Mayor Gaynor added another To his
Whimsical letters on sundry topics yes
tcrday, when he penned missive on
grasshoppers and broom corn to II. ~.
Henderson, OF Yelton, Okla. The letter
reads:
Your letter Of November 4, asking me
TO assure the broom manufacturers that
the gTasshoppers did not eat up the broom
corn crop I'm oklahoma, as is reported in
the newspapers, is at hand. do not
know why the grasshoppers should eat
M the broom corn crop when there are
SO many other things much more juicy
and satisfactory to their palates. / am,
therefore, quite ready To believe you. and
shall pass the word around among the
broom manufacturers II / can.
Perhaps the newspapers VIII do H., al
though Ii Is very hard to get some OF them
20 contradict their own stories. II de-
tracts from the notion Of their infallibility.
However, We have some newspapers here
that are Just as ready to contradict them
selves as To contradict anybody else.
They daily contradict in the morning
hat they say I'm the evening, and in the
evening what they say In the morning.

A. Wendell Jackson, the erstwhile SUI

day school. who got much in the lime
light this fall because he negotiated the
new Chinese loan In 100000 of good
English money. while New York finan-

said last night to a Tribune reporter. In
the perpetuity of the young provisional
republic Mr.. Jackson has steadfast faith,
he says.
MIR. Jackson is an unassuming American
who was formerly professor Of mineral

has spent a good part of his three-score
years digging gold out of Manchurian
mines. Since last June he has been In
China when he wasn't sitting around in
luxurious London clubrooms.
But, as he said last night he hasn't
been out Of touch with affairs at home.
He thinks Irrsident-elect Wilson a
wise, conservative man. and ven,ured the
opinion that he would make us good
President. The country. according TO Mr..
Jackson, is on the eve Of period OF
great prosperity, due to Jumper crops.

dent of a similar temporary permit issued
by my predecessor in 1911 to the lnterna-
tional Mercantile Marine Company, on lne
opposite side of the river, after an appiit
cation for n permanent extension at Ild'
point had been denied.
] am Of the opinion that such no tempo
rary action should be taken. The queStloil
OF further narrowing the Hudson River
at this point is far too important maj

will have the responsibility of finallty.
Such consideration is now being given 10
the matter by the Harbor Line Board
and by two state commissions, appolnteu
by the states of New Jersey and New
York, respectively. The construction OF
further encroachments into the fairway
at this time, even II they be designated as
temporary, cannot but tend TO foreclose
such fair and impartial decision
Hits at EFFICIENCY Plea.
A study Of the successive encroachments

present instance, by the growth In the
size of the vessels visiting the port IN

the City of New York, has throughout tue
mast permitted its piers TO be built fuTther

manner as TO make further and turther
encroachments upon the naVlgaDle water.
Ii seems to me that the limit or sucn

the City Of New York must deliberately
set itself to the adoption OF system vi
harbor terminals which will be sufnclent
for the future. / am also satiS1eui aIse J

that i'm the present instance no suCh IN

temporary use of other piers, even by the
proposed larger vessels without encroach-

tary remit these applications to the
New York Harbor Line Board, with
directions to reconsider the matter
with view to its permanent decision
and with instructions that no recon-
mendations for temporary encroach-
ments beyond the established pier head
line will be entertained by me; notice
will also be served upon the lnternd~
tional Mercantile Marine Company that
the question OF the continuance of IS
temporary extensions under the permits
of March 10, 1911. will be considered
at the same time by the aforesaid
board in order that the entire subject
may receive harmonious and consistent
treatment. / shall be glad also to hava
the authorities of the City of New York
and of the State of New Jersey, having
in charge the matter Of harbor ter

Expect Tariff to Come Down.

'In England II has been received with
some pleasure" he replied, with rather a
mischievous twinkle. chiefly. no doubt,
because of the fact that the British have
had little or no sympathy with the con-
tinuous high tariffs Of the Republicans.
They look, OF course, for better trade
agreements now, as they do in Germany
The country has nothing to fear from a
careful downward revision Of our tariff. -

Apropos OF the effect Of the Bulgarian
war on the United States. Mr.. Jackson
said complications had appreciably de-

said, the war was likely to enhance tire

China is wholly outside the situation, and
she is likely TO remain So"
Mr.. Jackson smiled dryly when he was
told that New York financiers regarded
him as a man Of mystery, and were lodth

SIC. 200. 900 loan were at all successful
There was no mystery about it, re

Chinese were unwilling to accept. ! knew
those conditions were unjust, and ! knew
that loan could be made and salts

offensive conditions. That's all there was
TO II. The popular feeling In China was
strong against the six nations group
and. in fact, had the provisional govern
ment acceded TO their proposals. serious
disturbances would have followed"
Mr.. jackson said he dealt with the
Chinese Minister OF Finance, just az he
would have dealt with England or Ger
many. 81 was convinced" he said, that
the Chinese government would handle the
proceeds with a due sense of the respon-
sibility as to the proper use OF the money.
and, the security being excellent, the mat

He spoke guardedly about the feeling
that now exists In England, Germany and
France as a result OF the loan, but he
would not go into details. China, he said,
was perfectly satisfied, and, h. added he
had no trouble In convincing Birch, Crisp
a. Co, OF London, 20 enter into the loan.
Regarding the prospect OF tarif tinker

nothing to fear. Asked how the return
of Democracy to the control Of the United
States government was regarded abroad,
Mr.. Jackson smiled.
