Upon objection of Mr.. Lodge immedi.

When the House met at ii O'Clock
this morning in order to further debate
the Esch Townsend railroad rate bill.
the galleries were comfortably filled,
many persons being present in anticipa-
ton OF the joint session of the House
and Senate at p. m. when the electoral
vote will be polled.
Mr.. Thayer opened the debate on the
railroad rate bill. He said the measure
was democratic proposition aud be
congratulated President Roosevelt; for
his activity in the matter Of increasing
the powers of the interstate commerce
commission.
Mr.. Shober attacked minority leader
Williams and the democrats OF the House
in general for their caucus support Of
the Davey bill, which was inadequate,
he declared. He said that the demo-
cratic minority had lost an opportunity
by not declaring Its support of President
Roosevelrs recommendation in the
matter OF rate reform.
Mr.. Padgett and Mr. Van Duzer sup
ported the general proposition of railroad
rate legislation.
Mr.. Bartlett supporting the Dayey
bill attacked the court feature OF the
Townsend bill, as being unwise and UNI
necessary.
Mr.. Cochran attacking the republicans
and especially Representative Hepburn,
chairman of the committee on interstate
commerce, said that the republicans do
not intend that the measure shall ever
become law.
Mr.. Burke declared his intention of
supporting the bill.
Mr.. Esch said that the legislation ia
badly needed, aud of greatest impor-
lance. To offset the cry of several men,
bers that the railroads will be ruined by
the proposed legislation, he quoted the
reports of the stock markets showing
that railroad stocks had gone up since
the House began consideration of the bill.
Mr.. Grosvenor advocating the passage
of the bill, said that the democrats, now
fighting lhs Townsend bill, would be
voting for it tomorrow afternoon. When
be concluded, the committee arose and
the House prepared to receive the Senate
to go into joint session for the counting
OF the electoral vote.

CHINA'S INDEMNITY CLAIM.

China's reported intention Of asking a large
sum as indemnity for losses sustained by her
through the waging OF the Russo-Japanese War
on her territory may seem from one point of
view reasonable and equitable. There can be
no question of the facts. The land war has
been waged chiefly in China, and Chinese towns
and cities have been destroyed or damaged and
vast injury has been done to agricultural and
other industries 1t is quite conceivable that the
actual pecuniary loss suffered by China in such
fashion has been considerably more than the
S1OOOOOOOO mentioned as her minimum de-
mand.
There are, however. some other points of view
from which the matter must also be regarded,
and from which Japan may not improbably In
sist upon Judging il. One is the fact that China
some years ago, either voluntarily or involun-
tarily. surrendered occupation and military con-
troll of Manchuria to Russia, and thus enabled
Russia TO use that country as a vantage ground
from which TO conduct aggressive campaign
against Japan and to force the latter into war.
Having permitted her territory thus TO be used
TO Japans disadvantage and peril, China would
seem to have no ground for complaint because
Japan invaded it in her own defence When. in
1914. Spain permitted alien power TO use
Florida as a base Of operations against the
United States she had no ground for complaint
because a United States army invaded Florida
to expel that power.
Another point is that as a result of the war
China is-so we assume-going to have Man
churia restored to her. If it had not been for
the war there is no reason TO suppose such
restoration would ever have occurred. That
will far more than repay her for the losses she
has suffered 1t was a choice between losing
the whole of Manchuria permanently, without
compensation, and having it restored to her in
a slightly damaged condition. Surely she should
accept the restoration without hesitation and
with good deal of self-gratulation.
In any case, China's claim for indemnity
would seem to be against Russia, who took
Manchuria from her and provoked the war,
rather than, against Japan, who is going to re-
store Manchuria. But it seems most likely that
she VIII ultimately drop the claim and be CRATE
full for so good a result of so bad bargain.

pupils are being built or projected in this city,
of which seventy-seven. with seats for 81 ,16O
are actually in course of construction at
cost Of $13, ,401. The traveller from New

short time there would be ample school room
for all the children of New-YOrk. OF that
however, we are not so sure The following fig

how many new sittings were then expected to
