CHINA Rejects LOAN
Wall Street Thinks, However,
She Will Ultimately Accept.

icy Transatlantic Wireless TO The Trlbunel
London. June 26.-The Chinese loan sit
uation is being discussed here by the
bankers concerned, in view Of the au-
thoritative reports from China that her
advisory council Is unlikely TO accept the
conditions Of foreign supervision of her
expenditures. 1t is not expected that
they will see their way to consent TO any
weakening ( the safeguards demanded.
Washington, June China has rejected
the $500 900 900 loan from the banking group
Of the six powers. probably because Of the
stipulation for foreign supervision Of its
expenditure. The proposal for foreign ad-
ministration Of the salt monopoly also has
been declined. Four members of Tang
Shao-yrs Cabinet have offered their resig-
nation.
These 40 does were received to-day by the
State Department
Local bankers interested in the negoua-
tions which have been in progress in Paris
were disposed yesterday TO believe that the
rejection by the Chinese government Of the
$500. OD0O 600 loan from the six powers need
not be regarded as final. but that after fur
ther negotiation the terms offered by the
banking syndicate would be accepted by
that government especially as il could
find nowhere else the vast amount needed.

FOR A SINGLE LONGER TERM.

From The New York Herald.
The Tribune very wisely argues that II the
Presidential term were extended by constitu-
tional amendment to six or eight years. with the
provision that no President would be eligible for
a second term. the country would be spared the
disgusting struggle which was precipitated at
Chicago. We will 20 further than this In speak
ing II the benefits TO be derived. such an
amendment to the Constitution would be the
means Of saving the country from civil war. be-
cause sooner or later some ambitious and IN
scrupulous man would bring about resort to
free 10 continue his despotic power.
IL is impossible for this government Ia be in
sured OF stability so long as II Is upset AT the
end of each four years BY q scramble for re-
nominations and reelection We agree with
The Tribune that the term should be extended,
bur do not agree with the amendment now pend
ing in the Senate which would make the term
ak years. We think the term should be eight
years. -.----. 90 1880 $780,. .--

SEEN AT THE FIFTH AVENUE
Bessie Clifford and Victor Nor
lev Get Things Over"

Proctors Fifth Avenue Theatre this week
has coralled two Of the leading players OF
the musical pieces Three Twins" and
The Never Homes" They are Bessie
Clifford, the tireless dancer, and Victor
Morley, the quiet comedian
These two have an unusually nice idea of
what to do in vaudeville, although they are
quite new to the two-a-day. They wander
about from one thing to another without
bringing their act under the head Of any
one of the definite kinds Of entertainment
familiar to the variety programme
First. they come out and sing to-
gether. stepping their way through their
Rosy" song I'm a dancy way. Then MISS
Clifford disappears. while the scene changes
and leaves Mr. Morley amidst new sur
roundngs to recite some comedy lines
that seem about 10 dissolve i'm song at
any moment At the ending of this the
lights change and Bessie clifford runs IN
in dancing costume, asks for KISS
gets an unsatisfactory one and demands
another. Her partner, IN fright at her
manner reaches for a magic magntylnS
glass and proceeds to hewitch her into sUb-
mission to his will. This hypnotlsm scene
Is danced by both amid green tinged rays
Of light II is virtually pantomime dance
The next diversion is melodrama
acted by Mr.. Morley and the orchestra
the former giving words and action and
the latter rejecting emotional effects.
The Clifford Morley entertainers bring
their Offering to close with fury
dance which fully exhibits the elasticity
and energy of Miss Clifford.
The whole idea IS diverse and pleasing
and savoring as IT docs OF the impromptu'
has flavor
There are number of other partcu-
larly interesting features on the Fifth
Avenue bill for this week besides these
