One Continuous Ovation.

From RedlandS down To Los Angeles
it was one continuous ovation. The
approach To the city Of Los Angeles
was heralded by terrific din which
could be heard for miles.
Al the station the party was met by
the citizens committee, Gen. Shafter,
commander of the department of the
Pacific, with his entire staff; Secre-
tary Of the Navy Long and many well
known statesmen. The presidents re-
ception has exceeded all expectations.

INDEMNITY TO THE POWERS
PLAN OF PAYMENT BY CHINA
ADOPTED.
Bonds to BE Issued VIII BE Lfquidat
ed, Principal and Interest,
by 1910.

The State Department has received a dis
patch from Commissioner Rockhill at Pc
kin. announcing that plan for the pay
nent of the indemnity to the powers by
the Chinese government finally had been
adopted. The amortization of the bonds to
be issued will begin In 1902. and the plan
contemplates the entire liquidation of both
principal and interest by 1910. 1t is ex-
pected that China will raise % 100000 taels
annually. This sum is to be used to pay
the interest on the bonds and to form 4
sinking fund for the ultimate liquidation Of
the principal.
Mr.. Rockhills dispatch was very brief
and did not go into any details. From their
knowledge OF the general basis upon which
the ministers have been working. how
ever. the State Department officials have
a general idea Of the conclusions which
have been reached. The total amount Of
Indemnity which China will have to pay
will aggregate 45O.00O0OO taels and bear
per cent annual interest. 1t is estimated
that of the 23.0OO.O00 taels which China Is
to pay the first year, 1S,0O0,OOO taels will
be required for interest, and that o,0O0,OO
taels will be applied to the sinking fund.
Each year the interest will grow less, and
the amount set aside for the sinking fund
will increase, so that by 1910, when the
bonds are to be Iiquidated the interest will
be almost nominal. The sources of reve-
nue. Tor the payment OF Tue llueiiiillS DIS
understood here are to be derived from
the Gabele or salt tax, the maritime GUS
toms and the likin tax, portion to be
taken from each
The principle of the payment Of the in
demnity having been determined upon,
what remains now Is to devolve plan for
it's execution. This is not regarded as a
serious problem. The bonds guaranteeing
the indemnity are to be distributed among
the various powers on the basis agreed
upon heretofore. There will be no interna-
tional guarantee, but it is expected that
the governments 20 whom the bonds are al
lotted will see to it that purchasers Will
be safe in their Investments. State De
partment officers apprehend there will be
no trouble on the part of the various gov
ernments in disposing of these securities.
