WHAT CHINA MUST PAY
Four of the Powers Do Not Ac-
cept 1897, 100000.

New York. June ia special to the
Herald from Washington says:
Special Commissioner Rockhin has
cabled the state department that four
of the powers have not accepted 450,-
600, 900 taels 1881, 600 000) as the lump
sum to be demanded of China These
powers are Russia Germ any, France
and Japan. Diplomats accredited to
this government insist that there is no
necessity for formal acceptance by the
powers of the limit of $50. 000, 600 taels.
They point out that each power pre-
scented its claim for damages; that
these were Jumped together, and that
the aggregate was thelimit of the de-
mand accepted by the Chinese ENJOYS.
Consequently there is no necessity for
further discussion of this point. Re-
fleeing the views of their governments,
these gentlemen express doubt that
the American proposal for the refer
ence of the indemnity question at The
Hague would be adopted.

MONEY is EASY.
Speculative Interest For the
Week Is Shown.

New York, June 15.-The week has
witnessed a decline and then revival
of speculative interest. The principal
activity and strength have been in spe-
cial stocks due to individual causes,
such as hope of a Missouri acific divi-
dend. the Pennsylvania supposed
purchase of the steel company and the
rumors of a prospective interchange OF
securities between the Union Pacific
and the St Paul General develop
ments have been propitious to values,
notably the condition of the cereal
crops, the continued profitable activity
in the iron and steel trades, large rail-
road earnings and easy money both at
home and abroad as indicated by the
further reduction in the Bank of Eng
land discount rate to per cent Rail
road bonds have been in good demand.

POLITICAL NOTES.

William N. Beezeley, of Kinsley, is
Disguised with politics, and is in the
humOr just now to follow Frank
Grimes advice and get out of politics.
Beezeley represented Edwards county
in the house in 1885, and after his de-
feat by B. F. Tatum, who held the seat
last session, was Modified as much as
possible by the position of clerk to the
senate judiciary CON mittee.
Beezeley has just been turned down
as he was reaching for another piece
of pie, hence his present status of be-
ing down in the mouth. He was a can
didate for the Indian Territory town
site commissionership that has just
given to A. W. Hef1ey, of Osborne.
Hefiey landed it because it eliminated
him from the string of candidates for
the land Office jobs and smoothed out
that tangIe.
Beezeley says that it has always cost
him more to be in the political swim
than he has ever gotten out of it, and
he now draws his chips out of the
game.
Regarding the federal jobs Senator
Burton made this significant remark to
a st. Louis interviewer: There are no
vacancies now, but I shall probably
make a few recommendation for ap-
pOintn ents If that matter comes up
while I am in Washington"
The few appointments are said
here to be the United States marshal
and revenue collector. Lit Crum and
J. M. Simpson are the ones that are 70
be relieved of sitting on the anxious
bench. Senator Burton confded to
Congressma Charles Curtis before
leaving for Washington the other day
that Simpson was to be revenue col
lector
Simpson owes his good fortune to ia
vors shown the Rock Island when he
was chairman of the house railroad
committee early in the nineties.

Colonel Watterson's Remarkable
Abilities as Trcnchcrman.

Henry Walterson, the great Kentucky
editor is one of the largest eaters among
the public men of the United States His
capacity ia that respect seems unlimited.
As fair example of his capabilities two
incidents will suffice
On one occasion he attended the BIZ
monthly meeting of the Salmagundi Club
Of Louisville A banquet was one of the
attractions of these meetings. Before,
during and after the banquet there were
discussions, but the banquet was the thing
On this night IL was at the house of the
editor Of the Republican paper Of Louis
Vile. The menu was one of fourteen
courses, with the usual wines. One course
was quail and Mr. Watterson had two.
another was venison, and again he was
served twice. This happened in about half
Of the courses.
Before the end Of the dinner all the other
club members were but tasting what was
put before them, but Mr.. Wauerson was
eating all and often calling for more. When
the dinner was ended the rival editors went
to their Offices together When they reached
Newspaper Row, Mr.. Watterson said:
Colonel, am hungry. Let's go over to
Beymer's-a cafe much affected by news.

Great Scott, Watterson! I've filled all
the space in my lockers, but I'll drop in
and watch you eat"
The colonel claims that Mr. Watterson ate
two pounds of cheese half Of an immense
bologna sausage, a bowl of crackers and
drank six bottles of beer, and Mr. Wattersou
never denied IT, After this he went to the
office Of the Courier I0NyHqi and wrote his
celebrated "star-eyed goddess" editorial
that was copied and commented on all over
the United States
AT another time he entered a cafe of
which he was a regular patron and called
out to the proprietor:
What have you to eat tonight? Pm

Well, Massa Henry, I have some nice
fresh Ohio river jack salmon"
How many have you2'

"Well, bring me all six"
The Ohio river jack salmon weigh about

heir TO the throne and he was then too old
TO learn. lie was thorough Romauon
imperious and naughty. The one person
with whom he was gentle was his wife whom
he treated TO the last as though She were a
pet child. 70 his uuderlings he could be
absolutely brutal, although towards the end
of his life his manners were said TO have
wondrously improved
Before he succeeded to the throne a very
painful thing occurred which proved how
callous he could be. An officer of Swedish
origin had been sent to the United States TO
order rifles for the Russian army On his
return lac had 10 report TO the czarcwitCh
who was appointed TO superintcnd the re-
arming Of the troops. During the inter.
view the prince lost his temper and began
TO scold sharply The officer replied with
dignity, whcreupou Alexander fell into
fit Of fury and loaded the officer with insult
The man bowed himself but of the royal
presence, went home and wrote a letter to
the heirapparent asking him to apologize
within four-and twenty hours, adding that
if the apology did not come he would shoot
himself
The Czarcwtch took no notice, sent
neither excuse nor apology, and the officer
kept his word Next morning he was dead
The Car heard the story aud was very angry
with his son. He ordered him to follow
the hearse Of the officer to the grave. But
even this terrible lesson failed to cure
Alexander of his hauRhtness. The gentle
ways of the present Gar and his unwilling.
