CHINA FOOTS THE BILL.
Immense Expense Account Is Being
Piled Up by the Powers.

Washington, Jan. THE state de-
partment is making a strong effort to
secure an understanding among the
powers TO serve as a basis for the ad-
justment of the question of indemnity
to be paid by the Chinese government
1t appears from Mr.. Congers reports
that it is hopeless to expect the foreign
ministers at Pei<in to reach an agree
ment on this important subject, and if
the problem is to be solved at all, ii
must be removed from the Pekin council
and dealt with by direct diplomatic
exchange, as was successfully attempt

tiations have not proceeded to a point

termination is in sight.
The principal difficulty in the way is
believed to be the enormous indemnities
demanded by some Of the powers. The
efforts of the Chinese government to
secure better terms, SO far as they tend
to pretract the negotiations also are
expected to have the result Of adding
