HITCH IN LOAN CASE.
Diplomatic Difficulties an Chi
nese affair Reported.
fFrom The Tribune Bureau.J

Washington, Oct 4-In well informed
diplomatic circles there is an impression
that the status OF the Chinese loan ques-
ton is far from satisfactory to the coun-
tries involved. II was intimated to-day
that there has been e hitch in the negO-
tiations and that a settlement OF the case
is not near at hand. While officials OF the
State Department. in the absence OF Sec
rotary Knox. refuse to discuss this question
except 10 say that things are making sat
isfactory progress it is limited that Mr..
Knox will have to exercise exceptional
skill in order TO gain for this nation what
lie set out to accomplish.
It is understood that when. through the
diplomatic handling OF the question by Mr..
Knox, an agreement was made that the
United States was to take part in the loan,
1t was arranged that each of the four coun-
tries parties to the loan should have
sort of supervisory control over sections OF
the new Chinese railroad. The entrance OF
the United States involved a complete
change of plans, inasmuch as a division OF
the railroad control had been made by
France. England and Germany. Growing
out OF this redistribution of authority over
the construction Of the railroad, are serious
diplomatic difficulties which. it is said. are
serving to delay and seriously to interfere
with final settlement of the entire loan
question.
Picking. Oct. 24.-Hsu Shin Chang, presl-
dent of the Board OF Communications. has
not yet fixed date for the continuance OF
the negotiations regarding the foreign loan
of SSO.OO00O0 for the construction OF the
Hankow & Sze-Chuen Railroad. which were

son for this delay is the opposition re-

Nj. Hearst said that his speech WAS a
Sunday sermon. He prefaced it by read
ing some extracts from a speech he had
made year before. This was to show
that his position was not changed He
then spoke Of the German ideal Of citi-

ideal Some Of his activities and ,yavs
Of spending his time were mentioned 10

Continuing, he said
The distinctly American idea is 10 allow

DR. COOK TALKS TO 1000
 PERSONS AT KANSAS ClI1
Arctic ESpIorer Greeted With EnthusI- astlc Applause by the Audi
 ence--A Beautiful Scene.

Kansas City, Oct. 9.-Starting De tween the parted halves of brilliant ly Illuminated American flag, pr Frederick A. Cook appeared before an audience of 1000 persons in Conven- ton hall to tell the story of his dash to the North Pole and his still more adventurous return to civilization. The lecture was literally illustrated Dy stereoptcon views.
 The explorer was greeted by enthu- slastic applause while he walked down the steps to the platform. His even ing clothes showed to advantage the stalwart figure that had borne so well the sardships of climate and semi starvation in the Arctic regiors.
 The effect of Dr. Cooks entrance was as specacular as the occasion de served. The end of the hall behind the stage was covered with electric light bulbs which, even unlighted, as the audience first saw them, made handsome design of an American flag in the center of a fan of multi-coloret rays Standing one on each side of the flag were two sailor girls who had taken part in the ballet the night be fore. At each side of this centerpiece were two large initials, c, also done in electric lights.
 The audience sat quietly until with a click the arc lights of the big hall went out There was a shuttle of ex- pectancy and murmur began when the initials lighted up. The sound grew louder when the flag suddenly blazed out in the darkness and the colored rays, suggestive of the mid night sun, were also lighted. Still the two sailor girls stood with folded arms. Then the searchlight was thrown on them, they put out a hand and drew each half of tne flag aside, disclosing Dr. Cook.

 Equalization Board.

Texarkana, Oct. l0.-Tne ac- ton of the Board of Equalization in raising assessments in Miller county, and more especially in Texarkana, has created excite ment among the people of u c community.
 Especially is this true in the case of certain corpora tions, in cluding the Gas and Electric Company (which includes the street railway, the water com pany and some of the banks, and also few of the larger individual property owners, who are com blaming loudly against the in- creases iu their assessments and who, 1t is understood, will make
 forts 10 induce County Judge KimbalI to It duce the assessments when the court takes up this part of it's business.
 The Board of Equalization is being bitterly denounced and crit icised in some quarters and just as vigorously upheld and defended in others. A hot controversy has been in progress io the local press between the two sides for several days, and t IS freely predicted that the question will form a chief issue in the comlng cam. paign for county offices. and that tbere will be two full county tickets in the primaries, one rep resenting each side of the con- troversy.

A NICE MAN TO ACCUSE OTH.
 FRS, IS CANNON.

ln March Joseph c. Cannon maae 2. dea with Democratic representatives by which he saved most of the auto cratic power of the speakership. Now a responsible member of Congress charges that the bargain involved the suppression of good legislation at Albany obnoxious to Tammany Hall.
 In July Mir. Cannon asked as per sonal favor that exCongressman Isit- tauer Of New York, ( glove manuf5c turer, be given an increased duty on gloves as reward for the help he had given the speaker in the rules fight, This request so stirred the indignation of President Taft that he tod the men who approached him on the subject that he would veto the bill if the glove increases were included. Kansas City Star
 This same Cannon is a nice man to accuse the ''insurgent" Republican senators and representatives who would not support his tariff bill with halping Bryan, is he not? But be it said for Arkansas. it is not respon- sibIe for any of Cannon's power so corruptly used.

Talk of Rebuilding the East Wing Re viscd by Fall of Stone
 From Portico.

Topeka, Oct. 9.---A big chunk of stone. weighing more than fifty pounds, broke off one of the columns of the east portico of the statehouse today and in falling missed visitor py only few inches.
 The erumbling of the pillars has re newed the talk of rebuilding the east wing of the big building The stone used in its construction was very soft and has been crumbling slowly away for years. This wing was the first part of the statehouse constructed. State officials are talking of a plan to remove the stone veneer of the wing and replace it with the same stone that was used in constructing other parts of the building. The walls are of brick with a stone veneer There were numerous changes in details in the designs of the other wings of the building after the east wing was put up and in the rebuilding this wing would be made to conform to the other parts of the structure. It is esti- mated that the cost would be $50000. An effort was made several years ago to get an appropriation for this work.

Additional Suits to be Brought Against Persons Who Have Secured
 Their Lands Illegally.

Washington, Oct 9.--It is probable that additional suits will be brought by the government against those per. sons who by various means secured from members of the five civilized tribes, Indian lands. that under the federal governments contention could not be alienated
 The suits already brought involve large areas of valuable lands which the government purposes to recover 10 the Indians and establish a clear title. These cases have been ad. yanced for a hearing In the United states circuit court of appeals on December and 1t Is now likely that suits will be instituted along the same mes, but covering further transac. tions, and embracing 5000 additional tracts, varying from ten to l6O acres each. These cases are to be fought along the same lines as those to he heard in December.

 Bluff.

Washington Oct. 9. .- Defending. with characteristic vigor, the Ameri- can navy, Admiral George Dewey as serted that not only is our navy not a bluff" but that he is confident that it would give good account of itself ihould war ever come.
 The admiral's remarks were called orth by a statement attributed to ormer Representative Landis of In- liana, who. in recent speech at Gin ;innati, Ohio, on advocating ship sub iidy, Is reported to have said that hose Americans who are informed considered our navy a bluff The expression was characterized by Ad- niral Dewey as an unfortunate" one. Declaring that he saw no war clouds gathering on the horizon. Adimral Dewey discussed several phases of the navy. He expressed himself as heart fly in favor of ship subsidy legislation and made strong plea for the con tinued upbuilding of the navy.

or two firms or else go all over town peddling out all they can and then want some dealer to take what is left and store it. after all the con- sumers have been supplied. If the farmers want to sell to the dealers they ought to keep away from the dealers customers. The particular grocer was speaking to said that several grocers had been to him for potatoes about the time that the farmer was hauling his potatoes home. Several stores had orders for those potatoes that the farmer had, but they couldn't fill them on account of Shortage" of potatoes. So both the farmer and the mer- chant lost money.
 This must not happen very often if we want Polk county and Mena to prosper.
 The natural purchaser of the farmers products is the dealer, and the farmer should see that he sells to him, for as soon as he tries to sell to both dealer and consumer there's bound to be trouble. My advice is "get together" and work in harmo- nv. striving at all times to better the in Polk county and Mena, bettering the condition of and all dependent on you

 ''If the farmers of the state. who are the real losers because of bad roads, could visit the East and see what can be done in road building they would such strength that a nice appropria- ton would be made to start the work on their own roads.
 And these remarks of the secre- tary of the Arkansas Farmers Union move us to repeat what we said in these columns several days ago:
 There is one improvement we should like to see in Mir. Yoakum's plan of taking two farmers from Arkansas on a good roads periegesis. That is, we should like to see him take 200, GOO farmers from Arkansas to look at states. Within a few years after tf1tAt LVVsVOb idIthItS ittAb htN from their trip, Arkansas would be covered with good roads.
 We repeat, if all the farmers---or half the farmers---of Arkansas could see the good roads of other states these farmers would come home resolved to have fine highways the length and breadth of Arkansas, and sthe farmers would have the highways. too.
