One of the veteran fishermen then
spoke up.
II never saw the insects around here
before. They are smaller than the
common house fly. with larger wings
and dull red legs. They are seemingly
of short duration, for they quickly lose
their vitality and fall upon the water,
I caught several trout and found upon
cleaning them, n small handful of the
same insects, and l think that one OF
reasons why the fish have stopped bit

enre of these flies. which are known as
March flies
Another guide, who has fished
Moosehead for over 80 years, gave his
version.
II have been fishing at Spencer bay,
since the 18th and never had such poor
luck. Only caught seven trout. tried

camps, and FINELY went over to the
region around Roach river and only

at this season of the year. 1t has al

ENGLAND'S PROPOSITION
Is that China Issue a Per Cent Loan to Raise
the Indemnify.

London. May 21-The Times CORE
spondent at Pekin confirms that state
ment that Great Britain has proposed
suing a 4 per cent. loan, with a sink
ing fund of u per cent. He says that
the ministers, who have not yet met
to discuss the Chinese reply that was
received on May IL. are now consider
ing the British proposal, which is con
sidered more reasonable and to bear
more lightly on China than any that
has yet been submitted.
In his circular the British minister
admits that the sum demanded is ex-
cessive. and that its immediate pay
ment by loan would threaten China
with bankruptcy. He declares that
Great Britain favors granting the
granting the Chinese appeal for a re
duction.
He proposes that China issue bonds
to the different powers for their re-
spective indemnities. such bonds to be
negotiable and to bear interest at
per cent. with sinking fund of x
per cent. which would eXtinguish the
indemnity in Sc years. The amount
would be payable monthly to mixed
commission, which would exercise no
direct intervention in the imposition
or collection of duties.
The British minister proposes salt
tax. native customs and an increase
of the import duties by land and sea
to an effective 5 per cent. as the

FAIR PROPOSITION
For Floating the Great |ndem-
nifty Loan for China.
Each Nation to Receive Bonds, to
Dispose Of as it Sees Fit.
u China Defaults Interest. Division Of Country
May Be Prevented.

Washington. May 21.-The state de-
partment has been made fully ac-
quainted by Mr.. Rockhill with the
character Of the propositions relative
to the floating Of the indemnity loan
unfolded at Pckin. While grave Objec-
tons are perceived to the Russian pro-
Ject for q joint guarantee of the loan.
because of the immense difficulty of Sc
curing the assent of Congress to an
agreement which would entangle the
United States with foreign nations for
more than q quarter of a century at
least. there is nothing in Mr.. Rock
hills instructions that would cause him
to antasonize the British proposition.
provided il is fully developed 50 as to
secure the safety of the loan, while
assuring the integrity of China.
1t is suggested that these objections
can be best secured by causing China
to deliver to each nation bonds bearing
per cent. interest 20 the face value
Of that nations indemnity claim. The
nation holding TIE bonds could dispose
of them at its pleasure. 1t could affix
it's own guarantee and sell the bonds
in The open market.
TIE claim for the collection and dis
tribution Of interest contains the germ
of the guarantee of Chinese integI ity.
1t is proposed that an international
board of financiers collect periodically
from China the amount of income
which the ministers nj Pekin have de-
oided can be extracted without running
the country. this money to be divided
up between the powers in the shape
Of interest in exact propositions to the
bond held by them.
In case Of default by China. each ma
ton Will lose in proportion, and a spec
ial covenant will bind each power to re-
frain from individual action against
China to secure the payment of the ar
rears or to seize territory in lieu of in
terest in default. 1t is calculated that
thus each power will find it to its in
terest to prevent a division of China.
