THE CHINESE QUESTION.
No Furthur Dispute Over Amount Of In
demnIty, but DifEiculty a. to tho
Guarantee of Its Payment

Washington, June 5.--As o result
Of the exchanges OF the last few days
the question has resolved itself to
about the following basis: There is
no further issue as to the total Of
indemnity, that being agreed upon
by all the powers at $337,00O,O 900.
But there remains the question Of
how this amount shall be paid. The
Russian suggestion, which appears to
have the approval Of majority of
the powers, Is that China issue bonds
for the full amount and that all
powers then unite In giving joint
Endorsement or guarantee OF the pay
ment of them. The chief difficulty
which the United States finds as to
q joint guarantee Is that the consti-
tuition does not authorize the execu-
tive to guarantee bonds in the alb
sence of the approval of congress. As
to the attitude of congress, It has
been stated during the negotiations
that 1t Is doubtful whether the legis-
lative branch would approve joint
guarantee of such a vast total Of
bonds.
When this indemnity issue Is set
tied IT Is believed that fully so per
cent of the Chinese negotiations will
be disposed Of The next question
will be permanent treaties with
China, and on this point It Is expected
that each Of the powers will sug-
gest certain bases of n treaty and
that these ultimately will take form
in common form Of treaty action.

to be the prettiest race ever wit

the bosts were evenly matched. Each

other. The boats made approximate
ly 20 miles an hour. It was neck and

just about Fairport, where the Erie

London, June 5.---Details received
regarding the fighting at vlakfon-
tein show thar II was one OF the most
desperate engagements OF the war.
Gen. Dixon's column was travasing
the district and establishing posts,
when 1t was attacked by 1900 Beers
under Commandant Kemp. The Beers
were 80 close that 80 British fell at

the position, protecting the guns UNI
III they were nearly declmated and
then, finding It impossible to save
the guns, the artillerymen shot the
gun horses to prevent the Beers NOV
ing the guns. The column quickly
recovered from the shock of the un-
expected attack. The Derbyshires
charged with bayonets and after q
short, desperate fight, drove off the
Beers and recovered the guns. The
Derbyshires and yeomanry both lost
very heavily. 1t is asserted that
while the Beers had temporary pos
session Of the guns they shot two
artillerymen in cold blood for refus-
ing to work against their own COM
rides.

thing. This has pockets, is rainproof

Learn TO Keen Still

When you are asleep, It IS 10 be hoped
that you are still. Few people are when
they are awake. If one observes the

jaws in some manner. says DR.. John
Mitchell In Harper's Bazaar. have heard
it said It was bashfulness that caused
this, but 1t has not been my observation
that bashfulness was so widely distributed
an American trait; besides. how does
twisting the face help to keep one In coun-
tenauee? No, 1t is not bashfulness; It is
misdirected nervous energy, which ought
TO be aiding the movements OF their legs
or getting stored up somewhere in the
central nervous reservoirs for future use.
Learn 20 keep still when you rest; when
you move. move with the part of the body
needed; do not waste your force by walk
ms with your arms and face as well as
with your legs. If circumstances force
an unusual and fatiguing amount Of ex-
ertion upon you, break Il now and then
by periods Of absolute rest No matter
how brief they are, they will be useful IL
you make them complete and perfect In
the way described. This is true OF mental
as well as bodily exertion. A minute or
two minutes of quiet, with closed eyes II
