LAST DAYS OF OCCUPATION
FINAL PREPARATIONS FOR THE
EVACUATION OF PEKIN BY THE
POWERS ALMOST CONCLUDED.

PEKIN, June 16-The foreign ministers
say that, although Yesterdays meeting
did not result in the settlement of mat
ters, still things are working most salts
factory towards a conclusion, and that
the amount of the indemnity and the
per cent interest rate were almost agreed
upon. the only hitch being in regard to
Japan, which country cannot borrow
money under 8 per cent 1t is the de-
sire ON the part of most Of the ministers
to arrange this sentence as it Is felt
Japan deserves special consideration.
The probability is that additional bonds
will be given sufficient to cover the loss.
Special Commissioner RockhiN, of the
United States, has agreed to add 8 per
cent to the tariff, provided China would
agree to the widening and dredging of
the Shan ST and Pei Ho' rivers, and also
to certain tariff reforms.
The ministers consider it certain that
everything will be ended by July. All
the troops except the legation guards WIZ
have left by the end OF August.
The Germans tomorrow will turn over
to the Chinese the winter palace for
preparation for occupation ny the court.

hensive resume of the commerce of the
\ United States with Russia and with

the latest extract from the work en-

Consul Heenan, Of Odessa, says that
an interesting feature of the trade with
Russia in 1900 was the demand for Ameri-
can agricultural machinery such as har-
Vesters, binders, reapers, mowers, horse
rakes, ETC., in sections of the country
where these machines had previously
been but little used. This was notably
the case in Poland. The reason given was
the scarcity of labor owing to the heavy
immigration from that district during
late years. The introduction of horse
power threshers by an enterpris;ng
American probably is the advance guard
OF an enormous trade in these machiIus

Country in Community
of Interests.

CHICAGO, June 16.-Thc Tribune VIII
say: That the Hartman combine has Sc
cured control of the Chicago, Milwaukee
G St. Paul, and that composite agree
ment has been made to perfect a COM
munfty Of interests among roads with
tracks enough to twice belt the globe, is
generally accepted in railroad circles.
The sudden departure of Mr.. Hartman
for the East, accompanied by President
j. J. Mitchell, of the Illinois Trust and
Savings bank, was announced in support
of the statement that Mr.. Mitchell and
other bankers would furnish the funds
for the completion of the Milwaukee and
st. Paul transfer.
The meeting of Western officials with
Mr.. Hartman Is believed to have been
the result Of the recent controversy over
the control Of the Northern Pacific
which drove short holders to cover at
$1,000 a share. A few small roads out of
Chicago are not parties to the agree
ment but it is understood they will m
sent to anything that will maintain rates
and end the squabbIe that has been kept
up in the past among the various West
ern lines
1t was asserted tonight that all the
roads west, northwest and southwest
from Chicago to the Pacific coast viii be
controlled in the future by the following
interests:
Lines west Of Chicago to the Pacific
coast by Hartman, Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
and the Rockefellers. Lines northwest
from Chicago by Hill and Morgan.
Lines south from st. Louis by Gould
and the Rockefellers
Lines southwest from Chicago by the
Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe, to which
will be added before long the Chicago,
Rock Island & Pacific.
j. P Morgan and E. H. Hartman,
however, will be the real dictators and
direct the policy to be pursued by these
combinations, thus establishing "the COM
munity of interests" which has been
the dream of Mr.. Morgan.

Into National Legislature.


Washington, Dec. 1.-THE Maryland
friends in congress Of Rear Admiral
Schley have determined to bring his
case TO the attention Of congress and
seek there the vindication they claim

cite Admiral Dewey's conclusions Of
the court Of inquiry, giving Admiral
Schley the credit for the victory of the
battle of Santiago. Senator McComas
will introduce the resolution in the
senate and probably Mr.. Mudd SINH
lar one in the house. If deemed expe-
dent, an effort will be made to give
Admiral Schley the rank of vice admi-
raj. The resolutions will be prepared
promptly and introduced in both
houses, and an attempt will be made
TO have early action on them.
Mr.. NJ. A. league, one Of Admiral
Schley's counsel before the court Of in,
quiry and who also was a guest at the
dinner, said that the admiral would not
seek retrial of the case under any cir
cumstances. His desire and that Of his
friends was TO be relieved of the cen
sure imposed upon him by the report Of
the majority of the court of inquiry
nor, he added, would there be any suit!
instituted having in view the obtain
ing Of money for libclous publications
affecting him.
Mr.. league says that vigorous bill
of exceptions to the conclusions of til
