RUssIA's OFFER OF GOLD.

Omcfals Excited Over an Incident
That Happened Two Years Ago. d.
Washington, Dec. 27.-Great inter-
est was excited in official circles here
to-day by the publication in the Wash
ington Post, under a New York date,
Of circumstantial statement to the
effect that the Russian government
has offered to lend the United States
government and amount of gold, up to
10000, 600 -one-half of it's total pos
session Of this specie ~ in order to
maintain its credit against assaults
from the great money powers of 9TH
er European nations, and that, learn
ing Of this tender, the Rothschilds,
through Messrs. Belmont & Morgan,
had made Overtures to let the United
States have any amount of gold need
ed.
The statement, it is learned, is ac-
curate, so far as concerns the fact
that Russia rendered the United
States part Of it's store Of gold, but
the natural inference that this offer
was q recent one made in consequence
of the late Venezuelan message and
subsequent panic is not warranted, for
It may be asserted positively and on
excellent authority that the tender
was in no manner influenced by the
complications now existing between?
the United States and Great Britain as
the result Of the negotiat tions over the
Venezuelan boundary question, and
was IN fact made two years ago.

Welch, president of the Union Trac-
