Permanent Disagreement.

Such occupation was declared to be a
permanent Disagreement of South Wash
ington. while the proposed route would
remove the railway several blocks south,
give quite as direct and feasible an ap-
proach to the tunnel. and greatly reduce
the expense of construction.
In discussing the resolution Mr. John
son said he had studied the proposition
long and earnestly, and he believed that
the route suggested was better for the rail-
road company. He declared that, II adopt
ed, 1t would free South Washington from
the incubus which had retarded its growth.
In his view the value of property would
be greatly enhanced and the sunshine of
prosperity would once more impart prog
ress to a section of the city now hope
lessly blocked by the railroad.

To Appeal to Congress.

The resolution not only carried the
assent of the members of the association,
but nearly every one present had some
thing to say in its favor. The plan pro-
posed aroused genuine enthusiasm and
was unanimously adopted. In addition it
was voted that the railroad committee
present the matter to Congress and to
the Commissioners of the District in the
hope of having 1t adopted before the
union station bill becomes law.

CHINA AND THE POWERS.
None but the United States Inclined
to Deal Leniently.

PEKING, June 14.-In continue tion OF its
policy of leniency towards China, the
United States is taking the position that an
equitable construction of the peace protocol
would be that China should pay 45OOO0.0)O
taels, equivalent to a gold debt, at the rates
set forth in the protocol, regardless Of fluc-
tuations of silver. All the foreign ministers
at the last meeting expressed an opposite
view, and it is doubtful if any power will
support the American contention, though
China's proposals to levy the customs
duties on a gold basis is gaining strength.
1t is argued that ii is a hardship to make
the depreciation in the price of silver op-
crate against China both in the payment of
indemnity and in the collection of revenue.
The United States minister Mr.. Conger,
opposes the terms proposed for the restora-
tion of Tien-Tsin 10 the Chinese govern
ment. He considers that they impose new
and harder conditions in matter which the
peace protocol was supposed to cover.
BERLIN, June H.-According TO an Off
cial dispatch from Peking. the representa-
tives of the foreign powers unanimously
accepted the plan for the final allotment of
indemnity on account of the Boxer upris-
ing which has been urged for months past
by DR.. Mumm Won Schwartenstein. the
German minister 10 China. An unofficial
dispatch from Pekng. which was also re-
ceived here to-day, says that the ministers

there is nothing on which a postponement
might be based, unless some one of the

that no such thing as aCquittal is eX-

defense will be to reduce the degree of
crime as much as possible, the hope being
that il may be manslaughter, with a sem
tence of about twenty years.
