WHAT CHINA MUST PAY.
Most OF the Powers VIII Demand
Enormous Indcmnitics.

Washington. April 19.-The last ad-
vices to the state department from Mr.
Rockhrl contain further details re-
specting the amount OF the lndemnities

pears that these claims have been much
exaggerated In some statements al
though the sum total is still far In ex-
cess of the amount OF money Il is be-
lieved here that China can raise. II is
the belief OF the state department that
the total claims should not be allowed
tn exceed $50 100000 or $500. 100000. Ac-
cording 20 information received here
the British claim, 50 far as formulated.
Is reasonable in amount as compared
with other claims. In fact the United
states and Japan represent IN these ne
gotiations the moderate element whose
desire is 10 prevent the imposition OF
charges that shall destroy the Chinese
government and result In the DIVISION
OF the empire None OF the claims eN-
coed 500 0O0, 600 and even the largest Is
something less than this amount This
is believed 20 be the Russian claim,
which Is fixed at Ss0,0OO.OOO The GER
man claim is flexible ranging between
$50. 600 600 and $s0.cOO,O00 but u nearer

THE PANAMA
NEGOTIATIONS.
Hay Decides to Pursue The Subject
Further.
IL SOUNDING THE SENATE.
Impossible To Predict the Result As
Vet There IL No Question Of
Quid pro $50.

Washington, April 13.-There is au-
thority for the following statement Of
the status Of the Panama negotiations:
After the adjournment Of the Sem
ate and the lapse Of the pending Hay
Pauncefote treaty Secy, Hay decided
to pursue the subject further. But to
avoid the possibility of another failure
for the same reasons as brought about
the loss Of the Hay -Pauncelote treaty
the secretary determined to reverse the
usual method OF procedure in framing
treaties. He therefore concluded to
first consult the ratfying power Of the
United States Senate to ascertain If
It was possible for the senators to agree
upon the basis OF a treaty, which
should be at the same time acceptable
to the executive branch Of the govern
ment and to Great Britain. II was
realized that unless two thirds al least
of the Senate could be brought into
agreement in advance upon the basis
Of the treaty ii would be perfectly use
less for the executive to embark IN
negotiations with Great Britain for the
formation OF another convention,
'Seoy Hay is deyoting himself nov
TO the asceTtainment Of the feelings and
desires OF the senators and consequent
~, not having completed this work, he
has not begun negotiations for a new
treaty. 1t is not an easy undertaking
to test the Senate IN this fashion, not
only because Of the number Of senator's
who must be sounded, but also be-
cause of the indecisiOn Of some Of the
men who rank as leaders. II Is not
even possible To predict now, because
The results obtained are so inconclusiVe
that the state department will not be
able TO acquaint Lord Pauncefole with
the basis upon which IL Is willing to
negotiate for treaty before the am
bassador sails for London next June II
is even possible that Lord Pauncefote
may feel II incumbent upon him to de-
lay his departure for a time, or even TO
omit HIS leave altogether II by so doing
he can better ascertain the senatorial
conditions. Tor the ambassador isnatur-
ally DESTROYS 10 assure himself Of sue

Summit county suit in which the sons
of Edward Payson Ferry ask for an
accounting Of some s2,OOO,O0O worth of

dends on the stock,
