REPORT ON INDEMNITlEs
Has Been Completed by the Minister'S
Committee at Pekin.


PEKIN, March 1.-THE ministers
committee has completed its report,
and the general principles to be
adopted in cases of indemnities based
upon laws in harmony with the Roman
and English systems. This decision
was not reached without considerable
discussion, some believing that the
claims of men of good reputation
should be paid in full without further
consideration. On the other hand,
a case was mentioned where a man
of high repute claims $4,000 each for
his own, his wife's and her daughters
nerves and $4,000 for property de-
stroyed, whereas it is known that the
latter estimate is more than twice
the value of all.
The negotiations, Mr.. Rockhill says,
are going on well and he sees no rea-
son why they should not be completed
in two months, with the exception of
the commercial treaties, which will
probably take long time.
General Chaffee replied to the copy
of General Yin Tschang's letter sent
him by Count Won Waldersee that he
had given instructions to the Amer
ican troops when any detachments
were sent against robbers and Boxers
to obtain to the fullest extent possible
the assistance of Chinese officials in
making arrests and Furnishing the
guilty. Regarding indemnity for
losses sustained by missionaries and
native Christians, General Chaffee
pointed out that his sentiments were
well known to the American mission
aries; that he was opposed to extor-
tion in every form, and that he ia
vored strict justice in every case, and
that he would agree quickly to his ex-
cellency's proposition that the indem-
mites Sir Robert Hart mentioned
should be settled by the diplomats.
Count Won Waldersee will leave
soon for Tsin Tau the trip possibly
extending to Shanghai. He says he
expects to return to Pekin temporarily.
1t is asserted that China has de-
cided to delay her answer to Russia
regarding the Manchurian convention
for fortnight.
The ministers of the powers have
resolved to modify the legation plans
so as to allow the five government
boards to remain in the occupation
of the Chinese.

Since potatoes have gone soaring
off into the regions of extraordinary
prices the question Las been raised
whether they are of much value for
food anyhow. One hundred pounds
of potatoes contain on an average 49,
pounds of water and oil pounds of
dry matter. OF this dry matter 17-3
pounds are digestib1e- The digestib1e
matter consists chiefly of starch,
which is just about the least valuable
of all digestible nutrients. The water
in the potato is neither more nor less
nutritious than that taken from the
we'll. For nutritiye purposes pound
OF wheat Is worth In dollars and cents
almost seven times as much as a
pound of potato. The physiological
effects of the potato are thought to be
good Doubtless this and other fresh
vegetable substances have their uses.
But persons who find potatoes too
costly for general use may congratu-
late themselves on the fact that for
repairing the waste of the body and
for giving strength the potato
amounts to very little anyhow For
these purposes rice is worth more
than Il times as much--kansas

it is very instructive, moral and highly
entertaining and the lessons of what kind
