a Bond Story.


ton for the report circulated in the
East. last week, to the effect that
Russia has made the tender of a loan
to the United States even in a larger
sum than this country is likely under
any circumstances to need.
During the early part OF the month
the exports of gold were unusually
large The bankers seemed not to be
able to account for the steady outflow,
but the shipments were large. and Mr..
Carlisle realized that a few days would
find his reserve of one hundred millions
reduced by more than twenty-five per
cent Long ago, the report was current
that this country or. at least, the presi-
dent. had received from Russia the vol
untary offer of a gold loan. The way
in which the offer came made its ac-
ceptance impossible. However. II is
now said in Washington and New York
that very recently overtures were made
to Russia by our government for a gold
loan. The information printed in the
Washington Post is this: The reply
from Russia was not only prompt, but

ly terms which might be expected from
a nation that was steadfast to the
Union cause during the years of the
war"
1t is known that, as the result of
years of prudent accumulation. Russia
is stocked with an unusually
large supply of gold. 1t has been
Russia's policy to hoard gold, so as to
be prepared. as far as finances are con-
cerned. for any crisis which Europe's
complicated conditions might bring
about. The finance journals reported
several months ago that Russia carries
$500. 900 in gold. The report circu-
lated last week in Washington and
New York was that the Russian gov
eminent had expressed a readiness to
place s400. 900 900 at the disposal of the
United States; 1t is said that the offer
on the part of the government of the
United States was security in the
shape of bonds upon the same terms as
those that had previously been rendered
TO London capitalists. 1t is recited
that the friendly feeling accompanying
huSSld = answer was eNlnCeQ Dy the
fact that she asked no interest on the
loan.
Things took a sudden turn last week.
special article i'm the Washington
Post gives the story as II was told in
New York last Wednesday. 1t is to the
effect that j. Pierpont Morgan, with
the knowledge of August Belmont, had
passed the day in Washington. in con-
suitation with the president and his
advisers. Mr.. Belmont is the agent in
the United States of the Rothschilds.
Morgan and Belmont had been in
formed by way of London of the Rus
sian offer. They desire to stop IL, and
the current report is that they offered
to arrange a loan for any sum the
United States might need at three per
cent fiat; a lower rate than the worlds
commercial circles have ever before
offered on bonds of the United States.
All this was told in New York and
Washington last week and talked
about. Isn't IL curious that the agen-
cies that try to check free-coinage talk
by prating about the peril to American
securities are the very ones that are in
hot pursuit of more OF the same kind
OF securities at the lowest interest rate
on record?

many imposing credentials. James T.

reads as follows:
This passport is granted to the dog
'owney,' of the United States, whose
name appears below, by the Hiogo Ken
Cho, for travel in the interior. The
dog is expressly cautioned to observe
in every particular the directions OF the
Japanese government printed in jap

to, conduct himself in an orderly and
conciliatory manner toward the Japan

home by this time, as he was started
from New York, over the Pennsylvania
road, with a fresh tag on his collar on
Christmas eve, and arrived in Chicago
the next morning, where he was given
a public reception, after which he was
again headed for Tacoma.

THE PIONEER JEWELER.
To-Day the Mortal Remains of Henry
M. Lewis Will Be Laid to


The funeral Of Henry M. Lewis, the
pioneer jeweler and matchmaker of San
Francisco, whose death was noticed in
place this afternoon at 1 o'clock from
Pioneer Hall. The interment will be in
the Hills of Eternity Cemetery in San
Mateo County, and it will DE private.
The death of Mr.. Lewis, though not I'M
expected, was very sudden. He was suffer
ing from fatty degeneration of the heart.
On Saturday ne had rallied little and
was talking to his wife, when he called for
his watch. 1t was handed to him, and
after he ascertained the time of day he
started to wind the watch, but before that
operation was completed the color forsook
his face, his hands dropped by his side and
his head fell back on his pillow.
Mr.. Lewis came to this city on the bark
Matilda in company with Colonel A. w.
Won Schmidt, the wellknown civil engi-
neer and others, in April, 1S49. The only
survivor of the passengers by that vessel is
Colonel Won Schmidt. Soon after reaching
here Mr.. Lewis, who was practical ieweler
and matchmaker, started in business on
the site of the store he occupied up to the
time of his death. Like many of the other
old pioneers. he suffered losses by the great
fires in the early fifties, but he always re-
established himself at the old stand and
pointed with pride to his sign, 1.-THE Pho
lleer Jeweler and Matchmaker" Finally
he purchased the ground, upon which he
built the brick house where he died. He
had for neighboring structure the large
building on the southeast corner of Clay
and Kearny, in which, on the ground
floor, was Keys Clothing Emporium,
then the most famous clearinghouse in
the city. On the upper floor was Ford S
daguerrean gallery. This was before the
days of the ambrotype and OF the photo
graph.
When Mr.. Lewis started in business the
charge was $40 for cleaning watch and a
like amount for replacing broken main
spring-if there was one in his stock to
fit. A watch crystal cost 81. Then in the
jewelry line the only things in demand
were those that were attractive. The
furore in the early days was what
was known as the specimen pin for men
and brooches for women. Fantastic pieces
of pure native gold were mounted as scarf
pins, while smaller pieces were joined to-
gether and worked into brooches. Every
body had one or more of these, and every
body sent one or more East or to Europe
to relatives and friends. In making these
Mr. Lewis realized great deal of money
for the charges were high, though the
material was plentiful. Mr.. Lewis was al.
ways business man, and never moved
from the place in which he first located
Besides his widow and daughter he leaves
brother, who has been in mercantile
business for many years.

a stand he found the great corporation
clamoring for the refusal of his petition on
the ground that it wanted the space and
that the stand would interfere with its
own eating places on the ferry steamers.
SUIT the State of California evidently
thought that the Southern Pacific Com
pany had plenty of room for all its pur-
poses, and legitimate restaurant competl-
ton on shore need not be killed In the in
terest of business afoat.
SO Martin agreed to serve the ferry travel
at reasonable rates. and he was permitted
at his own expense to fit up his cookery.
But Mr.. Huntington never forgave him,
and has resented his invasion. The railroad
people have refrained from patronizing his
lunch counter, and have in different ways
made things Interesting for him. They
charged him 50 a month for water, which
he is obliged to carry from the end of the
wharf to his kitchen.
When he concluded to get water else
where at a cheaper rate, they refused to let
him 90 down on their dock to empty his
Stops in the bay. That forced him back to
the Southern Pacific faucet. He cannot
get lower rate though he keeps free
drinking place for the benefit of the people
who patronize the ferryboats.
Martin one day went down on the con-
crete wall to see Commissioner, when one
of the gatekeepers ordered him off the
State property, saying he evidently wanted
to take something.
Martins last work in the service of the
public was to get an empty room in the
building fitted up by the Harbor Commits
sioners for the convenience of ladies occu-
plying the waiting groom, he agreeing to
take care of the place. The railroad en-
ployes objected, but again the State Off
Gals stood by the bold restaurant man, and
although the wharf superintendent of the
company vowed that he will have that
room locked up in two weeks, their patrons
are enjoying the accommodation wrung
from him.
The British steamer Bawnmore, now
loading cargo for Portland, will take on
her great wide upper deck tugboat and
two large surf-lighters to be used on the
Central American coast.
One lone vessel, the Lyderhorn. occu-
pied the bay yesterday, and not another
anchor was down. Such is the demand
for all kinds of craft that each new arrival
is hauled into dock Immediately for dis
charge.
