Cost Of Muddy Day.

1t has been calculated that the cost
or muddy day in London is some
thing like $4,000, which is not sur.
prising when one remembers that no
less than 81 tons Of mud is. carried
about from place to place on the
wheels of carts and carriages and
horses hoofs. After a wet day mud
brushed from peoples clothing
amounts to 15 tons, and,a very similar
amount Is shaken out Of doormats.

FRENCH LAUGH At ROOSEVELT

President Roosevelt has not made
himself very strong with the French
people over his miX-up with the
Panama canal scandal and his strenuous
denial coupled with his Ananias char
acterizatiOn of those who state that
American citizens did not profit by the
purchase and sale of the canal. In fact
he has made himself u laughing stock to
the French nation who all know better
and who are acquainted with the inner
details of the workings of the syndicate
which made u $2S,0O0,0O0 profit OH
$40, 600, 900 deal. and then not satisfied
with that enormous margin OF profit
made a few million incidental on the
side.
When President Roosevelt published
his famous denial, it was telegraphed to
that country and promptly caused
roar of laughter which has not yet sub
sided Paris financicrs who were inter
ested i'll the transaction were not as dis
Greet evidently us were those on the
American side who profted through the
Vaccinations of the American high
priests of finance, for they talked and
the French newspapers promptly took
up the matter and exploited it to the
fullest degree. The French people
knew there was nothing in the idea that
no one had prOfited as President ROose-
welt had said, and especially did those
who had invested in Panama canal
bonds under the French management
know this to be the case for they not
only lost their investment, but were
placed in the huniliating position of
knowing that that not only was their
money gone but That smooth set of
manipulators had made Il very large
amount of easy money" at their ex-
pense.
The French individual purchasers of
Panama canal bonds We're the largest
losers. The redistribution" which Presi-
dent Roosevelt talks 50 much of, was
never made and there WAS no money dis
tributed to the French Stockholders.
The redistribution" was to the American
"hnanciers," who worked the deal
through and who by the means of an
incipient rebellion which is openly
acknowledged by them and which they
fomented and caused, robbed the
Colombian government of their ter
ritory and then sold it to the United
States for an, enormous sum and then
crowned their mfamy by beating the
they had put into the canal proposition.
In order to show how the French people
feel, it is but necessary to reproduce the
following taken from one of the leading
Paris newspapers:
81 'Prominent men in Paris VINO figured
in the Panama canal deal laughed when
they were shown President R0OSevcits
strong and nncquivOcal statement deny
ing the report that certain Americans
got a "rakeolf' from the sale of the
Panama canal"
81 do not care to have myself enrolled
in the ANIMALS Club said one of the
best known newspaper owners Of Paris,
''and therefore do not care to be quoted,
but know Il thing or two about the
subject under discussion. President
Roosevelt doubtless is perfectly sincere,
but at the same time he does not know
the details nor would nc be likely to.
In fact, they are not particularly the

WASHINGTON, Oct. I1.-Whether or

Picking in the capacity of American minis
ter to China seemed today to depend upon
the outcome of conferences between Mr..
Crane and Secretary of State Knox, who
Unexpectedly and rather mysteriously
summoned Mr.. Crane from San Francisco
to Washington on the eve of his proposed
sailing across the Pacific to assume the
duties of his office.
Many indications early today supported
the belief that the situation in which Mr..
Crane stands was exceedingly serious,
and in quarters presumably well inform
ed, the belief strengthened with the pass
age of the hours that Minister Cranes
connection with the diplomatic service was
in a very precarious condition.
1t was thought this morning the matter
would not be closed up today, but might
in fact require several days for final adj
justment From the air of intense ex-
pectancy which prevailed at the state de-
partment, however, it was evident that
any hour might bring the situation to
crisis.
Mr. Crane arrived from San Francisco
late yesterday afternoon and was closeted
until far into the night with Secretary
Knox and his special counsel, former So
licitor General William NJ Hoyt, but
nothing authentic was obtainable as to
the nature or results of that conference.
The state department has in hand, it
is said, what 1t regards as more or less
convincing evidence that Minister Crane,
on the eve of his departure for the
Far East became responsible for the pub
LEGATION in a Chicago newspaper of what
the department views as a most indis-

have been the most serious because that

sideration, no decision having been ar
rived at.
