TRY|NG TO REACH AGREEMENT
NEGOTIATIONS OF FINANCIERS
REGARDING CHINESE LOAN.
Americans Insist Upon Acceptance
of the Terms of the State
Department.

LONDON, July 1O.-The representatives
Of American bankers now in London will
leave for Paris early next week to make
another effort to reach an agreement
with European financiers for American
participation in the Hankow-Sze-Chuen
railroad loan of $27,5OOO0O.
The greatest reticence is maintained
with respect to the meetings held in Lon
don this week. It is understood, how
ever. that the German and French bank
ers came here under the delusion that
the Americans were prepared to accept
compromise. They found, however,
that the Americans insisted on the ac-
ceptance Of the State Departments: terms,
and the breaking off Of the negotiations
was prevented only at the suggestion,
made by the continental representatives.
tnat they be given time to consult their
respective governments, after which
further meetings would be held In Parls
and Berlin, il necessary.
Although confirma ton is impossible, II
is understood that the English bankers,
who held long consultations with the
Americans before the arrival OF the
French and German bankers and there-
fore were not surprised at the frmness
of the Americans, were prepared to &C
cept Washingtons terms. AT any rate
they have not reported any difficulty to
the foreign office, which they would
doubtless do If the proposals were unac-
ceptable to them.
1t is certain that the Americans will
not recede from their stand taken at the
London meeting. If the Europeans do
not agree to it the State Department at
Washington will be advised that an ar
! rangement among the bankers is impos-
sibe, and if necessary tney will insist
that China shall not sign the loan agree
ment until the American claim Is rec
ognized.
Alleged Break From Roosevelt.
BERLIN. July 1O.-The participation
of the United States in the Chinese rail-
road loan is referred to at length by the
Norddeutsche Allegemeine Zeitung in It's
weekly semi-official article on foreign af-
fairs. 1t says that the successful claim
of the United States to participate in the
loan takes the character Of a we'll con-
sidered step of fundamental significance
for change In that country's interna-
tional policy. 1t quotes long cablegram
from the koelnische Zeitung discussing
the course of the negotiations, and con-
cludes by saying: President Taft thus
for the first time has definitely shown
that his opinion differs from that of
Roosevelt"
