NEW YORK, Dec. ee.-The Financier says Ghis week: The striking feature of the official last week was the increase of Is.B22. 800 in loans- This was notable chiefly because of the fact that loan expansion in the last weeks of the year is quite unusual banks generally be- ing h no condition ito extend liberal accommo- dntion to borrowers until after the turn of the new year. The excellentA reserve condition of the institutions in the previous week and the patton of the disbursement of interests and dividends immediately Iafter the beginning of the year. doubtless encouraged liberal lending which viii, account for the above noted in- crease.

ANXIOUS FOR A REPLY.
Herran and Reyes Threaten to Leav
 American Capital.


 Washington, Dec. 26.-Unless the United States in the reply which Secretary Hay VIII make to the note of General Reyes ac- cords Colombia that measure of satisfac- ton which from her point of view she feels herself entitled to with respect to Panama, both General Reyes and Dr. Herran will leave this capital. This WAS frankly admitted tonight.
 While disaVowing any intention of bringing undue pressure to bear on Sec retary Hay for a speedy reply to the note' which General Reyes has filed in behalf of his Government, both he and Dr. Herran are most anxious to be ap- prised of the Secretary's conclusions at the earliest possible moment.
 With the view of obtaining light on this point, pr. Herran, the Colombian Charge, today twice called at the resi- dence of Mir. Hay, but was unable to see him on account of his continued illness. The hope is entertained by both Genera Reyes and Dr. Herran that in the event of refusal by Mir. Hay to admit thei- contentious the United States may agree as last resort to a submission of the propositions to The Hague court of arbi- tration.
 It was pointed out that the filing os the note was in accordance with the treaty of 1S46 between the United States and Colombia, one of the provisions of which gives the contracting party feelms aggrieved at the action of the other the right to protest, with the further stipu-

London, Dec. 26.-Japan is negotiating for the purchase of two Chilean warships, the armored cruiser Esmeralda and an- other. probably the battleship Captain Prat, which are for sale.
 It is now only a matter of prices. Negotiations with other South American republics for the purpose of purchasing warships are now in progress.
 Baron Hayashi. the Japanese minister to Great Britain, said to a representative of the Associated Press today relative to the negotiations: We want more ships. Of course, this is only a precautionary measure and it may be a lot of expense all for nothing.
 T have no indication of the nature of the Russian reply. Personally I scarcely expect 1t to be delivered for some little time.
 '"There is no truth whatsoever in the report that Japan's last note stipulated a time limit
 Asked anent the dispatch from Berlin of December A saying the British gov ernment had represented to the Czar that just and earnestly expected that Russia would grant them, Baron Hayashi said, while he was not aware of the precise &C., ton taken by Great Britain at St. Peters burg, That the British government is well aware that Japan will be compelled to go to war unless Russia modifies the position she has taken In her last note.

Le Journal. Paris. deplores the fact that French commerce is slowly losing its markets, not only in the basin of the Mediterranean, where 1t once was vir- tually without competitors, but in Asia and the New World. The artile ends by calling attention to the example of the Americans, who have suggested a float ing exposition to exhibit their merchant disc in Pacific ports, and states that M. Louis Olivier, secretary of the Revue Genereale des Sciences, Paris. has taken advantage of this idea by equipping a steamer as a floating museum, which will visit the important commercial cen- ters of the Levant.
 The Anglo-Japanese Gazette. published in London, says: Taking the figures of exports from the United States to Japan for last year, as compared with those of 1901, an increase of 13 per cent is shown, while on the other hand Japanese im- ports from Europe show a falling off. In 1881 the United States furnished 5.72 per cent, and last year 179 per cent of the total imports, as compared with Great Britain's share of 59.57 per cent in 1881, and 1858 in 1902.

Russian Settlements Are Appearing
 / in China.

Washington. Dec. 26.-According to a report received at the State Department from United States Commercial Agent Greener at Vladivostock. Siberia, under date of July 9, 1908, Russian settlements have made their appearance at nearly all the larger railroad stations in Manchuria. Besides railroad offices and houses for their employees, there are many private buildings. One impeachment to the ex- pansion of these settlements is that no regular sales of land have yet been ar ranged for. It is said there will be an auction sale of lots next year. In the meantime, private persons are allowed to occupy lots temporarily.
 Regarding the affairs of Siberia, com mercial agent Greener says there is a surveying party now engaged in defining the route of the second Siberian railroad. The party will project the lines in such manner that instead of four daily trains of twenty cars each. nine trains of thir- ty-six cars each will run every twenty four hours. An appropriation of $5.l5O, 900 has been made for this improvement. He also states that the preliminary work for the railroad lines from Kiakhta to Peking via Urga has been accomplished

WAS WE'LL KNOWN CHAAcrER
Death of Old Woman Nespaper Ven
 dor of Paris.

New York, Dec. 26.-Mme. Henrite Duper- don. one of the best known characters of this city, is dead, says a Paris dispatch to The World. She was 76 years old and every day during the past thirty-sx years sold newspa- pers and magazines in a kiosk at the corner of the Rue Scribe and the Boulevard Des Capucnes in front of the Grand Hotel. She was the especial protege of the Americans who patronized the hotel and thousands of them sought her advice on all subjcts.
 The old woman's funeral promises to be one of the most notable Paris has seen for some time. Members of the Jockey Club nearby. one of the most exclusive clubs of the world. will attend in a body. This club for years sent a carriage nightly to the kiosk to take Mme. Duperdon home.
 Many gifts of money from houses were of fered the old woman. but she never would Rc- cept present. She contributed S2,0o0 to the cause of Napoleon III, but when after he be- came Emperor he sought to reward her sho proudly refused all his proffered favors. It Is supposed the Governments decision to close the kiosk over which she presided for so many years hastened her death.

TROOPS FOR CoREA.
Japan Preparing to Send 15,oo0 Men

Japan Preparing to Send f6, 900 Men At Once. '.- Paris, Dec. S.-lt was learned in author itative quarters today that Japan is about to send a large military force to Korea for the purpose of restoring and maintain ing order at the disturbed ports. The de-
 parture of this force is imminent. It
 will probably consist of division of Il, 00O men.
 Japan has been assured that Russia will not consider the sending of troops to
 Korea to be an unfriendly act or casus belli. It is anticipated that the departure of l troops will revive the war rumors, which.
 however, 1t is pointed out in the authori- tative quarters, will be unjusti1ed in views of Russia's acquiescence. During the recent exchanges of commu- nications between Russia and Japan, the former fully recognized the needs of the presence of strong military in Korea and conceded that Japan was in the best position to send troops to the dlsturbe1 districts
 The sending of troops, nevertheless, is construed as having an important bear ing upon the present negotiations. as 1t
 will be first conspicuous evidence of Ja- pans actual exercise of paramount au- thority over Korea. It is said in the same quarter that preparations for this expedi- tion were the cause for the recent great activity at the Japanese arsenals and dock yards which, 1t Is asserted. have
 been erroneously ascribed to preparations against Russia.
 Information has also been received that
 Foreign Minister Lamsdorf has personally
 received Japan's reply, and that in view of its terms le is said to have expressed
 surprise at the reports of Japan's belllg-
 erent attitude. This. 1t Is added. is re-
 garded as clearly showing the amiable
 spirit in which the negotiations are pro- ceeding..

The railroad officials suppose it has been sidetracked somewhere between Pittsburg and this place, and is now being searched for under orders from General Superin- tendent Wiley of the Baltimore and Ohio in order to inspect it and determine whether the responsibility for the wreck lies with those who loaded it.

POSITION OF ITALY.
Cause of Delay in Recognition of
 Panama Ranuhlic

Rome, Dec. 26.-Italy has delayed her recognition of the Republic of Panama, 1t Is stated here. because of an agreement with Great Britain by which Great Bri- tain and Italy pledged themselves to an- nounce their recognition of the new re- public simultaneously. Great Britain also endeavored to have Germany enter into the agreement. and thereby continue the same common action as was inaugurated by the three at the time of the recent troubles in Venezuela.
 Germany recognized Panama before an agreement with Great Britain could be concluded. Had 1t not been for this com pact with Great Britain, Italy would have opened diplomatic relations with Panama, immediately. as Signor Titoni, the Italian foreign minister, declared that he con sidered the new republic a guarantee for the quick building of the Panama canal, from which the whole world would bene- fit,
