OA.3TOrt.IA. Be-ira tho Bail# 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. GOOD ROADS MOVEMENT. Great Interest Aroused Over Coming Meeting at Jackson, Miss. A great deal of interest is being aroused over Mississippi in the good roads movement, and the agitation of the question will result in much good.

Kruger is playing a grand game on third base for St. Louis. Hillebrand, the famous Princeton twirier, may join the New York Club after June 1. The veteran Kittridge is doing all of Boston’s catching at present to steady the team. Heidrick, of St. Louis, is starting out as if he intended to lead the League in batting from the jump. Pittsburg fans now declare that Williams never saw the day when he could play third base like Leach. Mattliewson, of New York, has cer tainly made the finest showing of any pi teller in the country up to date. “Both the foul strike rule and the one keeping tlie catcher close to the plate are good ones,” says Catcher McGuire. Crolius, the college outfielder, is do ing all right for Boston. Captain Long touts him strongly as a comer; also Fred Brown. MeCreery, of Brooklyn, never played better ball than lie is playing just now. He is covering much ground in the outfield, hilling well and is fast on tlie bases. Paddcn is playing a brilliant game as second base for Si. Louis and hit ting in even better form than lie did last season. Some of the greatest pitchers in the business have not as good curves as the less successful men, but they have ivhat others lack, control of the ball. It hardly will be denied that the Nntioual League teams do not on the whole line up as strong as last year. Every team, with the possible exeep tion of Pittsburg, lias lost valuable members. Thomas Esterbrook, (he well-known baseball player, while being taken to the Middletown (N. Y.) State Hospital, committed suicide by throwing him self through a window while the train was tunning fifty miles an hour. WON’T FIGHT THE TRUST. Moline Plow Company Decides to Sell Out to the Combine.

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.

AYER, Lowell, Mass. LABOR WORLD. The miners at Liuton, Ind., have re turned to work. Orange packing in California is done chiefly by women. Machinists throughout the country demand shorter hours. Plasterers at Cleveland, Ohio, have struck for fifty cents a day advance in wages. An advance of ten per cent, has been demanded by 700 brickmakers in St. Louis. Mo. The full wage sc-ale presented by the Great Lakes engineers lias been gen erally granted. The dock laborers at Genoa have in augurated a general strike. They de mand shorter hours. There* were 902 strikes in France in 1900, or 102 more than in 1899. Dur ing 1900 222,714 working people were idle.
