PAPER HAS
SENSATIONAL STORY

days reports have been circulated that
certain banking interests of this city
have engaged in negotiating for a
large amount of gold direct from the
Bank OF France.
Political Questions Involved.
The reports also intimated that GER
tain political questions are involved in
the negotiations with reference to
some preferential tariff agreement.
Morgan Made Effort.
From authoritative sources it was
learned today that an effort to secure
French gold direct was made by the
banking house of ]. P. Morgan. At
the beginning of the financial trouble
a representative of Morgan was sent b.
Paris for this purpose.
Desired Government Cooperation.
The Bank of France intimated its
Willingness to send s2n, 900, 900 in gold,
but, because of its goyernmen char
acter, it desired some form of COM
initial from this government in SO
large a transaction.
No Profit to Importers.
Communication with Washington
was begun, and still CT %1tinues, to find
some method by which the t~ransac-
ton a be completed. 1t is probable,
however, that the gold will be brought
over in any event. 1t is stated that no
profit will result to the importers.

tion he was inclined TO accept as a
satisfactory measure IL IL expected
that he will back up the measure
when II Is taken up for consideration
by congress
Senator Dick stated he was con-
vinced that II Is absolutely necessary
to grant an increase OF pay, especially
for the enlisted men. II the army Is TO
be maintained at anything like It's

GLOOMY FUTURE FOR
FLOWERY KINGDOM

Toxic. Aug. 17.-Private dispatches
from Peking forecast a gloomy future,
owing to the unsettled state of politics
there, caused by the absence Of a
ruling mind powerful enough TO cope
with the situation. The empress
dowager, who heretofore has been sole
mistress of affairs, ts now I'm critical
state OF health. Her policy 80 far has
been to play one minister against an
other In order to prevent the concen-
tration of power IN any single hand.
Inasmuch as the empress is In
capacitated by an incurable disease
and as historical animosity OF the
Manchus and mendarlns is increasing.
the prevailing state of AFFAIRS in the
Peking government constitutes a bafr-
ling problem.
Whatever compromise may be effect
ed between the progressive Yuan Shi
Kai and the conservative Chang Tu
Tung. there appears little hope OF real
izing the complete stability of Peking
authority so imperatively necessary TO
the Integrity OF the empire and the
peace OF the far east In general.
While a fresh guarantee OF peace
has appeared in the form OF the Rus
sian Japanese entente, peace will be
constantly subject TO disturbance un-
I'll some decided measures are taken
to re-establish order in Peking poll
tics.
This, however. IL deemed impossible
OF accomplishment so long as a Man
chu and mandarin survive.
