WILL REMAIN ALOOF.
This Country Will Not Join Others in
Bearing Hard on China.

The instructions of the Department of
State to its representative in China who
Is conducting the negotiations relative to
the settlement of the indemnity look to
the retention of independence while faith
fully carrying out the engagements en-
tered into by the United States in the Pekin
agreement So the bond which China will
deliver to this agent will stipulate simply
for the payments of the installments of
the indemnity on the basis Of exchange at
the date the agreement was signed in 1900.
Whether the United States will exact the
payments in gold or silver concerns no
other nation in our own view, and the
other nations party to the agreement are
permitted to likewise exercise their discre-
ton as to the basis upon which they win
settle. Therefore efforts to disassociate
the United States from the other powers
as to the agreement of Pekin or else obIige
us to exact payments on the basis of the
present rate of exchange. which would
pear very hard upon China, will not sue
coed.

BALTIMORE PRIMARIES
VICTORY FoRWACHTER AGAINST

Mayor Hayes Defeated for Nomination
by lEr. Robert y
Mcl,ane.

Special Dispatch to The Evening STAR
BALTIMORE Md. April S.-The results
Of the mayoralty primary election yester-
day was a triumph for Representative
Frank c. Wachter over the republican or
ganization forces. Mr.. Robert M. McLane'
the democratic organation candidate. os-
feated Mayor Thomas G Hayes Dy oe-
cisive majority. The republican returns are
not yet completed, but the off1cial ngures
at 80 o'clock this afternoon are:
For mayor-Frank C.. Wachter. la'oso'

For president. second branch--E ~ Gay G
Timanus. 1921; Robert L. stevens A"''1o
Timanus' majority 1915.
Heaffner and Timanus ran on the flat'
ticket. and this makes Mr.. Wachters VIC
tory a great personal one.
The completed official democratic returns
are as follows:
McI.ane. 21.4o4: Hayes. 16. 1903: Jewell.
1913; Latrobe, 1852; McLane's plurality,
5,301: McLane's majority. 1.13O.
For president second branch city council

plurality, 1,1S6. For controller-Hooper: ~
$685. Smith. $3.50; Hooper's plurality, 3.947.
The primary was the most remarkable In
ba!t1mOreS history. There was as mucn
excitement as at the general election. The
voting was heavy from the start Business
men who never interested themselves in prt-
mary contests before stopped at the polls
en- route to business. Clerks hurried home
at the noon hour to vote instead OF eating.
and there was a rush to vote before the
polls closed.
Never before in local political history was
primary fought with such earnestness. The
fact that more than $4,000 democrats turned
out. with about q GOO republicans Is ample
evidence Of this. The polls had the ap-
pearance of general election, and there
was much more than the usual hustle and
excitement. There were half dozen
watchers in the booths continuously The
defeat of Mayor Hayes comes as crush
ing blow to that official, and means his re-
tirement from the political field.
He gave to Baltimore the greatest BUSH
ness administration the city had ever
known. His running mates also met de-
feat. and the democratic organization was
successful in nearly all councilmanfc con-
tests. 1t Is the general impression that the
nomination of Wachter means the begin
ming of the fight against the reelection Of
Senator McComas, and in the city the prob
able formation Of new city republican
organization. with Wachter at the head.

SITUATION IN THE BALKANS.
Austria and Russia Working Together
for the Christians.

LONDON, April S.-Parliament adjourned
today for the Easter holidays.
During the usual discussion Of foreign
affairs prior to an adjournment Premier
Balfour referred to the Balkan situation.
He said the saving feature was the cordial
cooperation of Austria and Russia. with
the view of imprdaing the condition of the
Christians. These two powers were more
directly interested than any others. and
what could not be accomplished by them
could not be done at all.
If the task was too difficult for them he
had feeble hopes that the other signatories
of the Berlin treaty, anxious as they were
to end the intolerable state Of things
would be able to devise any cure for the
sore disease affecting that portion of the
Turkish empire. The government, Mr. Bal
four continued. was considering sending
British officers to accompany Turkish
troops engaged in the suppression of disor-
der. with the view Of acquiring some guar
antee that no excuses were committed.
