CASH LOANED CHINA by THE CZAR

The Loan of EIG,OOO.OOO Negotiated
by China with Russia as Endorser
Paid Over to the Cars Govern

Made During the War-Germany
watching the RuSsO-French En-
tente With Jealous Eye.
Berlin, June 15.-The government desir-
ing the right to go on sweetly while the
hobnobbing with foreign representatives
on the occasion of the Kiel
receptions is on. the semi-of-
fetal press remains uninspired as
TO the question how to deal with the de-
ytloped aspects of the undoubted alliance
between France and Russia. If the brief
utterances which have been permitted to
ehe newspapers could be construed into
guide as to the emperors opinion on the
subject it would seem that no great i'm
portance is attached to the Chinese loan
recently fioated in Paris and guaranteed
by Russia.
Still, it is known beyond peradventure
that the foreign Office has sent a dispatch
10 St. Petersburg asking for explicit infor-
nation in regard to the conditions under
which the Russian government has guar
anteed the loans and added to this as
sured fact, it is asserted upon good au-
thority that Germany accompanied the
inquiry with a strong remonstrance
against the manner in which the Franco
Russian entente was accomplished. Ger
man banking firms having intimate rela-
tions with the far east have learned upon
indisputable authority that the Russian
government advanced to the govern
ment at Pekin. during the time that
the war between China and Japan was
progressing. various sums of money ag-
gregating a sufficient amount to cover
the loan of f16OOO,OOO which the St. Peters
burg government guaranteed. 1t is al
legged ahat upon the first occasion Russia
advanced to China 100000 and shortly af-
terward 100000, following these loans
with smaller sums, which makes 1t ap-
pear that the so-called Chinese loan raised
ia Paris is merely a cancellation in a
roundabout way of the Indebtedness of
China to Russia.
The pretty fully verified news that the ST.
Petersburg government has for the past
SIX months been conducting transactions
in an underhand way with China has
greatly added to the irritation which is
felt in government well as in financial
circles here. This feeling is especially
strong among tinanciers, who have been
awakened to the consciousness that they
have been duped and befooled into a long
and useless series of negotiations with
Paris Pekin and St Petersburg capitalists
aral~. In,
France and Russia eventually captured
and the result is that Berlin bankers and
for that matter the Berlin government,
entertain feeling of keen resentment over
the manner in which they have been
treated. The Russian National Bank
which has taken f6,000000 of the Chinese
loan has been sounded by the Berlin Dis
conto Gesellschaft upon the question of
floating some of the new issue in Berlin
and has received a categorical refusal TO
comply with the requests made, although
the Compton Descompte of Paris, which
is intimately connected in a business way
with the Disconto Gesellschaft,, recon-
mended to the Russian house that the
German Banking Association be allowed
10 Join.- With a view of abating the feeling
OF soreness which prevails here, the Chi
nese embassy was inspired yesterday to
make an explicit contradiction of the al
legations that any financial advances had
progress of the Carbohydrates war.
Among the semi-ofiicially inspired news
papers, the Hamburg Correspondent is the
only one that is outspoken on the subject
The Correspondent declares that the Rus
sian coup will undoubtedly cause a feel
ing of lack of confidence among the pow
ers, which will be as lasting as it will be
disagreeable, and it will certainly have its
influence on future diplomatic transac-

The Vossische Zeitung assails Chancel-
LOT Won Hohenlohe vigorously for his mac
uon in not taking advantage
OF the circumstances to advance
the foreign position of Ger
the Zeitung says, Germany would never
have been so deceivd as she has been in
connection with recent events in the far
east.
The Kreuz Zeitung urges the govern
ment to make secure Germany's hold
upon desirable post in the north of China,
as the basis of a German ground from
which the movements of Russia can be
closely watched
In regard to the greater Chinese loan
which the Berlin syndicate are trying to
Iloat to the exclusion of Russia and France
II may be said that the negotiations are
progressing favorably and that the Lon
don hnanciers are wholly in sympathy
with the capitalists of Berlin. The out
look now is that the German syndicate

'ofce of circumstances.
