almost insurmountable obstacle for
the dredging engineers to ovorcom,.
For a distance of about one-thi!rl of a
mile the center line of the canal has
been shifted nearly $50 feet west Of

1t is believed that the SHIFT will
make the canal easier to naviga:e he

easier turn resulting at this point
The shift was decided upon when it
was seen that the large mass of hard
rock on the east bank OF the canal
showed a tendency to remain station

remove it might cause the entire mass

But Baron Takahashi declared that
while he doubted the ability of the
present ministry. he affirmed that the
loyalty OF Japan to Great Britain and
the Anglo-Japanese alliance is as fixed
as any great principle Of the nation.
Therefore the agitation need not cause
Japan's friends a moments uneasiness.
He was convinced that the leading men
OF Japan-the men OF all classes. oc-
cupation and political leanings are in
sympathy with Great Britain and the

show the whole people to be in per-

PEKING, April 13.-Plans have been
perfected by Yuan Shi-kai's govern
ment for the fotation Of six per cent
domestic loan. Bonds are to be issued
redeemable within three years. and
secured by public utilities. The exact
amount which the government will try
to raise has not been announced, but
officials expect it to reach $50, 900, 900
Mexican.
The announcement of this loan came
somewhat Unexpectedly. The Tsane
Cheng Yuan, or state council, acting
as parliament under the direction OF
Yuan Shi-kai, had been adjourned pre-
sumably for all time. However, It was
reconvened on March I. and authorized
the domestic loan which was presented
to the members Of the acting parlia-
ment in speech by LANG Shih-yi.
Papers unfriendly to the Yuan Shi-
kai regime are expressing doubt as
to the reception the new loan will
meet at the hands OF investors. but
the government expresses full conf.
dence in its ability to place a large
quantity OF the bonds.

Ailsa Page Brings $500
Senator Hubble Sells Crack Roadster
Mare to McCray Bros.

Ailsa Page, the crack roadster
mare with which Senator r. l.. Hub
bic has been cleaning up the fair
rings in this part of the state this
season, was sold by her owner to
McCray Bros, of North Middleton,
Bourbon county Saturday for $500.
Her new owners will take Ailsa Page
to the State Fair next week, and
show her in the big 1000 roadster
ring on Tuesday night. They have
had an entry paid for in the big
stake for some time but had no ami
NAL to enter. After seeing this mare
perform at several fairs, they de-
cided to buy her, and paid a nice
price for her but all who had seen
her work, say she is worth it. The
mare has proven very profitable
investment for Senator Hubble, who
bought her a year or so ago from
Sterling Curtis for about $500. She
won over $500 on the fair circuit
this season. The competition she will
meet at Louisville will be very keen,
but she looks to have grand chance
to COP a big part of the money.

Lincoln Kentucky,
PRESIDENT AT HODCENVILLE

Notwithstanding the fact that
Lincoln county's two official dele
gates, George d. Florence and S. M.
Saufley, were both prevented by
illness from attending the Lincoln Day
ceremonies at Hodgenville Monday,
scores went from this county, most
going through in autoes to see the
President and witness the ceremonies.
President Wilson, on behalf of the
nation, accepted the farm near
Hodgenville, KY, where Abraham
Lincoln was born, the Memorial
Hall that shelters the historic log
cabin and the maintenance fund of
$4,000 to conserve the property as
a national shrine. His address was a
panegyric upon Lincoln and a tribute
to his great Americanism, with elo-
quent counsel for a continuance of
the spirit Of democracy in which he
said: 'Here we may forever keep
alive the vestal fires of democracy as
upon a shrine at which some of the
deepest and most sacred hopes of
