- or and was conscious to the last. Heart trouble, the result of grip complica- tions, was the immediate cause of death
 Mrs. Gage was exposed to the inclem- ent weather for about an hour during inauguration day, but at the time her health did not seem to have been ef- fected. On the 18th of March she left here for Evanston to visit her married daughter. While there she experienced a chill and took to her bed, but soon recovered sufficiently to return to Washington, where she had been con- fined to her room ever since. Mrs. Gage was native of Albany, N. Y., and f1fty-eight years of age. She was to Secretary Gage in Denver, Col. in 1887. There were no children from their union, Mrs Pierce being a child by a former marriage. Mrs Pierce has two children living at Evanston

CHARGED WITH FORG ERY.
The Accusrd Secured Only a Ride for
 His Pains.

James F. Mitchell, a barber who lives .n West Haven, was arrested early last evening by Detective Smith of the Howard avenue precinct on the charge of forgery. It is alleged that he forged the names of James F. Kelly, Frank street lidIior dealer, to an or der for half dozen bottles of whiskey which he presented to Charles Mann, a wholesale liquor dealer, and a forged order for three gallon jugs of whiskey which he presented to R. & c. Harris & Go. It is said that he secured the bottled goods and ordered them deliv- cred to MT. kelly, and that he secured the three jugs of whiskey and then left them on the sidewalk in front of R. & c. Harris & Co.'S store. Then he went to Ferguson's livery stable and pre- sented an order. which is alleged to have been forged, for the hiring of a team, which he secured and went out for drive. This drive appears to have been all he secured for his pains, and all that he attempted to secure for his personal benefit.
