Therefore France's only y in such a joint effort would be at St. Petersburg. But this involves important considerations relating to Ru relations with Eu- ropean powers. France does not de- sire to exert an influence on Russia that would be distasteful to her or tend to weaken the alliance. In fact, some of the reporis of France's intention to influence Rugsia are attributed to cer- tain European political quarters, which are seeking to break the Franco-Rus- sian alllance in order to profit thereby to France's detriment. Therefore France will use the utmost circumspec- tion concerning any joint movement wherein her role will be solely to in- fluence Russia in a manner which Rus- sia does not regard as contrary to her interests. Several newspapers print categorical denials of the statement of Sir Thomas Barclay (who has been prominently identified with the movement which led to the Anglo-French arbitration treaty) that M. Cambon, the French Embassador to London, after confer- ring with Lord Lansdowne, came to Paris to discuss Anglo-French media- tion. The officials also say that Sir Thomas’ statement is purely specula- tive. One who taiked lengthily with M. Cambon while he was at the For- eign Office says he discussed a num- ber of current questions, but did not mention mediation. ol G THINK RATE OF LOAN HIGH. Sharp Criticisms Offered by the News- papers of Tokio. TOKIO, v. 11.—A majority of the | newspapers of Tokio sharply criticize the terms under which the new Jap- anese loan has been placed in London | and New York. They pronounce the rate as being too high considering that the amount of the loan is a com- paratively small one. The Asahi Shim- bun expresses the opinion that it was unwise place the loan before the to fall of Port Arthur. The new Japanese loan is for the { amount of $60,000,000, half of which wiil be offered in London and half in New York. The price is to be 90%, with in- terest at 6 per cent. The loan will be | secured by a second charge on Jap- anese customs duties. A dispatch from London November 8 said that dealings in the loan had already commenced there at 1% premium. It was definitely stated in New York Wednesday last that Kuhn, Loeb & Co. of that city had organized a syn- icate to finance one-half of the loan. ) NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—Half of the new $60,000,000 Japanese loan to be of- ‘fsred in this market by Kuhn, Loeb | & Co. will be payable, interest and principal, here at the fixed rate of ex- | change—3$4.87 per pound sterling. As- surance has been given the syndicate managers that the Japanese Govern- ment will permit the proceeds of the loan to remain on deposit in New York banks, “subject to the requirements of | the Japanese Government.” R o CONFIDENTLY EXPECTS PEACE Member of The Hague Tribunal Be- lieves Hostilities Will Soon End. | NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—Former Min- ister to Turkey Oscar 8.

[ “You may state positively,” were his | words, “that Mr. Hay will continue as Secretary of State up to the 4th of | March, 1909.” The President was asked regarding other possible Cabinet changes, but in- dicated that there was nothing to be said at present. His announcement regarding Secre- tary Hay was made to a number of newspaper representatives in his office late in the afternoon, Mr. Hay's suc- cession to the State Department port- folio fixes the most important place in the new Cabinet, and is the first and only step so far taken in that direction. EELID G S HARRISON HAS ENOUGH. | Decision Against Running for Mayor i in Chicago Splits Party. CHICAGO, Nov. 12.—In the light of the election returns from this city, it | was authoritatively announced to-day that Mawor Harrison has abandoned all ambition that he may have had for a fifth term. The statement came from a source so close to the city adminis- tration that it is not questioned by the local Democratic leaders, who are turning their attention to the forma- tion of plans for the spring election. The strongest indication that the Mayor no longer has any intention of seeking re-election is found in the fact that his closest supporters are looking for a candidate to offset the municipal ownership movement. Clar- ence Darrow and Judge Dunne are both in the field, the former after the Mayor’s political scalp, and the latter as leader of the Hearst maunicipal ownership wing of the local faction. Corporation Counsel Tolman was put forward to-day by the City Hall forces as an available man for the Mayor’s friends to groom for the Mayoralty nomination, not so much with a view to his election as for the purpose of holdling the City Hall following intact and defeating the extreme municipal ownership faction of the party. To those familiar with the situation this move means only oné thing—that there will be two candidates against the Re- publican nominee for Mayor. Unless conditions change materially it makes certain the election of the Republican | nominee. B Sy 1) TAGGART TO HOLD ON Says No One Could Have Stopped the Roosevelt Cyclone.

Does Not Think Japan Is Ready to |’ Treat for Peace. LONDON, Nov. 11.—The dispatch from Washington confirming the state- ment made that Japan had indicated her willingness to entertain peace sug- gestions from President Roosevelt or King Edward created much interest here. Baron Hayashi, the Japanese Minister, said to-day: “After the fall of Port Arthur Japan would, I believe, be ready to treat for peace on no higher essential basis than that Russia should evacuate Man- churia, Japan also agreeing to a similar evacuation. The two great difficulties in the wav of any suggestion of peace are, first, the apparent opposition of Emperor Nicholas’' present advisers to d settlement of any kind; second, the preservation of Russian prestige. When a nation’s prestige, if not gone, is severely impaired, it is a difficult mat- ter, even with the best of intentions, to preserve it.” It is learned that Queen Alexandra has been in constant communication with the Dowager Empress of Russia and Emperor Nicholas himself during the last few days. The reiteration of the American State Department’s determination not to in- tervene except on request from both of the belligerents tallies with the official attitude of the British Government, but it is thought that before long some method may privately be devised whereby this diplomatic barrier to ac- tion may be overcome. Baron Havashi this morning had no news from Port Arthur and discredited the rumors of its capitulation. g 0 Coaling Question Liscussed. PARIS, Nov. 11.—The Japanese Minister, Dr. Motono, had a lengthy conference with Foreign Minister Del- casse to-day relative to the observ- ance of neutrality, particularly in re- coaling the Russian second Pacific squadron at Madagascar and other French possessions.

Referring to Lord Lansdowne’s arbi- | tration suggestion, a prominent official of the Foreign Office expressed the opinion to-day that such an offer, even coming from Japan, could not possi- bly be accepted. “Such a controversy,” he said, “can- not be arbitrated. The idea is mnot worth considering. We believe the war has reached the turn of the tide, and it must go on. The only possibility of peace now, in my opinion, would be on the basis of a proposition submit- ted tg Russia by Japan offering. to ac- cept Jess than she demanded before hostilities opened. As it is inconceiv- eble that Japan at this juncture is prepared to offer such terms, I see no chance of ending the war.” Paris dispatches published here say that the French Government expressly excluded the intention of intervening when 1t proposed its good offices for the settiement of the North Sea dis- pute. — JAPAN WEARY OF THE WAR. Such Is the Opinion of Some French Diplomatic Officers. PARIS, Nov. 1L—The officials here profess to be unaware of the reported joint mediation movement in Great Britain, France and the United States. It is pointed out that the main fea- tures of the situation are these: Japan is evidently weary of the war and desirous of re-establishing peace. Japan naturally looks to Great Britain and the United States to assist toward a cessation of hostilities. France, as the ally of Russia, has no influence with Japan but has influence at St. ADVERTISEMENTS. 100 Dqses For One Dollar Economy in medicine must measured by two things—cost and effect.
