CHINA IN NEED OF FUNDS.

Asks Russia and France to Advance a Large Loan. London, May B.—A dispatch from Shanghai says the Chinese emperor has written to the czar and President Faure asking for financial assistance to meet war expenses and promising to grant special commercial advantages to Russia and France in return therefor. A dispatch from St. Petersburg to the Times sayß that the Russian government is satisfied with Japan's reply to the protest of the powers and regards the incident thus far closed. Russia is evidently glad to get out of a very awkward position without haggling as to the particular form of language in which Japan agrees to refrain from annexing the Liau Tong peninsula. The Russian military preparations in the far east have been suspended in accordance with the orders from the war office.
