BALKS At A GUARANTEE
THE WASHINGTON GOVERNMENTS
STAND ON CHINESE INDEMNITY.

WASHINGTON, June 10.-The govern
ment has formally communicated to the
foreign powers the impossibiity of join
ing in joint guarantee for the payment
of the Chinese indemnify. The Difficult
ties in the way of such an arrangement
are set forth In the communication, par
ucularly those relating to the constitu-
uonal restrictions on the president in
making joint guarantee of this char
acter.
In view of the determination of the
United States not to be party to a
Joint guaranty there is anxiety shown in
diplomatic circles as to the outcome on
the question of indemnities One view
is that the majority Of the powers being
favorable TO a Joint guaranty will exc
cute this joint instrument. and thereafter
carry on concert OF their own In that
event, it is said, the United States would
arrange directly With China as TO the
American portion of the indemnity. The
representatives of most of the European
powers do not believe that a resort to
The Hague tribunal az proposed by the
United States, will be acceptable to their
governments.

! BAMBERG. Bavaria, June 10-Louis
Stern, the former nited States COM
mcrcial agent here. shot and killed him
self today in the public gardens near the
town.
On inquiry here a representative of tho
Associated Press ascertained today that
Mr. Sterns consular services at Bam-
berg yielded excellent results He pro-
noted exports of roofing slate to the
United States and he also secured for
Americans the contract for Bamberg
Electric railway. He had suffered how
ever under financial obligations incurred
in st, Paul prior to his appointment
This embarrassment greatly depressed
him, although it is understood the diff
Guilty was settled some time ago.
Ultimately he got into a morbid and
gloomy state Of mind. He imagined that
as a Hebrew his American colleagues in
Germany disliked him and also that his
Hebrew status prevented him from Sc
curing government promotion. On a GER
tain public occasion in Berlin year ago,
Mr.. Stern felt aggrieved at the tone Of
speeches made by two prominent Ameri-
cams who were present He thought the
speakers meant to belittlc him as q He
brew, all of which was purely imaginary.
During the last twelve months this
morbidness he'd grown into a settled mel
anchOlia and he entirely refused all work
except duties Of a purely routine char
acter This resulted about a month ago
in his removal.
From that moment his mCrcseness
noticeably increased, but he fingered in
Bamberg. disregarding the advice of his
friends that he should return to the
United States, where a responsible posi-
ton was open to him. He leaves
widow, but no children. 1t is understood
that his accounts are in a satisfactory
condition.
