HAY IS GOLD-BRICKED
Light Thrown on Wanted
open Door" Agreement.
NOT IR0N-CLAD PACT
ANY NATION MAY BREAK IT IF
IT FEELS INCLINED.

New York, June ia Washington
special to the Herald says: While they
admit that the open door negotia-
lions are not as conclusive as Secretary
Hay desired, officials of the administra-
ton point out that at least a long step
toward the preservation of American
treaty rights in the spheres of influence
in China has been taken.
Secretary Hay declined to discuss the
doubts cast upon the success of the
negotiations in an article printed in the
National Review, written by Robert A.
Yerburgh, N. P. 4 European diplo-
mat well informed of every stage of the
negotiations and thoroughly acquainted
with Chinese affairs said today that
the general conclusions reached by MIR.
Yerburgh were practically those of
every diplomat who has taken pains to
study the notes exchanged.
Britain Replies With a String.
That the arrangement reached is not
iron clad was apparent not only to
members Of the diplomatic corps but
to administration officials after the re-
ceiDt of the replies of foreign gov
ernments to the American representa-
lions. The assertion has been made
that Great Britain complied in every
respect with the wishes of Secretary
Hay. The Diplomat who discussed the
matter this afternoon points out that
that is not the case.
Il have much pleasure in informing
your excellency," Lord Salisbury's note
stated, that her majesty's government
will be prepared to make a declaration
in the sense desired by your govern
men in relation to the leased territory
OF Veil ai-Wei, and all territories in
China which may hereafter be acquired
by Great Britain by lease or other
wise and all spheres of influence now
held, or which may hereafter be held
by her in China, provided that SINH
lar. declaration is made by the other
powers concerned"

BRYAN At His Worst .

From the New York Sun.
1t is not pleasant To find a candidate
for president of the United States talk
ing as foolisnly or dishonesty as Mr..
Bryan talked at Monet, Mo:
THE republicans are now bosstip &
that we have reached q point where
we can loan none to people in other
countries. L want to ask you whether
you regard that as an evidence OF proc
perity. Why would any man send his
money to Europe for Investment IL he
could find q pl ace ia this couutry to In
vest It? Money cent sbrosd for invest
ment must be cent for one OF two rea-
sons, either because the man who sends
the money over there thinks more of
she people over there than he does OF
the people here and does It for love
and devotion, or because IL Is matter
of business, that lie. because he can in
vest IL to better advantage In Europe
sn country than he can In this coun-
try"
Mr.. Bryan either knows or does not
know that the country has accumulat-
ed so uuch money under that financial
system which he IL trying to break
down that IL has money to lend At a
low rate OF interest to the rest OF the
world. he either knows or does not
know that q low rate Of interest is good
for the country 10 general, especially
for that "debtor class" for which he
shows 90 much concern. He either
knows or does not know that Q country
which, is able to lend must be prospe-
rous. he either knows or does not
know that the big elice of the German
losu taken by life insurance company
represents In large measure the saw
