has covered the proposed route eastward,

Admiral Bradford had said that the in
quiries had shown Midway Island much
preferable to Wake Island as landing
point. Wake Island Is low and washed by
the sea; cable houses would have to be
erected on tripods, and could be only indif-
ferent structures. There is no harbor and
1t would be difficult to land supplies. Mid
way Island. on the contrary, has a harbor
with eighteen feet of water and is we'll
suited for a station, although the route Is
140 knots longer than by Wake Island. The
admiral gave the proposed naval route as
follows:

The cost was estimated at 81 ,O5O per knot

recommend that in buying cable materials
the government should enter the markets
of the world, as 1t would be difficult to get
cables in this country The cost was esti-

the custom houses of the Persian gulf In

the custom houses of the Persian gulf. In
the event of a delay in the payments, the
loan bank. will have the right to control
the custom houses. Persia undertakes to
redeem all former foreign obligations out
OF the new loan, and not to cSn;ract any
other foreign loan until the new loan is
paid off without the consent OF the loan
bank.
Russia guarantees the bonds of the Per-
sian loan.
A London dispatch referring to the news
from ST. Petersburg says: There is a
widespread idea here that the Persian loan
has finally accomplished Russia's long-Iaid
plans to obtain complete political and imam
cial control of Persia. with the double OBJ
ject of ousting the British and assuring
Russia an outlet on the Persian gulf.
The news Of the Russian loan to Persia
is interpreted in Germany to mean that
Persia has virtually become Russian. The
press takes that view which the
latest displomatic reports from Teherdn con-
firm. In Berlin financial circles it Is said
that the loan will not come to the German
market.
The National Zeitung of Berlin SAYS:
There is no doubt that Persia will here
after be absolutely dependent upon Russia.
The latter may have made a doubtful
financial bargain. but, politically considered,
the transaction is unquestionably OF the
highest importance"
