CHINA MAY LOSE
S50,000,00O LOAN

PICKING, December i5.-The GOV.
eminent has not yet come to terms
with the American syndicate over the
proposed loan of $4,000 600 to be used
by China in furthering currency re-
forms and other interests of the en-
plre. The final difficulty appears to
be over the appointment of financial
adviser to China who will be in po-
sition to influence the expenditures.
When the tentative agreement for the
loan was made the Chinese evidently
assumed that the adviser would be a
figurehead. Now, however, they are
unwilling TO proceed on this assump-
ton. Willard Straight, the represen-
tative of the syndicate, has endeavor-
ed to dissipate the governments un-
easiness on this point.
There is no doubt that some sus.
picion was aroused by the alliance of
the Americans with European banking
groups and by Mr.. Straight's proposal
that in the future the English, Ger
man and French financiers be permit
ted to participate in the Chinese loan.
The imperial assembly is support
ing the government in it's attitude,
The delegates chief fear is of inter-
national influence upon the govern
ment as a consequence of financial
agreements. The government prob
! ably could obtain smaller and uncon-
trolled loans, though on less advan-
| tageous terms. In fact several agents
and bankers not participating in the
American syndicate are here and it is
believed that they have already OPEN
ed negotiations.
The diplomats in Picking appear to
be of the opinion that piecemeal loans
will avail for some months, after
which a recourse to serious loans will
be unavoidable. The newspapers
, significantly publish the new plan for
currency reforms on a silver basis,
bringing out the fact that the plan re-
quires for it's accomplishment only
, $1O,OOO,0OO.

OLD INHABITANT GONE.

An interesting character in the per-
son of John Kapuniai passed away at
his home in Kealia on Wednesday
night. His exact age is uncertain,
but it is known that he was consider
ably over ninety. His tales of old
monarchial days and of youthful
sailing ship voyages were many and
entertaining. He had been for many
years retainer In the family OF
Mrs. Fairchild Garden Island.

Mr.. VIM Mewlun and Don Jarvis,
formerly of Chewelah, Washington,
are the first to take up homesteads at
Kapahi. They arrived a week ago
and are camping on one of the home
steads selected by them, near the

careful examination of all the

that Kauai had the best to Offer

SCARLET FEVER
WAS EXPECTED

DR. Pratt the acting President Of
the Board of Health yesterday morn
ing returned from Maui, where he had
made a hurried inspection of the
camps, etc, that had been established
there in connection with the outbreaks
of diphtheria, scarlet fever and vario-
loids.
As a result of these outbreaks, some
decided improvements will be made.
The new features will be of a nature,
it is confidently predicted, that will
prevent a recurrence of further cpl
denies.
Dr. Pratt found matters progressing
so satisfactorily that he anticipates
that within about a week the restric-
tions that have been imposed, will be
removed. DR.. Pratt had reported to
him chat there had been sixteen cases
of scarlet fever, and twenty-three of
smallpox. 1t is fully believed thai
the whole three epidemics are under
control. The Board expected that
/ the scarlet fever epidemic would fol
low the diphtheria cases. It always
does, but so far medical science has
not been able to trace the relationship
between the two.
A systematic inspection of Maui is
to take place, and this is expected to
have good results.

Leonard Wood chief of staff, before
the house committee on expenditures
in the war department.
The posts to be abandoned are the

the first step in the policy leading
ultimately to the concentration of the
army in few large posts located on

While the order is expected during
the present summe., the abandonment
of posts will not occur until troops

Union Pacific with the Southern Pa
