WANTS TIME
Indemnity Installments Run
for Forty Years.

Picking, May 31.-Another edict has
been issued by the throne and has
been received here in regard to the
payment of the indemnities. China
consents to the payment of four per
cent. interest per annum but asks
that the payments run for a term
of 40 years instead of 80, as hereto
fore agreed upon by the ministers.
The ministers are anxious that the
indemnity question shall be settled
in order hat they may take up the
trade questions and regulations,
which will require ~protracted investi-
cation. These Investigations will not
be taken up for the purpose of Sc
curing additional favors from China
as part of the financial compensation,
but to settle all the points in the
protocol and give the court no ex-
cuse for not returning to Picking. The
questions of reform in the govern
ment a be discussed subsequently.
