THE CHINESE INDEMNITY
INJUSTICE OF INCREASING AMOUNT
THROUGH DEMAND FOR GOLD.
Statement from an Imperial Official
Reviewing Action Taken by Chi
M and the Powers.

Correspondence Of the Indianapolis Journal.
SHANGHAI, March H.-In the relations
of the powers with China the subject up
permost for some time will be that of pay
ments on account of the indemnity of 450,-
100000 taels imposed by the peace protocol
which followed the suppression Of the Box
er outbreak. While the tael is the monetary
unit Of value in China, 1t has never had
behind 1t anything more substantial than
silver bullion. Prices of that commodity
having declined more than 30 per cent
since the protocol was signed, indemnity
payments in gold, as figured out at the time
of the protocol. would carry obligations
approaching 60O.0o0.0O0 taels in place of 49,
0O0.0O China proposed 10 stand by the
original figures. expressed in the protocol
as follows: Tael, equivalent to marks 1865;
kroners. 1856; gold dollar. .742; francs, 3.750;
sterling. IS; yen, 1892; gulden, 1.7s6; rouble
14l2
The United States has consented to ac-
cept settlement on a tael basis of ZAP, al
though tael quotations are now .525. All
other powers, so far, have insisted on re-
ceiving In gold the equivalent reckoned in
protocol calculations. To this demand Chi
ma pleads that 1t can see no way to collect
a larger number of taels than was specified
in the protocol. 1t has not limited at re-
pudiation, but 1t has invited those who in
sist upon a gold basis settlement to suggest
means by which this may be brought
about. There has been no helpful response
to that invitation.
The conservatism that characterizes Chi
ma makes conditions less tractable here
than in gold-basis lands. 1t is as difficult
for the masses to earn taels as it was be-
fore the market forced silver down. Gus
toms contributions toward the indemnity,
although 5 per cent. schedule has been
made effective, afford no substantial help
in that direction, in view of the insistence
Of the powers that customs remain leviab BILE
only in silver. Chinese finances, moreover.
are obviously so bad that the taunt of Off
cial corruption loses point. Admitting that
the collectors usually count on enriching
their purses whenever they gather money
for the government, the widespread hard
ship of these days renders manifestly
most arduous the task of collecting the
lightest installments. Under the best guild
ance China may not, for many years, out
grow the chronic and traditional disposition
heavily. If in confessing itself helpless
China can get no sympathy or assistance
toward satisfying indemnity claims. it is
difficult to see how foreign trade and de-
velopment of natural resources with for
eign capital, the avowed detectives of rela-
tons with China can be fostered. Suspicion
and distrust of foreigners must clearly be
overcome as conditions precedent 10 COM

JUDGE SAYS NOT GUILTY
Qusrtetto Of Tourists Over Jim Hilr s
Line Accused Of Stealing
Free Rides,

The case of State of Minnesota vs..
Chas. Thomm, Oscar Bergman, Leu
Morley and Harry Webster was tried
In justice court before Judge Otter
ness yesterday afternoon at O'Clock.
The Great Northern was the CON-
planning witness and the charge pre-
ferred was that the persons mentioned
above had tried to steal free rides on
the Great Northern railway system,
and we're also lounging around on
their premises. After having heard
all the evidence in the case Judge
Otte rness declared each and all of the
defendants not guilty of the charge
and thew were released from custody.
The >quartette was detained here
yesterday morning by Sheriff Lund-
quist under orders from Detective Joe
Jabush, who represented the Great
Northern and was instrumental in
causing their arrest. It was claimed
that they had boarded freight from
the East and had effected an entrance
into one of the cars by breaking open
the seal, but this was strictly denied
by the prisoners. There not being
sufficient grounds on which to estab-
lish this charge, the above charge was
preferred.
detective Jabush is the same Great
Northern detective who caused the ap.
preheusion and arrest of Doyle, few
years ago. It will be remembered
that he was sent up for robbery and
given term of five years at Still
water,

OF losing a horse last Tuesday. The
horse was at the time In Lawrence
Thorpe's pasture and in some way or
other had fallen into an old we'll from
which he was unable to extricate
himself. Finding it impossible to get
him out it was finally decided to shoot
him and so put an end to his troubles.
The horse belonged to Mr.. Markhus
