LONDON, March l0.--The Times financial
article says: Arrangements point to the
completion of an Anglo.German syndicate
to obtain a Chinese loan of 6,O0O,000,
which will possibly be issued in two install
ments. We sincerely hope that there will
be no hitch in the arrangements, because
the influence which Russia has already
acquired in China much concerns other
nations.
The financial article also says: From
what we hear the Baltimore & Ohio recon-
struction plan will require nearly
t2O.000,00o.
The Berlin correspondent of the Stand
ard says:
The Chinese loan has been concluded at
per cent, repayable in thirty-siN years
and secured on customs receipts. This is
brilliant victory of the Anglo.German
over the French syndicate.
Berlin dispatch to the Times says:
Although any reports of the annexing of
Lapa or Queno are premature. there is
every indication that Germany proposes to
acquire an island or mainland harbor OH
the Chinese coast for coaling station. A
Hong Kong dispatch to the Vossische Zei-
tung reports that German officers and mer-
ahsuts are surveying likely points for such
purpose.
