Berlin, April l5.-It is admitted in Of
fetal circles that the majority of the in
demnitv claims have been formulated in
Pekin. but not all, so it is impossible to
state the amount of the total to be de-
manded.
There is reason to believe that the kerr
mel of the American proposition touching
the distribution of the indemnity funds
between the powers is found in sugges-
ton that the allotment be made upon the
basis of the number of troops actually
employed by each power in the relief OF
the legatoners. By this scheme the forces
brought into China since the occupation
of Pekin are disregarded as beng en-
tirelv unnecessary to secure any lawful
and unanimously desired end. On this ba-
sis Great Britain would rank first, Japan
next the United States third and so on.
Big CLAIMS to BE Cut.
Washington, April l5.-The last advices
tc the state department from Mr.. Rock
hill contain further details respecting the
amount of the indemnities claimed from
China by the powers. 1t appears that
: these claims have been much exaggerated
in some statements, although the sum total
T. is still far in excess of the amount OF
money it is believed here that China can
raise. 1t is the belief of the state de-
partment that the total claims should not
+ be allowed to exceed $l50,000,000 or $780,
100000. According to information received
here the British claim, so far as formu-
: lated, is reasonable in amount as COM
I pared with other claims. In fact the
United States and Japan represent, in
a these negotiations, the moderate element
whose desire is to prevent the imposition
$ of charges that shall destroy the Chinese
e government and result in the division OF
the empire
IL None of the claims exceed $lOO000,000
y and even the largest is something less
than this amount. This is believed to be
the Russian claim, which is fixed at 500,
u 100000. The German claim is flexible
Y ranging between $60,000O00 and $4,000,
, 600. but is nearer the former mark at pres
ent. though it doubtless will grow. A

States is $25,O0O,0O0, and with these few

The Worlds Commerce.

In the 80 years from 1867 to 1897 the
worlds commerce increased more than 70
per cent. This increase is due to the ex-
traordinary development of transporta-
ton and the consequent cheapening of
freight rates. the constant growth of the
worlds population, the increase of wealth
and the consequent enlarged demand for
commodities, the improvement and cheap
ening of manufacturing processes, and
the comparatively long periods of peace
the world has had since Waterloo The
value of the worlds imports in 1880 was
1866, 100000, and of the exports $3.50, O00,-
900, and in 1897 the imports were $40, 2S4,-
100000, and exports $780, 0O0 Europe,
which commands from two-thirds to
three-fourths of the entire foreign trade,
is compelled to import so much food for
its population and so much raw material
for its factories and so large a part of all
1t produces and imports is consumed at
home that its imports are always largely
in excess of its exports, The value of
Europe's imports in 1897 was S,l69 OOO, 900,
and its exports S54l5, 1000. America has
long sold to the other continents more
than 1t has bought from them. In 1897
the American imports were worth $500,
100000, and the exports 1854 100000. Asia
and Australia are now selling more than
they buy abroad, but Africa imports a
good deal more than it exports. The eX-
ports of Africa have increased from $751;
100000 in 1882 to $3.50 900 in 1S97.-[Port-

Tomorrow hundred young college men
are coming from Dartmouth, Amherst,

accommodation for $50 men. These are
really comfortable structures, thoroughly
waterproof, and capable of standing any
reasonable storm.
The food is plain but wholesome, and
an improvement on the ordinary boarding
house fare; plenty of good milk and eggs,
fresh bread and delicious fruit grown
close by the camp. There is a dining
room or house in the camp, which some
thoughtfully call the hash house." but

Questions for railroad commIssIot

Questions for Railroad Commission.
The voters who are to meet tomorrow
Saturday at p. m, to take action
upon the cecision lately rendered by the
railroad commission will be interested in
the following clipping taken from the
"Northheld News; The state railroad
commission has accomplished something
at last. According to current item the
Boston & Maine railroad filed a petition
asking that two highway grade crossings
in the town of Westminster be abolished
and that an underpass be constructed to
take their place. A hearing was held
and 1t is announced that the commission
has ordered that the change be made,
practically as requested by the railroad
company. At White River Junction the
people have been trying for a long time
to get a change in a dangerous grade
crossing where more people cross the
half dozen tracks each day than cross
the single track at Westminster each
month or possibly year. After consider
able expensive elaboration on the mat
ter, the railroad commission announced
less than three months since that 1t had
no jurisdiction in the case. In both in
stances the question was on the abolish
ment of a grade crossing. Was there
such dissimilarty in the two cases that
in one the commission had the power
to abolish the crossings and in the other
1t had no turisdiction2 Or has the COM
mission made the discovery since its an
nouncement a few weeks since, that it
has some power after all? An authorita-
tive answer to these questions would be
of interest

terday the four mile race for Dared
crews. Yale clinched victory in the last
half mile, and on the finish line led by
a scant two lengths. There were two
minor races, the Yale freshmen winning
from the Harvard freshmen, but in the
4 cared event, the Harvard quartet had
an easy victory. Harvard took the lead
at the start in the cared race and held
it until near the two-mile mark There
was see-sawing in the next two miles,
Harvard leading at three miles, but the
real fight came in the last mile, when
Chittenden, the Yale coxswain, called on
his men for a mighty effort, to which
they responded so strongly that they
gradually pulled away from Harvard.
