Of this sum, 100,000 has already been furnished, in the opinion of President Means not more than $50,000 additional will be required." The bank has been carrying considerable of its directors' paper.

They then asked to bo furnished a list of the samples furnished by the pure hog lard representative, Mr. Kimball, of Boston, and offered to furnish lists to Mr. Kimball of all samples submitted by them.

The Ccrdnics cf Ifiixs cn the Frontier Undergoes" Ko Cnmgt, The Military Bill Debate Russia Negotiating a New Loan The Qalnqnennial Session Bill Minor Kotes. uiRLix, Febinary 4. Copyright, 18 8S by the New York Associated Pre&s. While the semi-official press affects to regard the publication of the Austro-Germm treaty as having a pacific intent, official and diplomatic circles know that its real aim is to force the Czar to an Immediate war or compel him to submit to terms for a persratent peace dictated by the allies. The substance of the treaty has Iodc beo known to both the Russian and French governments. At the time of its inception at the conference between Prince Bismarck and Count Andrsy at Gastrin in August, 1S79, confidential disclosures stat mg the character of the com pact were made by rrlLce Bismarck to the Czar as an inducement to break off negotiations for a Kmeo-French alliance. The dy after the treaty was signed Prince Bismarck made a personal communication of the fact to both the Fr-nch and Iiasiaa ambassadors, withholding only tbe exact iciiüo ui iue irtaiy. ine puoiicaticn reveals nothing to any European government. Before disclosing it to the people the step was anxiously discussed by Prince Bismarck, Conn t Kalnoky and Herr Von Tisza. The Austrian Ministerial Council, the Ecnperor presiditg, consented to the publication of the maty only iajt vruk, uoon urgent represeLtations from P.ince Bismarck that tbe time was opportaoe. Its appearance at tte present juncture recalls the utterance of Prioce Bismarck when he was reproached in the Reichsteg for refusing to submit to that body certain diplorcatic correspondence. "Once a government determines to publish important documents," he sid, matters should have gone so far that nothing but war is hkely to ba the outcome of the situation." By the light of this memorable statement the immense significance of the publication of the treaty at the prewnt crisis will be 6een. It is the step which precedes an ultimatum. If Busala continues to arm and press forward masses of troops, menacing the strategic points on the frontiers, and if the pending negotiations f.jr au ofidnalre and defensive a'iance with France Ehould succeed, the central powers will not wait the convenience of the French and Russian governments to declare war. The crises, thereicre, nears a climax. lismarck's C0MIXQ srEECH. Prince Bismarck, in his speech in the Reich st a.?, on Monday, may. place a peace ful interpretation upon the motives of the publication of tbe treaty, but nothing he ran say is expected to lessen the strain of the situation. The Czar must elve Dractical assurances of peace or abide by an early war, and judging by all that is known or bis character and the ministerial influ ences now dominating him the Czar, will not yield. Count 8chouvaloff, the Russian Ambassador to Germany. is in St. Petenbn? attending' the annual court Ha will retnrn tn V.r. lin to-morrow, and will see Prince Bismarck berore tne meeting of the Reichst on Monday. The debate on the military bill will be brief, unless the Pm-a-sist- anH Socialistic malcontents insist upon talking. All the great parties have agreed to mark their sense of the situation by disposing of the measure without delay. The renort of Prince Bismarck's conference with the leaders of the government eroaD was not accurate, but the Chancellor has seen them tf parately during the week and given them convincing information of thi necessity tr at no Parliamentary check be placed upon tie pat sage of the measure. RUSSIA A5D FRAKCTS. Advices from St. Petersbonr' to-nieht seek to minimize the importance of the r com illation between the Czar and M. Ficuquet by representee that the ex change of coartes'es between M. Flouquet ai.d Baren Yon Mohrenheiro, tbe Rnssian Ambassador at Pans, was not of high political significance, and that M. Flouquet has out-lived the "Vive la Poloene" mistake. His present attitude justifies tbe approaches of Baron Von Morhrenheim. If the liouqet incident had not been a mere exchange of courtesies the Berlin Chancellor would not have heeded it. Its true significance, as learned thronen the German embtsaav at Paris, is that Baron Von Moherenheim is neeotiatinz an alliance under President Carnot'a assent. with leaders of the French Radicals who are likely to form a lasting war cabinet. M. Flouquet, De Freycmet, Brisson and Flourens have been sounded on tbe subjact. If Moherenheim succeeds in convincing the French leader in favor of an alliance, the Tiiard ministry will be replaced by a Freycinet-Boulanger Cabinet within two months. Germany will be exDOsed to an attack from France when Russia reads the summary of the treaty which has not yet appeared in the Kussian press. The Moscow papers to-day are pessimistic in tone. They predict that the negotiations with Austria will not result in the interest of Russia. , The Kreuz Zeitung records fresh army movements on the frontier. The oar d -dry frost favors tbe marching of men and borsesand the transportation of war ma terials, and the concentration of troops along the line of the Niemen is actively progressing. The fort works at Kovno are completed. Twelve iforts connected by earth works will protect ths concentration of a force ot 2öO,ÖO0'men designed, accord ing to tne Kreuz Leitung, to operate against Prussia. BEQOTIATIRO FOEA LOAN. Russia continues its negotiations for a twenty-three million loan in Paris and Amsterdam, and is reported to be on the eve of tnccess. The high terms ofered, backed by tbe recommendations of the French Government, are inducements for tbe bankers to venture. The Barings have placed fifteen million roubles worth of Kicbolal Railway bonds on behalf of the Russian treasurer. They renresent sums advanced by tbe treasury to the railroad and nominally repaid. They are now E laced to tbe Barings, who issue them in ondon at 5 percent G ennui Investors retain Russian securities with great tenacity. The.'selling on the Bourse to-day, which was of a purely speculative character, sent them down X to 1. The buying of Russian securities for investment has entirely ceased. American railroad securities of the best kind taking their places. A dis patch received from St Petersburg to night asserts that the French loan propo sals submitted to the Czar were so onerous tbat they were declined. On the other hand reports have been received at Frankfort that a loan of forty million roubles baa actually been concluded by Russia from French parties at a nominal Interest OriKQTJEHHIAL SXBBIOlf. The reception by the Reichstag of tbe quinquennial session bill ensures its uliimate success by a small majority. Herr Von Boetticher declared in the course of the ietftte that the Government, sof hav

project, trouid keep a neutral position. The Center party, Progressists and Bocialists, will oppose the measure, but as tee govern rr en t groups are solid in its sap port tbe bill will become a law.

Kailtoads of the Northwest and Southwest in a Bad Way. Chicago, February 4 The war in freight rates instituted by tbe Chicago, Milwaukee and bt Paul railroad is the one topic discutstd in rail way circle,and agents are woqcermg what will come next. As Fust Assibiant General Freight Agent Knapp.of the crthwesMrn, puts it: 'The busi ness is demoralized at present and I dou't see how it can be made worse." As these dispatches indicated last night, the St. Paul made a cut of 2 cents on all clae of freight to Missouri rivtr points. Tc-day tne same roaa annouuees a tanner cut of hall cent on firsl-clas-i atd 3 cents cn sec ond class to Missouri river points. This further cut was promptly met by the Southwestern Association and the Chicago sbd Northwestern met it as far as Cjunssl Bluffs acd Omaha are concerned. The lat ter road also met the 10 cent cut ot the St. Paul to St. Taul and Minneapolis. The Northwestern people declare tbey are in tbe fight to stay. As yet no steps have been taken to stop tbe rate cutting. Caairman Midgley, of the Southwestern Asso ciation, eajs no meeting of aeents has beea called yet to consider ,ue situation. Fol lowing is the schedr . now being quoted to MUsociri river pr its: Cas 1, 2,")i 2. ou; o. s. iy; n a; a, iyyt u, lü; C, 10 ; l 10 ; r,, 10. ;Ttere is little doubt that the present ireigni war win be a long and desperate one," eaid Chairman Midgely.of the Southwestern Railroad Association, to-day. "No propositions of a settlement have been made, nor would it be of any use to make any at tbe present time. There is no telling where this fight will end. A Geht of this character ia now an entirely diöerent matter from what it wa3 a few years ago. Tfce railroad extensions in the Westend 8outhweet have been so great that a fight like the one now in progress will ba far reaching in its effects. Owing to the relative geographical situation of 8t Paul, Omaha and Kansas City, and the operations of the Inter-State Commerce law, this fight will demoralize rates and must involve the entire Northwest as well as the West and Southwest Further cuts are liable to be made at any minute. I have received dispatches from far Southwestern points roeetiDg the rate, with the usual differentials, from points connecting with Omaha, Kansas City and St Louis." Kansas City, February 4. The railroad freight rates from this point are so badly demoralized that it is difficult to make definite statements of the actual cuts made to day. The following facts will be published In to-morrow's Times: "The Fort Scott it Gulf reduced tbe rate on packing house products from Kansas City to Memphis 2 cents; fresh meat to Memphis (when cestined for point9 east of the Mobi'.e fc Ohio) SKcfnts; sugar from New Orleans to Kansas City 6 cents, bananas 14 cents, oranges 14 cents, cocoana'a 11 cents. The Missouri Pacific makes a general cut on the trst five classes from St Louis to Kansas City of 2 cents and on cotton piece goods, St. Louis to Kansas 1G cents. All the lines runnirg between Kansas City and Chicaco announced a further reduction of 1 cent on tbe third, fourth and fifth classes and on cisss A of 2) j cents. The Alton announces a cut on coarse grain to Chicago and St Louis o' 5 cents and on cattle to the same points of $12 50. The Missouri Pacific has asked the agents of local lines to call a meeting to fix a rate on packing house products" 8t. Lons, February 4. The Chicago and Alton announces a further cut of two cents on the first fire classes of freight between here and Kansas City. The Missouri Pacific will meet any cut that may be made by ether lines. The slaughter of prices is caisirg a great deal of comment here, and the cpinion ia expressed that the demoralization will extend to all the Southwestern lines. Des Moises, Ia., February 4 About fifty railroad employes, representing nearly all the railroads in Iowa, were before the Senate Railway Committee last night until 1 o'clock, giving testimony against the two cent fare bill and the lowering of freight rates. The gist ot their argument was that either would operate against the employes rather than the stockholders. Letters from responsible men residing on the Rock Island and the Burlington roads were received, saying that employes were made to sign the remonstrance under com pulsion. Rey. Ida C. Hutton opened tbe Senate with prayer this afternoon, which is believed to be tbe first instance in tbe history of the country ot such office being performed by a woman. Fidelity Hank In ettaent Nolllea. Cikcihhati, February 4. The indict ment against Henry Pogue, one of tha di rectors of the Fidelity Bank, has been nollied.

Judge Sage aaid Mr. Pogue could not have been convicted without proof first that the statement was false; second, that Pogue knew it was false, or had strong reasons to suspect its inaccuracy and had taken no steps to examine it He aaid bank directors were bound to use good judgment in selecting officers, and having done so, were jastified in relying upon a proper perform ar.ee of their duties.

Wool Statistics. EosTCN. February 3 Tue Boston Cam. mercial Bulletin has collected from wool growers in all parts of the country statis tics (bowing tne cost to the erowers of raising a pound of American wool. In summing up the result, the Bulletin will say to morrow, editorally: "American fine wool coats the Krower.without his own profit or freight to mill, from 1 to 15 cents more tne ecoured pound, according to grade, than the corresponding grade of free foreign wool would cost the Arctr'can manufacturer at bis mill. American medium wool similarly costs the grower front one to three cents more the scoured pound than free imported medium wools would cost the manufacturer. The prediction is made that tue removal of the duty oa combing or clothing wjoIs woa:d de stroy tne raising or Merino wool in this conn try, but that In the older States, as in Canada, to day, sheep might b9 grown, not tor wool, but xcr mutton, and as the Merino tbeep does not make good mutton, the Down or Cotswold sheep that does make good mutton woull "take their place."
