BERLIN, Sept. 26.-The government finds
ii necessary to explain the policy Of per-
mitting German banks to take part Of the
new Russian loan. Tho pnanimity OF
press protests convinced Won Caprivi that
it would be grave political error II denial
were not made OF rumors circulated by the
syndicate that the loan has the tacit Sane
tion of the German government. The
North German Gazette, official organ, pub
fishes communication tonight in which
it denies that tho government is In any
wise departing from the path of political
finance which it has troddcn. The Man
dolssohns made confidential inquiries from
tho foreign Office az to the attitude of the
government towards the issue. In reply
the foreign Office informed the bankers that
the present political situation offered no
occasion for government interference
in any form. The chancellor
did not design in the reply
to convey tho slightest idea of approval.
Bankers, the reply declared, are In most
cases perfectly capable Of acting upon their
own Judgment. This semi-ofiicial state
ment wants frankness in suppressinR the
fact that the German houses before joining
the syndicate were led to believe that the for
eipn Office favored the issue Of the loan hSre
on political grounds. Public clamor against
supplementing tho cash balances of Ger
many's enemy has obliged Won Caprivi to
drop his complacsncy towards the loan. 1t
will not 90 here. Probably the government
never intended it to succeed. The commit
1mittee Of the reichsrRth held an unusually
prolonged meeting to-day and decided not
to increase the bank rate Of discount The
American demand for bullion is in the
meantime far below what it was expected
il would be.
Ii il reported that Emperor William, who
is at q shooting lodge near Eiedtkupnen,
met the train conveying the czar on his trip
to Russia from Denmark and had conver-
sation with him. The Post tonight, re-
ferring to Won Waldersee's restoration to
imperial favor, states that the emperor has
nominated him to the command ct the
garde du corps. This will keep Won Walder-
see in Berlin and give him to the ear OF the
emperor, with whom he will have greater
influence than ever.
! In an interview Capt. Bingham, military
attaohe OF the American legation hero, who
has just returned from the German military
manoeuvres, dilated upon the courtesy ne

authorities, who gave him every opportunity
to see everything of interest. Capt Bing-
ham said hs was greatly impressed
BY the wonderful ~ unifo1%alty Sn1aisyyv on o,
training shown he ws ny the s0ld,sry TN
field. The marching power of the German
army, he declared. was almost incredible.
Speaking of the fighting qualities OF the
army, Capt. Bingham said the main factor
in real war is the marching quality OF the
having your forces on hand at the righ.t!
moment you can win by force OF numbers
Capt. Bingham spoke in the highest terms
of praise of Emperor Williams untlrlnl
energies in the saddle. ''His majesty" he
said, "took the field at four O'Clock in the
afternoon Even the empress, who at
tended the reviews, remained in the saddle
for four hours, although the heat and dust
wore sitting. She smilingly saluted the
troops AZ they passed, filling the soldiers
with the greatest enthusiasm. In conclu,

nights fatigue and hard riding.

The published story regarding the CON
version of Prof. Winscseied, of Leipslc, tt
Professionalism is not exactly accurate. His
conversion was not entirely due to his dis
approval Of the exhibition of the "hol,

which time he has been entirely disassocia-
ted with the Catholic church.
