CHINA MAKES REPLY
Bankrupt Empire Asks For Time
In Making Financial Amends.
PLEA IS FOR THIRTY YEARS
Promises to Pay Ten Millions Annual
ly In Monthly Installments.
Pleads Poverty as Ex
cuse for Delay.
The answer of China to the state
meut of the ministers of the foreign
powers as to the losses sustained by
nations and individuals in China was
: received in Pekin Tuesday. The an
! swer commences with an appeal to
mercy, saying that the country is im
poverished.
The first paragraph states that Chi
na has not the slightest intention of
trying to escape from the payment of
her just obligations; that she is pledg
ed to pay all the legitimate expenses
of the allies and all damages actually
incurred by foreigners during the re
cent trouble and will do so.
The third paragraph sets forth that
the resources of China are diminish
ing. The government in recent years
was only able to raise 88,000,000 taels
($61,000,000) a year, of which 24,000,-
000 taels ($17,000,000) go to pay the
war loan and 16,000,000 taels ($11,000,-
000) more to other foreign obligations.
After dwelling at length upon the di
minishing revenue and the great num
ber of outstanding obligations of the
country the plenipotentiaries propose
to set aside 15,000,000 taels ($10,000,-
000) annually, to he paid to the pow
ers in monthly installments until the
sum agreed upon is made up.
This amount will be derived as fol
lows: “From salt, 10,000,000 taels;
from the likin tax, 2,000,000 and from
native customs, 3,000.000.”
The communication further asserts
that were this done it would leave the
country unable to meet the expenses
of government without assistance. It
requested that the foreign customs be
given to China for the purpose of gov
ernment. The ministers refuse to dis
cuss the answer until it has been con
sidered by them in meeting.
A cablegram from Mr. Rockhill, spe
cial United States commissioner at
Pekin received at Washington Tues
day mentions the receipt by the min
isters of the response of the Chinese
envoys to the ministers’ demands for
indemnity. The dispatch indicates
brieily that the Chinese represent that
an annual payment of $10,000,000 is
the full extent of their power to pay
on indemnity account. It will take
thirty years to discharge the debt at
that rate without interest.
Mr. Rockhil makes no mention of
the subject of interest, nor does he
touch upon the means by which the
money is to be raised by China, or say
who is to guarantee a loan necessary
to be made. It appears that the Chi
nese feel obliged to submit to the
powers in this question of indemnity,
as in all other thiugs. and though real
izing their inability to assume this in
debtedness of 450,000,000 taels they
feel obliged to make the effort. Mr.
Rockhill has been instructed to con
tinue his efforts to secure an abate
ment of the total indemnity, but. in
the present disposition of the powers
little hope of success is entertained.
Plan Satisfies Germany.
The news that China agrees to the
payment of the indemnities demanded
is received in Berlin with general ap
proval in official circles and privately,
insomuch that all Germany desires is
to wind up the China campaign.
It is understood that the proposal to
extend the payments over a period of
thirty years meets with a qualified as
sent.
Many Boer Homes Burned.
A parliamentary paper has just
been issued at Loudon showing that
634 farm buildings, mills, cottages and
hovels were burned in the Orange Riv
er coloney and Transvaal from June,
1900, to the end of January, 1901.
Anti-Lynch Act Sustained.
What is known as the auti-lynching
act was sustained by the supreme
court of Ohio in a decision handed
down Tuesday.
FARMER DRIVEN FROM HOME.
Irate Neighbors Force Peterman to
Seek Refuge in Charleston,
M. Peterman, a farmer living near
Monek’s Corner, S. C., who claims to
have been driven away from home by
whlteeaps, has moved to Charleston.
He has written to Governor McSwee
aey that the man left to attend to his
property has also been warned to
leave. It seems that Peterman had
trouble w-ith his neighbors, the Thorn
leys. and an injunction was issued by
Judge Aldrich requiring the neighbors
to stop trespassing on his property.
This brought on the first actual clash
cf arms.

STRIKERS PRECIPITATE RIOTS.
Soldiers Orderec to Albany, N. Y., to
Repress Violence in Street
Railway Trouble.
At Albany, N. Y., Tuesday, riot fol
lowed the attempt of the Union Trac
tion Company to resume the operation
jf its electric street railway system
it that city, which had been tied op by
the strike of the employees inaugu
rated last week.
The company had secured 200 men
to take the place of strikers, and Mon
day night housed the newcomers in
the Quail street barns, where they
were guarded by police and deputy
sheriffs.
Outside the barns a large number of
strikers and their sympathizers as
sembled during the night, the crowd
growing until it numbered 2,000 or
more by the time the company was
ready to send out its first car.
Two policemen were on the platform
with the mortorman and two guarded
cue rear platform.
The crowd greeted the appearance
of the car with derisive and insulting
cries and obstructed its passage, but
a squad of police cleared the way and
u passed on and from the vicinity o-f
the barn.
-ia.i an hour later a second car
emerged from the barn.
The crowd immediately made a dash
for it, some of them hurling missiles
at the motorman. The police could
not withstand the rush of the mob and
some of the rioters were soon upon
upon the platform.
'the motorman was struck several
times on the head until bleeding and
senseless he relinquished his grasp
of the handles. On the rear platform
two men pulled the trolley pole down
and bent it until it broke. The car
had obtained some momentum and
striking the switch went off into the
gutter. Once the mob had accom
plished their purpose they withdrew
with cheers. The police arrested four
or five of the rioters.
One of the trolley wires fell to the
street, a few minutes after having
been cut, putting one line out of com
mission. The car which had previous
ly left the barn made several trips up
and down town, not carrying any pas
sengers.
A thousand national guardsmen and
a hundred mounted men occupy Al
bany streets.
The Twenty-third regiment, of
Brooklyn, the Tenth battalion, of Al
bany, and the Third signal corps are
on hand and will be reinforced by 200
special deputies, 300 policemen and
over a hundred Pinkerton detectives.
