Will Continue His Efforts to Secure
Abatement of Indemnity.
Washington, May ia cablegram
from w. w. Rockhill, our special COM
missioner at Picking, received at the
state department mentions the receipt
by the ministers of the response of the
Chinese ENJOYS to the minister's de-
mands for indemnity. The dispatch
indicates briefly that the Chinese rep
resent that an annual payment of $10,-
100000 is the full extent of their power
to pay on indemnity account It will
take 80 years to discharge the debt
at that rate, without interest.
Mr.. Rockhill makes no mention of
interest nor does he touch upon the
means by which the money is to lie
raised by China, or say who is to
guarantee a loan necessary to be
made. 1t appears that the Chinese feel
themselves obliged to submit to the
powers in this question of indemnity
as in all other things and though
realizing their own inability to assume
this Indebtedness of 450,0O0,0O0 taels
they feel obliged to make the, effort.
Mr.. Rockhill has been instructed to
continue his efforts to secure an abate-
ment of the total indemnity, but in the
present disposition of the powers little
hope of such is entertained.

TALE OF cANNlBALIsM.
Two Men the Sole Survivors Of a
Crew of Nineteen

Victoria, B. c., May 15.-The steam
ship Empress of India brings ter
rible tale Of shipwreck and cannibal-
ism, which was recounted to the naval
court at Singapore by Johansen, a
Swede, and Martadna, a Spaniard, sole
survivors of 10 men, who sailed from
Cavite on the bark, Angola, Oct. H..
The Angola was wrecked on a coral
reef when six days out from Manila
and went to pieces soon after she
struck. The boats were smashed and
the crew made two RATS out of the
Wreckage. They had been % days at
sea When one man died and then one
by one the other sailors died and their
bodies were thrown to- the sharks,
which followed. A Frenchman went
mad and attacked the captain with an
axe and when the mate went to the
captains assistance he was killed with
the axe by the Frenchman, who drank
his blood and ate his brains. The
others killed the Frenchman and ate
part Of his body. Then one by one the
survivors died until but two were left,
who survived on small fish taken with
hooked nails and lines made Of pieces
of canvas. They drifted until after AZ
days of terrible suffering they were
washed ashore on the island of Soubi,
on Nov. "a. BY that time they were
so weak that they could not walk but
had to crawl on their hands and knees.
The men lived there for about two
months. They had only currants,
mangoes and little fish to eat.
A Chinese junk arrived from Singa-
pore and the survivors went on board
her. They went on her to Pulo Mad
and thence to Singapore.

Pennsylvania Republicans Tender Him
Banquet.
Philadelphia, May 15.-Republicans
of the dominant faction from every
section of the Keystone state paid
homage to United States Senator M. S.
Quay in honor of his reelection to the
upper chamber Of congress. The gath
ering was one of the greatest outpour-
ings of Republicans to do honor to one
man ever witnessed in this state. Gov
ernor Stone was present, as were all
the members of his cabinet, members
of the legislature, the municipal heads
of several Pennsylvania cities and the
friends of Mr.. Quay in this city. The
occasion took the form of banquet,
followed by a reception, and was un-
der the auspices Of the Pennsylvania
State League of Republican clubs
During the banquet Senator Quay an
nounced his permanent retirement
from politics at the conclusion of his
present term.

BORDERS ON lNSOLENcE.
A Foreign Minister'S Opinion Of the
Chinese Offer

A Foreign Minister'S Opinion Of the
Chinese Offer.
Picking, May 15.-The foreign min
listers refuse to allow themselves to
be quoted for publication regarding
the Chinese reply to the demand for
indemnity, but three of them gave per-
sonal views of the matter One of
them said he never expected the Chi
nese to agree to the demand without
arguing even had the total been only
$10,000,000. He considers the Chinese
offer of 100000 taels annually for
30 years as absurd and ridiculous and
thinks that the request that 1000, 900
be given them from the foreign Gus
toms borders on insolence. The pow
ers, he thinks, will make a mistake if
they do not exact the utmost centime
Another says it does not matter what
the Chinese propose, whatever the
powers decide upon will have to be
agreed to. Another thinks a salts
factory way will be found to reduce
the awards to Chinese ability to pay.

The Utmost: She Can Offer Is Fifteen

Picking, May 15.-The answer of
China to the S statement of the minis
tiers of the foreign powers as to the
losses sustained by nations and in
dividuals in China has been received
The answer commences with an an
peal for mercy, saying that the coun-
try is impoverished. The answer ex-
plains that the utmost China can
offer is 100000 taels annually for
the next 80 years.
This amount will be derived as fol-
lows: From salt, 100000 taels:
from the likin tax, 100000 taels, and
from native customs 100000 taels.
The communication further asserts
that were this done, it would leave
the country unable to meet the ex-
penses of government without assist
ance. 1t requests that the foreign
customs be increased one-third and
the receipts therefrom be given to
China for the purposes of government.
The ministers refuse to discuss this
answer until it has been considered
by them In meeting.

WIRELESS TELEGRAPHY.
investigating Board Favors Its Adop-
ton BY the Navv,

ton by the Navy.
Washington. May 15.-Admiral Brad
ford, chief of the naval bureau of
equipment, has given out the following
extract from the report of the board
which has investigated the question
of transmitting messages by wireless
telegraphy:
.- From the examination Of the sub
ject as outlined in the orders Of the
department, the board ma es the fol-
lowing recommendations:
"First-That the use of homing
pigeons be discontinued as soon as
wireless telegraphy is introduced into
the navy.
"Second-That pending such action
no new pigeon cotes be established.
Third-That wireless telegraphy be
adopted by the navy for transmission
OF messages between distant points.
Notwithstanding to the last rec
ommendation the board is of the opin-
ion that a high degree of special elec-
trical training is demanded for the
successful operation of any system of
wireless telegraphy and it therefore
suggests as necessary the establish
ment of two stations, sufficiently far
removed from each other for the train
ing OF officers and men, In it's opinion
this requirement would be the best
met by the establishment of such sta
lions at the hayward at Washington
and the naval academy at Annapolis.
If wireless telegraphy fulflls what
now seem to be it's possibilities the
cadets should be thoroughly trained
