WASHINGTON. May 20.-The Department of State has been Informell, reliably, that the Chinese government has Issued a decree agreeing to pay an indemnity of 470,(jO.OiO taels, equivalent to about $237,000,oo0 at the present rate of exchange. It is known now that tho whole subject of indemnity will be closed up before the end of the present month. If that is not done and evacuation is not under way on a large scale, then the Chinese government must be assessed $1,000, "O each day after June 1 next, to compensate the powers for the maintenance of their military forces in China. L'neler this whip the Chinese government has been forced to yield. It Is not known that the powers have agreed on the form ami extent of guarantee; but now that the amount of indemnity it fixed, not much dilHculty is expected on this point. The United States Kovemment has taken no part In the selection of a held commandant to succeed Field Marshal Count Von Waldersee in the supreme command at Peking. Having dispensed with our military force in China, tho United States is not concerned in the personality of the military chief. Our legation guard will not owe allegiance or obedience to any foreign commander, but will be answerable solely to the I'nlted States minister or charge. In the event of common peril the several legation guards may unite for tho common defense. In which cape they may select their wn leader, as they did during the defense of the legationers last year. wald c it s I : irs n kt i r k m k x t. Withdrawal of the Field Ma ruh a I from China Approved. BERLIN, May 29. The correspondent of the Associated Press learns authoritatively that all the powers have accepted Germany's proposition to withdraw Field .Marshal Count Von Waldersee from China and surrender the chief command. In accepting the proposition the United States expressed satisfaction at tho extremely tactful and skillful manner In which Count Von Walderseo discharged his most difficult dutle? and his great courtesies toward American officers. The other powers, especially ireat Kritalu, have expressed themselves similarly. In German circles the Prltlsh proposition that China pay the indemnity by Issuing bonds, making the Interest and sinking fund payments yearly thereon, is now regarded as certain of being accepted. Perhaps ine acceptance will be unanimous. Germany's contingent remaining in Pe-Chl-Li. it is learned on authority, will be iomewhat over 4,0X). The officials here deprecate the idea that Germany has any private scheme in view In keeping so many men in China. The troops are only staying there as a guaranty of the fulfillment of the peato contlltions. The papers devote much space to reviews of Germany's China expedition, showing widely divergent opinions. While tho lb rllner Tageblatt claims that Count Von Iluelow's original programme has been literally carried out and the Politische Xachtriehten asserts that "our mission in China is completed." the Kreuz Zeltung admits that great di.'Ilcultics remain, mentioning the Manchurian and Korean questions. The Post deprecates the "policy of certain papers In preventing grand plans for Germany originally, and then claiming that these have not been fulfilled. " The Kleines Journal admits that "our national consciousness was so aroused that enthusiasm conceived alms which, afte r the G-r-man fashion, were befogged in boundless romanticisms."

The morning game will be called at 10:'10 and the afternoon content at 4 o'clock. Umpire Hornung will probably officiate in the series with Louisville. Sutthoff or Alloway will pitch this morning and Guese or Stimmet this afternoon. Parker and Weyhing will probably twirl for Louisville. Indianapolis enthusiasts are anxious to see Stimmel pitch again, as he Is the only pitcher in the league who has a clean record up to date. He has won seven games and lost none. The two men most talked about in the cities visited by Indianapolis on the last trip were Rey and Fox, as they won the reputation of being the fastest men in the league. It is worth the price of admission to a game to witness these two runners cover the distance from the batter's box to first base. They have been successful in safe hitting and also in bunting and beating out scratch infield hits through their ability to reach first base so rapidly. Manager Watkins believes that Louisville will be one of the strongest propositions Indianapolis will have te contend with to win the championship this season. When the championship season opened at Louisville Wilmot's men had not practiced in a gam?, arid Indianapolis won three out of four. Louisville then went em a trip and won sixteen games and lost nine, a very good record for the llrst trip for a team that had not rounded into condition when the season first opened. Roth games to-day promise to be very interesting, as the Hoeislers desire to remain at the top and Wilmot's men are now striving to reach the top rung of the ladder. Louisville will also be here to-morrow and Saturday. Indianapolis goes to Columbus on Sunday for four games and will then return home to meet the northern division clubs. AMERICAN LKAGl'K.

WHIPPED BY M'GOVERN AIRELIA HERnCRA KNOCKED OUT IX TIIE FIFTH ROIXD. Work of the Clinmpion Done In III Vannl W iilrlfvlntl Manner llnttliiiK Preliminary Uout. SAN FRANCISCO, May 20. Terry McGovern had an easy victory over Aurella Herrera to-night at Mechanics' ravilion. There was never at any time of the same when McGovern did not have tho ambitious aspirant for championship honors at his mercy, and from a disinterested standpoint It looked very much as If he allowed Herrera to stay four rounds, and then put him out early in the fifth. While McGovern rained blows on his man at all times, it was not until the beginning of the fifth that lie put his strength and weight behind them. The end came quickly after that, as at the first lead of the right and left on tho jaw Herrera went down for the count, lie came up gamely, only to go down again. The last time he was unable to get on his feet at tho end of the count, and was declared out. The preliminary between Danny Dougherty and Kid McFadden was a rattling contest. The men were at it from start to finish, and the decision went to Dougherty on his cleverness. McFadden did most of the leading, but was met at every step with stiff left jabs on the face and hard rights on the body. McFadden fought fiercely in the last round, and sent Dougherty to his knees with a right Jab as tha gong ended the light. The crowd was one of the biggest that ever assembled at the pavilion, and was estimated ut between 7eX and 8,000. Referee Wand gave satisfaction as referee. McGovern and Herrera were scheduled to fight twenty rounds. Dettlng was quite lively at all sorts of prices. On the general result it ranged from to 1 to 4 to 1 on McGovern. Many good bets were made that Herrera would stay six rounds. Covert Iuea a Challenge. Sjeclal to tha Indianapolis Journal. TiSRRLj HAUTE. Ind., May 29. Harry Covert, the middle weight whose fight with Dan Creedon, at the Dallas, was prevented by Governor Sayres. is in the city and has issued a challenge to any middle v eight In Indiana to fight for any number o." rounels at any place where a club can successfully conduct the fight. ATHLETES IN TRAINING HIGH SCHOOL 3IE.Y HAVE A III SV DAY AT MSWIIV OVAL. Kittle ThroTcn from Ilia Wheel and Scratched Road Ilnee To-Day M&lit Races Postponed. Yesterday being the first good day for some time Newby Oval was alive with athletes training for Saturday's field day exercises. The track team from the M. T. H. S. was out In full force and each man was put through a course oC work by Coach Denny. Manager Hall was also present and helped the men in the work. Only about half of the athletes from the North Side school were out, and the only man who showed much energy In the work was Scott, who worked at the hammer throw. Sullivan, from the Veedersburg High School, has been here for a week training at the Oval for Saturelay's contest. He has shown fine form in the bicycle races. Kittle, Coval and Carson, of the M. T. II. S., worked very hard during the workout An unfortunate accident happened while these men were going at a lively clip. Louis Gordon entered the squad and the men were relieving one another In the pacing. In front of the grand stand Gordon, who was next to Kittle, slackened speed and tried to withdraw when Kittle's front tire rubbed his rear wheel. This caused Kittle to be thrown from his saddle, and in lighting he fell on his shoulder, causing several ugly scratches. After the wheel had been adjusted Kittle re-entered the racing. Covington will be the first school to arrive, and will be here to-morrow night. The two local schools comprise forty-one of the contestants, leaving seventy-five visitors. Each school will come well prepared in the way of a rooting delegation. The visitors will be quartered at the Hotel English.
