The effect Of the outbreak of Jingosm which
followed the naval preparations for an imposs-
hle war with Germany has been unfavorabe to
the rcace negotiations with America. The Eng
Nsh.nan suddenly seems to have recalled the fact
that Mr.. Cleveland. well the Emperor Will

that Lord Salisbury need not he too anxious to

Venezuela is favored.
American financial measures attract little no
tice here. Nh Burns, the head of the LondOr
house of j. 5. Morgan & Co., said this morning
.hat he thought the popular loan would be
aiken. but that the only effect would be that it
Nculd be paid for in greenbacks. and that the
currency would be contracted. With the uncer
ianty now prevailing respecting the interpre-
lation Of "coin payment" these bonds could
not be sold In Europe. and the expcdient of a
ropular loan would be a failure so far as the
protection Of the gold reserve was concerned,
since those who have gold would not part with

were necessary in his judgment for the rcstora-
ton Of American credit, Mr.. Burns promptly
said:
AN issue II per cent bonds payable in gold;
these would be taken at once by Dutch, German
and French bankers as well by Americ can
hanks which have gold. No new American securi-
ties are now marketable in England but If tho
Venezuela question were settled, per cent gold
bonds would g Ike hot cakes in London. The
Treasury would have all the gold It wanted If all

cents would al once be a popular investment IN

ruaranteed Then the gold reserve would be
safe." l. y. !.
