Reasons for Paying the “’hole 1,000,000,- 000 Tavls Over to Japan in u Lunlp. As May 8 was the day 011 which the third portion of the Chinese war in- demnity to Japan fins to be paid, there is much curiosity to know what China. will do to discharge the remainder of her big war debt. The treaty provided for the payment of the remaining 100,- 000.000 fuels in six equal portions, the last to be paid on May 8, 1902. On May 8 of each year China must pay 171/2 million taels. while on November 8 of each year, except the last, she must pay the interest, which this year will amount to 4 1-6 million taels. It is understood that Sir Robert Hart, who for more than thirty years has been at the head of the Chinese customs service, has recommended that the whole indemnity be paid at once. This would save 15,000,000 taels in interest, and China would be credit- ed with 6,250,000 taels of interest al- ready paid, thus making the net pay- ment to Japan to clear up the whole war account only 93,750,000 taels.’ Of course this large sum would have to be borrowed in Europe, probably of England, but as interest must be paid on smaller loans to meet the payments under the treaty, there is no economy in the gradual method of extinguish- Payment in one lump sum would give an enormous gain to China, so far as her prestige is ,con- cerned. It would enable her to get rid of the Japanese garrison which is sta- tioned in lVei-hai-wei and is a thorn in the flesh of every Chinese official. The evacuation of this place by the Japs would enable China. to repair and make formidable once more this great stronghold, - which in proper hands would serve as a check to any force advancing upon Pekin. This payment would also save China 2,500,000 taels, which she must pay while Wei- hai wei is occupied by the Japs. Japan is in a bad way financially, and the payment of the full indemnity would relieve her of the necessity of raising a loan this year. As things stand now, Japan will have at the end of‘this year only 51,000,000 yen in the treasury, but with this big indemnity paid in a lump she would have 94,000,- 000 yen in the treasury without raising the loan of 67,000,000 yen which has caused discussion in the Diet. Japan is suffering from the reaction of the war boom. Hundreds of companies have been formed and the stock ped- dled out among small investors. Most of these Schemes are swindles, and the drawing off of the large amount of money involved has caused financial trouble—New York Sun. Those Darned Pickles. When Governor'Sam Houston first visited Washington he dined in a starched collar with the President of :he United States and the leading poli- iicians. At the~ dinner he tasted cham- pagne for the first time in his life. ‘Forty-rod” whisky was good enough for politicians Where he came from. But he enjoyed himself, and drank his share of the wine. Toward the end of the dinner olives were handed round. Houston had never seen olives, but tried one and put it back upon his plate. The President looked down the table. “How are you getting on, Gov- ernor Houston?” he asked. “W31, President,” said Sam, “I like your ci- ler, but darn your p: cklesl”—Thc Wave.
