War Claims Amounting to About
$4,000 Will Be Paid.
WILL BE PUT TO GOOD USE
Money VIII Be Applied on State Debt,
Which Will Be Reduced as Rapidly as
Possible - Bill authorizing Payment
Ready tor Presidents Signature.

WASHINGTON, Feb. II just
before adjournment Monday eve
ming the senate concurred in the
house amendment offered by
Representative Hemenway, au-
thorizing the payment of war
claims of Indiana, Ohio, Michigan,
Illinois and Kentucky. An agree
ment was also reported on all the
other amendments of the urgent
deficiency bill, and it needs only
the presidents signature to be-
come a law.
The text of the war claims
amendment as it stands in the
bill as passed is as follows:
''That war CLAIMS arising under
the act of Congress of July 81,
1861, (12 stat, p. 276) and joint
resolution of March s, 1862 %
stat, p. 615), as interpreted and
applied by the supreme court of
the United States in the case OF
the state of New York against
the United States, decided Jan.
6, 1895 160 United States reports
p. 290) not heretofore allowed or
disallowed by the accounting Of
ficers of the treasury, shall be
reopened, examined and allowed,
and if deemed necessary shall be
transmitted to the court of claims
for finding of fact or determlna-
ton of disputed questions of law
to aid in the settlement of the
claims by the accounting officers. "
AS soon as the president signs
the bill it will be the duty of the
state Of Indiana, through the
attorney general, to proceed to
collect the money.
AS soon as the state gets the
| 500, ,000-and both attorney gen.
eral Taylor and state auditor Hart
feel assured that 1t will get 1t
the whole amount will be applied
on the state debt, which now is
So, 687, ,616.12. Of this amount,
however, only 1928, 900 can be
paid before 1915. This is the
whole state debt with the except
ion of $464, 0I0, which is owing
to Purdue and Indiana univer-
sites, on which the state must
pay five per cent interest perpet-
ually.
MIR. Taylor and Mr.. Hart say
that the Indiana claim will first
go to the auditor of the war de-
partment, who will take it up as
if it were an original claim. If
the auditor approves the claim
he will order a warrant issued
for the amount, but if he is not
satisfied he will refer 1t to the
court of claims. The state off,
GERS say it is not improbable that
the claim will be so referred. Mr..
Taylor and Mr.. Hart expect to go
to Washington in order TO make
clear to the war department any
feature of the claim ABOUT which
there may be doubt.

SCARED HIGH OVER BOSTON
PIucky Woman Views the Hub From I
Kite.

FtuCky WOUtdu ViSWS utS ttuO ! tOut
Kite.
Boston, Feb. Unsupported
500 feet in mldair by kite, a
daring little Boston woman has
taken a birdseye view of the
Hub.
Mrs. Rice enjoys the distinc-
tion of being the first woman in
the world to navigate the air with
a kite as a craft. The man who
built the kite-her husband
knew full we'll the sustaining
powers of his instrument, he says
he felt no thrill when he launch
ed her forth from the roof of the
building at 144 fremont street.
The woman lay prone in a frail
wooden frame, buoyed up by a
few square yards of canvas. float
ing horizontally and guided only
by a slender cord. with her hus-
band at the windlass far below.
'It was just like flying" said
Mrs. Rice after the feat had
been accomplished. "Never in
my life have l experienced so de-
lightful sensation as that when
the big kite went up above tho
streets and buildings of Boston.
"The kite went upward just
as easily and evenly as a bird
takes a fight. That's all / can
compare my trip-a birds flight
and nothing else. There was no
jerking, no terrible rushes to
take ones breath away. just a
push over the edge of the build
ing, a sinking sensation for a
moment, and then a delightful
gliding through space with the
creatures of the air."
During the proceedings Mrs.
Rice's life actually hung on
the cord Dy which the kite
was flown. Had the kite 'string"
broken she would would have
been hurled to her death on the
pavements or house tops.

Russian Designs in Manchuria Are
To Be Checkmated.
RUSSO. CHINESE AGREEMENT
United States viii Not Permit Ether
China or Russia TO Violate Our Trc0tu
Rights by Excluding AneriC an Com
petition in NIanChuria.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 12-Nego
tiations between the United States
government and the government
of Russia relative to Manchuria
are progressing with the exhlbi
ton of great deal of energy on
our part, though the exchanges
are in the kindliest spirit. The
attitude of the Russian govern
ment in this matter has shifted
materially since the beginning
of the negotiations. A treaty
was drawn up originally between
Russia and China providing for
the evacuation of Manchuria by
the Russian troops, who have
been in military possession of
the country since the early days
of the Boxer outbreak. This
treaty contained a great many
rather complex guarantees in
Russia's favor, but a singularly
Objectionable proviso was one
placing the Russo-Chinese bank
in practical control of the COM
mercial and material interests of
Manchuria. 1t was quickly per-
ceived that the provision, if exc
cuted, would practically exclude
Americans from competition in
Manchuria, which is very valu
able as a market for our manu-
factured cottons. Therefore
RuSsia'S attention vas directed
to our existing ri hts under a
treaty with China. and also to
her own promises made directly
to the United States government
during the early days of the Rus
sian occupation of'Manchuria.
Apparently our representa-
tions were effectual, for the OBJ
jectionable provo touching the
Russo Chinese bank was with
drawn from the treaty, and that
convention, save in minor res
poets, was regarded as objection
able. However, it has been dis
covered that the Russian gov
ernment, following a practice
known in European diplomacy,
has drawn up secret agreement
with China, comforting on the
Russo Chinese bank all the pow
ers contained in the original
treaty proviso. Therefore the
United States government has
renewed its objections, not only
addressing itself to to the Rus
sian government, but making a
strong protest to the government
of China. 1t is expressly de-
clared that in so doing our gov
ernment has acted Independently
though it is a matter of common
knowledge that other great COM
mercial powers, whose interests
in Manchuria are almost as great
as our own, have addressed Sim
liar representations to both China
and Russia.

III-Condition Unchanged.
GROTON, Mass, Feb. 1.-The
odore Roosevelt, Jr., the eldest
son of President Roosevelt has
double pneumonia. Otherwise
his condition is unchanged. The
boy is seriously sick, but it is too
early to say what the chances are
for his recovery.
This was the statement issued
by George B. Cortelyou, secre-
tary to the president, at 9 o'clock
last night, and was made after
a careful examination by DR..
Alexander Lambert, the family
physician of President Roosevelt,
who arrived here fromNew York
