POOR PROSPECTS FOR SETTLEMENT
Ministers Are Agreed Upon the Terms of Chinese Settlement
 But Powers Are Not

Pekin. July 16.-The ministers of the powers now freely admit that the pros- pect of a conclusion of negotiations Is growing darker. The situation Is most serious, as the deadlock has continued for more than month The meeting arranged for today was postponed be- cause 1t was apparent that the proceed ings would be fruitless.
 It was at the meeting of July il that the ministers reached something in the nature of an agreement as to the in- demnity. But almost immediately radi- cal difference developed between Great Britain and Russia as to the details of the plan of payment. All the ministers were in accord with the statement early in June subject to the approval of their governments, but Great Britain disap- proved the arrangement on the ground that 1t did not adequately protect her commercial interests.
 The neutral ministers assert that either Great Britain or Russia must make material concessions before a con- clusion of the agreement if possible.
 Meanwhile the committees of the min isters are working upon comparatively unimportant details, such as improve ments in navigation; but if the finan- cial question was settled the negotiations could be closed in a day.
 Ii Hung Chang keeps sending strenuous requests to the ministers of the powers to present complete plan. He repre- sents that China Is willing to accept any reasonable terms and is chiefly anxious to know definitely what the powers re- quire so that she may begin compliance with the terms.
 The ministers regard newspaper accu- sations of procrastination on their part as exceedingly unjust. The governments, and not the ministers are responsible, the ministers say, for the deadlock.
