VISITED EUROPE TO NEGOTIATE
Chinese LOAN OF SI5O,O0O,OOO

The first move ne predicts will be
the construction of line Of rail-
way extending for fourteen hundred
miles, connecting Canton and Chung
king. The great southern metropo-
lis of China has two lines serving as
feeders for population estimated at
between ten and twenty million peo-
pie. The Canton-Hankow line, built
by joint American and Belgian capi-
tai ten years ago, is factor in the
transportation problem for this terri
tory, with its teeming millions.
DR.. Sun signed the final papers, au-
thorizing the loan, according to
Rea. The contract provides for
the payment of $70,000,000, the
terms of the agreement being the
closest and most satisfactory ever me-
gctiated by the Chinese The several
European bankers are said to have
agreed to furnish the money at four
per cent commission Pauling & Com
pany, a big British firm of contrac-
tors, are to construct the railway at
and average profit Of seven percent
over the actual cost
Rea takes the stand that while DR..
suns power does not now stand,
the gigantic railway system win re-
main in effect.
Rea is an old friend of General
Funston, and the two had long talk
over incidents in Cuba and the Far
East this morning It was In Cuba
that Rea and General Funston first
met, when the former was with Gen.
eral Maximo Gomez as a newspaper
correspondent, and the latter as an
officer in the Cuban army Later the
friendship was renewed in the ORR

Second Class Passenger L
Under Suspicion as Poppy
Drug Smnggler

A dozen police officials, drawn from
the federal, territorial and city and
county ranks, left the customs launch
at an early hour this morning, and
launch at an early hour this morning,
boarded the Pacific Mali liner Man
chufia in from San Francisco. and inn
Imediately began to get busy among
the fo6f hundred passengers includ-
ed In the several classes, paying more
particular attention to the travellers
occupying accommodation in the Sec
ond class and steerage.
The duties devolying upon these Of
ficers. were not concluded with the
berthing of the Big Manchuria at Ala
ikea wharf. To three officers were as
signed the duty of trailing mysteri-
Gus intermediate passenger, who was
reported to be- due to leave the liner
at this port.
The reason fof> the presence of
these police officials on board the
big liner was the echo of the gigantic
opium ring scandal that recently has
stirred the entire list of coast cities
Their presence followed a request
wirelessed by Captain Andrew Dixon
asning that secret service man be
sent aboard the Manchuria before she
dock
The message was received late last
night by II. Hackfeld & Company, the
local representatives for the liner. AS
no particulars were given, a consider
able air Of mystery surrounded the
movement of squad of uniformed
and plain clothes men who swarmed
up the side of the Manchuria as the
vessel lay at quarantine anchorage
and awaited pratique.
A second-class passenger, who had
purchased a ticket from San Fran
cisco to-, Honolulu was the person
that not only aroused the suspicion of
federal officers on the coast, but also
created a decided stir in local ship
ping circles.
The collector at the port is under
stood to have been informed that a
man whose actions were viewed with
much suspicion boarded the vessel at
San Francisco, believed to be the GUS
todian of a quantity of opium. The
instructions handed out were that the
effects belonging to this passenger be
given a rigid examination when landed
at the wharf.
City and county officers spent an
hour in making their inspection of the

Civic bodies of the city, local Demo
Gratis and members of the Yale alumni

gether for his entertainment. Before
five hours had elapsed after he set

tions had been held in his honor-tthe
first public reception at the execu-

civic bodies. the second Democratic
reception on the roof-garden Of the
Young hotel.
And also within five hours after he
landed here. a committee represent
ing the Yale alumni of the university
club had taken him on an automobile
tour Of the city. He was shown the
view of the island from the Pail, the
beautiful resident districts of the
city. and many sights which brought
from him expressions of delight. And
even more, in that time he was the
guest sof honor at luncheon at the
university club. With Yale men sit
ting around his table, one or two of
whom were former classmates, the
new governor general praised Homo
lulu and the hospitality of its citizens
and his pleasure at meeting them.
This Is Mr.. Harrison's first visit here,
in fact the first time he has been on
the Pacific ocean; the same Is true of
Mrs. Harrison and their four children.
The last feature of the program for
the entertainment Of Mr.. Harrison is

"a close friend and adviser of DR.. Sun,
is returning to Shanghai, where for
years he has been prominently iden-

China.
When Rea reached London he
learned that DR.. Sun had declined to
become a candidate, and that Yuan
Shih Kai had assumed the leadership
oil the party now in control of the .des-
tInies of China. 1t was then that the
possibility of effecting the big loan
was abandoned, to be superseded by
efforts toward raising funds sufficient
to build ten thousand miles of rail-
way through the heart of China.

pans he has had prepared for the ex-
hibit building.
Realizing the enormous benefits
which Hawaii will receive through the

benefits bear to the showing Hawaii
makes at the worlds fair, Hughes
said this morning that the failure Of
the territory TO make an exhibit pre-
senting 10 the best advantage the fea-
lures of the islands would mean in
the end q great loss for Hawaii.
While in San Francisco the tenta-
tive plans for the building we're made

tally, he says that he does not believe
the bill introduced In congress by Del

the territory's exhibit will be passed.
ct consider il doubtful il the bill
will be enacted, said Hughes. Il
think the best, thing we can do is to

raise the money the better. Just now
