CHINA FRIEND
OF UNITED STATES
Retiring Ambassador Greatly Pleased
That Indemnity Account Has Been
Revised-MiIIions Saved
His Government
BY Associated Press,

BY Associated Press.
BOSTON, June 1S.-Sir Cheng Liang
Cheng, retiring Chinese ambassador to
the United States, who is in this city
on a visit, today made the following
statement:
'I shall make public today the con-
tents of an off cial note which / re-
ceived from Secretary Root last Satur-
day night, which shows better than
anything else can the remarkably high
sense of justice which the United
States has used in all her dealings
with China. You remember that after
| the Boxer troubles China agreed to
pay an indemnity of $24, ,440,778.S1 on
account of the losses entailed by the
United States government as we'll as
for personal property lost by her
citizens during the Boxer campaign.
| Four years ago your government was
good enough to promise me that when
the time arrived, as token of sincere
friendship for China. the original
| figures of the indemnity would be re-
vsed.
"True to the promise of the executive
officers / received a note from Secre-
tary Root last Saturday night saying
that the president directed him to say
that in his next message to congress
he would be pleased to recommend that
China be relieved of all obligation in
excess of the final revised amount of
the indemnity, which had been set at
$11, ,655, ,492.69 That as you can see will
save China over 100000 and also an
interest of four per cent.
"You cannot emphasize too strongly
my great admiration for the fair
spirit which has always characterized
the dealings Of the United States with
NV co1ntry This final action is an
other monument to Americas high
sense of justice and feel called upon
to say-not because I am the retiring
ambassador-that personally feel that
America is one of Chinas strongest
friends

Big Reduction Made
BY Associated Press.

BY Associated PreSS.
WASHINGTON, June 1S.-The state
department confirms the statement of
the Chinese minister regarding the
resolution of the United States govern
ment regarding the reduction of the
Chinese indemnity. The fact tnat the
indemnity is being collected under a
treaty makes it impossible for the ex-
ecutive to act alone in this matter.
But the president in his annual mes
sage to congress will suggest that the
payment of more than the amount
actually expended be remitted.
China was to pay to the United
States a sum slightly less than $25,0O0,-
900 in annual installments for thirty
nine years with interest So far there
has been collected $4,000, 900 and out of
this has been paid all of the claims of
American missionaries for property de-
stroyed and lives lost in the uprising
amounting to about $2,0O0,000. A care
full estimate has just been completed
of the expense to which the United
States government was put by the
military operations in China, the naval
expense and the losses suffered at
American consulates. These aggregate
$4,000, 900. so that all the indemnity that
should really be charged against China
is Sill 100000 and at the rate the pay
ments have been made recently it is
expected that the total will be- met in
four or five years more. The plan is
to then give China a release in full.

Neiu to Investigate
BY Associated Press.


NEW YORK, June 1S.--Charlesz P.
Neill, United States labor commission
er, is expected to arrive in New York
from Washington to Investigate the
threatened strike of telegraphers
against the Western Union and Postal
Telegraph companies. 1t is stated that
Mr.. Neill will hear both sides of the
controversy and then report to Prest-
dent Roosevelt.
The question at stake is the 10 per
cent increase in wages which the two
companies promised to give on March
1, last.
The two companies declare that they
did give the 10 per cent, while the teleg-
raphers contend that only a few fav-
orites received the increase, while more
than 80 per cent of the men are getting
even less than they We're receiving
March 1.
The officials of the Western Union
company will not tall on the subject
beyond saying that there are no griev-
ances on the part of the employees Of
the compan,'.
1t was said on behalf of the company
that there would be conferences be-
tween the officials of the company and
the parties who have manifested an
interest in the telegraphers' complaint.
This would not apply, however, to any
investigation to be made by Commis-
sioner Neill as a government official.

jail awaiting sentence for the crime Of
extortion, will be retained in that office
by the bribery-graft prosecution until
Schmitz has perfected his appeal from
last weeks conviction. This statement
was made this evening by District At
torney Langdon. He further said:
''The members of the prosecution
have not even discussed with each
other the name of any man to succeed
Gallagher as emergency mayor for the
remainder of this year. We have not
gone that far yet. We are proceeding
carefully and with due regard to the
seriousness of the situation. I am not

shaped up and are now filling in the

object is prompt and effectual relief for

to interfere with the carrying forward
Of that policy.
Do Not Fear Mayor
1--WE do not fear any countermoves by
the mayors counsel. We are fully adj
vised of the law and have entire conf
dence in the legality of the step we
have already caused to be taken-tne
appointment of an acting mayor-and
the legality of the further steps we pro-
pose taking when Mr. Schmitz has per-
fected his appeal"
Mayor Schmitz this afternoon at the
close of a long conference with his at
torneys addressed a letter to the board
of supervisors rebuking that body for
it's action of yesterday. In this letter
he declared himself able and willing to
perform the duties of the mayoralty,
commanded the board to forward to
him all matters requiring review by
the mayor, and warned the board that
any recognition of Gallagher as acting
mayor will result in trouble for the city.
Supervisor Gallagher made no at
tempt today to take possession of the
mayors office at Post and Franklin
streets. He did not visit the place at
all. A police sergeant was ION the
door, all day and his Instructions were
to see that no one encroached upon the

should Gallagher attempt to establish
himself in Schmitz' office he would use

Steamer Badly Damaged
BY Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO, June 1S.-During
dense fog on the bay this evening
the ferry steamers James M. Donahue
and Cazadero of the Sausalito line col
lided, but fortunately no lives were lost.
The James M. Donahue was damaged
considerably and after her passengers
were transferred to the Cazadero she
was towed to this side of the bay.
While the boats were in collision there
was great excitement aboard, but the
officers and crews, assisted by some
passengers, soon quieted the fears of
the more timid.-
The James M. Donahue left Sausalito
at 7:1O o'clock ON her regular trip to
this city, and the Cazadero was en-
route to Sausalito, having left short
time earlier with Marin county COM
muters and other passengers from this
city. A heavy fog hung over the bay
and a strong flood tide prevailed. The
captains of both steamers proceeded
cautiously, but when the Cazadero
reached position between anger dnu
Alcatraz islands the Donahue doomed
up only a few lengths away. Each
captain was prompt to act and engines
were quickly reversed, while the whis
ties were sounded.
| Paddlebox Torn Away
| The Cazadero was practically at g
standstill in a few moments, but the
strong tide caused the Donahue tc
crash into her, with the result that the
paddlebox of the Donahue was torn
away
There were about $50 passengers on
the Cazadero and in the neighborhood
of 100 on the other steamer, many be-
ing women and children. When the
crash came some of the passengers
We're panic stricken, but they were soon
assured of safety.
While the steamers remained locked
the people on the Donahue were quick
ly transferred to the Cazadero and con-
veyed back to Sausalito. Loter those
who desired to resume the trip were
brought to this city.
The James M. Donahue was hurried
to this side She is one Of the Oldest
ferry steamers operating on the bay.
Both steamers are operated by the
Northwestern Pacific Railroad COM
pany.
