Foreign Ministers IJelieve i me-, iitla
tan Do .No -More.
Pf.kinu, May 1-1.—The Chinese pleni
potentiaries have sent to the ministers
tliexr answer to the demand for 450,000,
000 taels (4sW7,000,000) which was made
on May 8 . The reply is long, and it
may be suid that on lirst reading it
proves more satisfactory to the majority
of ihe ministers than they had expected.
The lirst paragraph states that China
lias not tlie slightest intention of trying
to escape from the payment of her just
obligations; that she is pledged to allies pay
all the legitimate expenses incurred of the
and all damages actually by
foreigners during tue recent trouble,
and will do so.
Resources Diminishing.
The third paragraph sets forth that
the resources of China are diminishing.
The government in recent years was
only able to raise 88 , 000,000 taels ($61,
000,000) a year, of which 24,000,000uuels
($17,000,000) go to pay the war loan and
16,000,000 taels (|ll,(H) 0 , 000 ) more to
other foreign obligations. After dwell
ing at length upon the diminishing rev
enue and the great number of outstand
ing obligations of the country, the plen
ipotentiaries propose to set aside 15,
000,000 taels ($ 10 , 000 , 000 ) annually, to
be paid to the powers in monthly in
stallments uutil the sum agreed upon is
made up.
Neither in the demand nor the reply
is there any mention of interest.
Can Do Jio More.
Those best acquainted with the con
ditions of the Chinese treasury are im
pressed with the fact that the country
can do no more. Li Hung Chang is
very desirous of having the bills of the
powers examined before The Hague
tribunal but has been g’uen to uv 'er
stand that should he make this request
the foreign occupation will ba c.ontinu
ed, at a cost of several million taels pet
day, until the examination is concluded.
Attitude oi' United States.
London, May 14.—The foreign office
has issued a Chinese blue book, bring
ing the record of. the negotiations down
to December. The cable by which Min
ister Conger was instructed to agree
with the conditions imposed on China
forms the basis for almost a score of dis
patches. One of these from Lord Lans
downe to Lord Pauncefote, dated Dec.
18, contains the following: “Mr. Chon to
told me there was doubt as to whether
the president had the right, without an
act of congress, to accept words which
might have the effect ot making it in
cumbent on the United States govern
ment to remain in permanent occupa
tion of Chinese territory. I told Mr.
Choate that in my opiuiou the words
did not go as far as he supposed. ”
REGARDED AS CHIMERICAL
Alleged Commercial League Against
United SRutes.
Berlin, May 14.—Government offi
cials deny that negotiations are going
on between Austria and Germany for a
European commercial leagueagaiust the
United States. The idea is regarded as
impracticable, owing to the diversities
of race and commercial interests.
The representative of the Associated
Press interviewed Andrew D. White,
the United States ambassador, aud
Frank Gleesou. United States consul
here, in regard to the matter. They
both said they had heard of no negotia
tions in connection with the league re
ferred to. They regarded the matter as
chimerical and did not believe there
were any two nations in favor ot such a
league.
Freedom of Press In Ohio.
Columbus, O., May 14.—The supreme
court today handed down a decision in
the application handed by a Cleveland
newspaper for a writ of mandamus
against Judge Boston G. Young to com
pel him to permit the publication of
testimony in the Johnson murder cases
at Upper Sandusky. The motion is de
uied and the order continues in force
luring the trial of the remaining num
ber of the gang who are under indict
ment.

Knoxville, May 14—The Callahan
