VIII Confer With Houston OH Re-.
funding Agreement-$475,00o,o 900
In Interest.

Washington, Jan. a.-Lord Chal-
mers. special representative of the
Briti@h Exchequer, is. expected 70
arrive in Washington in few rays
for the purpose of continuing ard con-
sllmmating negotiations for rrfud-
ing the war loans of the United
States to Great Britain.
1t was stated in official circies
yesterday that already the two gov
trnments are in accord upon the
: fundamental proposals and that it
should be a simple matter to arrive
at en- agreement upon such import
ant details as remain to be deter
mined.
Y AS outlined yesterday afternoon
by Treasury officials the general un-
dcrstanding provides for funding the
demand notes Of this Governments
held by Great Britain approx:ma-
ting $4,000. 100000 into long-term
securities at an interest rate cer-
tainlY net less than That being paif
Aby this Government on money which
1T borrowed for the purpose of
loaninc it to the British.
The most important details to be
Arranged at the conferences which
will take place between Lord Chal-
nlers on the one hand, and Secre-
,$tary Houston and his advisers, on
gthe other, are the maturity dates on
fhe obligations to be given and the
!. interest rate. .sl..>s
The British are inclined to stand
{ for 8 far distant date cf maturity.
They would like these obligations tn
he foc Tot less than 20 years ard il
agreeable to the United States for
25 years.
Little difficulty, it was explained
Yesterday, will be experienced in fix
ng the rate of interest This will be
in the enigkborhood of 5 per cent, it
is said. The law makes it obliga-
tory on the part of the Treasury to
fix rate of interest as high as THAI
being: paid on domestic war loans
which runs as high as 3-4 per cent.
Since this Government sees no neces-
sity Of making profit on its British
/ loans. the rate, which VII be pr.
\ sSTosesl will not be much if any, high
: er than the domestic rate.
So far, it appears, the Government
cf the United States has collected no
overdue interest on the British or
any Of the other foreign loans and
an. adjustment of this is another
matter which it will be necessary for
the negotiators to deal with at the
Washington conference.
1t was stated in this connection
Yesterday that the United States
Treasury was ready to engage in
similar negotiations with France,
Italv, Belgium and other European
nations who borrowed money from
America with which to prosecute
the war. So far. however, the mat
Ter has been taken UP only Informally
i with foreign treasures.

States for slightly more than S10,-

making the few rich who are still among us somewhat sad and some of them are disposed to follow the exam pie of a man in Buffalo who in response to notice of an additional assessment sent his shirt to the state income tax bureau at Albany, saying that it was all he had left
 Washington advices continue to in- spire the hope that the excess profits tax will be repealed and the heavier sur taxes reduced, though the Presidents message seems to suggest that he is not in favor of the sales tax that is so gem eraly urged as means of raising the additional revenue required. The Sec retary of the Treasury is expected to announce that $40,000,000 5 per cent federal land bank bonds will be offered for sale through a banking syndicate shortly. As these are entirely tax ex- empt they will doubtless find a ready market.
 The confidence that bankers have in the future is indicated by the prepara- tions that are being made to bring out several other large issues as soon as the British coal strike is settled.
 The steadiness of foreign exchange, especially sterling, when the coal strik e news was most serious, would indicate that the British bankers were not alarmed as to the outcome.
 The financial plight of Cuba, which is serious, has been aggravated by the advance in sugar duties proposed in the emergency tariff bill now before Congress. Montreal advices say that Canadian industry is showing further signs of sound improvement" though there, as in the United States, they have a railroad problem and other troubles, the most important of which is the premium on the American dollar.
 On the whole. however, the business outlook on this continent north of the Rio Grande appears to justify faith in and hope of the future provided we are philosophical in Tightening the burdens that the war has left by accepting them cheerfully.

HERR|CK'S RETURN
 ID PARIS PLEASES
 PEOPLE OF FRANCE
New Ambassador Formerly Served at That Capital and
 Was Competent and Pop ular-Viviani's Friend
By HOLLAND

New York, April 15.--(Special.) ) Myron T. Herricb, who is again to be ambassador from the United States to France, is now in New York pur- posing a sOjourn of two weeks. At least two months must pass, however, before he returns officially to Paris, because as long time as that is nec- essary for him so to arrange his per- sOnal affairs as to make it conven- tent for him to go away presumably to spend several years at Paris.
 Governor Herrick has received while in New York many proofs of the high esteem in which he is held He has been entertained by some of the repre- sentative citizens of New York He was the guest of one of the leading fam flies of New York at the opera and his appearance there was associated with the presence with him in the opera house of the former ambassador from the United States to the court of St. James, MT. Davis, and also of one of Governor Herrick's predecessors as am bassador from the United States to France, Henry W. White
 NEW PRECEDENT
 It is almost without precedent that a citizen of the United States who had served as ambassador from this country to another nation should after his re- trement from that post again after the lapse of several years be chosen as, ann bassador from this country to the same nation.
 Rene Viviani, the French envoy extra ordinary from France, who is now in this country, has spoken with enthus- iasm of the return of Governor Herrick to France This, he stated, is due not only to the very great esteem with which Governor Herricl is held by the French people, but also to the fact that impor- tant matters will come before him for consideration or service, especially in view of the relations which are to be es- tablished between France and the United States.
 One of the gatherings to which Gov ernor Herrck looks forward with much interest, and at which he will be pres ent as distinguished guest, is the an nual banquet to Chauncey M. Depew by

og State, Charles E. Hughes, as a per- feet guarantee for the future peace of the world.
 This oratory was regarded as so im- pressive that it was thought inexpedient that it be repeated to the audience in English. It is, however. to be translated into English hereafter and published.
 The spirit of this gathering is regard ed as we'll reflectng the sentiment and opinion of the American people. That was demonstrated by the sustained ap- plause with which 8 remark made by Frederick R. Coudert was received For MT. Coudert asserted that our allies now know that although the United States is not a member of the League of Ma tions nevertheless we will join our late allies in insisting that Germany meet in full the reparation which is to be de- termined, and that Germany cannot rely upon any sentimental or other assist ance from the United States of kind which might tend to embarrass the al- lies as they approach the determination of the issues with Germany.
 MT. Coudert said that the American people are ratifying the verdict of guilty against Germany, and will tolerate no treason, whether that comes directly from Berlin or is insidiously stimulated by propaganda issued by the agents of Berlin.

ful. Judge Lovett, chairman of the Union Pacific railway, having just re- turned from a trip of inspection to the Pacific coast, says: "I predict that busi- ness will be good after July 1, and con- tinue so throughout the remainder of the year because of the prospects of good crops throughout the country" The senior vice president of the Balti- more and Ohio railroad has issued a circular declaring that it's officials be- lieve that the turn in the tide of busi- ness is near at hand" MT. Frederick A. Rawson president of the Union Trust company of Chicago expresses the opinion that "conditions in the middle west are gradually improving" and the Cleveland Trust company says that the return of activity in the au tomobile, tire and building industries was the outstanding development in the Cleveland district last month"
 As against these encouraging items there is to be put a sharp decline in wheat and other grains, one result of which is that flour is selling in Minne- apolis for $7.90 per barrel, the lowest price touched since 1914. This is dis couraging to the farmers, but it's effect upon the H. c. L. is salutary. The de- cline is attributed chiefly to the prom ising condition of the winter wheat cfop Another price reduct1on that mas reversible significance is the one an- nounced by the Steel Corporation, which has cut it's quotations an average of S7 a ton on nine products. This means cheaper steel, but it may also mean lower wages for the workers.
 quarter in which there is more or less gloom is the shipping trade. There is much unemployed tonnage and freight rates shows a constant tenden- cy to sag.
 The Presidents message, with its af- firmations and implications has been fully discussed in the daily press. Gen. erally speaking, it is regarded as con- structive and encouraging. An an- nouncement that the bureau of internal revenue expects that it will collect an additional revenue of $500, ,000,0 ,000 this year from income tax dodgers" is

AMPLY QUALIFIED

He has upon these occasions made ad- dresses to the club which have been widely read and have been accepted as setting forth true conditions, commer- cial industrial and political, not parti- san, as these prevailed. Depew is ez- pected to deliver at the next meeting of this kind an address of especial impor- tance. He has been giving careful study not only to domestic, industrial, fnanca and transportation conditions, but also to world politics.
 Three years ago this annual gathering was noticeable because of the presence of Joseph H. Choate as one of the guests, it being almost the last public appearance of MT. Choate. His age and that of Depew are the same This year Depew, S years of age, will un- less something unfortunate interyenes, deliver an address which, like the one which he made three years ago, is likely to become traditional. Governor Herrick is glad of the opportunity to be pres ent as a guest at this gathering and again to hear Depew. for whom he has warm admiration.
 FRIENDSHIP OF VIVIAN
 Rene Viviani, as well as Governor Her rick, were glad of the opportunity for personal meeting. They are old friends. Governor Herrick has been quoted as having said that in his opinion, Nivian is the most brilliant, even fascinating, orator of this time. It is the under standing that these two men met after Viviani delivered the address at Car negie hall, although the meeting was purely personal almost confidential.
 That Carnegie hall meeting will long be remembered. Never was there a more distinguished company of listen CTS to a great orator Viviani must have been inspired by the tributes which came to him from the vast number which packed Carnegie hall to it's utmost capacity. AS a whole they were repre- sentative of all that is best in the ln- telectual, financial and educational life of New York.
 Vivanfs address was revelation to many of what the capacity of the real orator is who is thoroughly dominated by his subject and who is master Of his native tongue as well as highly practiced in the true charm of rhetoric. For although his address was delivered do not understand that language were captivated by the exquisite charm of his voice and the perfect grace which char acteriZed his personality. Every one knew, even though the address was not interpreted into English, that he was speaking for France and for the United States, being persuaded that the cordi relations which have always character ized the two countries will be maintained and even increased. He made it clear that he representing France, looked upon the note to Germany by the Secretary

 New York, April 17.-(Special.)- is re- markable and reassuring that the week S developments up to Thursday evening did not cause acute demoralization in the speculative markets, for up to that time the prospect of settling the British coal strike seemed to be poor, and the impending bankruptcy of the American railways was being proclaimed from one end of the United States to the other. The surprising complacency of the stock exchange under the circumstances must be attributed to an abiding faith in the common sense of the English-speaking people on both sides the Atlantic and the corollary belief that a way out of the difficulties which threatened to wreck the financial structure of this country and to work almost a political revolution in Great Britain was sure to be found
 This faith is seemingly Justified, for as this is written, it is announced that to l is being wagered in London against the occurrence of the strike, and that further ''parleys' have been asked for by the labor leaders. Simultaneously
