the United States would stand with
Franco and Russia. The result will
be to greatly protract the negotiations.
The indemnity figure is under what
had been expected in Paris, as it was
thought the total would reach one and
one-half milliards of francs. There is
much disappointment over the fact
that the United States is supporting
England against an increase in the
customs. This is attributed to the in
huence of the American trading COM
munity in China. j Is believed that
England, if alone, would yield; but
fears are entertained that England's S
scheme is TO prolons the negotiations
until her hands are FREQ in South Afri-
ca. when she would show a stronger

MINISTER'S DIVIDED AS TO WAY
CHINA is TO RAISE INDEMNITY

Paris, May 2.-The foreign office has
received a dispatch from Pekin an
nouncing that NJ Pichon, the French
minister, presented yesterday the re-
port of the committee on indemnity.
The amount China is TO pay has been
fixed at 1865 900 ,OCO francs. How it is
proposed that the indemnity be distri-
buted among the powers is not set
forth, but as the dispatch does not
mention The Hagre, it is thought the
ministers are hopeful Of being able TO
settle the proportion TO be received by
each power by discussion at Pekin.
Official advices received here from
Pekin say the ministers are divided
into two parties in the discussion 70
decide how China IS TO raise the in
demnity. France. Germany, Russia
and Japan agree in favor of raising the
customs duties, which can be relied
upon to produce a great part Of the
requisite sum and the imposition Of a
duty on junks, which will constitute a
tax on inland navigation, and the taxi
ing over Of some of the lllIin (provin-
eial transit duties).
On the other hand, the United States
and Great Britain decline 10 agree TO
an increase Of the customs duties, but
they do not appear to have presented
counter proposition. This fact that
the United States and Great Britain
nave joined hands on this question has
caused SUNRISE here. 1t was hoped

AMERICAN GUARD MAY REMAIN;
GERMANY'S DEMANDS ARE REFUSED

Washington, May 2.-The legation
guard at the American legation at
Pekin will not be subjected 10 the OF
der OF any foreign general. Official re-
ports of the latest phases Of the nego-
tiations at Pekin, as told in press dis
patches, have not reached Washington,
and it is suggested as a possibility
that the demands in this regard OF the
international generals are not unqual-
ifed. Still. II it is, the American le-
cation guard will retain its indepen-
dence, even If it is necessary 10 that
end to remove It from Pekin, and from
China. The latter course might be-
come necessary in case one OF the pow
erS formally declares war upon China
and exercises it's right to cause the
withdrawal Of all neutral forces, but
under existing conditions the guard
probably will remain
Germany was one Of the powers that
subscribed heartily to the suggestion
of the United States that no nation
make private arrangements with China
for the enlargement or acquisition Of
concessions. so the officials here are
surprised TO learn that the Germans
have taken steps to acquire a conces-
sion at Canton. II is believed here
that it was without doubt the lnsis-
tence by the United States upon the
force OF this agreement that check
mated Russian designs upon Man
churia for the time being.

Those who talk about its cruelty
fail to reflect that the physician would
bend all his skilled energies to spar
ing his patient unnecessary pain,
whereas we turn our capital convicts
over to a sheriff who may be kind
OF may be heartless and whose ner-
vousness at the least moment may
cause the inlliction of inGescribable
torture upon the victim and give our
life convicts into the keeping OF war
dens of whose disposition we know
nothing. If there is an opening for a
sweeping charge of cruelty on either
side, it is more likely to apply with
Justice TO the present system than to
that here suggested as among the pos
sibilities.
Whether the time is yet ripe for
making the experimental camp a des-
tination for convicted criminals may
be a question. That this will one day
be done there seems little reason for
doubt The notion that ordinary con
yicts should be made to work for their
own living and pay their way as far as
possible has become so well settled in
the mind Of every one that the only
subject of controversy is the field In
which their industry shall be employ
ed. It has gained its strong foothold
because it has common sense for "a
basis. The same reason will in due
season give a standing to the medical
experimental notion also.

Grating bunco system on a gigantic
scale. Freezing out all well intention
ed yet obscure men, who wished to
establish banks, high officials Of the
administration engaged in the banking
business themselves and used their Of
fetal positions to order to inspire con-
fdence and bring returns. If this be
not So why should the names of Dele
gate Flynn, Governor jenkins, secre-
tary Grimes and other officials be en-
blazoned on ten foot boards "as bank
directors" and the boards made to do
duty in front of the three banks st
Lawton, Anadarko and Hobart. But
this is not all. These hanks instead of
being liberal with Their constituents
and protecting their depositors from
rank and glaring outrages, were abso-
lutely grasping in their greed for coin.
If you visit Lawton, or Anadarko, or
Hobart and do business with the "ad-
ministration banks as they are now
known all over the Kiowa country,
and desire to deposit 81 900 it costs
you a five dollar bill, SO cents a hun
dred. If in twenty-four hours you
want to leave and wish to draw your
money out, it will cost you $500 addi-
tional, their charges being 80 cents in
and so cents out ON every hundred
dollars they handle. These outrage
GUS practices in open violation of
banking laws, have stirred up the peo.
pfc in the Kiowa country and their
condemnation of the administration
banking business is strong.
OF course, the citizens are helpless
to protect themselves as they can not
carry the money in their pockets oS-
ing TO the lawlessness that exists. But
they can remember And they will.
They will do it in convention and at
the polls. Democracy viii triumph
