to withdraw from Manchuria, but In her
treaty with China as to mining and other
franchises has adroitly inserted clause
which practically gives her suzerainty
over Manchuria.
1t appears from a Shanghai cable that
the Chinese government has protested
against the course Of the powers demand
ing the payment Of the June instalment
of the indemnity. without taking into ac-
count the fall of silver, at It's full gold
face. 1t is not surprising that almost
every day q new anti-indemnity riot and
killing Is reported. Anti-Christian riots
are reported from various points and 1t is
evident that anti-indemnity and anti
Christian riots are one and the same
thing. The fiowery rhetoric of the reform
edicts of the dowager empress appears alb
surd beside the actual conditions in China,
ment Of foreign capital.
The bonds issued for the payment Of the
indemnity are secured by the revenues
from customs duties chiefly. In 1899, be-
fore the Boxer uprising. the total revenue
derived from foreign imports. including
the internal tax, did not exceed $1,000, 900.
The fact is there is an imminent pros
pect that the powers will have to wait
some time before China becomes the prof
table field for capitalistic investment
they have supposed it tolbe. The indem-
nifty payments will extend through the
next thirty-f1ve years. and 1t looks as il
they will keep China in turmoil and
st ate of rebellion for many years, or un-
til there Is rational, progressive and
wise administration of the government at
Peking. -

THE CHINESE INDEMNITY.

It is reported from Washington that the
powers have declined to accept the vpropo
sition of our government that the pay
ments made by China on account of the
indemnity for the losses and expenses in
Cured by them in China in 1900, during
the Boxer troubles and occupation Of
Peking, shall be made in silver at the rate
Of exchange prevailing when the indem-
nifty Of 450,0o0,000 taels was agreed upon,
which will make a great difference with
the Chinese, as there has been heavy
fall of silver and it will take a much
larger amount of silver to make the pay
ments which must be at gold value. Our
government has urged this point in Chi
mas favor as it urged last year that the
amount of indemnity should be reduced
from 4Go, ,000, 900 taels to s200,900, 900. The
other powers have refused both PROPOSE
:tfons and the Chinese government is pay
ing in silver at current market rates, the
,nstalments of the debt which In our
money aggregates about s335,oo0,o 900. !. ;,
The payment Of the Indemnity has
stirred up revolt in several provinces of
China, not only because the people know
that the money wrenched from them is
going to foreigners, but because they are
aware that the Chinese revenue officers
are exacting from them 200 to $50 taels for
every 100 taels required, and are putting
the joyerplus in their pockets The China
man, OF course, has to do without his full
supply of rice and clothes and fuel in or
der. to meet the exactions on account Of
the debt. 5
Our government has sought in vain to
reduce the burden imposed on China, and
has been the adviser of moderation during
the progress Of the negotiations last year.
But it can hardly be expected of China
that she can have very rapturous feelings
OF friendship to foreigners under the
pressure OF the indemnity payments, the
money value OF which is, so far as two. or

do not inherit fortunes and In families where
there Is no son one is adopted as an heir.
