NEW MINISTER TO CHINA, WHO WILL STUDY MAN- GOING LEISURELY TO PEKIN t CHURIAN CONDITIONS BEFORE TAKING UP WORK. Declares Taft and Knox Win Great Victory in Obtaining for This Country Fourth of Loan, in View of Future Trade. BEVnKLY, Mass.. Aus. E. (Special.) President Taft has arrroved the plan of Charles R. Crane, the new Minister to China, to precede his arrival at Pekln by a personal investigation of the Man churian situation. Minister Crane feels It is in Manchuria that events most likely to Influence the future of China will oc cur. That the President has authorized him to make his way leisurely by way of the TranF-Siberian Railway is taken to Indicate his belief that time devoted to t!e close study of the Manchtirlan ques tion is well spent. Ix-avins New Tork on October 2 Mr. C- ipo will CO to London, spend a day or two in Taris and then go to Moscow. H.t lie will take the Trans-Siberian road for the journey to Pekln but does net expect to arrive at his destination until November. Frequent stops will be r.iad" at important points along the line of the railroad, where Mr. Crane will fa miliarize himself with actual conditions. Through havina taken this course he ex pect" to eo to Pekin with a fair under standing of the conditions In the terri tory in which China and Japan are now bavins some serious disagreements. President Taft and Secretary Knox have gained a distinct success," said Mr. Crane today, -in obtaining a quarter of the Chinese loan for the United States. While its Importance as a financial vic tory mav not be thoroughly appreciated, participation in this loan was of the greatest importance to the Lnited States. Its bearing upon future financial nego tiations will work its chief advantage China is launched upon a period of great development- Just now the question of revenue is an exceedingly important one. Once havins settled tills, she will, pre sumably, embark upon the construction of a navy and a degree of industrial de velopment which will make participation by this country in future loans of the greatest importance."

BOUOfJElEsTilLONE ISLAND IN DISPUTE Italy to Arbitrate Between France and Mexico. FRANCE DESIROUS OF LINK CONSULTS NO ONE ON OREGON APPOINTMENTS. Aims to Control Everything Except Postmasters Chamberlain Has t Nothing to Say. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington. Aug. 2-Senator Bourne nas made up his mind to control . an Federal patronage in Oregon except postmastershlp. These latter appoint ments he will concede to the Kcpresenia- ooK- because the Postofflce Depart ment recognizes the right of the House ,-,Hr to recommend postmasters, ana applies exclusively to them for reeom- ,-Htions. But for this raci. wo or ator would undertake to nil every public office in the state of Oregon. : -i i. .nmu to discussing Impending appointments, however. Senator Bourn is mum. Never does ne give any luna tion of his choice until some appointment is announced by the White House, or until a nomination is sent to the Senate. The two Congressmen from Oregon are always in the dark as to what course the Senator intends to pursue, ana ne ie particular pains to see that no inkling Tt his contempiatea '- Ho )ni aaid. in past dele gation conferences, that it is highly tm- proper to aiscua yvviuw --. ,o. unA now that he baa &a- sumed to take everything Into his own hands, he easily monopolize n information. Senator Bourne ha at no time for mally announced, his abrogation of the . . . i n d rMinpnt madA in the Ola newR'w , last Congress covering control of patron age in Oregon. Me worea unuer mm . Bb Ion? as It enabled him to get men of his choice into good fat post- mastershlps, ana me nnuuio u s. la ment operated to prevent the appoint mentbt men of his choice to other posi tions he went back on its provisions al together. During the past special ses sion he utterly repudiated tha agreement, and never once consulted the House members as to appointments, save when he desired to enter protest against port masters they had recommended. When Representatives Ellis and Haw ley went to see Senator Bourne about the selecting of Census Supervisors they learned that it was his purpose to Ignore them completely in the future in Oiling Federal offices. They were surprised that he had undertaken, contrary to general practice, to name the Census Supervisors. which. In otner states, re uunwueu ty uc Congressional rather than Senatorial patronage. But aside from these posi tions, they learned that it waa the Sen ator's purpose to consult them never, but to carry his recommendations to the White House, have appointments made, and then let those protest who desired to do so. So long as the President assents to tlrls plan of controlling bregon patronage, no one can interfere. If the President nomi nates men recommended by Senator Bourne, those men will be confirmed. Senator Chamberlain, being a Democrat, is entitled to no voice in the making of selections, and his course during the spe cial session showed that ho had no de sire whatever to intense n.u .v.u programme. On the contrary, he will let Bourne do as ne yie-oe- -.m mcnts. Senator Chamberlain U the only man In the Senate entitled, under the rules of courtesy, to enter protest against the confirmation of Bourne's appointees, and auch protest wia never - Country Would ,-se Clipperton Island In Chain of World St i-tions--Bases Claim on Right of Discovery Centuries Ago. WASHINGTON. Aug. 22. Possibil ity of a final decision as to the own ership of Clipperton Island, in the Pa cific Ocean, has aroused considerable interest here . in view of the . expected, completion of the Panama Canal, by 1915. ' t The island is in dispute between France and Mexico. Italy, It was an nounced today, has indicated a will ingness to act as arbitrator. Should the result be favorable to France, It would mean another station in the line of that governments position around the world. The island would afTord an intermediate stopping place for coaling on the bank between the Pacific Coast ports of the United States and the Tahiti Islands. Clipperton Island lies 67 miles south east of the harbor of Acapulco. Mex ico. Apparently it has no reat nat ural ad-antages for a coaling station or a naval base, but such facilities as are there might be developed. France claims the Island, not only on the ground that It was discovered , . . ..nt.in two centuries ago. but also because formal possession of it was taken ty a trencn nv. cer sent out for the purpose in 1858. Mexico has exercised some authority '.1nanv.ota ln1iiatrv nnd fit one over tue ii i' j time ousted an 1 American company from the island, although it does not appear on just wnat ground ner- cou tentlons rest.

KAXSS CI1Y, Mo., 'Aug. 22. Baby Marian Bleakley will remain in charge of the Kansas City police until Wednes day when extradition proceedings will be held In the Jackson County Court.

The order provides that Inspector Boyle shall bring the baby and the pris oners into court Wednesday afternoon. In the interval the police will look after the child. During the afternoon it was a race between the attorneys for the prisoners and the Kansas police to ar rive at headquarters first with official documents to secure control of the ba-by and prisoners.
