DEBATING THE INDEMNITY.
Who VIII Go China's Security Now
the Question.

Washington, June 4.-The plan of a
modus vivendi on the subject of the
Chinese indemnities is now receiving the
earnest attention of those interested in
the Chinese negotiations, the purpose be-
ing to prevent this indemnity question
from causing any interruption in the con-
cert of the Powers, and at the same time
to remove the indemnity issue itself so
that progress can be made on the remain
ing subjects of negotiation, chief of
which is the conclusion of permanent
treaties between China and the several
Powers. The question over the indem-
nifty arose during the Presidents Western
trip but since the return OF the President
and Secretary Hay it has been taken up
anew and thoroughly gone over with the
foreign representatives chiefly concerned,
including the British, Russian and French
ambassadors and the Japanese minister.
As result of the exchanges of the
last few days the question has resolved it
self into about the following basis:
There is no further issue as to the to-
tai of indemnity, that being agreed upon
there remains the question of how this
amount shall be paid. The Russian sug-
gestion, which appears to have the ap-
proval of a majority of the Powers, is
that China issue bonds for the full amount
and that all the Powers then unite in
giving a joint Endorsement or guaranty,
of the payment of them. The desire has
been not only to secure the assent of a
majority of the Powers to this scheme
but the unanimous approval of all of
them. This, however, has not been ac-
complished up to this time, and it is for
this reason that the modus vivendi is
now being considered as a possible means
of bringing about united action.
Britain and Russia Do Not Agree.
The British government is not favorable
to the Russian proposition and the Brit
ish view has taken form in plan to have
China issue her own bonds to the sew
eral governments, each government there
after adopting it's own course as to an
individual guarantee The chief difficulty
which the United States finds to a Joint
guarantee, IS that the constitution does
not authorize the executive to guarantee
bonds in the absence of the approval of
Congress. As to the attitude of Congress,
it has been stated during the negotia-
tions that much doubt existed whether
the Legislative branch would approve a
joint guarantee of such vast total OF
bonds Moreover, the American view
has been that 4 per cent. bonds, as con-
templated by Russia, would not be a
prudent investment for the United States.
since the United States sells bonds read
lily at 2l5 per cent, whereas Russian 4
per cent. securities sell at 9S cents on the
dollar.

A HARD FOUGHT BATTLE.
Beers and British Fought Desperate
ly at VInkfOntein.

London, June "Details received re-
garding the fighting at Vlakfontein show
that it was one of the most desperate
engagements of the war. Gen. Dixon's
column was traversing the district and
establishing posts when it was attacked
by 1900 Beers under Commandant Kemp.
The Beers were so close that fifty Brit
ish fell at the first volley.
The yeomanry held the position, pro-
tecting the guns until they were nearly
decimated, and then. finding it impossible
to save the guns, the artillerymen shot
the gun horses to prevent the Beers NOV
ing the guns. The column quickly recov-
cred from the shock of the unexpected
attack. The Derbyshires charged with
bayonets and after a short, desperate
fight drove off the Beers and recovered
the guns. The Derbyshires and yeomanry
both lost very heavily.
1t it asserted that while
the Beers had temporary
possession of the guns they shot two
artillerymen in cod blood for refusing to
work them against their own comrades.

TO SMASH GREAT BRITAIN.
But United States Will Come to Her
Aid, Says Carnegie.

-1hos says
London, June 4.-'Mark my words"
said Mr. Andrew Carnegie tonight to a
repress sntative of the Associated Press,
the time is coming when the Continen-
tai Powers will combine to smash up
this little island of Great Britain When
that happens she will have to turn to
the United States for help.
Il feel certain it will not be refused.
The United States will step in and say
Don't They will act just as Great
Britain did in the Spanish-American War.
What she did then was great and it is
not half realized yet
When Mr.. Carnegie gave utterance to
these sentiments he was in Langham Ho-
tel, London, where he had arrived from
Scotland for the Chamber of Commerce
gatherings. Until tonight he had stead
fastly refused to be interviewed
Resuming the topic of Anglo-American
relations, Mr.. Carnegie said:
Il believe in the community of the Eng
disappearing races, by which l mean
that the Americans and the British are
now closer than ever before, Could you
get better instance than the visit of
the delegates of the New York Chamber
of Commerce at Windsor last Saturday?
1 suggested it and King Edward took it
up the idea thoroughly. 1t was a fitting
commencement of the new reign.
Il know how deeply interested King
edward is in the United States. have
known since the time, years ago, when l
drove him on a locomotive in the United
States. which, by the way. he did not for
get when we met under different condi-
tions.
The idea that the visit of our delegates
to Windsor can be in any way construed
as King Edwards recognition of Amer
lean commercial superiority is all non
sense. The King is full of tact and of
friendship for our country"
'Do you think" Mr.. Carnegie was ask
ed 'fhat British enterprise can be suffi-
ciently stimulated to meet American COM
petition?"
oh, they can't compete with u.s." re-
piled Mr.. Carnegie, with a smile.

M'LAURlN WRITES kLETTER.
Upon what He Bases His Claims to
he n JeRersoninn Democrat,

Columbia, S. c.. June A lengthy
statement was given out tonight by Sem
'stor McLaurin. II was called forth by
a letter from w. f. Clayton. a leading
Republican in this state. asking him to
define wherein his policies and principles
differed from those of the Republican
party.
Mr.. McLaurin sketches the Jefferson
and Hamilton policies. maintaining that
those of Jefferson were identical with
many of those now indorsed by the Re
publican party They were supported by
Calhoun, Cheves and Lowndes OF South
Carolina. The Democratic party granted
the first ship subsidy to line to Great
Britain, and indorsed such internal i'm
provements as the Pacific roads and the
Nicaragua canal. Calhoun and Lowndes
opposed Madison's reduction of the army;
Jackson made the first reciprocity treatv.
Mr.. McLaurin contends that he stands
with his party as do many old line Lead
ers who refuse to follow Bryan, who Ia
ten years has not been a Democrat, and
whose Populist and socialist policy is sui
cidal to the party. The Democratic party
has never denied any man free thought
and speech. In four thousand words, Mr.
McLaurin argues that the Democratic
party, in following Bryan on side road,
has left him pursuing the old beaten
highway.
