800, 900, 900 DOLLARS IN GOLD.

The Amount of Indemnity China Gan
Raise and not Cripple Resources.
London. A dispatch to the Reuter-
Telegram company from Pekin says
that the French military authorities
contemplate rem owing 1000 men at
an early date. The Germans are pre-
pairing to repatriate the infantry
brigade.
The indemnity claims are now un-
dc erstood to total 60, 600, 900 pounds.
The committee Of minister, which
is considering China's financial re-
soroes, has reached the conclusion,
based on what information is thus far
obtainable, that $500, 600, 900 in gold
can be raised without insuring Chi
mas resources. The examination by
the committee into the subject is not
complete and it will probably subse-
gently learn what other Chinese re-
sources for indemnity are available.

place to amusement, beginning with

vide every old soldier and all those
who have written for quarters an as
signment to the places reserved for
them before they reach Memphis.
This information will be given to
them by special agents.
These agents will be sent out on
the various railroads to meet every
incoming train. They will meet this
train seventy-five miles out OF the
city, and the different cars will be
canvassed in the most systematic
manner. Each passenger will be ap-
preached and will be assigned TO
rooms or hotels. A certificate setting
forth the location Of these rooms, the
price to be paid for them and the
number of persons in the party will
be given, and as such assignments are
given the roomer the accommodations
represented will be entered on the
stub and scratched off the original
list. When each guest or veteran
reaches the oity he will know just
where he is to live during the re-
union, and if he is in doubt as to
how he shall reach his headquarters
there will be corps of messengers at
the depot to direct such parties.

How Thousands Of The Reunion Visitors
viii Live IN a Beautiful Park.
GRAND MUSIC FESTIVAL
War Songs and Grand Opera
to be Sung by Hundreds Of
Trained Voices.

Memphis, Tenn.-In one Of the
most picturesque parts of this city
Thousands of reunion visitors are 60
Ing to camp out in true picnic style
This latest development is the result
of numerous inquiries for camping
space received by the committees from
parties who, in some cases one hun
dred strong, are preparing to bring
whole communities with them to the
reunion. Old veterans with their
wives and families, their own cooks
and kitchen outfits, have determined
to enjoy their reunion holiday in out
door enoampment, and for this pur-
pose the big park has been secured
East End Park, the place designated,
Is one OF the principal street car lines,
within easy reach of the city, and is
35-acre stretch of woods and dales,
shady ravines traversed by winding
stream, ssand holding in its center a
shimmering lake. A more romantic
situation could scarcely be imagined,
and when one considers that there is
fine, large banquet hall under one
of the groups of tall elms which is
capable of seating three hundred din
ners at one time, besides affording an
admirable place for roomy kitchen,
with artesian water and q we'll
drained sanitary condition, the park
presents camping facility that is as
perfect as one could wish.
1t will be welcome resting place
after the heat of the crowded streets,
and the cool ride into the country
where the gong Of the electric car
disturbs the lowing herds or startles
the farmyard dog into deeper bay,
will be q restful contrast from the
hurry and excitement of the day Just
passed. Old war heroes will delight
in the long-ago camp fire and will
gather about in the twilight and live
over again the nighta of decade age
when the music of the katydid an6
cricket was so often lost in the roar
Of battle or the whiz of the speeding
bullet from some hidden picket post.
The idea has been received with en-
thusiasm by all those who are con-

day last. The remainder of the week
was devoted to international races,
an assault at arms and tent pegging
at the Temple of Haven. The Rus
slams particularly are celebrating the
Easter holidays.
The ministers openly express their
desire that the foreign troops leave
Pekin. They are seemingly as anxious
for the departure as were the be-
seiged ministers anxious for the ar
rival of the troops.

templating camping out, and from
the manner in which it is being
worked out 1t is safe to say that East
End Park will present one Of the
prettiest scenes to be witnessed dur
ing the reunion; picturesque ming

ly summer twilight into picture Of
nomadio beauty.
For music lovers there is treat
offered in the shape of three days~
music festival to be given by fu |
orchestra, a specially trained chorus
of two hundred voices, and soloists
of international reputation. For the
gray heads who are commencing to
live in the past there will be war
songs and old time ballads, stirring
them into brighter recollection or
softening the heart into tender glow.
For the younger, and for all, in fact,
there will be modern opera and popu-
lar music besides grand orations.
Throughout the professions there will
be many drum and bugle corps for
the martially inclined, and over the
entire reunion will resound the spirit
of music of every kind and descrip-
tion.
In recent meeting of the general
executive committee it was decided
to order at once ten thousand cots as
first installment to meet the de-
mand for them on the part of house
holders in Memphis who are anxious
TO commence the fitting out Of their
rooms before the rush begins. AL
ready quarters have been arranged for
nearly all Of tie people who, it is
estimated, will come to the reunion,
and the work of that committee is
steadily going forward. In the quar-
termaster generals department the
offers to donate provisions already
mentioned in previous letter, are con-
tinuing to pour in. All of these
offers are being accepted, for it is
hungry business to go to a reunion
and mix in the whirl of excitement
and pleasure in three days. stretch.
The immense reunion building on
the bluff is progressing satisfactorily
and will be finished in ample time
for the purpose for which it is dedi-
Gated. The building has been chris
tened Confederate Hail." and will
be the largest and handsomest struc-
ture ever erected for similar pur-
pose. In general the work of accom-
modating and entertaining the
crowds is now approaching compile
ton, although there is still of course
much to be accomplished. The task
If meeting the visitors, directing
them to their quarters, and supplying
them with all necessary information
is now the problem before the In
formation committee, and that prob
lem seems to have been solved.
