PREMIUM LIST
OF the County Fair In Medicine Lodge October
z2nd, 23rd and 24th.

The members of the Medicine Lodge
Fair Association have arranged to give
a number Of premiums for exhibits at
she county fair. The prizes are as largo
as the association could afford for the
beginning, but if the people of the coun-
ty show sufficient interest in tho fair
next month the association promises to
make the premiums more valuable next
year.
A good county fair will help Medicine
Lodge and Barber county, in the way Of
advertising our resources, moro than
anything, and every citizen should be
willing to encourage it all he can. Any
kind of ''doin's'' that will bring a
crowd to the town helps every business
man financially, and county fair that
will bring four times the number any
other attraction will draw will increase
his financial benefits more than four
fold.
Following is the premium list:

EXPLANATION OF DELAY
TWO POWERS DECLINE TO ACCEPT
THIS COUNTRY'S PROPOSITION.
Unwilling to Scale Chinese Indemnity
and Payment of First INSTALL
ment Has Been Blocked.

WASHINGTON, March Inquiry here
discIoses the fact that the delay in the
distribution of the first installment of the
Chinese indemnity. amounting to 1,l25 600
taels, among the powers. grows out of the
refusal of certain powers to accept the
proposition of the United States looking to
the slight pro rata reduction of their
claims to bring them within the total which
China agreed to pay. The report of the
ministers who were charged with the con-
solidation of the claims Of the various
countries who suffered from the Boxer up
rising showed that these amounted in the
aggregate to 462 900, 900 taels. Before that
total was reached China had agreed to
pay the sum of 45000O.O00 taels as com
pensatjon in full for all injuries inflicted
by the Boxers. Rather than undertake to
reopen the negotiations with China with
a view to forcing the country to undertake
To pay the 100000 taels additional the
United States government proposed to the
powers interested that each should scale
down it's total claim in an amount suf-
ficiept to wipe out this small balance of
100000 taels, but, as already stated, the
proposal has met with strong objections
on the part OF at least two powers.

AN ULTERIOR MOTIVE
OBJECT OF PRINCE HENRY's VISIT
MORE THAN PLAIN FRIENDSHIP.
Germany, 1t Is Said, Wants Permis-
sion to Maintain n Large Fleet
in the Caribbean Sea.

NEW YORK, March TT am informed
from a trustworthy source" says the Ber-
lin correspondent of the Herald, "that the
ultimate object of Prince Henry's visit to
Washington is TO bring about an agreement
by which Germany will be permitted to
maintain a large fleet in Caribbean waters
TO serve for the protection of the German
settlers and property rights imperiled by
the frequent revolutions in the South Amer
lean republics. In official correspondence
the fleet of German warships assembled at
Laguayra is styled as that of the Ameri
can station. Captain Stiege, of the Vineta,
has just received the title of commodore
and will be commander of the South Amer
lean fleet, henceforth flying his own ensign.
Although the fleet was sent to Venezuela
only for the enforcement of rights guaran-
teed TO German capital and citizens. it al
ready consists of five vessels. and it is in
tended to steadily increase this number.
"A difficult issue is the acquisition of a
repair dock and coaling station. The hope
is entertained here that no objection will
be made to the maintenance of the feet in
the West Indies because it is intended to
be entirely for defensive purposes and not
TO acquire territory. Protection is desired
especially because the Berlin government
now undertakes the task of directing the
America. Heretofore the work had been
performed by the Hanseatic League and the
colonial societies. The bureau is at the
home office, of which Count Won Buelow
is officio presiding officer. 1t is mainly
intended to induce German emigrants to
settle in German colonies, or, if they cannot
be induced to go there, to settle in South
America. where the home ties are still pre-
served.
The Indianapolis journal. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1867-1904, 1902-03-08

The matter led to understanding that
there would be effort to force a vote
next Tuesday night the element opposing
the committee plan expressing a willing
ness to have full discussion. Several plans
of compromise were put forward in a
tentative way during the day, but they
lacked defniteness, and neither side felt
disposed to admit that the stage of COM
promise had been reached.
Representative Morris, Of Minnesota to-
day gave out a reply to Chairman Payne's
statement of yesterday on Cuban conces-
sions. After controverting Mr.. Payne
statement as to the Morris proposition, Mr.
Norris concludes as follows: Mr.. Payne
knows that this was proposed I'm no spirit
of hostility either TO the President or to the
ways and means committee. but, on the
contrary, as a suggestion which would pre-
vent the House from benig placed in an at
titude hostile to the President and would
bring peace and harmony in the Republican
party and would restore confidence to our
domestic sugar producers. In the advance
ment of this proposition no attempt was
the wisdom of the ways and means COM
mittee. 1 do not think 1t wise or conducive
to harmony that Republicans, and especial
ly the chairman of the ways and means
committee. should be making statements
in the nature of arguments in the public
press while the conferences of the Repub-
licans are in progress. l have refrained
from doing this SINCE these conferences be-
gan, but l feel that cannot remain silent
in the face of Mr.. Payne's statement"

NO NEWS OF THE ETRURIA
DISABLED CUNARD LINER SOME
WHERE OFF THE AZORES.
Has Not Been Seen Since March ., but
Is Hourly Expected to
Reach Port.

LONDON, March S.-A dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Horta, Azore islands, dat
ed March Z, says the Cunard line steamer
Etruria is hourly expected at that port.
About o'clock of the evening of Feb. 26,
continues the correspondent of the Daily
Mail. a rumblins in the engine room of
the Etruria, followed by a crash, an
nounced that the propeller had gone. and it
was soon discovered it had carried the rud-
der away with it. The Etruria was then in
latitude 40:03 north longitude 40:S6 west.
She was having fine weather, although not
long before the weather had been bolster
Gus. There was no excitement among the
passengers when they learned of the acci-
dent. They dined and spent the evening
in their usual manner.
An hour previous to losing her propeller
the Etruria had exchanged goodnight sig
at a distance of about forty miles. and had
dispatched various wireless telegraphic
messages from her passengers for delivery
in New York. Immediately after the ac-
cident the Etruria tried. but unsuccess-
fully, again to call up the Umbria. The
same night the British steamer William
Cliff was signaled. The William Cliff stood
by the Etruria until daylight when an
arrangement was made to tow the Gu
harder. On the morning of Feb. q the
British tank steamer Ottawa, from Phila-
delphia Feb. II, was sighted. The Ottawa
stood by the Etruria until March 2. Nearly
two days were spent in rigging jury rud-
der, during which time the Etruria was
towed less than fifty miles.
