CHINESE INDEMNITY.
European Powers Want Payment of
 Indemnity in Gold.

London. Jan. r.. The negotiations between the powers regarding the method of paying the Chinese indem- nity are proceeding.
 Washington's acceptance of the Chi nese proposal to pay in silver does not meet with the cordial approval of Europe.
 A foreign office official said today to representative of the Associated Press:
 America and England have both been peculiarly generous to China, but this last step meets with consid- erable opposition in various quarters. We are willing to do everything in our power but the situation is very complicated. The Chinese say that if they have to pay it in gold, it will mean their country's ruin. On the other hand if the payment is made in silver at the present value of the tael. the indemnity which was made as low as it consistently could be made will be enormously reduced. Possibly we may be able to reach some conclusion which will be enormously reduced. Possibly we may be able to reach some conclusion which will be satis- factory not only to the United States, but to the other powers who do not feel so generously inclined ''

ADJUSTMENTS.
At the BlIou.

An excellent production of "A Turkish Texan" was given at the Bijou last night with George Parsons in the title role He is very clever young comedian, having branched out of the ordinary to cause his fun and produce laughter, and has proven very successful.
 His Interpretation of the role is some thing entirely new. and the applause and the laughter he caused was evidence enough that his work was greatly en- joyed by the large crowd present.
 The play itself is very strong, and its lines and situations are of such a nature that they are funny whether the actors play them or not. Besides MT. Parsons there are four strong people In the cast. Miss Urquhart has little to do except ear the stunning gowns for which she Is noted, but what she does she does well.
 II. G. Hockey is funny 4o look at and has some funny work to do, which he does. He is rather small and has a oomical expression and manner which are amusing
 Adolph Jackson Is the heavy of the play. He is the Turkish policeman look ing for revenge and his looks are reveng- full. They are such that man would hate to meet them alone on dark night. He worked well and earnestly.
 Dan Stuart, Margot Hobart and Bes- sic Price had some good parts which they handled fairly well. The other members of the company are fair, but the play carries them along with it and it is funny from beginning to end.
