ONES HS DER OF INDEMNITY
SECRETARY HAY'S VIEW.
Thinks China Should Pay About Two Hundred
Million Dollars—Oniy on This Ques-
tion is Friction Expected.
Two hundred million dollars is the
least China can expect to be called upon
to pay for her reign of terror. That
is the sum arrived at by Secretary Hay,
who has been figuring on the cost of
military operations by _the Pewers while
waiting for answers to his suggestions
that the terms in the protocol about to
be signed be so modified as to make
them possible of execution.
It is considered more likely, how-
ever, that the sum demanded will be
about $300,000,000, because it is evident
that several of the European Powers are
preparing to place fancy prices on the
cost of their expeditions to the Celestial
Kingdom. Germany's idea some time
ago, before she raised the pay of her
officers, was $50,000,000. Ii every Power
should charge in that proportion Rus-
sia, Great Britain and Japan alone
would charge more than $200,000.02,
without any payment for property and
lives destroyed. Secretary Hay believes
e has convinced the foreign offices that
there can be no settlement unless the
spirit of fairness and moderation dic-
tates such terms as China can meet,
hence his belief that there will be bat
little trouble in agreeing upon the
treaty.
INSURGENTS RETREATING.

and Take Prisoners.
Telegrams irom Manila, dated Sunday
say: While the captures of supplies and
the occupation of new points are quite
numerous those involving actual fi

the insurgents are falling back at all
contested points, sacrificing their pos
sessions in most cases and satisfied tc

Horrible Treatment of a Colored Boy by
Drunken Miners.
At Currysville, Ind. a
a tramp colored boy was the
savage torture at the hands of a party
of drunken miners Saturday night. He
was given several mock trials, prior to
which he was branded with a red hot

of his body. He was sentenced to be
burned in a red hot stove and in his
struggles burned his hands almost to a

the coal shaft; another that he be hang-

Crisis in Germany.
The winter session of the German
Reichstag, recently inaugurated, marks
the beginning of what perhaps will be
the most important legislative campaign
since the beginning of the empire, ac-
cording to Consul General Mason. at
Berlin, in a report to the state dep
ment at Washington. Besides the dis-
cussion of Germany’ icy in respect
to China, he says, is expected
that there will be introduced during the
year not only a new schedule of import
duties, but the issue as to whether the
several commercial treaties with other
nations which expire by limitation in
103, shall be re-enacted, with modifi-
cations, or abandoned with the demand
of the extreme protectionists, or A
rian party.
Postal Work of the Year.
The report of Postmaster General
Smith for the fiscal year ended June 30
last, shows that the total receipts of the
department were $102,354.570 and ex-
penditures $107,740,267. He estimates
the revenue for the current fiscal year
at $110,021,172 and for the year ending
June 30, 1902, "at $116,633.042, and the
deficiency on the latter date at $4,634.-
307. The deficiency for last year was
less than for any vear since 1893.
N STANDARD OiL.
The, .$100,000,000 Capital is Now Valued
~ at Eight Times as Much.
Concerning the advance in the price
of Standard Oil certificates, it is noticed
that the company’s capital of $100,000,-
000 now has a market value of over
,000,000. The rise this year has
been phenomenal. Last January it sold
at 475. By the middle of October it had
reached the $600,000,000 mark. A gain
of over $200 a share has been made
since then, with the last 100 points ad-
vance occupying less than a fortnight.
When it is considered that John D.
Rockefeller owns 43 per cent. of the
total capital of the company, the amount
of the increase of his fortune within a
year is tremendous. In the company
his investments are worth at least $350,-
000,000. The company has paid about
$45,000,000 in dividends the past year.
Apportionment of Representatives.
The first bill of the session introduc-

Famous Guerrilla Insane.
William Halley, for many years dur-
ing the civil war the chief licutenant of
Quantrel, the guerrilla, has been sen:
to the insane asylum at St. Joseph,
Mo. He is a physical wreck and it is
probable he can survive but a short
time.
Halley was born and reared at Inde-
pendence, Mo., where his father, at the
breaking out of the war, was a wealthy
resident. He was hanged for disloyal
acts, after his son had engaged with
Quantrel in some of his bloodiest deeds,
including the sacking of Lawrence, Kas,

Taotai Ordered ihe Death of Twelve Europeans
at Kwei Hua Cheng—An Uprising
Threatened at Pekin.
Telegrams from Peking, dated Sat
day, say: Captains Wingale and Ryder,
who accompanied the expedition to Kal-
gan, returned to-day. During their ab-
sence they visited several places to
which the Germans did not go, but they
encountered no opposition. They learn-
ed that some twelve Europeans, mostly
Swedish and Norwegian missionaries,
besides Captain Watts Jones, were mas-
sacred at Kwei Hut Cheng by orders of
the taotai, and that 100 native Christians
had also been put to death. The de-
tails of the outrages are most revolting.
Captains Wingale and Ryder visited the
Belgian station, where the priests m
charge and 3,000 converts had sustained
a prolonged siege by Boxers and im-
perial troops. They were informed
that other stations further west are still
besciged, not only by the Boxers, but
by Chinese troops acting under orders
from the authorities, and this in spite
of the assurances by the plenipoten-
tiaries that the government is doing its
utniost to supnress outrages.

THE INTERIOR REPORT.
The Indian Service Has Cost Over $368,-
000.000 in 110 Years.
The report of Secretary of the In-
terior Hitchcock says that the expendi-
tures on account of the Indians during
the fiscal year ended June 30, 1900,
were $10,175.106 and the total expended
by the government on the Indian ser-
vice from March 1780, was $368.358,
217. The number of Indians receiving
rations is 45,270. During the year 13,-
453.887 acres of public lands were sold,
for which the government was paid $4,-
030,812.
There were on June 30, 38 forest reser-
vations, embracing 46.772,129 acres.
The total of pensioners on that date

compared with the previous year. The
annual value of the pension roll was
$131,534.544. a decrease of $83.417 from
the preceding year. Mr. Hitchcock
recommends legislation that would en-
able disputed pension cases to be ad-
judicated in the courts. There has been
disbursed for pensions and the expenses
of the pension laws from 1866 to 1900
the sum of $2.612,327,648.

The Cape Dutch Alarmed.
A dispatch from Cape Town says that
the Dutch of Cape Colony are greatly
disturbed over the announcement that
they are liable to conscription for ser-
vice against the Boers. It is not believ-
ed that the British Government will
take such a step as there is no need of
any extraordinary levy to deal with the
remnant of the Boers in arms.
There will be no need for a large local
force to garrison the country after the
Boers will have been thoroughly sub-
dued, but those of Dutch origin wil
not be called in for this purpose,
nearly all of them are believed to be dis-
loyal to British rule.

Telegrams from Paris say Gen. Mer-

which England could be invaded. He

SERMON STARTS TROUBLE.
Rev. John W. Wohl Killed by Hon. S. Davis
Stokes at Williamson—Stokes Was
Mortally Wounded.
from wounds inflicted by
his antagonist, Attorney S. Davis Stokes,
of Williamson, W. Va., Wednesday af-
ternoon shgt and instantly killed Rev.
John W. Wohl, after the most sensa-
tional duel this end of the State has ever
seen. Stokes himseli is dangerously
wounded and may yet die. 2
Stokes is one of the most prominent
lawyers of Mingo county; he is referee
in bankruptcy, and in the last cam-
paign was a candidate for State Senate
in the Fiith district. Wohl was a high-
ly respected clergyman of the Presby-
terian church south, while both moved
in the highest circles of society.
Back of the quarrel which brought
about the latter's death, is a sermon
which Rev. Mr. Wohl preached more
than a month ago. in which he took
occasion to score unmercifully the pas-
times of the social set in which the at-
torney moved. High words came at a
meeting between the two men Wednes-
day afternoon, and before bystanders
could realize what was coming the in-
terchange of shots had begun, Stokes
falling first, and from his side firing the
ball that pierced the minister's brain.

AN AGREEMENT AT PEKIN.
The Views of the United States Have Pre-
vailed in the Issues.
The State department has been in-
formed that the foreign ministers at
Pekin have reached an agreement which
was submitted to the home offices, Sec-
retary Hay cabled Mr. Conger authoriz-
ation to sign the agreement on behalf
of the United States.
In the issues relating to punishment
and indemnity the views of the United
States have prevailed. Punishments are
to be the severest that can be inflicted
by the Chinese government. As to in-
demnity, the Chinese government is to
formally admit its lability and the ma
ter is to be leit for future negotiation.
It was understood that on the other
points the French proposition has form-

severity in the suppression of the Box-
ers and energetically protecting the
missionaries.
The telegram conveys the thanks of
Emperor Kwang Hsu and the empress
dowager for the moderation of the de-
mands of the powers and says that their
majesties are anxious to return to Pekin
as soon as circumstances will permit, and
are eager to arrive at an understanding
with the powers.
Persia to Adopt Russian Policy.
A Russian correspondent at Theran
says that it is believed there that the
Shah’s journey in Europe and especially
his splendid reception at St. Petersburg,
have produced a strong impression up-
on him and paved the way for the Rus-
sofication of Persia. A new loan of
£1.000,000 has been effected for forti-
ficating the harbors in the Persian gulf,
purchasing arms and reorganizing the
army under Rt S n instructions.
Now that Russia's influence in that
country has been thoroughly establish-
ed, she wishes Persia to be strong
enough to resist any attack on the part
of England, from the sides of India, in
the event of a conflict between Russia
and English interests on the shores of
the Persian gulf.

Telegrams irom Panther, W. Va., say:
Dr. Thompson, of Williamsport, Pa.,
and Adam Bailey, of this place, were
shot and instantly killed by James H.
Chambers, a prominent local merchant,
Wednesday night.
_ Dr. Thompson came here from Will-

took a position as surgeon ior the Pan-
ther Lumber Company, which is one of
the largest concerns of its kind in the
State. Recently he decided to leave
town, and return to Williamsport. His
airs were settled and his family leit

behind to dispose of some of his office
furniture. He sold a portion of his

When settling the deal the men came
to blows. Then Chambers ordered the
doctor to leave his store. The latter did
so, but returned soon afterwards, carry-
ing a revolver in his hand. He told
Chambers that one of the two must die,
and that right speedily. Thompson nn
sooner entered than Chambers, without
rising from _ his chair. fired. His aim
was good. The doctor fell, shot through
the breast.
Adam Bailey, a former business part-
ner of Chambers, was coming up the
street, heard the shots and saw the doc-
tor fall. He was an intimate friend of
the Pennsylvanian. Rushing into the
store, boiling with rage, Bailey pulled
his revolver. He leaped over the
corpse of Dr. Thompson to get into the
store.
“That was a cowardly murder,” cried
Bailey to Chambers, “and vou will have
ill me or T will kill you.
o sooner were the words uttered by
Bailey than Chambers raised his weapon
and fired. The contents entered Bailey's
breast, passing through his body and
making a hole large enough to drop an
egg through. He fell in the store, hut
Chambers dragged the body outside and
laid it beside that of Dr. Thompson,
where he left them.
Both corpses lay in the street until
aiter midnight, when the coroner's in-
quest was held. At his preliminary
hearing Chambers was exonerated. He
is a brother of Judge Chambers, of this
judicial district. and is one of the best
known men of this county.

AN OLD MINE CAVES iN. |
Brave Foreman Saves Many Lives—The!
Men Were Imprisoned One Thousand i
Feet From Mine Entrance.
Thirty-two men employed at the Nay
Aug colliery, in Dunmore, Pa., were
entombed by a cave-in Wednesday
morning, but thanks to a simple fortu-
nate circumstance a repetition of the
terrible Turn shaft disaster was averted.
The men were at work about a thou-
sand feet from the bottom of the slope
and 400 feet below the surface when two
acres of the roof between them and the
slope went down with a terrible crash,
crushing the pillars beneath it and caus-
ing a rush of air that hurled the roof
from off the fanhouse and almost blew
the men {rom their feet.
Their lamps were extinguished, but
finding that the air was still pure, they
lighted them and began to cast about
for a way of escaping.
Foreman John Gibbons, who chanced
to be with the men at the time, bade
them keep cool and quiet. and he wouid
try to find a way out. After a difficult
and dangerous journey they reached
the point where the fall blocked their
way. This was attacked with bars,
picks and shovels, and after an hour's
work a passage was cleared to the air-
way, which, as they had counted upon,
was open. As fast as they could run
they made their way to the second
opening, and thence to the surface,
where they were greeted with wild hur-
rahs from the thousands who had gath-
ered expecting to see them brought out
crushed and mangled corpses, if they
wele brought out at all.

ing that was opened 30 years ago. It is
nearly worked out and comparatively
few men were employed in it in it.

{Copyright 1490. 1
WASHINGTON, DD. C.—From an unnoticed
incident of olden time Dr. Talmage in this
discourse draws some comforting and rap-
turous le The text is 1I Samuel xix,
18, “And oe went over a ferryboat to
carry over the king's household.
Which of the crowd is the king? That
short jan, sunburnt and in fatigue dress
1t is d, the exiled king. He has de
Liki pio enemies and is now going home
to resume his ce. Good' I always
like to see Davia come out ahead. But be-
tween him and his Lome there is the cele-
brord River Jordan, which has to be
ed. The king is accompanied to the
i of the river by an aristocratic old
gentleman of eig hty vears, Barzillai by
name, who ow ned a fine country seat at
Rogelim. Besides that, David has his fam-
with him. But how shall they get
across the river? While they are stand-
ing there 1 see a ferryboat coming from
the other side, and as it cats through the
water I see the faces of David and his
household brighten up at the thought of
so soon getting home. No sooner had the
fy struck the shore than David and
his family and his old friend Barzillai,-
from Rogelim, get on board the boat.
Sither with splashing cars at the side or
with one oar sculling at the stern of the
boat they leave the eastern bank of the
Jordan and start for the western bank.
That western bank is black with crowds
of people, who are waving and shouting at
the approach of the king and his family.
The military are all out. Some of those
who have been David’s worst enemies now
shout until they are hoarre at his return.
No sooner had the boat struck the shore
on the western side than the earth quakes
and the heavens ring with cheers of wel-
come and congratulation. David and his
family and Barzillai from Rogelim step
ashore. King David asks his o 1d friend
to go with him and live at the palace, but
Ba ai apologizes and intimates that he
ge and too deaf to appre-
ciate the music, and has a delicate appe-
tite that would soon be cloyed with luxu-
rious living, and so he begs that David
would let him go back to his country seat.
once heard the father of a President
of the United States say that he had just
been to Washington to see his son in the
White House, and he told me of the won-
derful things that occurred there, and of
what Daniel Webster said to him, but he
declared: “I was glad to get home. There
was too much going on there for me.” My
father, an aged man, made his last visit
at my house in Philadelphia, and after the
shurch service was over and we went
home some one in the house asked the
By man how he enjoyed the service.
‘Well, T enjoyed the service, but there
were too many people there for me. It
troubled my head very much.” The fact
is that old people do not like excit ment.
1f King David had asked Barzillai thirty
years before to go to the palace, the prob-
ability is that Barzillai would have gone,
but not now. They kiss cach other good-
bye, a custom among men Oriental, but
in vogue yet where two brothers part or
an aged father and a son go away from
each other never to meet again. No won-
der that their lips met as King David and
old Barzillai, at the prow of the ferryboat,
parted forever.
