forced by the discomfort of the Euro
pean powers at China's refusal to pay
the second installment Of the Boxer
indemnity In gold, to regard the Chi
nese question as one OF the most me-
zon of world politics. The United
States has always said that the pro
tocol signed by the powers provided
for the payment of the installments of
The indemnity at the rate of exchange
prevailing in April, 1901. The Euro
pean powers insist that each payment
shall be made at the rate of exchange
prevailing at the time OF payment.
1t is feared that the impatience of
Russia, Germany. Britain and other
powers will develop into something

claims have always been regarded by
the United States government as ex-
tortionate, and they have always been
credited with the desire to squeeze
every cent possible from the Chinese
government.
A Peking dispatch received today
says: The signatories of the Chi
nese peace protocol, except the Amer

governments and practically have de-
cided to dentically notify China that
her failure to fulfill obligations provid-
ed for by the protocol win entail grave
consequences.
