DOMINICAN LOAN DELAYED.
Temporary Check In Negotiations
Not Believed Serious.

A temporary hitch has occurred In the
negotiations for the San Dominican loan
which is provided for pursuant to the
treaty recently negotiated between this
country and San Domingo
Just what the trouble Is the represen-
tatives of Kuhn, Loeb & Co.. from whom
the money 90 pay of the Dominican debt
is TO be obtained, decline 10 state
While It is said that the difficulty is
not necessarily a serious one, yet il is
likely that several months Will elapse be-
fore the loan finally is made and the en-
tire matter adjusted.
1t will be necessary for Senior VelasqueZ,
the minister Of finance OF San Domingo,
who has been In New York in conference
with the bankers and representatives of
this government, TO return to San Do
mlngo in order 10 stralghten out the
matter. The trouble seems TO be regard
ing certain details which may require
action by the Dominican congress.
Although the time for negotiating the
loan has expired. the bankers have In
dicated no intention Of taking advantage
Of the fact, but are willing to go on and
close up the matter as soon as possible.
In the meantime that part Of the Teve-
nues which are to be devoted 10 their
repayment Of the loan will continue 10
be deposited In the National City Bank
until the loan Is negotiated and q new
fiscal agent is designated

New York. Aug. 12-The Standard oil

Corporation Commissioner Herbert Knox
Smiths latest report, made public this
morning. in which It is charged that the
Standard has Systematically raised prices
on American consumers. while granting
reductions abroad. that it may Tetain and
strengthen its hold on the foreign mar
ket
The only reply the Standard OA Com
pany will make. q says the reply. IS the
following. an actual colloquy between a
representative Of the United States Bu-
reau Of Corporations and an English
dealer In Russian oils.
"U. S. Agent-You have contract rela-
ton in times with the sU ndard oil?
English Dealer-Yes.
"Tr. S Agent-Win YOU permit me TO
read the contract?
English Dealer-I VIII not. and am
amazed that you should make such a
request.
United States Agent-My reason for
making the request is that as a ccmpeti-
tor or the STANDARD Oh company I Snou8d
think you would be glad TO assist Us IN
downing them
The inquiries, reports. and illogical de-
ductons OF ali departments Of the govern
ment in this matter have been actuated
by no other spirit than downing the
Standard
What do the American people think OF
this. not only as a square deal PROPOSE

The business OF the Standard OIL Conf

careful reference 70 the rights Of the

have to do just now is 10 apply that law

No Cause for Complaint.
Mr. Bonaparte smiled that remarkable
smile Of his Then he added: Il don't
think that there is any reason TO com
plain Of us just now on the score Of
lack of energy and determination to en-
force the law"
Mr.. Bonaparte said yesterday that he
would probably go TO Baltimore either
this evening or tomorrow. but that he
was not certain that he would be pTeseAt
at the Republican convention. He did
not say whom he preferred among the
candidates. though there is an impress
sion, in spite of Mr. Bonaparte's abso-
late refusal to discuss the subject that
he believes Mr.. Gather to be the most
available candidate
Mr.. Bonaparte feels that the campaign
will not be managed by him, and that
therefore. the responsibility for the nomi-
nation is not on his shoulders.
To Confer with MaryIanders.
It IS well understood locally that Mr.
Bonaparte returned from the Berkshires
fo- the purpose of conferTlng with the
political leaders in Maryland quite as
much as with the object Of talking over
the prosecution Of the trusts with his
suboTdinates in Washington.
He viii divide his time during the next
two or three weeks, probably, between
Baltimore and Washington They have
just nominated a candidate for governor
in Maryland but the corporation busi-
ness Of the Department Of Justice, so far
as the Washington end is concerned, is
languishing just at present.
A long conference was held between
Attorney General Bonaparte and Mr
Russell, one of his assistants. who has
been acting as Attorney General during
his absence No announcement was made
as a result Of their talk but Mr. Bona
parte remarked afterward that he had
received a telegram from Frank B. Kel-
logg, special counsel for the government
in the Standard oil cases. saying that
the taking of testimony in the oissolu-
ton proceedings against the Standard will
be begun in New York September g.
II IS among the possibilities that the
government viii apply to the courts for
the appointment OF a receiyership for the
Standard Oh Company as a result Of
these dissolution proceedings. The court
will. of course, have a large discretion
in case of the presentation OF such a
prayer by the Department of Justice. and
the discretion may not be exercised in
favor of the government

ALTON GIVEN IMMUNITY.
Railroad May Not Suffer More In
Standard Rebate Case.

c. r. Morrison, former United States
district attorney al Chicago, has called
to the attention or Attorney General
Bonaparte the fact that In the prosecu-
ton Of the Standard oil Company under
the Elkins law the Chicago and Alton
Railroad was promised immunity
This was done when Mr.. Morrison, as
district attorney, was formulating the
case and obtained from the Alton evil
dence which was Of value in the action
which resulted in the Standards being
fined more than 29,000. 0o0 II is under
stood that the Attorney General has COM
municated this fact to Judge lands at
Chicago.
No reply has been received from the
judge. and It is therefore not known here
what effect this viii have upon his action
in directing that grand jury be assem-
bled next Wednesday 10 consider the Al
tons responsibility in the transactions for
which the Standard was fined.
The Department Of Justice, IN its prose-
cution Of the Standard. has been willing
to promise immunity 10 railroads which
were forced by the oil trust 10 give re-
bates or see its traffic go 10 rivals, and II
was in this spirit that the Alton was
given protection.
