THE SOLDIER'S FRIEND

Whit Public Printer Bineiict Hu Dmb for Yeitnni mi Their Families. A Lirgs Per Cent of the Employes of the 0ce Members of the 6. A. R. What the Records of the Department Shaw Under Republican Administration. Decision of Assistant Secretary Maynard la Repaid to the Classification of Leaf Tobacco Pensions. Wa?hikgto:t, Aus?. 1 Pablic Printer Benedict bas reen savagely attacked by some of the Republican newspapers of late because it Is alleged that he has been turning cut ex Uuioa soldiers by the wtoUsale. "The fact is," east! Mr. Benedict when his atte n tion was called to the attacks upon him, and It can be verified by inquiry among the employes and an examination cf the roll3, "that there are more veteran soldiers, their widows and children employed in the ofhee to-Jay than ever bifore in its history. A large per-cent of the foremen are soldiers and members of the G. A. R. Of the 1,950 in the office 500 are honorably discharged soldiers and their nid ott s and children. There has not only been an increase of the number of this clas a, bat as increase of the number who have seen active service in the field. There are nineteen watchmen employe! in the building, and in those places the old soldiers can well be employed. Whjen I took charge of the office four of these positions were filled by old veterans, now there are fourteen of them. I have discharged soldiers from my office. I have discharged some because they are unworthy of hoiding a place in the printing office fcrthe reason of their bad habits. Others have failed to pay their debts. A few have loaned money in the effice at exborbitant rates of interest. Some were objectionable and uncompanionable among their fellow craftsmen, and some have sought to emburass my administraiton. I have .discharged a few for the reason that their appointments were purely political and as a reward for party service. They nsed their time in the office in party work and in slandering Democratic veteran soldiers and maliciously misstating my own action and course, both by voice and letter. Some of these men had: been discharged before for causa of a like nature, but had; been restored through political influence. They will now remain our during my administration. For the first time in the history of the office a census has been taken of all employes to learn whether they have the right to claim protection under the statute relating to soldiers, their widows and children. The records of the office show that heretofore no attention was given to Democratic veteran soldiers in the matter of appointments or protection under the statute. The Republican veterans who refused to go home and vote were punished by being assigned to work, that caused them great physical suffering, and a one-legged veteran who declined to vote was given work that required him to stand all day long,ai:d,when asked to be relieved, he was told that when he had attended to his political duties he would be given an easier position. Many were appointed on consideration that they move from the District into Maryland, so as to become voters. A daughter of a Democratic veteran soldier was removed because her father hoisted a Hatceck rooster in bis yard. Not, in the matter of discharged employes, it is but fsir to s' ate that the force of the oitice is about 22 per cent. less than when I took charge of it, and that of the 450 displaced tbeir places have not been tilled by new appointees, and with this reduction of force the cfce is daily executing 20 per cent, more work than it ever turned out before, and doing it in a better manner and with greater increase of comfort to the employes, whose interest we are ever on the look out for. They have better and more fit qnent pay than ever before. SECRETARY MATNAKD'S DECISION Relative to the Classification of Leaf Tobacco, Washihgto, Aug. 1. Asst-Secretary Maynard to-day gave a decision in regard to the classification of leaf tobacco which will be of interest to the tobacco trade.Tne question aroee on a decision of the collector of 1 Paso, Tex., assessing duty at the rate of 75 cents per pound on certain leaf tobacco imported from Mexico, of which 59 out of every ICO leaves were of the reqeisite size and üceness for use as wrappers, and 100 of which leaves weighed lees than a pound. The rieterminatson of the points involved depends principally upon the unit to be adopted in ascertaining whether C5 per cent of the tobacco ia of the weight and quality which renders it liable to the rate of dnty imposed. In his decision, Judge Mavnard says: "The (.object of the tax is 'leaf tobacco,' not 'bales,' or 'hands,' or 'packages' of leaf tobacco, and the liability to duty can not be made to depnd upon the form of the package in which the importation is made. Every leaf, eighty-five percent, of which is suitable for wrappers, and the weight of which is such that more than one hundred leaves would be required to weigh a pound. is declared to be liable to the higher rate of duty. This view is further strengthened by the provision in the paragraph that in determining the weight the individual leaves alone are to be regarded The weight la not to be determined by hands or packages or bales, but by leaves. It is contended that in determining the percentage suitable for wrappers the Government can not include any more than that part of each leaf which is actually and finally used in the manufacture of a cigar, and hence it is further contended that if in wcrking up the leaf 85 per cent of it does cot thus enter into the manufacture cf the cigar as a finished product then the tobacco is dutiable at the low rate, and, as in no case 85 per cent, of any leaf is ever thus used, it would follow that the higher rate of duty could never be imposed. I do cot think that such a construction can be sustained. The law hu refercnoe to leaf tobacco in the condition when imported and not to the final results which may be obtained from its manu'acture into cigars. It ia dealing with a kind wellknown to the trade as suitable for wrappers that is, fit to be set apart for use for euch purposes, and if 83 per cent of the leaf properly comes within that designation and is cf the requisite weight the conditions of the law are met and the high rat of duty should be imposed. It bas been suggested that it would be difficult if not impracticable for the appraiser to adopt tbe leaf as a unit but it is not be leved that auch an objection rests upon tilable T"UBd." JudfcS IMaynaxc! reviews the present

method of determining the classification of leaf tobacco. He says: "It is the practice to regard tbe hand or package as the unit, and in case 85 per cent of it is cot found to be light weight and suitable for wrappers, then to regard the whole Importation as dutiable at 35 cents per pound. I think euch practice is not in accordance with the intent of the law, and should be discontinued. It follows that in the case under consideration 59 percent of the invoice was dutiable at 75 cents per pound, and 41 per cent at 35 cents per pcund." The collector at El Paso Is instructed to reliquidate the entry accordingly and to refund the excess of duties. The Assistant Secretary refers to the recent application on behalf of importers for a modification of the instructions heretofore given to the collectors at New York, and says that the department declines to issue any feather instructions on the subject than are contained in the present decision, which is intended to supercede all previously instructed whicu may be in conflict therewith.

GONE TO THEIR HOMES

Withdrawal of the List cf the Pinkerions Frcn the Coke Scions. Airest of the Pmidsnt of the Miners liscciitioo, Charged With Conspiracy. Ccmpmmise Between the Striken and Iren Manufacturers it Etat St Ltuis. Twenty-Seven Tanneries In Newark, New Jersey, Shot Down Plumbers Preparing to Leave'the K. of I Fittsecrg, Aug. 1. The last of the Finkerton guards, fifty in number, were withdrawn from the cake regions to-day and passed through this city thla afterxron to their homes in Chicago. The role-workers made no demonstration on tteJr leaving. Pretiident Himmell, of the Miners' Association, at West Leisenrlcg, was arrested yesterday and held in $1,000 bail on a charge of conspiracy and interfering with the men at work. He was one of the principal leaders in the strike, and his arrest caused come excitement. This evening the coke workers commenced voting' to decide which of the two rival organizations, the Knights of Labor or Miners' Amalgamated Association, ia to be absorbed by the other. The feeling between tbe members of the two associations is so bitter that the Amalgamated officials have refused to meet with the Knights of Labor in a conference with the operators looking to a final adoption of a sliding scale of prices. A B&BIOU3 MISUNDERSTANDING. Fresh Troubles Between the Iron Workers and Manufacturers. Pittsburg to-day inaugurated what from present indications will be the most sericus misunderstanding that has arisen for years between the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Steel Workers and the manufacturers. Already a cumber of mills in the Mahoning Valley have been closed down, and neaily 5,000 iron workers are out of employment while the Indications are that before many days there will te a still larger number of idle mills. The trouble is caused by an attempt on the part of the Amalgamated Association to enforce an old law in their constitution, w hich provides that no man shall hold two jobs at a mill. At the recent annual convention of iron workers an amendment stigmatizing the holder of two jobs as a '-black sheep" was passed, and it was decided to enforce the law after August 1. The members of the association were notified of the action taken as a rule gave up their extra jobs, but the trouble rose over non-members who refused. At the mills of Painter & Son, in this city, Brown, Bon Dal I & Co., Mahoning Valley Iron Ca and Cartwnght McCurdy & Co., of Youcgstown, Ohio, the mill owners refused to discharge these men and the mill closed down this morning. The same trouble is expected at the solar Iron works m this city, and at the iron works at Akron, Ohio, and Girard, Pa. The manufacturers refused to recognize the law on the ground that it was cot in eluded in the agreement or scale of Wf ges they signed. Both sides are deter mined to maintain tbe stand taken and unless an amicable settlement is reached soon, several thousand more mill workers may be out of employment Tanneries that l)own, New Yoek, August 1. The twenty-seven firms composite tbe Leather Manufactnr era Association of Newark, N. J., stopped work in the first stage of the tanning process on Saturday. This does not cause the immediate discharge of the men. as it will take from a week to ten days to prepare far tanning and turn cut the bices already in the beam room. After that tanning operations will cease. There are two reaSOCS given for the Bhut downone is that ever prod net ion has resulted in profitless saies, and tne other that the nrma have de cided to run the chops independent of die tation from the Knights of Labor and Trades Unions. About two thousand men will be thrown out of work by the shutdown, ' Holling- Mill Strike Ended. St. Loris, Aug. 1. The strike in the Lit tie Rolling Mill In East St Louis last week, when 200 Btokers and laborers quit work and compelled the shutting down of the mill and throwing out of employment 200 other men, was settled to-day and the mill resumed work to-ni;ht. The demand of Stoker Moore lor an assistant was complied with, but the dismissal of Forenoon Davis, which the strikers demanded, was refused. Leaving; the Knights. Pittsburg, Aug. 1 At a meeting to be held next Friday night the steam-fitters who are at present members of tbe Knights of Labor will withdraw from that organization and form a branch of the International Association of plumbers, steam and ges-niters. This will taae about ouu members from the Knights of Labor in this section. THE KENTUCK ELECTION, An Old-Fashioned Majority for the Democratic Ticket. Lorisviix. Ky August 1. Tbe election for State and Legislative offices of Kentncky, passed off quietly to day. The weather was clear and hot &nd the vote doea not seem to have been large. Owing to the length of tbe tickets and local contests, the returns are as yet meagre. The labor and prohibition vote are smaller than was anticipated. In Louisville the Democratic majority is about 3.CC0, a Democratic gain of nearly 2,000 over last election. The city electa a solid Democratic legislature ticket and defeats local option by a heavy majority. The county and city gives the Democrats a majority of 3,000. Meagre returns from the State indicate a Republican gain, but the following Democratic ticket's estimated majority will be from 25,000 to 35 000 votes: Governor, Simon Bolivar Buckner; Lieutenant-Governor, G. W. Bryan; Auditor, Fayette Hewitt; T-easurer, J. W. Tate; Attorney-General, W. H. Hardin; Superintendent of Public Instruction, J. D. Picket; Land Register, Themas Corbet Gen. Bnkner appears to have ran ahead of bis ticket and Democratic losses are mainly in local contests. Lexington gave Its first Democratic majority in several years. The vote for holding a Constitutional Convention was large, but question will not likely carry. The Legislature will be largely Democratic and will elect a United States Senator in January to succeed Senator Beck. Indications to-night are that the work

ingmen have carried their State ticket in

Newport Ky., by wo piurauiy, ana in Covington by 2G0 plurality. Xhy are elated and sanguine of success in Kenton and Campbell counties. GONE GLIMMERING. W. J. McGarlgle Disappears From His Canadian Stopping Flace. Sabkia. Ont. August 1. McGarlgle has disappeared. At midnight last night the chief of police visited tne p.'ace wnere ne was suDDoaed to be staving, for the purEose of arresting him, but found that he ad fled. To-day rumors are plentiful as to his whereabouts, but the most acceptable theory afloat is that he is under the care of some inenaiy iarmer in one of the adjoining townships, where he can easily communi cate with friends and avoid detectives and reporters. The warrant upon which the chief of police was act'ng last night did not state the nature of the charge, and the chief of police to day submitted it to county crown attorney Bnck, who advised him to proceed no further in the case as the warrant was defective. Mcuangie nas retained Mr. Lister, M. P. as legal adviser. Consolidation of Fenstoa Districts. Wasbikgtos, July 26.

THEY DID NOT AGREE.

Tie Jorois in tla Conspiracy Ciso Unitle to Reich a Verdict Eight of Them Vote for Acquittal, While Four Hold Oat for Convictions. One Republican Stands With the Democrats in the Cases of All Defendants. How the Thirteen Billots Were Taken and the Result cf Esch. A Uuanimeus Belief Expressed as to the Innocence of Reirdon and Cannselinin. Judge Woods Does Not Consent to an Incomplete Verdict and Discharges tbe Jar y without Kemarks. As was predicted by nearly everybody, the jury in the celebrated conspiracy case failed to agree, At 4 o'clock yesterday afternoon Charles W.JAnderson.Jof Cass county, the foremar. waited upon Jadge Woods and informed him that it would be impossible for the jury to agree and asked what should be done. At the same time Mr. Anderson told the Judge that the iury had agreed on the acquittal ot John Reardon and John H. Coucselman, and asked if a verdict as to them could be returned. The jurors say Judge Woods refused to make any reply to this question of the foreman, and in consequence no verdict was rendered as to them. After Foreman Anderson returned to the jury room Judge Woods held a long consultation with District Attorney Sellers, in the latter's office. At 5 o'clock Hon. C F. McNutt of counsel for the defendants, was Bent for and the judge informed him that he had concluded to discharge tbe jury, as he considered it useless to keep them confined any longer. There had been a large crowd about the poBtcffice all day waiting for some word from the jury, and when Mr. McNutt was seen to hurriedly enter the building quite a number followed him in. Mr. McNutt Immediately gave his consent to the jury's discharge and he, with tbe district attorney and tbe judge, walked into the court-room and the jurors took their seats in the jury box. Judge Woods addressed the jury and said he understood that they could not agree. There was a general nod in the affirmative. He then asked eacn one the same question, and in each instance the reply was to the effect that they could not agree. The iudge after extrecsine his regret that they were unable to agree discharged them from further service. Of the defendants only Simeon Coy and Jobn E. Sullivan were present and Mr. McNutt was the only one of their counsel that was there. Mr. .brown had gone horns and Mr. JJynum was at the ball same. ... .... As soon as the jury separated, it was learned that there was no agreement on any proposition, except as to the Innocence of Reardon and Counselman. On Friday night, shortly alter the jury retired two ballots were taken as to whether there had been any conspiracy or not This resulted in seven cays and five yeas. No other vote was taken, until yesterday morning at 5 o'clock, when the esses of the. defendants were taken up separately. Coy'a was considered first, and the vote as to his guilt resulted, eight nays and fo r yeas, and this was the vote as to several others of the defendants: Simeon Coy Eight for acquittal ; four for conviction. W. F. A. Bernhamer Six for acquittal ; six for conviction. Stephen J. Mattier Nine for acquittal; three for conviction. John E. Sullivan Nine for acquittal; three for conviction. George W. Budd Eight for acquittal; four for conviction. C. N. Metcalf Ten for acquittal; two for conviction. Albert T. Beck Eleven for acquittal; one for conviction. Henry Spaan Eight for acquittal; four Tor conviction. HOW THEY AGEEED TO DISAGREE. The jurors got up bright and early yesterday mornirg and began balloting on Mr. Coy s case at 5 o clock, it was evi dent from the start that there would be no agreement in his case, for although Sam' uel Nicholson, a Republican, voted for his acquittal, the foreman, Charles w. An deison, a Greenbacker, voted guilty. r rem the time the nrst ballot was taken it was evident that the Democrats pro posed to stand together and they stood united in this determination to the last Wm. H. Fulvider, of Columbus, who was made secretary of the jury and Willard S. Bo wen, of Laporte, did most of the talking on the Demo cratic side. Said one of the jurors of Mr. Fulvider: "He is a good man and a staunch Democrat and I never saw as con vinclne a talker on a jury as he proved to be. Mr. Bo wen waa also well posted and . he was reliable. In fact all of the Democrats stood together like a stone wall, except in sin gle instance, that John F. Hunt, of Vermillion County, in the case of Mr. Bern hamer. It is understood however that if an other ballot had been taken. Mr. HuHt and Mr. Anderson, tbe Greenbacker, would have voted for his acquittal. For the Republicans, George W. King, of Bartholomew County, did the talking and it is said he was controlled entirely by party prejudices. He was the only juror teat refused to vote lor air. Beck's acquit tat Ezra Wood, of Mad ison, Jefferson County, was also very bitter apainst some of the defendants, and at one time said, "I would sooner have my right arm cut off than to go home, if I should vote for tbe acquittal of all these defendants.' He, however, refused to vote for the conviction of Mr. Beck. In the case of Dr. C. N. Metcalf only King and Wood voted for conviction, while all of the Democrats and J. H. Fear, of Tipton, and Samuel Nicholson, Republi cans, aud Foreman Anderson, Greenbacker, voted for scouittal. Two ballo'a were taken in regard to Stepben Mattier. The first re sulted eight for acquittal and four for eon viction, bnt after a abort discussion as to the testimony aealnat hin. Mr. Anaer changed his vote to not guilty, leaving only Messrs. Fear, Wood and King voting lor conviction, lnese same jurors were alone in voting guilty in the case of John E. Sullivan, and Mr. Fear waa half inclined to vote for acouittal. The only pallet taken la Georg W

Eudd's case, found Mr. Anderson voting with tha Democrats for acquittal, while the four Republicans presented for the first and only time a solid front for conviction.

It is said that the reason one Democrat went back on Mr. Bernhamer on the first ballot was he failed to introduce any character witnesses. This must have been the cause, as there was no direct testimony produced against him on the trial. "We had the hottest time in considering Mr. Spaan's case," said a juror. "The Republicans fought him harder than any of the rest of defendants. They teemed determined to get him convicted and oiiered to vote to acquit nearly everybody else if the Democrats would sacrifice him, but this we would not think of doing. As for me I would have died there first" It Beems that Juror King felt very bitter toward Mr. Spaan for some reason or other, and he said everything possible, and offered to make any sort of concessions as to the others In order to get him convicted. But when the vote wa taken, Mr. Nichol son voted with the Democrats for acquittal. As to John L. Reardon, there was e unanimous feeling for his acquittal from the start, and in the case of John H. Count e1 man, it only took a short talk from Mr. Fulvider to convince every juro that he should als j be acquitted, and when a vote waa taken every ballot read, "Not guilty." Only thirteen ballots were taken in all, but it was evident that had there been a hundred every Democrat would have been as firm as a rock, and there is little probability that there would have been a change of any kind. HOW THE EESCLT WAS RECEIVED. It was not many minutes after the jury was discharged until it was generally known in public places, and it at once became the all absorbing topic of the hour. Of course it was conceded everywhere that it was a political fight in the jury box a well as everywhere else, and the remark that "the Democrats had proved themselves loyal and true to principle and right" was made very frequently. There were, of course, a good many Republicans who expressed their regret that no one was found guilty, but many of the more liberal of them indorsed the action of the Democrats and Eome of them went so far as to wish tbst the Republican jurors had joined them. The defendants were congratulated upon every hand and Mr. Coy was Burrounded all the evening by a crowd of admirirg friends, all ot whom warmly congratulated him on the result. Captain Eli Ritter was of course greatly depressed and chagrined. He desired a wholesale conviction and declared himself confident that there would be at least four or five of the defendants found guilty. Bill Henderson has gone to an Eastern watering place fer bis health and he probably has cot heard the news yet Sol. Clay pool knows all about it however, and when he insulted a juror by saying to him upon hearing that he voted to acquit the defendant, "Now you had better go home and not show yourself again" he received this rejoinder: "That is just what I would have done, sir, if I had voted to convict those innocent men." There is a good deal of speculation as to when another trial will be bad. Jodge Woods says he does not know himself. There is, however, an almost unanimous sentiment outside the Committee of One Hundred, that the cases should be promptly nollied, as it is evident that there can never be a conviction. District Attorney Sellers, who was feeling very blue over that result, left last night for Monticello without saying what course the government will pursue in this regard. A TEN riCTVRE OF THE JURY ROOM. Inlthe windows of the jury room where the jury was located, the jurors could be seen sitting in their shirt sleeves. Yesterday afternoon a Sentinel reporter took a bird's eye view of the situation from a window in the Thorpe Block. Juror Stone was occupying one of the windows all by himself, and his expression indicated that his mind was made up !and ;that he proposed to stand by his convictions let come what might In another window was seated jurors May and King. Mr. King seemed to be doing the talking, while Mr. May was shaking his head in the negative. Just a little back of Messrs. May and King and nearer the center of the room were standing Messrs. Ik) wen of Laporte and Anderson of Cass. Bo wen was -doing the talking and he evidently was speaking In earnest ioT every minute or two he would stop gesticulating long enough to wipe the perspiration from his forehead. In anothei part of the room Juror Fulwider, of Columbus, and Ezra Wood of Tipton.were conversing apparantly upoa a business topic. While they were thus engsged they were joined by Juror Hunt of Vermillion, who came up smiling. Juror Nicholson was not seen but it was supposed that he was laboring with Mr. Dicsmore, who was lying upon a cot Afterwarda when the reporter passed the most of them were seated in tbe window and either smoking cigars or reading country newspapers. West-Beck Trageay. Latorte, July SO. The wildest excitement prevails at Chesterton. The body of Susie Beck arrived there to day. Phe parents of the girl are almost frantic with grief. Parties are scouring the woods in search of West who is supposed to be in biding. If he is caught he will be lynched, bo strong is the feeling against him. A post mortem examination of the stomach and liver of Miss Beck is now in progress in St Louis, but thus far no symptoms of poison have been found, and the aupposition of poispning rests entirely on the ground that a package of arsenic, part of which had been used, bas been discovered. The doctor's death certificate gave cholera morbus as tha cause of death. Examination shows that a recent miscarriage had taken place, but whether criminal abortion had been practiced has not been determined. West came to Chesterton a little less than a year ago to preach for the Methodist Church there. Susie Beck went into his family as a domestic in February, aod an intimacy was soon discovered between them. Abbott and Miss Beck left on June 24, and went to Chicago, from which place letters were written by both of them disclaiming any criminal intimacy. West returned to Chesterton July 20 without Miss Beck, and was forgiven by his wife, but on being confronted with the story ot his career in St Louis, decamped Thursday night. Little Helen. IFrom Babyhood. Little Helen, three years old, cut her thumb; she kept very quiet about it until it began to bleed, then she screamed: "O mamma, mamma! come quick, the gravy's all a-running out!" The same little girt with her papa, mamma, and little brothers, was spending one summer at her grandpa's. One day at din" ner, grandpa, having ao much larger a family than usual, was somewhat' absentminded and waited upon all except Helen. She sat quietly back in her chair and said very demurely: "Poor little girl! Poor ütUo Helen!'

GLADSTONE HOPEFUL,

Ee Predicts a Literal Triumph at the Nexl Diisclation of Parliament And Contends that the Iand BUI M ' Amended Confers Vital and Important Benefits Upon Ireland . Flashes. Lokkos, July 29. Mr. Gladstone addressed the London Liberal Radical Union this evening. He said that at the last election the Unionists had a majority of only 76,000 in the whole country and that if tue Liberals reclaimed 150,000 votes their strength in parliament cow in the miner! ty would become a msjority of 100. Continuing, he said that 150,000 votes represented 11 per cent of tbe whole electorate and that tbe recent elect'ons had already given the Liberals six or seven seat, gains which indicated that the Liberals would triumph if Parliament were dissolved to-morrow. In regard to Unionist members, he waa sure that electors whö sapported or refrained from opposing them at the last election, mistook the position. They believed Irish autonomy to be of, questionable policy, or even mischevious; but anyhow they expected that tbe Unionists would co-operate with the remainder of the party in regard to Liberal principles, especially against coercion. The result, however, was that the Unionists believed as life-long foes. He continued: "Far from dismember ing the empire, we intend to solidify it The electors are rapidly and almost unanimously arriving at the right judgment The question of retaining the Irish members in West minster is still an open one, but it will never be allowed to interfere with the at tainment of our object. When autonomy is gained, it Ulster desires severance from the rest cf Ireland, the Liberal party will not stand in the way. This ought to be a conclusive answer to those who allege that the Liberals are indisposed to try the ecect of a reunion. The land bill as amended confers vital end important benefits upon Ireland. Mr. Gladstone condemned the "plan of campaign" though the tenants, he said, were not as much to blame as those who drove tbem to adopt it Mr. Gladstone s remarks were largely de voted to the influence of the pending elections in the direction of undermining the pe Bit ion of the dissidents and of persuading libers Is, who abstain from voting in tbe last general election. He -reminded his audience that a reunion of the Liberal party must be looked upon as far distant although he acknowledged the sincerity of Lord Harting! on's desire to reunite the party if possible. . Russian Securities. Berlik, July 29. The Börsen Zeitung, which has up to this time tried to allay the suspicion which has arisen against the Russian credit says: "It would have been better it the Journal De St Petersburg In its article on tbe crusade of the German preis against Russian securities had been able to state that all the rumors regarding the negotiations of Russia for a new loan were incorrect But this declaration was cautiously avoided, like the well grouded complaints of Russias hostile attitude toward Germany." The Frankfort Zeitung bas advices from St Petersburg which re-affirm the reports of the endeavor on the part of Russia to negotiate a loan in Paris. Other Russian advices refer to a proposal to promote the production of gold and arrest the depreciation of Russian paper. Tbey also allude to a scheme to tax foreign commercial travelers doing business in Russia and assert that this measure is directed principally against the Germans, who are the chief competitors r t the Kas siana.
