PLENTY OF COIN FOR CHINA
American Capitalists Seeking to Make
the Loan
Misapprehension in Regard to Money Already
Advanced to the Pagan Kingdom by
French Capitalists

WASHINGTON. June 21.-Otficials OF
the Chinese legation say that American
capitalists who are negotiating in China
to secure loan of 200. 900, 900 taels, which
China is about to pay to Japan, are by no
means urging vague or futile suit, and
that they stand quite as good chance of
securing the loan as any other money
representatives.
Some misapprehension has been created
by cable statement that China has
closed her loan in Paris. 1t is explained
by officials that this loan is subordinate
one of 1000, 900 taels to cover the surren-
der of Liao Tung pc ninsula.
AS Russia and France prevailed on
Japan to make surrender. thus yielding
the permanent occupancy OF Port Arthur,
these two countries undertook to guaran-
tee the loan of 100000 taels, which re-
imburseo Japan for this particular trans
action. But the main indemnity of 200,-
000,00 taels carries no guaranty by
Russia and France, and it is this
main loan which is still open and to
which the attention of American invest
ors is attracted. There is much interest
ing speculation as to the result of the
loan if it is secured by the American par
ties. 1t is said tina the first result would
be the shipment of an unprecedented
amount of silver. But as China's bonds
are payable in gold, the ultimate result
would be to bring back gold for the silver
paid to Japan. 1t is pointed out also
that the interest on the entire loan will
not exceed SIS, 900, 900 annually, so that the
Chinese customs receipts of 500, 0J0 900 will
readily meet the interest charges and
provide sinking fund for the redempt-
ion of the bonds, which win probably run
for twenty years.

QUACKENBUSH DON'T QUAKE
A Naval Officer Who Insists Upon His
Rights
Claim That a Presidential Communication Voids
Judgment of Dismissal from the
Service

WASHINGTON, June. 21.-John N.
Quackenbush, whose name was dropped
from the naval rolls, gained point
when Judge Bradley of the district SUI
preme court issued writ on Secretary
Herbert to show cause why permanent
writ of mandamus should not be granted
to compel him to restore Mr.. Quac ken =
bush to the navy with the rank of COM
mander.
The case is quite a celebrated one.
Commander Quackenbush was sentenced
by court martial to dismissal from the
navy, but President Grant commuted the
sentence to suspension for six years.
Through clerical error when W. S.
Schley was promoted to the rank of COM
Inander, his commission read vice Quack-
enbush. dismissed. 1t was held however,
that owing to this error Quackenbush was
still in the navy, and he was so recog-
niZed until 1883 when Secretary Chand-
ler ordered his name stricken from the
naval rolls.
Since then Mr.. Quackenbush has been
trying to secure reinstatement through
congress, and failing, decided to appeal
to the courts.

TIRED OF HIS JOB
The Duke of Cambridge's Retirement Is
Announced


Announced
LONDON, June 21.-The announcement
that the Duke of Cam bridge has finally
decided to retire from the post of COM
mander-i in-chief of the British army will
be welcome news to very many Britons.
Certain English newspapers and certain
sections of the political parties of Great
Britain have been strongly urging his re-
tirement for years past.
Recent dispatches have forshadowed
the announcement in the house OF COM
mons today. 1t was recently stated, too,
that Lord Roberts of Kandahar would
succeed Lord Wolseley at Dublin as cor-
mander of the forces in Ireland, and that
Lord Wolseley would take the newly Gre
ated post of chief of staff and headquar-
ters in the event of the retirement Of the
Duke of Cam bridge.
A few days following this statement DR..
Tanner, Parnell member, caused
commotion in the house by asking if the
report was true that the Duke of Cam
bridge was retiring in order to make way
for better man.
This caused loud cries of "Order," but
DR.. Tanner continued saying: Has
the time at last come when memb bel of
the royal family who has been drawing
the peoples money too long, is going to
retre?'' ~.
Considerable uproar followed and the
house adjourned with DIR. Tanner gesticu-
lAting wildly and trying to address the
sneaker.

THAT COMMITTEE REPORT
Several ti-Silver Men Not Inclined to Be
Bound by 1t

CLEVELAND June 21.-The assemb-
ling of the Republican league convention
for the third days session was delayed
till almost noon by the meetings of
officers of the state league, the executive
board, the committee on league work
and other organizations engaged in
routine business. Meantime, while the
band was entertaining the waiting crowd
at Music hail, leading anti-silver men
were in conference on the Patton substi-
tute for the usual set of resolutions.
Many anti silver leaders were not inclined
to be bound by the compact the commit
tee entered into in order to extricato
itself. None were, however, able to sug.
eest any plan that would prevent mi
nority report and precipitation of a fight
on the floor of the convention. The anti
silver members of the committee insisted
that they had made the best possible
egates to stand by the Patton substitute
rather than bring about a worse result
than its adoption.
The silver leaders told all their sup.
porters to keep quiet in the convention
and let the anti-silver men fight it out
among themselves, if the silver question
was reopened by an effort to adopt any
resolutions or otherwise. Pennsylvania
decided to support the report of the COM
nlttee on resolutions.
Although many had gone home, Music
hall was filled when General McAlpin,
the new president, called the convention
TO order ut ii o'clock. Chairman Nc
Alpln had the states called again for
nominations for secretary and the name
of NJ. j. Bowling was presented by Min
ne.ota and seconded by other states.

luton to have the selection of secretary

grounds than special qualifications for

Judge A. L. Morrison of New Mexico
said Secretary A. B. Humphrey had been
carefully selected by the executive COM
mittee eight years ago and reelected
every year since by the convention with
out opposition, and he considered it best
to have an investigation by the executive
committee first before trying new man.
r. R.Churc!;ill of Colorado denounced
the resolution as intended to defeat
Byrne, and he appealed to the convention
if Byrne was defeated not to do that way.
Mrs. ]. Ellen Foster said it was prece-
dent OF the Reublican national commit
tee and of the party to have such i'm port
ant secretaries selected by executive com
itees, not by conventions.
General Carr of Illinois. who cham
pioned Mr.. Edens for secretary, held that
those who made canvasses were now be-
ing fairly treated. Numerous points of
order were raised on the constitutionality
OF the resolution. All were overruled bv
Chairman McAlpin. who finally refused
to recognize any one until order was re-
stored. Powers of Michigan finally with
drew the resolution so business could pro-
ceed. Senator-elcct J. NJ. Thurston of

been withdrawn, yet he received some
votes. Before the result Of the ballot was
announced changes were made from
Byrnes and Edens to NJ. j. Bowling, and
the latter's election was made unanimous
without count. The committee on reso-
lutions reported the Patton resol uton,
which was adopted without debate. The
result was greeted with applause.

Comment on the Emperor's Speech

PARIS. June 2l.-The newspaper gen.
orally regard Emperor Williams speech
at Ham burg as inspired by desire to
be agreeable rather than expressive Of
his real sentiments.
The Estaffel declares that it is neces-
sary for the realization Of the wishes eX-
pressed by the emperor that France an d
Germany should be reconciled; i, e., that
the question of Alsace- Lorraine be settled.
The Solell remarks that in spite of the
pacific tone of the emperor's utterances,
morose persons remark that peaceful fes-
tivities have sometimes preceded terri BILE
wars.
The Raphael. referring TO the same SUBJ
ject, says that Europe does not believe
that peace is the sole object of the build
ing OF the Baltic and North Sea canal.
According to La Paix. Emperor Will
lam desires peace, but the republic alone
an give universal peace to the brother
ood of nations.
The Steele submits that the peaceful
language of the emperor is consistent
with the dispatch of a wreath to London
on the anniversary of Waterloo.
According to the Radical the simplest
method of assuring peace is for Germany
to surrender what she owes to war, r,appar-
emily referring to Alsace Lorraine.
The Petite RepuDlique expresses the
opinion that to credit the utterances of
Emperor William at Hamburg vessels of
commerce should have been convoked at
kIel, not warships.
The Gaulois regrets that Germany does
not admit even that there is an Alsace-
Lorraine question.
