To-day the reporter, M. Jeanniney, declared it was premisture to report the Bill to the Senate na the particulars available were still inenmplete, and he resigned on the Committee's deciding in favour of an immediate vote. M. Reynald was thereupan appointed as

report.r.

M. Poincare emphasised that the Government's responsibility would an no account exceed the portion of the Boxer Indemnity devoted to the purposes of the Bill. The gold dollar bonds deliverable to the Bank's Far Eastern creditors would not bear the Government's signa- tore, and France had contracted no Francial obligations thereon. The procedure was simply an assignment of credit, whereunder the French Government did not guarantee the debtor's solvency; but the Government insisted that ail the Bank's shares should be paid up. This was a sine que von for a Franco-Chinese agreement.

Questioned, M. Poincare said the protection of the interests of small Chinese creditors of the Bank would be entrusted to French agents and Consuls. The matter of the development of Franco- Chinese educational and charitable institutions to which the balance of France's share of the Boxer Indemnity would be devoted would be subject to agreement between the two Governments. France hoped- that jinf control would be arranged,
