Some Unexpected Difficulties Found

associated Press Special Wire


LONDON, Jan. 19.--Sir Michael Hicks
Beach, chancellor of the exchequer,
speaking at Bristol today, ridiculed the
notion of providing granaries, as had
been suggested in some quarters. He
said he was convinced the British navy
was strong enough to hold its own and
that in any war England would have
many friends ready to supply corn.
In concluding his speech, the chan
cellor of the exchequer announced that
China had approached England for as
sistance to pay the Japanese indemnity
and the negotiations were still pending.
The newspaper statements on the sub
ject he characterized as inaccurate and
incomplete. The government was not
ashamed of these negotiations and be-
lieved the country would approve them.
He could see no reason why foreign
powers should object but If the nego-
tiations failed, Great Britain would take
her stand on existing treaty rights.
Replying to a deputation of sugar re-
finery workmen that waited upon him
the government had readily accepted
Belgium's invitation to a sugar con-
ference and would do it's best to secure
a satisfactory result. He added that he
believed the feeling of the country was
so strong in favor of cheap sugar that
any proposal to prevent the Importation
of bounty paid sugar would meet with
the greatest opposition.

The desperation of the annexationists
is indicated by the hasty summoning Of
President Dole to the capital and by the
frenzied appeals which are being made
in the senate by Morgan and others for
speedy ratification. The ridiculous as
sertion of the Alabama man, on Tues
day. that this country will be involved
in a foreign war within six weeks after
the rejection, indicates the anxiety of
the friends of the measure as to it's ulti-
mate fate in the senate But it is GER
tain such ridiculous appeals as that will
have little influence upon senators as
we'll informed as the man who made use
of it. The probabilities of foreign en-
tanglements over Hawaii are known to
be more remote today than at any time
since annexation was first broached.

Warn. P. Not Preparing to

A short line between Salt Lake and
Denver seems to be a favorite topic
to dwell upon by certain newspapers
who are always building paper roads
and doing this, that and the other.
A Denver paper the other day pub
lished a map Of the territory to De
traversed and indicated the proposed
route by heavy line. A local morn
ing contemporary at once picked up
the story, and not to be outdone,
claimed the Credit of having pre-
dicted or rather outlined the route a
year or so ago. Local railroad men
are much amused over this kind OF
stuff.
The Denver News says: Amateur
newspaper writer's invariably select
this subject for a sensational story.
and that it has been favorite topic
for newspaper writer's of Denver and
Salt Lake who are in need of sub
ject as d space filler" 1t then pro
ceeds to recite some interesting facts
as follows:
ut is a we'll known fact that pre-
vious to the advent of the present
management of the Denver & Rio
Grande road, expensive surveys were
made from Denver over the various
routes which might be chosen for an
air line to Salt Lake. The results of
the SURVEYS are now on file in this
city The estimate of the cost of the
first 120 or 125 miles out of Denver
was so great that capitalists never
went any further with their inVeSti
cations. The engineers figured that
the line would cost $14,OOO,0OO if built
on such a gradient and degree of
curvature as would admit of fast
passenger and freight trains. The in
| terest on the investment at per cent
annually would consume two-thirds of
the gross income and it was readily seen
that to pay the fixed charges, earn
ings, would be necessary of $2.100000
annually. Further estimates showed
that the average earnings per mile
would have to be greater than any of
! the roads in Colorado had attained
under most favorable circumstances in
order to meet the demand of the fixed
charges. The conclusion was that the
road would inevitably go into bank
! ruDtcy before it could be put into
fairly good running ORDER
