ALExANDER's- KINDLY OFFER.
Russia's Guar offered the President an Un-
limited Loan without security.

=
limited Loan without Security.
Gu eAGo, July IA special from
" ashingtoA to The Post says: Discussion
of the gold reserve in the treasury and
the action past and probable OF the Nor
gan Rothschild syndicate has brought 10
light the fact that Car Alexa-der III Of
Russia offered to loan the United States
all the gold necessary to maintain the re-
serve at any figure desired. Tho friendly
tender was declined by President Glove
lind, because after several weeks of con-
sideration and elaboration and tele-
graphic correspondence back and forth be-
tween Washington and St Petersburg 1t
was decided that the president had ncs
the authority to Issue bonds or otherwise
incur Indebtedness in behalf of tho gov
eminent.
II was some time In May, 1898, that the
state department received the offer through
Andrew ID. White, the American minister
ut st. Petersburg. The cars offer of as
sistance was direct, but simple. Mr. White
said in his official communication to the
state department that he had been called
upon by NJ. DE Giers, who said that the
car had instructed him TO confer with the
representative OF the court OF St. Peters
burg, and to inform him that the car
stood ready to make personal loan to the
president of the United States Of gold to
the amount OF So, 90, COB, or as much moro
as might be desired, at nominal rate Of
interest and for an indefinite period OF
time. The interest indicated was frac.
ton moro than 2 per cent Nothing was
said about security, and it was evident
that Alexander III believed that the presi-
dent could take this money and apply 1t to
the needs of the United States treasury
with but little forInality, and that he had
the power to do so.
The fact that Alexander was able TO
make proposition OF this kind is not sur
prising. The exchequer of the empire Is
absolutely under his control. Then, too,
all of the gold mines in the Russian terri
tory belong to the crown, and the product
is the property of the royal family.

CORNELL CREW WEAKENED.
Badly Beaten by Trinity Hall In the Fourth
Challenge Gun Heat.

HENLEY on THAMES, July l0.-The first
heat for the grand challenge cup was to
be rowed yesterday between the crack lie
ander crew and the Cornell crew. At the
word .'go" the Americans started out but
the Leanders remained at the starting
point, declaring they were not ready. The
Cornell crew pulled over the course alone,
and were declared the winners. The affair
has caused much harsh comment, though
the Corneiis are upheld by the umpire and

TO 90 A-swLnr1ING.


There's a red-letter page that is brighter
for its age,
And the finger marks of Time are
never dimming:
1t has much to say of hot summer day,
When We fellows ran away, to go a.
swimming.
Creeping through lengthy grass while
dancing shadows PASS,
Threading deep haunted woods where
the squirrel slows his goods,
And birds nested high teach their little
ones to fly,
Where the grape-cluster shines in a
wilderness of vines,
Where our messy pillows green not a
slumberer hath seen,
And the red flowers grow in a blossom
drift of snow;
1t was maybe twice>as gay that we felt
bit astray,
When we fellows ran away, to go
a-swimming
And the river and the pool were so
heaven-like and cool,
With fresh baby breezes over-skim-
ming;
Every thing well contrived for pleas
ure short-lived,
When we runaways arrived to go a.
o,virnn,iprf
Now all ready now a plunge! and our
bodies like sponge
That unduly dry has been, seem to drink
the water in:
We are cropping in the caves of the cold
silent waves,
We are climbing to the air, flinging tor
ents from our hair,
And we struggle to and fro through the
ripples' gentle flow,
And we duels gaily fight with the splash
ing waters bright,
On each other, through the fray, fling
ing barrels-full of spra,;
Oh the mad and merry day we went a
swimming!
Now the moral of this rhyme, is for
youths careless time;
Full of good, sober counsel it is brim-
ming:
In your labor or your play, your super
iors obey:
Don't you ever run away to go a-swim-
ming.
Though the flower Jewels shine with a
radiance divine,
And the daisy-hlossoms creep in the
meadows half asleep,
And the clouds are like a high floating
castle in the sky.
And the forest branches dumb wink and
beekon you to come,
And shady nook you know where the
dainty pillows flow,
Whose delicious quiet charms would
fold you in their arms,
Be obedient while you msy: on the shore
Of duty stay;
Don't you ever run away to go swim
mingl

The True Cause of the Revival OF
Trade,

isS iiuS SduSc ia Inc Revival ci
Trade.
The Washington Sunday Post had
sy1A postum of articles from promi-
nent statists and business men on
the business revival and the cause
thereof. The following from the pen
of President George Gunton, of the
School of Soc ial Economies, is. to our
mind, so acc urate that we repro duce
it in full:
The present revival of trade is the
result of causes, the opposite of which
created the depression which began
carly in 1892. Capital is very heroic
when it feels perfectly safe, but it is
the most oowardly thing on earth
with uncertainty or danger in sight.
There are two important facts that
explain the changes of industrial con-
idence. One occurred in 1892, and
the other in 1894. In 1892 both leg
islative and executive departm, nts OF
the Federal government passed into
the hands of new party. This of
itself would not necessarily have ex
ercised any particular influence, hu.
for the fact that the specific object OF
the new administration was radically
to change the revenue system, which
everybody knew would disrupt exist
ing industrial and business relations
This certainty ofindustrial disturbance
created uncertainty in business every
where. The immediate effect. there
fore, was cancellation of orders. clos
ing of factories, mines and fur
naces, discharge of laborers, and saw
age reduction of wages all along the
line until what was first a panic
settled down into sullen, widespread
industrial depression. Until the fall
of 1894, no new industrial event had
occurred to change the current and
break the monotony of solemn de-
preston. The election of 1894 was
an emphatic, unequivocal reversal OF
the election of 1892. and. consequent
ly, set exactly opposite forces into
operation.
For the same reason that the cleo
ton of 1892 destroyed business conf
dence by assuring auti-tariff, and
consequently. bust aess disruptiug
legislation, the election of 1904 gave
the assurance that all such disturb
ing legislation should stop, and at
once created confidence. AS Don as
this assurance became a settled con-
viction capitalists, who had been

steadily increased with the certainty
that the election was. a permanent
event, and railroads and other indus
tries which had been static for several
years began to take advantage of the
low price of labor, ana made ready te
extend operations with the certainty
that return of prosperity would soor

industry shows the greatest revival

perity much of it is being carried on
by borrowing money from abroad
through the sale of American secur-
ties. And the possibility of selling
American securities is again the re-
suit not of the business now being
done. but Of the certainty of return
ing prosperity.
THE rise of wages is necessary
part Of this returning confidence and
preparation for revival, but you will
observe that though the increase of
wages is somewhat general, the
amount Of the increase is very Slight.
In most cases S and only in very
few 10 per cent whereas the reductions
were IS. 20, and not frequently rs
per cent The further evidence that
this is purely industrial and not fin
ancial is seen in the fact that the
threatened free coinage movement
exercises no practical influence in
checking the revival any more than
the repeal of the Sherman act checked
the depression.
1.-The depression has lasted long
enough to use up the entire stocks on
handin nearly all lines of industry and
throw capital out of use, so all that
was necessary to move the wheels Of
industry along the lines preparatory
to an actual increase of production
was the restoration Of confidence and
the knowledge that havoc-creating
Legislation was at an end. This the
election of 1894 assured not only to
America, but to all mankind OF
course, multitudes of other influences
are contributing now to the revival as
they did to the panic, but the main
and governing influence is the change
of administration, and the assurance
that business disturbing legislation is
at an end"
