He CHINESE SITUATION
Was Considered by The Cabinet
on Their Return Trip.
STILL FIRM ON INDEMNITY.

Washington May 2s--On the way
back to Washington the president and
mem bers of the cabinet are devoting a
good deal of time to the consideration
of the Chinese situation. The declina-
ton of the other powers to join in the
suggestion of the United States with
regard to scaling down the indemnity
demanded of China, was great dis
appointment, though not entirely
expected. The necessities of European
powers of the maintenance of their
large armies and navies are perhaps
a factor in their present action. The
president and members of the cabinet
feel that this government was right in
protesting against exactions which
night force China to the wall, and
from the position taken by the United
States there will be no retreat. The
demands of the other powers are con-
sidered exhorbitant and likely. if in
sisted upon. to result ultimately in the
crippling dismem berment of the
empire The United States will con-
tinue to urge this view at every oppor-
tunity- If the powers proceed alone
and force China to accede to their
demands. this government, of course,
will accept the share of the indemnity
assigned to it on the present basis. 1t
distribute such amount as is nee
essary to 1iquidate the claims of our
citizens. and subsequently determine
whether all the remainder should be
retained by the government as its
proper share. The United States is not
in favor of the proposed scheme to
raise and guarantee an international
loan for China, out of the proceeds of
which She can liquidate her indie bted-
ness to the powers. The United States
rs willing to accept the bonds of China,
without Endorsement by any power, at
, per cent interest, and thus make
manifest to the world the sincerity of
the American profession that the
United States desires TO help China to
her feet and preserve her political in
tegrity.

were surprised to find beautiful warm
weather at this point, quite equal to
what we have in May in Minnesota.
There was no snow nor trace of win

really splendid Horses, cattle and
sheep were running out, in prime con-
dition, with plenty of feed ON the prai-
RE. and really better than that of ours
stabbed in the south We i'm
pressed with this country as one of the
finest mixed farming countries we
have ever seen The immense tracts
of fertile lands well sheltered and
abundantIy watered leave nothing to
be desired.
Leaving Alberta we returned east
and visited the Yorkton district in
Assiniboia. We drove out about ten
miles at this point and were highly
pleased with the splendid samples of
grain we We're able to seeAWheat
yielding 25 bushels. oats so bushels
Roots were also good specimens From
what we have seen. We have decided
to throw in our lot with the York

country win furnish good opportuni-
ties for anyone anxious to make the
best of a really good country

LIABLE FOR STATE TAXES.
The New Statute Does Not Relieve
Counties From State Taxes.
OPINION NULLlFIES THE LAW.

Topeka, May 21.-Assistant Attorney
General b. H. Tracy has rendered an
opinion which, if upheld by the SUI
preme court, will require counties to
pay the entire amount of state tax
levied against them whether they col
lect it from the Individual taxpayers
net. If the opinion is not upheld by
tie supreme court, then the state will
lose $500, 900 in revenues this year, an
average of 500, 900 u year in the future
PEELED early in the fall to begin st amp
ing warrants mot paid for want of
funds. -
Noftzger@ law passed at thelast session
OF the legislature On its face that
law attempts to force the state to give
counties credit for their proportion of
all taxes compromised in the past and
to be compromised in the future. It
is estimated that at least $500, 900
would be lost to the state account
of past com promises. The counties
would put in those claims at once and
the state would be deprived of that
much revenue. In the future it would
not be such a hard blow, but it would
necessitate raise in the tax levy for
state purposes
The assistant attorney general holds
that the law does not apply to COM
promises state taxes, although the
author framed it for that very purpose.
The opinion, which practically multi
fies the law, rendered in reply to
a query from State Auditor George E.
Cole.

KANSAS FIGURING MILLS.
Labor EornrnIssIoner's Report of thsir
Production in 1900.

Labor commissioners Report OF their
Production in 1900.
Topeka, May 2S--The state labor
commissioners report has a chapter on
Kansas Touring mills which shows that
the manufactured product of these
mills in 1000 aggregated .473,275, OBS
pounds, of which $50, 6S3,252 pounds
was wheat flour Sixty per cent of
this wheat flour was retained in the
state and consumed 20 per cent went
ported. And yet only "a per cent of
the state T6 per cent was shipped away
to be ground The United States pro-
duced FL per cent of the whole wheat
crop of the world and of this amount
1873 per cent was grown in Kansas
Kansas produced more than any
other two large wheat growing states
in the Union last year. Continuing,
the deduction is made that if Kansas
total crop of wheat had been manufac-
tured into flour it would have made g.
621, 600, 900, pounds 70. 1000. 900 fifty
pound sacks: nearly one fifty pound
sack of flour to every man, woman and
child in the United States. In other
words Kansas could have fed its own
population for ten years. Had this
been made into bread it would have
baked 5, 600, 900, 900 loaves. Placed side
by side the 1oaves would make a
tinnous string extending T57,5-5 miles
long, thirty times around the earth
Loaded into cars it would make solid

is disgusting the fact that the law
officers realize that they have a lznotty
