CHINA HOLDING OUT
IlreaKs Off Negotiations Regard'
Ing Exclusion,
ASKS FOR MORE LIBERAL TERMS
Objects to tho Restriction Placed on
Merchants, Travelers and Stu
dents Now Admitted.
Washington, April 27. Negotia
tions between tho United States and
China for a treaty restricting tho im
migration ol Chinese to this country
havo practically been abandoned. It
lias been found impossible, by the rep
resentatives of the two governments to
reach a common ground of agreement.
Tho whole subject, therefore, is being
held in abeyance until W. W. Hock
hill, tho recenty appointed minister of
tho United States to China, shall ar
rlvo in l'ckin. It is expected that ho
will take up tho matter directly with
the Chlneso government.
When Wu Ting Fang was minister of
China to this capital, he made an ex
haustive study of tho Chinese immigra
tion question, ascertaining very pre
cisely, among other things, tho Ameri
can point of view. He maintained con
sistently tho injustice of the restric
tions thrown by this government
around tho immigration of Chinese, but
was unable to accomplish anything in
tho way of lowering the barriers dur
ing his ro jour n here. In China he is
now in a position to make it difficult,
it not absolutely impossible, to nego
tiate a treaty unless the convention
shall have incorporated in it certain
provisions for which the Chinese gov
ernment contends.
China is anxious to obtain in the
proposed treaty liberal definitions of
tho terms "merchants," "travelers,"
and "students," in order to relieve
such classes ot embarrassment on their
arrival in the United State.
DEAL WITH LOOMIS.
Assistant Secretary of State's Con
nection with Proposed Loan.
Columbus, O., April 27. President
C.F.Mayer, of the First National bank
of Columbus, this afternoon told the
story of the Venezuelan loan features
of tho charge against Assistant Secre
tary of State Loomis. Mr. Mayer is
president of a syndicate which has for
some time been negotiating with Vene
zuela for floating the 136,000.000 loan,
that French, German, English and
other loans might be taken up.
Ms. Mayer says negotiations were
made with Mr. Loomis, when minister
to Venezuela, to act as the representa
tive of this syndicate, but he raid Mr.
Loomis intended to resign as minister
to Venezuela on accepting employment
with th syndicate. The syndicate
was to receive a profit of $7 000,000
net for floating the loan ami was to
have tho receipts of the Venezuelan
ports as security for its commission.
SEND-OFF FOR EMIGRANTS.
Englishmen Sail for America with the
Salvation Flag at the Masthead.
Liverpool, April 27. English emi
grants to the number of 1,046 sailed
for Canada this evening on board the
Dominion line steamer Vancouver,
with the Salvation Army flag at the
masthead. Tiie emigrants were gath
ered by Salvation Army officers and
many are workmen. All are paying
their own passage, and many are sup
plied with sufficient cash to make a
start in tho new world.
Prior to the sailing, the Lord Mayor
of Liverpool, Itider Haggard, who has
just arrived from America, Commander
Booth Tucker and Mrs. Bramwell
Booth addressed the emigrants from
the bridge. The lord mayor regretted
that England was sending her best
brawn, and muscle to work in a new
country, and at the same time opening
the doors for less desirable emigrants.
German Engineer is Named.
Washington, April 27. The German
government has designated Mr. Lincan
za as the German member of the ltoard

mian canal. Mr. Liucanza im rani to

try of public works, and is one of the
leading civil engineers of Germany.
Tiie compensation of those consulting

of expert talont required. It is pro
posed to increase the membership.

Russians Cut Cable.
Hong Kong, April 27. It is an
nounced here that the cable to Hainan
is cut and it is suspected thut it is the
work of oithor KoJestvensky'a fleet or
of some secret Russian agency. Tins
announcement lmtt greatly incensed the
British residents of Hong Kong, who
openly declare that, if continued
breaches of neutrality are to he per
mitted on the part of tho Hussiun Bal

Britain to interfere.
A Bargain-Hunters' Day,

WILL CUT THE HUNT SHORT
ProslUent Decidos to Return and At
tend to Urgent Business.
Glenwood Springs, Colo., April 28.
President Roosevelt will break camp
on Mny 8, a week earlier than ho in
tended, and will start for Washington
at once. The only stops he will make
are at Denver and Chicago, where dates
tor his reception have been advanced to
meet the new arrangement.
Secretary Loeb came from tho camp
early today, where ho conferred with
the president nil of yesterday. He an
nounced upon reaching here that affairs
in Washington made it necessary that
the president curtail his trip.
That there Is nothing alarming in the
situation is manifested from the fact
that the hunt will be continued ten
da) s more, in spite ot tho condition of
affairs which resulted In the altered
plans. The Vencutelan situation, it is
believed here, resulted in the order to
start home on May S.
Tho party will leave Glenwood
Springs at about 4 o'clock on May 8,
reaching Denver the same evening.
After the banquet there the party will
spend the night on the trnin, which
will leave Denver over the Union Paci
fic at about 7 a. m. on May D.
Tiiere is much speculation here as to
the president's reasons tor advancing
the time of his departure from Colo
rado. Mr. Loeb announces that there
is no pressing business that requires
the presdent's ntteutiion, but there are
a number of tilings coming up about
the middle of the month in which he is
greatly interested. What these are the
secretary would not say. It was said
also that there is nothing in tho Vene
zuelan or Dominican situations that
cannot be attended toby Secretary Taft.
HER GUNS ARE A FAILURE.
British Navy In Very Poor Condition
for Battle.
London, April 23 The Daily Graph
ic this morning commences a serine of
articles calling in question the dura
tion of the armament of a modern Brit
ish fleet in a manner which, it the facts
should be substantiated, is calculated
to eause a great sensation. Tiie writer
alleges that 15 warships unlit tor ac
tion have been discovered, as the 36
calibre 12-inch guns constituting the
main armament of three vessels are in
capable of firing full charges. The
latest Woolwich pattern 60-cnllbre six
inch gun has also failed under experi
ment, and the question naturally arises
as to the endurance of the armament
of the whole modern fleet. The article
states facts unfortunately beyond dis
pute, and points out that the present
is the time for action and not for
blame.
The fact; came to light through de
velopments of weakness in new long
guns under experiment and the simul
taneous failure of the 12-inch guns in
the Majestic class of battleshij) ami
through the bursting of shells in seven
out of 10 British made guns on board
if Japanese battleships.
The writer points out further tlwt
Great Britain is the only power that
has adopted tho manufacture of the
wire guns.
FLOODS EAST OF ROCKIES.
Warm Weather Causes High Water

Denver, April 2a. Tiie warm weath
er of the )MMt two days lias melted the
snow in the mountains, and all rivers
on the eastern slope of the Rockies are
very high, borne damage is resulting
in places not heretofore retorted, ami
conditions in Southern Colorado are
still threatening.
Prominent sheepmen from Northern
New Mexico, who arrived at Albu
querque today, ray that rejwrts of
losses to sheepmen as a consequence of
the recent storm are greatly exaxgei-
ated. Some Iambi perished, they say.
hut on the whole sheep in the section
referred to were never in better condi
tion. The benefit to tiie range brought
by the moisture will greatly exceed any
losses in livestock, they declare.
In Colorado, retorts indicate that
the damage to the livestock industry
was considerable.
After Get-Rlch-Qulck Men.
Kansas City, Mo., April 28. II. M.
Loeb, treasurer of the American Se
curity Contest eomjmny, was arrested
today on a warrant iesued by Judge
Smith McPherson, in the United States
District court. Tiie Federal grand jury
liad returned an indictment against
Loeb and another officer ot the com
pany on a clwrge of using the mails to
defraud. It is alleged that the contest
company was a lottery and "get-rich-quick"
scheme, wheh offered to pay
several thousand dollars as prizes in
guessing contests.

Marseilles, April 28. A mail steam

KLAMATH IS TO BE IRRIGATED.
Government Will Not Repeat Good
Odor to Canal Company.
Washington Sooner or later the Kla
math Canal company, operating near
Klamath Falls, must step aside and
mako way for a big government Irriga
tion project. It is. for this private en
terprise to say whether it will go vol
untarily or whether it will be forced
out. The fact remains that the gov
ernment la going tu absorb private irri
gation worrks in Klamath basin, and is
going ahead with the const met ion ot
its ow ii project on a grand scale.
There are several private entcrptlses
in Klamath Imsiti, hut all except the
Klamath canal company havu made
terms with the government and are
ready and willing to vacate. This con
cern, owned by California interests, is
unwilling to move unless it can name
its owh price, and sell out on its own
terms. The government docs not do
business that way. That is' why the
Klamath Canal company will) probably
lie forced to vacate.
I-asl IVoember, when the government
first entered into negotiations witli this
company, tho officials of the rcclnma
tion service made a liberal offer. They
were willing to pay 1260,000 for the
works and proixTty of the company,
and to grant them navigation rights on
the government canals. , Hut the com
pany lielit out foi 1600,000. Negotia
tiona failed. The reclamation service
was satisfied that the Klamath canal
proHrty was not worth $260,000;
rough estimates placed the actual value
at nearer $60,000; but Mug anxious
to build the larger project and recog
nizing the equities ot tho cae, the)
tlxed what they termed a very liltcral
offer. No such price will ever aiwi
be offered. It is more than the facts
justify.
Logs for Paper Mill.
Albany Seven thousand cords of
