Tang's Visit to This Country Was to
Secure Loan.

Washington, Jan. Eft was stated
today, unofficially, but in responsible
quarters, that the amount of. the loan
which Tang Shao vi, the special Chi
nese ambassador, desired to nego-
tiate on his trip for internal improve
ments in China, approxirnated fifty
million dollars. His hopeS it is be-
1ieved, was to negotiate the loan in
this country.
The dismissal of Yuan Shi Kai, the
HChinese grand councillor, and the I'M
certainty attending the future policy
iof China, in both internal and exter-
nal administration, will, it is feared,
render impossible any Roadway along
this line in the short period before
Tang's departure home, following his
recall
The ambassador will have an inter-
view. with President Roosevelt before
starting for Europe. Some of his
suite will accompany him on the re-
turn trip while the remainder will go
home by way of San Francisco.

MUSIC FOR TAFT.
'sHan to the CHER to &c Played but
Once at inaugural.

Washington, Jan. Ell President
elect Taft has q sensitive musical ear
it will not be Jared ON Inaugural ton
day with constant repetition of the
tune Hail to the Chief
Heretofore it has been the custom
for every band, drum corps and other
musical aggregation taking part in
the inaugural procession to strike up
this time-honored air in passing the
presidents reviewing stand. But this
will be tabooed at the forthcoming in
euguration Instead the musical sa-
lutte will be played but once and then
by the band first passing in front of
the president.
This advance step taken by General
Bell, grand marshal of the inaugural
parade, will afford Mr.. Taft a more
varied musical program than his pre-
decessors have enjoyed. At the same
time this will eliminate a heretofore
monotonous feature OF inaugural pa
rades
In line with this policy to free the
musical program of repetitions, it has
been decided to restrict the playing
OF that popular air Maryland, my
Maryland" to the band leading the
Maryland troops. 1t will be the aim
of the committee having charge of the
musical program to limit the number
of bands participating. thereby elm
mating the medley of discordant notes

a ride which a party of young men

ing down a steep hill at fast clip.
The car dashed into a fence at the
roadside and turned over. Mr.. Gilman
was a brother of Lawrence Gilman,
the we'll known author and musical
critic and a relative of the late Daniel
Y Gilman, head of the Carnegie

New York, Jam. 9.=Among the
many Interesting and picturesque
statements made by Rear Admiral
Robley d. Evans, in his talk at Car
negie hall under the auspices of the
navy league was one concerning the
conversation with President Roosevelt
just before the departure of the Allan

cording to Admiral Evans, .sremem-

ton, but if it should turn out other
wise, you know your position
During his praise of the skill of the

he said, was unofficial; but he I'M

ships had fired a 12-inch gun 15 times
at a target~five miles away. there were

Japan so far as the possibility of war

this point he said.
''I never thought for minute that
there was the slightest probability of
war with Japan. They want the
friendship of every nation-sunder the
that goes scratching around Hp in the
northwest corner of the world. The
president was right to- send the feet

One Road Takes Independent Action
or Exposition Traffic.

Chicago, Jan. 9.-,Ehe Inter- Ocean
today prints this following news ar
ticIe:
A warm fight among the western
railroads over the rates, to the Alaska
Yukon exposition, which will be held
at Seattle this year, has been started
by the Burlington road which has an
nounced a rate of sixty-cwo dollars for
the round trip from Chicago
The other roads had been waiting
for a general agreement to be made
among the lines of the Trans-Contin-
entail passenger association as to what
the rate should be- Although there is
no legal reason why the Burlington
should not act Independently, its ac-
ton is entirely contrary to the rule
customarily taken.
1.-THE slowness of the other roads in
reaching an agreement on the rate
caused us to issue the announcement"
said representative of the Burling-
ton. in explanation.
Representatives of other roads de-
cIared that if the Burlington purposes
taking independent action before rate
matters have been considered by the
association it would mean a serious
break in the heretofore harmonious
relations existing between the western
roads

W Pay Duty on Costume.

New York, Jan. 9.-On top of Oscar
Hammerstein's financial troubles in
Philadelphia comes additional difficult
ties here through dispute between
some of Mr.. Hammerstein's grand opera
singers and the United States customs
authorities. 1t is asserted by customs
officers that several of the singers have
failed to pay duty on imported costumes
and that drastic action will be taken
unless the money is forthcoming. The
amount owed is said to be in the neigh
borhood of $1,000, but as the costumes
are in the possession of the singers they
stoutly maintain that neither will they
pay, nor give them up This stand has
been taken in spite of urging on the
part of Mr.. Hammerstein that the duty
be paid. s4
Doria, one of Mr. Hammerstein's
principal contraltos. declared that she
would go to Jail rather than pay.
IT consider it an outrage" said Nine.
Doria. "I have worn all my costumes
and after they had passed the custom
house and into my possession, get
bill for $780, I told the inspector only
yesterday that 1 would go to jail rather
than pay such an unjust tax. He gave
me until today to pay and told me that
if I did not pay then he would take
me to the Tombs. But shall never
nav.

projects may be in shape to be. con-
sidered in connection with general
rivers and harborS bill when such
measure is to be prepared.

TAFTS QUIT CHURCH.
Objected to Pastors Criticism on the
President-eIect.

Chicago, Jan. 9.-The Record-Her-
aid today prints the following news
article under a Cincinnati date: --A
The resignation of Charles p Taft,
brother. OF. the president-elect, from
the board of trustees of the Church of
the Covenant, Presbyterian, has been
accepted at a meeting of the trustees.
Mr. Taft also asked to be released as
one of those guaranteeing the salary of
the pastor, Robert L. Watson.
The action of Mr. Taft was the out
growth of an arrangement between
himself and DR.. Watson, which has its
origin in a personal letter written to
a Chicago minister by DR.. Watson
some time before the presidential cleo
ton, in which the latter expressed re-
greet at the liberal religious views of
William H Taft. A copy of the letter
was sent by a Chicago man to Charles
P. Taft. A month ago Mrs. Charles
P. Taft withdrew her letter from the
church.
Mr.. Taft's letter followed. but was
not acted upon until the meeting of
trustees.

NO MORE ENCORES.
Ban on Applause and Flowers at the
Metropolitan.

New York, Jan. 9.-No encores are
to be permitted at the Metropolitan
opera house hereafter, according to an
announcement made by one of the
managers. 1t is also strongly suggest
ed that the custom of handing flowers
to the singers during the intermission
is to be forbidden. This may be fol-
lowed by a rule prohibiting the pre-
sentation of flowers to singers alto
gether, while they are in the opera
house. The ban on encores is a re-
suit of occurrences of Thursday night
when Signor Bonci was applauded SO
long and persistently that the perform
ance was seriously interrupted.

OLD THEATER SITE SOLD.
The House Was Patronized by WASH
ington and Adams.

New York, Jan. Cone of the most
noted historical sites in this state, that
of the old John street theater, has
been sold for 100000. George Wash
ington and John Adams were among
its patrons. Opened on December Z,
1867, the theater ran successfully un-
til closed just before the Revolution
at the time when Lord Howe and Sir
Henry Clinton of the British forces
occupied the city. A short time later
it was reopened by these British Off
GERS under the title of the Tneater
Royal. Again in 1855 it came under
American management. That the art
OF the press agent was not unknown
even in Colonial times is indicated by
an announcement issued at that time
saying that the place chad been at
vast expense, reprinted. beautified and
Illuminated in a style to vie with Euro
pean spIendOr."
Performances in the olden day be-
gan at 8 o'clock sharp and it was
necessary for patrons to send their
servants to the theater by o'clock in
the afternoon in order to reserve their
seats. The old playhouse closed
about 1898 and was later used as a
factory. The present site consists of
an alleyway and a lot so by 10 feet.
Nothing remains to suggest the char
acter of the building in times gone by.

UPSET THE MARKET.
A Number of Events rendered to I'm
settle Prices.

New York, Jan. 9.-Decisive fac
tors in upsetting the stock market this
week were the decision against the
Consolidated Gas company in the
eighty cent gas law and the dis
appointment over the non-appearance
of E. H. Hartman in the New York
Central directorate. Fears of other
speculative disappointments were
thus engendered. Hearings in gov
eminent suits against corporations
and legislative motions revived I'M
easiness over hostility to corporations.
The increasing surplus of idle
freight cars be1ied the hopes of con-
tinuing expansion in freight traffic.
There was a heavy reflux of money to
banking reserves and new bond offer
ings were greatly facilitated, but the
new demand for existing stocks failed
to equal the offerings.

John Marshall. assistant attorney

Cherokee and Crawford counties,
those strongholds of the jointists in the
southeast part of the state, and says
that he found there a most encour-
aging state of affairs. The jointists
have seen the handwriting on the wall
and have given up the fight.
What is more significant is the fact
that their lawyers have also yielded to
the inevitable. and the result is that
the violators of the prohibitory law

one more chance for his liberty. 1t is
not believed that one of these injunc-
tons will be violated.
The large number of foreigners en-
pIoyed ia the mines of Cherokee and
the railroad shops of Crawford county
made it q hard matter to enforce the
prohibitory law in that section OF the
state.
