TO LEARN CHINA'S VIEWS
Indemnity or 4AO,OUO,000 Taeti to He
Presented as a Preliminary Ilemsnd.
l'KKIX, May 10. An indemnity claim
fif 4oO,INN.I taels will be presented to the
Chinese. Otllcial Chinese throughout the
empire hnve been communicating with
the court and giving advice. Most of
them seem to favor a loan guaranteed by
the foreign powers. Others, prominent
among whom is Chung Chi Tung, favor
raising the money in every posisble way
without a loan, and in paying off the en
tire demand within fire years.
The court has considered methods of
raising 2tl.tKKi,(HI0 taels extra annually
and provisionally approves the plan, but
the Chinese plenipotentiaries have In
structions to nhtniti a reduction of the
indemnity as far a possible.
Whatever the final demands of tin
powers may be, it is not believed that the
opposition will be much more than a
matter or form.
The ministers or the powers met yes
terday and decided that the Chinese
should be given to understand thoroughly
that the amount did not constitute the
claim, but was the total or the expenses,
including private claims considered fair,
and was meant more to obtain an opinion
from otllcial sources as to China's ability
to pay, and also as to what means she
would employ

Montreal For Signers.
MONTREAL, May ll.-Hnrvnrd grad
uates in this city received circulars urg
ing them to sign a protest to the over
seers against granting an honorary de
gree to President McKiuley. The cir
cular giM-s on to state that the large Ixuly
or graduates or the university .lielieve
"thnt the degree should not be conferred
on McKinley at this time, and that, as
the recommendation has been promoted
by the solicitation or others, we also are
clearly entitled to be heard, as protest
ants, by the overseers.
"We, firstly, believe that general prin
ciple that honorary degrees should not
be conferred merely in recognition of
high political position or as prizes of po
litical success.
"It Is worthy of remark thnt Harvard
college has already acted upon this prin
ciple with respect to the governor of
Massachusetts. A former president of
the United States who came to Cam
bridge recognized this principle nnd did
not take the degree offered hi in.
"Knrther. we believe that, ns there ex
ist a sincere division of opinion con
rcmiug the national policy with which
McKinley's name is associated, to con
fer the degree of doctor of laws upon
him would work injustice and give need
less pain to a considerable uumlier of
grnudntes by seeking to commit the uni
versity to a decision upon political pol
icy, which decision is not the runctlon or
such nn Institution."
The fiirm or the protest received is aa
follows:
"To the Board or Overseers, Harvard
College:
"We, the undersigned, graduates of
Harvard university, or holders or a de
gree conferred by It, respectfully request
your honorable body not to confirm the
nomination of William McKinley, pres
ident of the I'nited States, for the hon
ornry degree of doctor of laws.
"Some of us nre, in general, supporters
of lite present national administration,
but we hold that the honorary degree of
LL. D. should not be conferred upon any
one because of his official position."

Donohue or this city has put another
notch in his stick. He severely thrashed
a colored prisoner named McDowell, who
defied tin- court after refusing to pay his

before him he became angrier still. When
McDowell refused to answer questions,
added nbuse to this and then attacked
Constable Newton, Donohue could stand
it no longer.
He threw off his cont and made for
McDowell with one or his famous rushes,
such as hare ended in woe for many wife
