Although M. Witte denied any inten- ton of discussing the question of a loan on his visits to Paris and Berlin, while here he consulted with the president of the Credit Lyonaise, and with Baron Hottinger, who formed the syndicate that foated the last loan. A member of the Berlin firm of Mendelsohn & Co.,, also visited M Witte here and these confer ences, taken in connection with the meet ings between the Russian statesman and Premier Rouvier, who exercises power full influence with the banks. appear to have paved the way toward the floating of a loan.
 A peculiar feature of the situation is that the settlement between Germany and France of the difficulties over Mo- rocco promises to expedite the loan. since it relieves Germany of possible compica- tion with Russia over the Franco Russian alliance, and also gives stability to the French government M. Wittes friendly influence toward the adjustment of the Moroccan situation Is attributed chiefly to Russia's desire to clear way for her access to the money markets of Paris and Berlin.

 MT. Magid has written a letter to J. A. Clifford & Co.,. notifying them of his op- ton dated August ', and which became valid upon the expiration of the Clifford option, whic5 he states, was on August IS. Mir Magid states in his letter that he holds the only valid option on the falls and proposes to purchase the property before that option expires. He notifies Gif- ford & Co that any money they may ex- pend in the matter will be at their own risk.
 In the meantime Clifford & Co., have sold the property, they claim, and they deny that Magid has any title to 1t.
 The outcome of the matter will be awaited with perhaps as much interest as the fact that one of Georgia's greatest beauties of nature Is soon to be turned to commercial uses.

JAP GETS GUAM TRADE.
Line of Steamers From San Francisco
 and Manila Is Needed.

Washington, September 27.-Commander G. L. Dyer, naval governor of Guam, in his annual report of the navy department says the natives are well pleased with the sovereignty of the United tSates, and that there is no sentiment among them for independence.
 The natives, he says, should have the full benefit of their intimate connection with the United States, free of customs duty. "The absence of line of freight carrying craft between San Francisco, Guam and Manila" says the governor throws all of the trade of the islands into the hands of Japan. They have es- tablished stores, regular lines of sehoon- CTS, practically monopolize trade and fix prices. Under these conditions living ex- penses for the natives are cruelty high.
