THE RUSSIAN LOAN.
The Tines says the Russian loan Of
S75,OO0,OOO was originally offered to
houses here and refused. II is now to be
issued at Paris and Berlin. 1t ia said
the issue price is 20 per cent and that the
Syndicate has taken the loan at a net
price far below that figure, so as to leave
ample margin. In the face Of the fact
that an internal forced loan Of 20OOOO,.
900 roubles has also been decreed this
certainly does indeed indicate rapid
exhaustion.
ST. PETERSBURG, June 1.-THE new
Russian loan will be issued by the In
perial Redemption Commissioner. The
interest will accrue from July lsl; half
yearly coupons will be paid at Berlin,
Paris, Amsterdam and London,

CoNsrANriNorLE June 14.-The Porte
is expected 10 reply 10 the English Motif.
cation regarding the Suez Canal, that it
considers the canal Turkish property
and as Turkey has right to fight her en-.
emies on the high seas, she obviously has
the right to oppose them on her own ter.
ritory. At the same time she recognizes
the great importance Of the canal to the
whole world, and will try 10 prevent it
from becoming the scene Of hostilities
by occupying each end with troops, 30
"a to prevent the entrance Of any Russian
ships.
RUsTcHuK, June 14.-On Tuesday a
party Of Russians opposite Maretin made
an attack upon the Turkish monitor
there, but the latter, with the help OF
land battery, beat them Of. Yesterday
another attempt was made 10 construct a
battery on the islands, but the Turks
compelled the enemy to retreat. Both
affairs are considered feints to find out
the position Of the Turkish batteries.
The Russians have massed around
KarS all the troops which they brought
from Ardahan, Gomery, Kogischnian and
Sauricamiche. For several days they
have attempted 10 storm Forts Tapanacl
and Karadagh, but on every occasion
they have been repulsed. Saturday they
made desperate effort TO take possession
Of some OF the heights, when the garrison
made sortie in force with field artillery
and repulsed the Russians with great
loss.
There are no Russian soldiers between
Olti and Erzeroum. Mohktar Pasha's
pickets extend from their camps at Zewin
10 Olti on the one side and ErLeroum on
the other.
