SEVEN MORE VICTIMS.
Added to the List of Those Who Per
 ished in Fridays Gale.

lshed in Fridays Gale.
 Chicago, May 27.-A special to the Tribune from Milwaukee says:
 Seven more victims have been added to the list of those perishing in last Fridays gale. This fact became known to-day when waterlogged, dismantled hulk, all that remains of a schooner, was sighted ten miles off shore, be- tween Sheboygan and Milwaukee, by an incoming steamer. Beyond it is the wreck of the three-masted schooner c. H. Hackley of this city, which met the storm while on it's way to Sheboygan
 The Hackley, which was manned by Captain Oertling and crew of six men, was at Sheboygan the night of Friday. It's failure to reach port and stories of floating wreckage had arous- ed the fear that the vessel was lost but no confirmation of the disaster was obtained until to-day.
 That Captain Oertling and his six seamen escaped is believed impossible as had they reached shore they would have been heard from long ago. and if cast adrift on wreckage they could not have survived the wild storm of Fri day
 No schooner except the HackIey is missing, all that were out during the gale having reported since A tug will be sent out to locate the derelict. and if possible, recover the schooner and the cargo.

CLASH AT PEKIN.
Germans and Americans Have Trou-
 ble Over Legation Street.

Germans and Americans Have Iron
 ble Over Legation Street.
 Pekin, May 26.-The United States legation guard has had it's first iron ble. Legation street is being repaired near the legation, and an American sentry was placed at the point with orders to direct persons around by a side street. Everybody obeyed with the exception of the Germans. both officers and soldiers. who have caused the, American sentries much trouble.
 One of the German officers drew his sword and charged an American sol dier, who brought his bayonct to charge whereupon the officer de- sisted. Subsequently a German sol ed, hitting another German soldier near the German legation, quarter of mile off. This, fortunately, was only slight flesh wound. The sen try has been placed under arrest and Major Robertson has begun an inyes- tigation.
 The attitude of Dr Mumm yon Schwatzenstein, German minister. rep resenting the civilians, and Count von Waldersee. representing the military, as we'll as that of other high officials. has been particularly friendly toward the Americans. which makes all the more pronounced the unfriendly feel ing evinced by a majority of the Ger man officers and men. This unfriend- liness is attributed to the American attitude in retaining control with the legation guard of one entrance to the Forbidden city. which the Germans consider a reflection upon their na- tional honesty.

LIMITING THE INDEMNITY.
Proposition May Be Agreed to Before
 the End of the Week.

lHG IIDQ OI- tie week.
 Pekin, May 27.-It seems probable that Great Britain's proposition limit ing the indemnity to be demanded from China 10 45e,OO0,0O0 taels will be agreed to by the end of the week. Unit ed States Special Commissioner Rock hill thinks this may be considered an American victory. Though his propo- sition limiting indemnity to 31o,00O. GOO taels as not accepted. still it as the cause of the other powers considering the idea. The only point likely to cause further delay i'll decision by all the powers except America is that re- garding the raising of the foreign GUS toms five per cent.
 Mir Rockhill told the ministers at q recent meeting that rather than take this step America would relinquish all claim to indemnity and even make a money present to China, as American commercial interests would suffer far more thereby than those of any other power. with possibly one exception.

WILL DECIDE TOMORROW.
On the Date for the Closing of the 1901 Session of the Legislature.

On the Date for the Closing of the
 1901 Session of the Legislature.
 Hartford, May 27.--It will be defi- nitely decided tomorrow on what date the session of 1901 is to come to close. Almost all of the matters that will take time for discussion have now been passed over, and it only re- mains to take up the important con- Stltutlonal reform measure and to de- eide whether or no there should be a convention called to consider the re- districting of the s@ate It is not ex- pected that there will be many other matters that will require much dis cussion, though there are, of course, many important questions to come up.
 The constitutional amendment com mittee will early this week report on the matter of a constitutional con- vention. It is/understood that there will be two reports, the minority only in favor of a convention. The course that it seems now will probably be followed will be to pass the so-called F,yler amendment which will then go over two years for the next general assembly to take up. The Fyler amendment will probably come up for debate shortly.
 The special order of the day for Wednesday will be on the favorable report on woman suffrage, admitting women as municipal voters Follow ing that will come the postponed de- bate on the free text book bill, which will start considerable discussion. The long awaited Derby trolley extension from New Haven is also due this week. and favorable report will be sent in. The incorporation committee will give several hearings this week on the new incorporation law, which is now one of the most important mat ters still left undecided.
