CAN'T AGREE ON INDEmNITIEs
Demands Of European Powers Far in Excess f
Our Own
(By the Associated Press


Washington, March 20-Another COM
munication was received today from Spe-
cial Commissioner Rockhill touching the
complications that have resulted at Pekin
from the efforts of the various powers to
reach uniform basis for their indemnity
claims but there is nothing TO Indicate
that an agreement is any nearer than it
was when this subject was first taken up
by the minister Although the State De-
partment is more than ever convinced
that its suggestion looking to the refer
ence of the entire subject of indemnities
to The Hague commission is the true solu-
tion of the difficulty, that proposition
having been definitely rejected early in
the negotiations, is not now before the
ministers.
1t is stated that the sum total of the
indemnities claimed by all nations can
not be calculated at this moment, be-
cause of the lack of agreement among
the powers on the very basis of settle
ment But assuming that other powers
are willing to accept the scheme of ad-
justment proposed by the United States,
allowing a certain amount for each mis-
sionary killed or riured and another al
lowance for property destroyed, the sum
total of the claim would be considerably
less than $3.50 600, GOO. 1t is not doubted
that under economical administration
with order completely restored and with
free access to the intcrior of China. the
Chinese revenues would be able to meet
this charge against them within a rea-
Sonable time.
But it appears almost hopeless now to
expect the other powers to accept the
same basis of compensation that would
satisfy the United States Government.
Not only is there a vast difference in
the scale of the demands based on Mill
tary expenditures, but there also is a
very radical difference of opinion as to the
treatment of the native Christians who
have suffered in person and property by
the. Boxers, and it is believed that if this
element is to be treated with the liber-
ality proposed by some of the European
nations the indemnities claimed will be
nearly 500, 100000 in the aggregate, an
amount it is declared beyond the ability
of China to meet.

RUMOR THAT JUSTICE GRAY is TO

AS TO HIS SUCCESSOR
GBY rELE IRAPH TO THE TR1BUSr.I


Washington Feb. 1.-THE speculation which
a year ago based the possible retire
ment of Justice Horace Gray from the United
states Supreme Court under the age limit. has
been revived with renewed energy and interest.
although vithou' known cause. Justice Gray
attained the age of retirement which is sew
enty-two years. last March, and this interesting
circumstance gave rise to much gossip at that
time as 10 whether or not he would claim the
privilege provided by the Iax. No reason other
than this has ever been assigned for Justice
Gray quitting the bench. His appearance indi-
Gates that he is in the enjoyment Of robust
health and the proceedings of the Supreme
Court still bear testimony to the unimpared
continuation of his old time mental vigor and
clarity. But in spite of this number of in
fuential and we'll informed public men in Wash
ington have revived the talk Of Justice Gray's
retirement from the bench at a comparatively
early cate. which TO them means that il may
occur within the next year two.
Naturally, this has given rise to a good deal of
speculation as to his successor 1t probably is
significant that the speculation is not only
fined 10 Massachusetts lawyers. but also that IT
takes account almost wholly of only two names
Under the unwritten law which governs the
President in the selection of members Of the Su-
preme Court the vacancy that would be caused
should Justice Gray retire would belong to New
England. Justice Gray was Chief Justice of the
Massachusetts Supreme Judicial Court when
President Arthur in 1881 called him TO the
tribunal of last resort at Washington The
learned Judge who now occupies the place in
Massachusetts, that was so long adorned by Jus
tce Gray is Oliver Wendell Holmes. jr., of
the late AutOCrat Of the Breakfast Table, and
regarded by many writer's on Jurisprudence as
one Of the greatest jurists of the day.
Justice Holmes is being much talked about as
the probable successor of Justice Gray. Is
also Alfred Hemenway, of Boston, an acknowl-
edged leader Of the Massachusetts bar and the
law partner of Secretary Long. The Governor
once offered Mr.. Hemenway a place in the Su-
preme Judicial Court of Massachusetts, but he
declined it. AS these the only names that
are now being discussed for the vacancy that
would be caused by the retirement Of Justice
Gray. it is considered likely that they will he

e
Washington. Feb. 1.-THE President sent n
the Senate to-day seventy-fve nominations ~
officers OF the Navy and Marine Corps for pro-
motions and brevets in reward for DISTINGUISHED
services in the Santiago fight and other engage
rnents IN the Cuban blockade. The Naval pro-
motions are siXty-seven in number. and there
are eight brevets in the Marine Corps All Of
these advancements are made on recommenda-
tions OF Naval Boards which thoroughly consid-
cred all official reports two years ago In a few
instances the relative promotions by numbers
have been affected by the Naval Personnel bill
and in these cases this sequence originally recon-
mended is preserved. There is no difference be-
tween the nominations sent in to-day and those
submitted in 1899. Rear-Admiral Sampson the
commander Of the feet, will Just pass over Rear
Admiral Schey, who was his immediate subordi-
nate. and in the order they will be under Ad-
miIal Dewey the ranking officers after Rear
Admiral Howells retirement, which is expected
10 occur in few weeks. There is unfortu-
nateiy no apparent abatement in the opposi-
ton which has long delayed many OF these
well earned honors and il is REGARDED as ex-
trenely unlikely that any considerable number

THANKS OF CONGRESS RECOMMENDED
President Mckinley also sent a message 10
toASfeSS urging that thanks be given 10 Ad-
miral Sampson and his officers and men, for his
work in the war with Spain commander of
the North Atlantic Squadron. The message is
follows.
During our recent war with Spain the United
States naval force the North Atlantic Sta
in was charged with varied and important
duties, chief among which were the main
tenance of the blockade of Cuba aiding the
Army in landing troops ard in subsequent op-
erations and particularly in the pursuit, block
ade ana destruction OF the Spanish squadron
under Admiral CerVera.
This naval campaign, embracing objects OF
wide scope and grave responsibilities, was con-
Quoted with great ability the part OF the
commander-in-chief and Of the officers and en-
listed men under his command. 1t eliminated
in the annihilation Of the Spanish feet in the
battle Of July g. 1898. of the most men,
orable naval engag gements in history The re-
suit Of this battle was the freeing OF our At
lantic coast from the possibilities to which IL
had been exposed from Admiral Cervera's feet
and the termination Of the war upon the seas.
I recommend that, following National
preCedents. especially that in the case OF Ad-
miral Dewey and the Asiatic Squadron, the
thanks Of Congress be given to Rear-Admiral
William 7. Sampson. United States Navy, and
10 the officers and men under his command, for
highly distinguished conduct in conflict with the
enemy and in carrying on the blockade and
