COMMISSION REFUSlS
 RAILROADS REQUEST
Conference Monday Brief and Pointed - Railroads Asked Commission Net to Bring Suit and Refuse Concessions.

The conference Monday between representatives of the trunk line railroads and the Arkansas Railroad Commission was brief and pointed.
 The railroad representatives asked that the commission agree not to bring any more suits for violation of the commission tariff No. 5, pending the determination of the suit appealed from the Lee circuit court.
 The commission refused to do SO. and asked the railroads to desist from enforcing their tariff. This the rail roads f1atly refused to do, saying they would continue to use their own tariff, and would make no concessions.
 The commission then announced that it would bring suits wherever it got information of a violation of tariff No. 5.

BIG LOAN PLANNED
 FOR GREAT BRITAIN
American Capitalists Will Un- dertake to Finance Loan of Quarter Billion Dollars in the United States in Near Future.

New York, Oct. 16.-A new S25O,- 100000 British loan will be floated in this country within the next few weeks, it was learned today from a man closely associated with the nego- tiations. The loan will be a direct obligation of the British government and probably will be officially an- nounced shortly before or after cleo tion.
 The preliminary negotiations be- tween the bankers in this country in connection with the loan have been practically completed and the plan is now understood to await only official approval by the British government. The fact that election is so close at hand may tend to delay the official announcement, but it was denied to- day that this would have any effect on the credit.
 The terms of the new credit will be practically the same as in the last $250, 100000 British loan, which was fioated in August. It will be backed by American securities and other for eign securities. The present loan in- terest rate and the price at which it will be offered to the public, it is un- derstood, will be similar to that of
 
 the last British loan. That loan bore interest at the rate of 5 per cent. It was offered for subscription at 99 and underwritten at 98. The yield on that loan was little better than 1-2 per cent.

Washington, Oct. 16.-State depart
 o@c;als intimated strongly to- a,,t ,ss that this government will not per (, ss, VI the answer of the allies to tne ai' .;.on nrotest against censorship 4 < tbe mails to become a dangerous i;rlomatic ii question. It was stated As M whole matter could be arranged sa' a.' dnlomacy in one or three ways. ~ ~. mos to make answer in another O. .., demanding concessions categori- cslly. Another was to endeavor to ssr. w Secretary of State Lansing and Sir Cecil Spring Rice, the British am bassador, reach an agreement. The ,b;rd suggestion would be arbitration f m agreement could be had on the main points in this case.
 Secretary Lansing today declined to answer any questions concerning ,be intimation in the British reply that he had conceded the right of the allies to examine frst-class mail for ,optraband. The British note refers to a communication received from the country subsequent to the American note of May 24. It may be in this later communication that the alleged concession was made. The communi- cation has never been made public by the state department.
 The British reply to the American protest against the black list was ex- pected to arrive here today or tomor- TOW. It is now reported the reply will not be presented within a week or ten days. It has been stated that the American reply on the mails will not be formulated until the note on the Hack list has been received. The con- ditiOns therefore appear to suggest that action on both issues will be de- layed until safely after election.
