Chance for Trouble Over thi Indemnity Question CHINA MAY NOT PAY Not So Easy to Produce as Could Be Desired Indica tions of Early Return of the Imperial Court ... Pekin, July 30. Although it ha beet stated that the matter of the Chines indemnity to be paid to -the powers fat the damages sustained during the Bosei rebellion has been settled to the sat isfaction Of all concerned, . there is n feeling here that complications are like ly to arise at any time which will: revive the whole dispute and cause a :reat deal of 'trouble. ' "It may easily be seen that a disntita would result if, for any feason, th Chinese government snould fail to maka the installment payments as , agreed Sir Robert Ifart, the imperial commis sioner of maritime customs, made a sig nificant remark today. In discussing the indemnity, one of,the foreign min isters inquired of Sir Robert if there was any possibility of China paying a semi-annual installment on the 450.000, 000 taeU4 next January. In the opinion of the imperial commissioner it will be impossible to. make the necessary changes . and secure revenue to- cove the fiFst payment in less than a Der iod of three years. It is said here on the Irest of author ity that the. powers will strenuously oppose any such delay , in making the initial indemnity payment. There are indications of the early return of the Chinese court to Pekin. Rice tributes -have commenced, to -rcjvh the city. They are coming by steam- , boats and the railway, in:tead of the canal. The first lot arrived today. Within the next two months 130 trr.in- loads of rice are rJected to reach the capital. I-. :.,.'

However, the inconvenience will "only be h.mmrsrr ns Mr. GregoVv will onen a grocery store perhaps today and wilr bg ready to give put the usual euppues to first "of the month.
