Agreement.

Washington, June Especial Com
missioner Rockhill's proposition to sub
nit the indemnity question to The
Hague tribunal, it is now learned, carr
ries with 1t the adjustment of the total
indemnity. Thru a misunderstanding,
which was perhaps purposely created
by some OF the powers, the sum of 450.-
10000 taels was supposed to have been
finally agreed upon by all the powers as
from China. AS a matter of fact there
is nothing official to show that the
powers, or indeed a majority OF them,
actually made this matter of formal
to pay an indemnity of 450.OO000O taels,
but equally true that this undertaking,
doubtless based upon the mlsunder-
standing above referred to, was at least
in advance of a formal agreement
among the ministers themselves.
Hence, Rockhill's proposition to in
clude the total Indemnity in the mat
ters to be submitted to The Hague ar
bitration. European criticisms are
based upon the idea that Rockhilis
proposition as to arbitration concerns
only the method of payment and are
therefore founded in error. Hope that
the arbitration plan will prevail is
based upon the belief that no other
scheme SO far brought forward is sutIi-
