An hour later the young woman,
dressed in a faded black merino, and
badly sheltered from the steadily in
creasing rain by an umbrella pierced
with holes. passed along the street
from her lodging house. Her mind
was SO full of her husband and her
aunt, and the unpleasant duty before

The officers of the Hong-Eong and
Shanghai Bank here confirm the reports re-
garding the loan, which, it IS added. has
been arranged in all its details, but will not
be signed for a day or two. The loan is at
a low rate of interest. probably 81 per
cent, and will be issued below par. The
security is of two kinds-revenues already
unpledged and international security in the
shape of new ports to be opened, the port
dues of which would be pledged The loan
would not have been concluded had not
Germany insisted, in order TO prevent Rus
STA obtaining it.
The Foreign Office has issued the follow

which have been agreed to by the Chinese
government and the representations of Sir
Claude Macdonald. British minister at

China are to be opened to British and 9TH
er steamers in the course of June next.
Thus wherever the use of native boats is
now permitted by treaty, foreigners will be
equally allowed to employ steamers or
steam launches. whether owned by them or
by the Chinese. In view OF the great inn
portance attached by Great Britain to the
retention of the Yang Use region in Chinese
possession the Chinese government has Tor
mally intimated to the British government
that there can be no question of the terri
tory in the valley or region of the Yang Use

the lifting will be done by the smaller der
rick, which is of sufficient capacity for the
lighter upperworks of the Maine, but it will
take the monster derrick Monarch to lift
the huge turrets OF the Maine and the guns
mounted within them. Captain Humphreys
stated that the purpose was not to separate
the big guns from the turrets, but to lift
them as 4 whole. This will be a tire

weight of each turret and gun Is 166 tons.
The Monarch can lift 260 tons, so there is
