Said to Have Received 100000 For His
Services to China.
CHICAGO, June IA special from
Washington says: John w. Foster,
former secretary of state, who has
been the counsel for China in the
negotiations with Japan, has cabled
that his work is completed, that China
has negotiated her loan and that he
expects to be in Washington by July
1t is said that the negotiations Of
China from the outset to the end have
been dictated and conducted by Mr.
Foster. 1t has been ascertained also
that by reason of his extended ac-
quaintance in Russia, which he formed
when United States minister there, he
was enabled to secure for China the
endorsement of the Russian govern
ment of the Chinese loan With this
endorsement is was possible for China
to negotiate the loan in Paris, which
was done. In the history Of the
worlds diplomacy it has probably
never before occurred that a foreigner
has been given to such an extent the
confidence of another government. 1t
is ascertained that the Chinese govern
ment acted in strict accordance with
the advice of Mr.. Foster on every
subject. The fee of Mr.. Foster is said
to be 500, O00"

1t is in a lugubrious tone that some of
the leading papers of Europe are telling
a new and interesting story in regard
to Japan. They have suddenly reached
the conviction that the little empire Is
as smooth in diplomacy as she is puis-
SAINT in war. According to the European
authorities referred to, the powers have
been induced to play Japan's own game
and now that they have been victimized
see how the shells were worked. They
say that the empire expected interior
ence SO soon as its terms of peace were
announced and arranged it's stipula-
lions with view to having them inter-
fered with just as they were. Japan
gets big pay in return for a compare
lively small amount of territory which
she used as a decoy, and is to remain
in control of that territory until the
debt is paid With such real estate Sc
curity she is not liable to push the
debtor, and the wise old governments
of Europe are rubbing their eyes to take
another look at this precious upstart
that so cleverly took them in at the first
attempt.

THE ADVANCE IN LEATHER.

The immense advance in the price of
hides and leather is causing a great
deal of comment. w. B. Bentley, of
the firm of Bentley & Olmsted, of Des
Moines, one of the largest wholesale
shoe houses in the west. in speaking of
the remarkable condition Of the
market, said: Nothing like this
advance has ever before been known
in the leather business. Some kinds
of hides have advanced $50 per cent
in the last few months, while leather
which sold last summer at cents is
now Is cents, and sole leather which
sold at 81 cents is now SO to So cents,
and going higher. As there is I'M
doubtedly real scarcity, prices of
leather must rule higher for some
time to come. 1t has been reported
that our factory at West Pullman is
closed. This is Incorrect On the
contrary, it is turning out over 1000
pairs of shoes daily. Having purchased
a large amount of leather before the
advance, we have been able to con-
tinue selling at lower prices than we
could have done otherwise"
