REINFORCEMENT
OF Collector Sapp Strongly op-
posed BY Strong Party
Faction.

II Is evident from special telegram
to the Cincinnati Enquirer from Louis
vile, Kentucky, that the reappointment
Of Collector Sapp is being strongly
fought by q faction of the Repub-
can party of that state. Senator Deboe,
who called on the president Monday
in Sapp's behalf left Canton predicting
his reappointment. In the face of the
following the prediction may appear
a trif1e less trustworthy:
The anti-machine candidates for Re-
publican nominations who were ruth
lessly run over>by the machine at the
so-called Republican primary held a
meeting tonight and adopted resoln-
tions denouncing the bossism of Collect
or Charles Sapp and calling O mass
meeting of Republican voters for Fri
day night to publicly protest against
the Infamous primary" and demand
from the state central committee the
organization of the party in Louisville
and q call for new primary election
or convention. Alderman p. Booker
Read, the defeated candidate for mayor,
presided and made several red-hot
speeches, attacking Sapp and his hench-
men In the most violent terms and de-
claring that, while he himself would not
offer again for any office, he would
stump the city and county against the
Sapp ticket If the latter were allowed
to stand.
Mr.. Read gave his experiences on
election day and startled his hearers
by the declaration that q member of
the Sapp executive committee had con-
fided to him that all ballots and records
OF the primary had been destroyed by
three men of the Republican head
quarters and new returns submitted,
assuring the success of every machine
candidate. Some of those present be-
came so excited that a custom house
employe, who was present, was forced
to leave because some one cried him
down as spy of Collector Sapp. One
made seriously the proposition to lynch
Sapp. but of course, found no followers.
Committees were appoin ed to COM
municate with the Republican national
and state central committees with
view to force the removal of Sapp as
party boss. The mass meeting on
Friday promises to become lively af-
fair,

Upon Indemnity China
Must Pay.
SETTLEMENT MADE
In Pekins Negotiations..Prinei.
pal To BE Paid Three Hum
dred and Thirty Seven
Million Dollars.

Washington. July 23.-The minis
ters at Pekin have agreed upon O
plan for the payment of the indemnity
and the extinction of the debt created
thereby. China is to issue bonds for
450.000,000 taels (about 1897 900, ,000)
which are to bear per cent interest
This debt will hang over China for 3S
years after the process Of amortiza-
tion begins.
Special Commissioner Rockhill com.
municated this very welcome news In
message received and made public
by the state department. He gave no
details. but the department takes It
for granted that the agreement Is on
one OF the plans heretofore discussed.
He mentions the sum. the rate of in.
terest and the date when the debt is
to disappear.
There is only one plan on file with
the department In which the figures
he uses occur. This plan provides
Tor the beginning OF the process Of
amortization on Jan. l, 1902, by the
payment OF 23.000.000 taels. The first
year lS.OO0,O00 gees on the interest
charge and only 100000 toward tn 3
rayment OF the principal. Each year
the 23,OU0.O00 taels are to be paid, but
the interest charge being smaller the
payment ON the principal will be
larger.
II China males no default the bonds
Will all be retired in 1910. 1t Is the
understanding that China will remit
the interest and part payment on the
bonds to each bondholder directly ami
not go to the expense CT establishing
an international egcncy. as has been
proposed.
The United States receives s25,.
100000 worth CT tJase bonds.

Movement Launched by
Bishop Horstmann.
THE NEED APPARENT
The Bishop to Broach the Plan
Publicly at the Meeting
of the Catholic
Turnverin.

Cleveland, July pa plan for the
rejuvenation of the wor kamong the
younger element of the Catholic
church. which promises widespread
and highly beneficial results, was
launched from this city last week by
Bishop Hortsmann. While the need
for such movement has long been
apparent to the clergy of the church
the impulse and definite form for
meeting such a need had UP to this
tine been lacking.
In brief, it is proposed to adopt the
Y. M. G. A. system of education.
Every feature of Y. nj. c. A. work will
be used to cement the bonds of COOL
feelings between the young men of
the church. One object of the new
organization will be the elimination
OF foreign traits and languages and a
more rapid naturalization through
contanct with native-born Catholic
young men Of the United States.
Although the plan has not yet
reached the formative stage, it is pro.
posed htat the management of the or
ganization will reside as far as possi-
BILE in the secular young men OF the
church. The string of ecclesiastical
authority viii, however, be tightly
drawn. and the priesthood will have
more than an eX-officio hold on the
new organization.
Bishop Horstmann will broach the
plan publicly at the meeting of the
German Catholic Turnverein, in
bridgeport. Conn. next September.
The German element of the church
seems to have developed the social
and fraternal spirit more strongly
than any other and it is believed that
the plan Will secure such an impetus
from the Turnyerein that its success
will be inevitable.
Bishop Horstmann has already re-
ceived such encouragement from his
colleagues in the church that he has
an assurance that the matter will be
promptly taken up and favorablv
acted on as soon as it passes through
the hands Of the Turnverein.
