T'elcln, SUiy S. The foieign ministers
today decided to addiess a collective
note to tho Chinese government Inform
ing It that :i joint indemnity of 130,

It Is believed that the poweis will as
sent to some such measure In return
for concessions 011 the part of China,
In the shape of a total nbolltlon of the
likln, the placing of Import duties on
a gold basis, leallv fioe navigation ot
Chinese waters, and the removal of im
pediments to navigation and the tac
at Woosung.
The mlnlsteis weie unable lo agiee
a to the elesh.iblltty of opening the
whole emplie to tin " and residence,
some of them holding that It would be
asking China tn assume too gieat 10
.sponsibllltv, and that under the pres
ent system of government it would be
impossible to guaiantee the safety of
the numerous lorelgneis who would
flock into the Intel I01 if the empire

"Washington, Mav S tnfotmation has

The value of the I ic 1 i.ules That
of the e ustoins tael, bv vvhloh the In

GREATEST DAY
f Novel Spectacle ot a Bull
Bear Panic in Proqress
Side bu Side.
NORTHERN PACIFIC RISE
Almost Without a Piecedent in tho
History of tho Stieet Tho Stock
Moved Up from 132 to 180 Othc
Stocks Affected by the Unusiin
Activity of the Northern Pacific.
I!j I ii huh e Wln fiom Hie- orlitfM Pr"ts
New V01 If, Mnv S. Tho stock innikct
today olleied the novel siicctaclo of 11
bear panic and a. bull panic In progiess,
side- by side. The bear panic In North
cm Pacltlc was the impelling cause of!
the elcmoialied iitsh to sell othyt
stoiks, which was held In check for n
Utile aftei the astounding opening in
Noilheiti I'acilic, butAvhlell gained al
most panic toice In tho late trading.
1'ilccs tteie not toppled ovei as 11 dliect
li'sitlt of calling ot loans and forced
liquidation. uich as often culminate .i
jioiiod of ovei spi( illation, but It was
evident that the holdeis of long stock
weie holding their stocks tenaclouslv
and weie waiting to be actually fenced
out. Thi punishment which iv.is being
Inflicted on the shoits In tho Northern
1'acllie was so dlstiessing an oxnniplu
as to keep tlie beats In a timid frame!
of mind and they hesitated to attack
the m.uket. The suppoit which canm
in cm tlie opening dip helped to en
1 outage the bulls and intimidate' the
beais, but the liquidation .seemed so
laige that the beais took courage nud
attacked the maiket after midday and
seemed ileh 1 etui 11s. As the lccesslou
in pi ices leached tho ten point line the
decline- gatbeicd foiee, show lug the
dislodging of long lines of long stock
bv the wiping out of margins. A sciu
tinv ol a stock table will show the.
huge number of stocks -whose declines
extended to between ten and twenty
points, with the tesultlng wiping out
ot tli" oicliiuuv m.ugln.
The chaotic condition Into which the
m.uket was thrown heiame al.iiinlng
in the nitei noon, but the detei mined
suppoit which dev eloped and the 11
sultant rallies, which leached as much
as eight points in one or two Instances,
took away the effect to a paitial .ex
tent ot the disoidcily chop In piices
and even induced cxpiessions tiom
some of the mote confident bulls that
tlie health ot the innikct was g-ieatlv
itnpioved as a lesult of the da.v'.s hiip
enings. The apuently unlimited buv
Ing ordei.s which appealed In United
States Steel pie foiled, tvhen the de
cline had touched 1- points and the ic
siiltlng Lilly of S1.. points, gave some
of the bull .speculalois the couiage to
I I.1I111 that the dav's reaction tvas 1e.1l
lv etigineeieil by the powei fill tln.incinl
intoiosts which have been behind the.
hull maiket tlnoughout, vtith a eleslie
to shake oft weak lolloweis.
