THE CHINESE
INDEMNITY
Minlsun Are Gonsiderlno Pro
posals Submitted bu Finan
cial Experts.
SIR ROBERT HART'S PLAN
Director of the Impel iol Maritime
Customs Suggests Levying of an
Annual House Tax of One-Half n
Month's Rent Some of the Powers
Are Averse to Contiact a Loan for
the Payment of the Indemnity.
By rxclmhe Wile liom Tlie A.-oi i.iled 1'iev.
l'ekln, April .!. The ministers nie
consideilng proposals submitted hy
llnnnclul experts for raising a sum suf
ficient to pay the Chinese Indemnity.
It Is ptobable that some arrangement
will be arrived tit on the basis of tho
plan of Sir Hubert Hart, dlieetor of
the imperial maritime customs, which
provides for tlie handing of the salt
and llkln taxes over tlie maritime cus
toms administration and the levying
of an annual house tax etpial to one
half a month's rent, which, Il Is cal
culated, will provide 20,nn0,d00 taeli
ycaily. suflleient to pay ."i per cent.
Interest ou :,n,000,OO0 taels and clear
off the whole of the principal in less
tliHn forty years. Two hundred and
llfty millions taels Is equivalent, rough
ly estimated to yti.OOO.uOO pounds, but
the total amount of tlie Indemnity is
liktly to be much more than that.
Some of the powers ate nere lo
compelling China to contiact a loan
lor tlie payment ol the it denmlty. It
Is believed that the inere.ised cost of
raising tlie money re-ntiied in that
way is likely to liump-i- the coiumer
ri.il development of China, anil it Is
thuefore belli ved to be desirable to
have the money raised inlei nally In
China.

xvlty Lawyer Patrick, accused wllh

Texan, has all almiR- taken the accusa
tions of Jones UKahist himself -with a.
demeanor almost, uoidciltifr on eon
tempi. aVttorney ."Mooie. for the defense, had
asked that when the hearliiK closed foe
tlio dnv IL be not resumed until Tues
day. Justice Jerome seemed xvlllinK,
and then added:
"It Is necessary that Jones' testimony
as to this murder should be corrobor
ated, tie being a self-confessed accom
plice, bis testimony alone Is not enough
upon which to 'hold Patrick."
Attorney Moore tersely added to this:
"We understand that, and we supposo
the district attorney does, ton."
Tonight thos who are xvatelting the
case closely are xvondcrin-r. -what cor
roborative testimony the state xvill in
troduce to sustain the slab-mcnls of
Jones,
The other incident brought out in the
clearest light tlie Indomllnble netvo 0
Laxx-yer Patrick. In tho face of the re
iterated stoiy of Jones that Patrick had
instigated the rorgcries and the actual
mm dor, the latter too'c his place In tho
court proceedings with the utmost non
chalance. At one point it became nec
essary that a statemenL made by Jones
be road, and It -xvas given Into the
hands of one of the counsel for the de
fense for that purpose. This was the
statement in which the valet claimed
Patrick killed Itlce, and -which he hint
since denied. Tho reader hesitated and
stumbled over the written "words. Sud
denly Patiick spoke up, exclaiming:
"Here, I guess 1 can malse it out; Til
read It."
Patrick Reads Statement.
This xvas agreed to, and In a loud,
clear voice he rati:
" M-' got a toxx'el and sponge and sat
urated the sponge with a eolorles-s
llililid ho had in a bottle. Then ho
xxent Into the room where 'If lay hi

but opened the door and peeped in.
" 'J' xvas standing over 'IV with the
cone-shaped tmvel in Oils hand, and he
pressed it down over 'It's' face."
Patrick was still reading, with no
show- of emotion, xheu Justice Jerome
ordered a. recess for luncheon.
The "P's," and "u's" In the statement
.stand for P.i I rick and Wee.
At another point in the noeeedlngs.
Justice Jerome gave his estimate of:
Jones with characteristic terseness.
Attorney Moore had been racking tho
witness witli (iiiestiiitis, all tending tn
living out the valet's lying propensltleo.
He showed that Jones had lied to anil "
deceived his own father when the lat
ter called on him In the hospital after
