Compromise Between First Demands and Limit Pro- posed by America. SRR SR Specidl Dispatch .to The Call. CALL BUREAU, 1406 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, May 2—Notwith- standing the efforts of the administration it seems that the powers are determined to exact an indemnity from China in ex- cess of that which she can reasonably pay. Following the calls made by Em- bassador Cambon of France, Mr. Rogest- vensky, representing the Russian Embas- sador, and other diplomats upon Acting Secretary Hill to-day it was learned that the authoritles here feel assured that the report that the lump sum of indemnity to be demanded has been fixed at $273,- 000,000 is correct. This represents a com- promise between the exorbitant amounts originally claimed and the limit proposed by the United States. What powers have reduced their claims is not kmown, but as the claims have all been filed the in- demnity will be distributed among the powers - probably according to their amount, the exten: of damage suffered and the number of troops which partici- pated In the operations In CHina: Two questions which are corollary to that of indemnity are under discussion. The first is: What measures shall China take to raise the money necessary to pay the indemnity? Second: As China must have time in which to comply with the indemnity demand how shall she guaran- tee payment? It is erroneous to suppose that the United States is opposing an increase in the customs tax. It approves the idea, but insists that the tax shall be uniform and that it shall not be applied in such manner as to benefit any particular coun- try. Under his instructions Mr. Rockhill is seeking to secure either an abolition or modification of the “likin” tax. No agreement has been reached as to the manner in which China shall make payment. It is conceded that she must have time—some say ten years—and it Is probable that she will float a loan. The authorities fear that Germany will be dis- inclined to withdraw her "troops until every penny of the indemnity has been paid. This question will be a subject of serious discussion by the powers. e e e e ) EANIEERIS INWIKADD LN Members of Japanese Cabinet Tender Their Resigna.tions. YOKOHAMA, May 2.—In consequence of the continued postponement by the Japanese Minister of Finance, Viscount ‘Watanabe, of the carrying out of the ex- pected public works, the Cabinet crisis reached a climax yesterday. Marquis Ito, the Premier, after the Cabinet meeting, proceeded to the palace and tendered his resignation to the Mikado. All the other members of the Cabinet did llkewise, with tne exception of the Minister of War, Baron Kodama. It is asserted that Maryuis Ito advised Em- peror Mutushito_to entrust the task of forming a new Cabinet to Marquis Yam- agata, whose government resigned last October, but it is doubtful whether Mar- quis Yamagata will accept the responsi- bility. The probability is that Marquis | Ito Will reinstate the Cabinet, excluding Viscount Watanabe. RECOMMENDS PARDON OF MILITARY STUDENTS General Vannovski Favors Return of Absentees From the Russian Medical Academy. ST. PETERSBURG, May 2—Tt is re- ported here that the Ministry for War is contemplating reorganizing the military medical academy, where the students are subjected to military discipline and are re- | quired to serve three years as military surgeons after graduation. This academy I is the principal Russian medical college. | General Vannovski, the Minister of Pub- lic Instruction, made a report to the Czar last week recommending the pardoning of the soldier students and other absentees from the universities and permitting them to return in August for the examinations, their military service to continue -until | then. | PRI e RUSSIA NEGOTIATING SEVERAL LARGE LOANS Part of the Money Will Be Supplied by English and American Bankers.

BURGLAR “PAP” JONES AGAIN IN THE TOILS Old-Time Cracksman, Who Has Served Three Terms in San Quentin Penitentiz'iljy, Is Captured by the Chicago Authorities i o “PAP” JONES, ALIAS EDWARD FAGAN, ALIAS JEWETT, ALIAS HAYDEN, UNLUCKY BURGLAR. I o+ N old-time cracksman, who hélds a conspicuous place on the crimi- nal calendar of San Francisco, has just come to grief in Chicago and is almost sure to round off his career in prison with a long-term sen- tence in the Illinois penitentiary at Joliet. Chicago papers mention the arrest by the Hyde Park police of “Pap’ Jones, aged 58 years. Inspector Hunt in speaking of the capture said: “I think I have the captain of a gang of four cracksmen. I am satisfied that Jones was in the gang that robbed the safe of Felichenfeld Bros.’ store, because a paper found on him shows where a division of $600 between four men had been made.” Intelligence of the arrest was conveyed to W. A. Pinkerton in San Francisco, who advised Captain John Seymour, Chief of Detectives, of the capture. At first Cap- tain Seymour did not recognize that the man taken was Edward Fagan. The name - “Pap” Jones was misleading, but mem- ory was refreshed when the given name “Edward” was mentioned. Edward Fagan, alias W. L. Jewett, whose _true name is belleved to be Edward Jores, hails from the State of Connecti- cut. In 1869 he robbed the safe of Neu- berger & Co., brokers, on Montgomery street, San Francisco. He was sentenced to San Quentin for a term of five years. On the expiration of his term of servitude he went to Placer County and was there arrested for burglary. He gave the name of W. L. Jewett. Another term in State's prison was set down to his account. De- siring to investigate other prison resources of the coast he went to Oregon and com- mitted burglary. In this northern enter- prise he assumed the name of James Hay- den. He was sent to the Oregon State Prison in November, 1883. Early in 1838 he was again a free man and his inclination impelled him to return to scenes of burglarious activity in San Francisco. Without wasting much time in"pursuits of idle enjoyment, he resumed the business by opening a safe in_the South Park Brewery. With his usual 1ll- luck he was captured and again assigned | to another term at San Quentin. He was discharged in 1893. There is no indication | that he is sharing largely in the current prosperity, as the “mem.” found in his pocket eredits him with only $200 as his share of ‘the spoils derived from the last burglary in Chicago.

Embassador Choate Is In- structed to Demand an Investigation. b Special Dispatch to The Call CALL BUREAU, 408 G STREET, N. W., WASHINGTON, May 2.—Great Brit- ain will be required to pay indemnity to Amerlean citizens expelled from the Transvaal if it can be established that they took no part in military operations against the British. These claims, includ- ing that of a man named Brown, whose mfl')ing' concéssion and property were taken from him by the Government of the Soulh”Afr{icafil republie, amount to several million dollars. The Instructions sent to Embassador Choate direct him to call the attention of the British Foreign Office to the claims and ask for an investigation. The British Government has declined to discuss what are known as the Atlin claims, on the ground that the persons who filed them are British subjects and their redress is before the British courts. The claimants allege that they are Amer- ican citizens. Their claims, growing out of the seizure of their property and the confiscation of their mines in British Co- lumbia, amount to $15,000,000. The British Government alleges that before the men obtained possession of their claims they took out preliminary papers as British subjects. e men admit that they swors to some papers, the exact character of which they did not grasp.

PAUL, Minn., May 2—The body of the 9-year-old Rosenfield boy was taken from the river near Fort Snelling to-day. This is believed to confirm the police sus- picion that William Rosenfleld drowned his four ‘children and himself one week ago. The crime was most brutal. The father abducted the children, who were in the custody of thefr mother at Minne- apolis,.and securing a rig drove with them to the river. Willlam Rosenfleld, the father, had been separated from his wife, who lives in Minneapolis. Rosenfield lived in St. Paul. One week ago Rosenfield hired a buggy and took his children from relatives who were keeping them. He tried to prevail on his wife to accompany him, but she refused. The next morning the horse was found wandering by the river side. The body found to-day was positively identi- fled. A systematic search will now be made to find the other bodies. g LARGE SMELTING PLANT CLOSES IN MONTANA Management and Employes of Ameri- can Smelting Company Unable to Agree on Wages. HELENA, Mont., May 2.—The manage- ment and the employes of the American Smelting Company’s plant at East Helena being unable to reach an agreement on | the wage question, all departments of the smelter were closed to-night.
