Conger constituted the board which adjusted the claims of the American missionaries for losses sus- tained during the boxer uprising. called upon Secretary Hay today. All but two of these claims have been practic- ally settled, all that remains to com plete the settlement being the payment by the state department of the. claims in twenty-five per cent inStallments scmi-annually.
 The board having concluded its la bors the state department has been en- abled to make a summary showing tho amount claimed and allowed by mis- sionaries on account of the boxer trou~ bles as follows:
 There were filed 23O claims. amount ing in the aggregate to s3.3OS, O36 and the amount allowed was S1.514.292.
