ST. PETERSBURG, December S.-The
Journal De 81. PeterS5Ourg denounces the
mass of inventions published by the for
eign press concerning Russia's intentions
and the purposes for which the Russian
loan was negotiated. 1t especially pro-
tests against the statements OF the Ger
man papers that Russia is engaged in con-
structing pontOon bridge over the Dan
ube at Reni, and also against the warn
ings of those papers to the German public
not to inves. in Russian securities. The
.JoupqI declares it is impossible to Justify
these utterances ia the face of the fact that
Russis's economic revival is ever increas-
irg, but which increase does not afford
cause for vain glory, or for departure
from the work OF peace and recuperation
outlined by the Gar at the time Of his ac-
Cession.

and Other Matters.
Now that Columbus has been admitted
AZ member Of the American Association,
the TriState League will, of course, have
to get another town in her place. The Til
State League was little too fast for Co
lumbus anyhow, ard that's why che went
into the Association. It is now in order
for the Columbus papers to come out and
say that the Lesgu will be failure with
ont that city as member, when the facts
of the case are that as q good drawing
town Wheeling was and is yet head and
shoulders above Columbus. What the AS
sociation will do to get cut crowds in that
CITY is a mystery, and it Is doubtful II the
club could hold out more than half the
sessop, uuless the Association helps her
ont. If Steubenville should decide 70 go
into the Lesgue next season, it is thought
she would do we'll. Then there Is Dayton,
Newark, Springfield, Youngstown and
Akron to draw on, so that we are sure TO
have a good Lesgue next season without
Columbus.

Vienna or Constantinople. If these terms are
