Tho Now Loan.

The true reason why the new four and q
half per cent loan bids so fair to be q
splendid success is not, perhaps, very clearly
understood. The cardinal fact is that the
full amount called for is already invested in
United States bonds. The success of the
loan requires no drain of capital from other
sources The Syndicate is merely financial
machine for compelling the holders Of three
hundred millions of six per cent bonds to
exchange them for the same amount Of four
and half per cent bonds. The six per
cents are payable at the option of the gov
eminent five years after the date Of their
issue, but it is not obliged to pay them until
the expiration of twenty years after their date.
The mode of conducting the Syndicate is
for it to take, to begin with, o moderate in
stalment of the new loan, say ten millions,
and authorize the government to draw upon
it for that amount of gold. The Treasury
then gives notice that certain specified bonds
Of like amount are to be called in and paid,
and that the interest on them will be stopped
after o given date. The holders of the called
bonds have then to consider what they will
do with this gold when they get it, The
stagnation of trade both in this country and
Europe makes it difficult to find employ
ment for large amounts of money, and, be-
sides, most of the bondholders prefer fixed
Investments Their experience in United
States securities has taught them that our
bonds are among the safest investments Of
capital. The six per cents are bought every
day in the market at premiums which make
the income on the investment but little more
than four per cent, and there is really
nothing better which the paid-of bondhold-
ers can do with their money than to rein
vest it in the new securities. In con-
sequence very little gold will be
handled in the conversion Of the public
mality of receiving coin for the old bonds
and then purchasing new bonds with the
proceeds the holders will go to the Syndi-
cate and make direct exchange Of the six
per cents on which interest is about to be
stopped, for the four and half per cents,
on which interest is about to begin. When
the first instalment Of the new bonds has
been disposed Of in this way the Syndicate
will take another and another until the loan
is exhausted The few holders who do not
wish to make the exchange will be paid in
gold, but their humber will be very small.
If the problem Of Secretary Morrill, were
to find three hundred millions of uninvested
money and borrow it for the government it
might be one of no small difficulty. The
easier task which devolves on him is merely
to get capital which is already invested in
United States securities transferred to other
United States securities which will yield as
good return as the old bonds would to
present purchasers.

The DISASTER ON BOARD HER MAJESTY
EHrP THUNDEEEB has been thoroughly in
vestigated by the Coroner, and after an in
quiry lasting several weeks the jury has
returned q verdict of accidental death. f"
This rendering is in keeping with recent
one in the case of the running down
Of Q yacht by Queen Victoria's pleasure
steamer the Victoria and Albert. OF
course it was pure accident that
the safety valves of the Thunderers
boiler were tightly wedged down when the
fires were lighted and steam was gotten up.
The omission on the part of the engineers to
examine the condition Of the boiler must be
recognized as accidental 1t was an unfor-
tunate accident that water in close reser-
voir should make steam when the tempera-
ture was raised above the boiling point. 1t
was entirely accidental that the ship was
built at all, for that matter. If the English
people are satisfied with the verdict we have
nothing more to say, but the word 'acci-
dent" has received new meaning.

The Battle OF the Oar.

There is story in the Bible which tells
us that certain Philip was recommended to
battle in the Jordan Rivera miserable little
stream, as the English crews speak of the
Schuylkill-and that this great man OBJ
jected to that obscure lavatory because of
the argument that the Euphrates was the
nobler torrent of the two. Still, there is
proof that the Jordan cured the bather
Philip, of his infrmities, and, if we may
trust our information, elsewhere printed
the Schuylkill has convinced the English
oarsmen that they cannot row as fast or as
strong as the Americans.
The race was wonderful. The London
rowing crew had plenty of backing, and
were expected to win. The almost unknown
crew of the Beaverwyck club beat the Gel e.
brated English oarsmen by mere
miracle. What are eighteen inches in a
mile and half struggle? In this case the
Englishmen did their best, and If they
failed they failed gloriously, and all the
honors must be divided. The race was
almost q dead heat, and we cannot see that
either the English or the Americans deserve
the victory. The great international boat
race was determined by inches, not
by yards, and the credit should be
divided. Nothing more brilliant than
this contest ever occurred on the waters
of America, yet we concede that the London
Rowing Club is one of the best in the world.
1t should have beaten the Beaverwycks, but
it did not We trust the Nautilus Club will
again do itself full justice. Its representa-
tive oarsmen are light weights, but both Mr.
Walsh and Mr. Roach have done themselves
honor by the magnificent style in which they
have rowed against superior odds. The re-
gatta on the Schuylkill River has not been,
thus far, defeat for American oarsmen, but
no one cares who wins if the best men are the
most successful. In short time the Lon
don professional crew will measure their
skill and power against our own men, and it
is not improbable that the Thames may again
revenge itself upon the Schuylkill.

CooPEn-CARY MASS MEETING Mr..
Cary discoursed eloquently last night at
the Cooper Institute on his favorite subject,
'.that blessed baby" Whatever the audience
lacked of sympathy for the ragged bantling
they made mp for by genuine applause
whenever the speaker suggested that the
Cooper-Cary platform meant money for
everybody. Not that they put implicit faith
in Sam Cary's panacea for all the evils of
the times, but because the bare suggestion
was pleasant one under any circumstances.
The name Cooper alone is enough to set every
impecunious listener thinking about "that
barrel of money" and the flush times when
the crisp greenbacks filled the pockets of
the workingman. In order to carry out the
programme properly, each one present ought
to have been presented with greenback on
entering the hall. This would compel the
republican and democratic candidates to
serve ont silver bricks at all their meetings.
in order to maintain their principles and
their ground against such an overwhelming
argument in favor Of paper money.

The w Gather.

The haziness of the atmosphere yester-
day precedes rain, which will possibly
visit MS toward evening. The tempera-
ture will increase so that the afternoon
record will again go above eighty de-
grces. These conditions are due to the
barometric depression now central in the
region east of the Mississippi, and which on
the night before last produced rainfall at
Milwaukee of LII inches up to midnight.
The rain area yesterday morning extended
over the lower lake region from Buffalo to
Chicago, the fall at the latter city being
Isl inches. Yesterday afternoon the rain
area moved southwark into the Ohio Valley,
and extended from Cairo to Pittsburg, with
light precipitation. The movement of
the high barometer southwark will cause q
series of disturbances in the Gulf of Mexico,
which may develop into severe storms. We
are now entering the period when the atmos-
pheric waves are set in violent motion by
the changes of temperature, and may look
forward to the approach of frequent storms
and rains in this latitude The develop
ment of cyclones in the Atlantic has already
begun, and their arrival on the European
coast has been attended with short spells of
extremely bad weather on the coasts of ireland
and Northern France. To-day the weather
in New York will be cloudy and warm.
