THE CAPE MAY JETTIES
About Sixty Per Cent. OF the
Work Has Been Completed

From the Cape May Herald.
Jetties extending six thousand feet
into the ocean have been built by the
Breakwater Construction Company at
the new port of entry at Cold Spring
Inlet, Cape May. About sixty per
cent. of the entire construction has
been completed. Ships drawing TWEEN
ty feet of water will be able to enter
the port between these immense sea
walls, and the value to be derived
from the new port of entry has aroused
the interest of engineers and mer-
chants the world over. Experts de-
clare that the jetries must be extended
two thousand feet further If a twenty
five foot channel is required. Congress
appropriated n million two hundred
and fifty thousand dollars for this work,
but only a part of the money has been
expended.

Inc Benefits OF Walking

One of the strongest points of walk
ing as an exercise is that it keeps the
body in splendid condition to meet any
unusual stress or strain which 1t may
be called upon to withstand. Then,
too, walking seems to effect a general
tuning up of the entire system, which
enables the athlete or gymnast to per
form his favorite feats of strength, even
when circumstances are such as TO
make it Impossible for him to keep in
constant practice From December

The Chinese Loan.

London, June l7.-Unexpected oppo-
sition to the participation of the Amerl-
eau banking syndicate in the Chinese
loan of $27, 900, 900 fjr the construction
OF the HankOw-Sze. Ohuen Railway, de-
veloped today In the British foreign
Office.
The foreign Office took up the consid-
Grafton of Ambassador Reid's represen-
tations which were made In accordance
with instructions from Washington.
While no formal decision was reached,
the consensus Of opinion in the foreign
Office was that America had "slept on
her rights" and that it WAS now too
late to reopen the negotiations.
Advices from Pekin indicate that the
American syndicate will get It's share Of
the loan despite the opposition OF the
foreign Office. The Chinese government
has said it would refuse to rstify the
loan unless the American claim is ad-
mitted, which claim is based on a writ
ten agreement that dates back to 1904.
The English, German and French foreign
diplomats In Pekin, though unfavorsble
to the inclusion of the American bank
ers, have intimated that it would be un-
wise for their homo institutions to OBJ
ject further. as the attitude of China Is
such as eventually to force the admis-
sion of the Americans.
