NEW LOAN A SUCCESS.

Washington, ID. c., June 15.-If there
was ever any question about the success
Of the new 3 per cent war loan, it has
been set at rest by the way in which
subscriptions are already beginning TO
come in ut the Treasury Department.
The assurance of the success of the loan,
however. has made absolutely certain
by two propositions each covering the
entire present issue of $500. 100000. The
subscription of the National City Bank,
the Central Trust Company and Yer
miIye & Company made the day the loan
was opened was for any part of the
total issue that should not be taken by
the public. Another proposal was form
ulated the same day covering the entire
amount. 1t came from j. Pierpont Nor
gan and n number of associates.

have joined the marines. in scouting for

field piece in the trenches was fired to
clean it. The report was followed by a

JOHN BULL BACKS JONATHAN
If Germany Seizes Philippines She Must
Reckon With England.

Reckon With England.
London. June 15.-Germany' attitude
at Manila is regarded as the most in
teresting phase Of the war for the mo-
ment. The Germans are credited with
desire to find work for their navy,
and another success like that at Kiao-
Chou would reconcile the nation to the
expenditure required to provide more
warships. therefore despite official re-
quotations. the matter is regarded with
some anxiety. 1t is certain, however,
that Germany would have to count upon
the opposition of England and perhaps
of Japan.
The Daily Mail says editorially:
I'VE do not quite believe the rumors
of the proposed seizures by Germany in
the Philippines. and for one very good
reason England would have to be reck-
oned with. John Bull will back NJ
brother Jonathan. if any attempt Is
made TO defraud him of his rights
The Daily Mail says elsewhere:
"If new European concert is patch
ed M against the United States. we must
not delay to declare ourselves on tho
side of America. 1t is to be hoped, that
if Germany attempts a demonstration al
Manila, the British admiral will be al
hand with one or two of his fine ships

DO IL War; Must Pay Costs and II Scored
by tho Judge.
London. Aug. 1s.-In the queens bench
division Of the high court Of justice to-
Gay Justice Wright acquitted Earl De
Ia War; and Mr.. Broadley Of the charge
OF contempt of court in alleged attempt
10 induce Ernest Terah Hooley, the
bankrupt company promoter. to falsify
ms evidence in the bankruptcy court.
The learned judge said. however, that
both were blamable, and he mulcted
them in costs.
Justice Wright said that while he
must absolve Earl De la War; of the
charge of bribery, he must hold that
the earl had wrongly tried to induce
Mr.. Hooley to correct sworn statements
made by him in the bankruptcy pro-
ceedings and had wrongfully promised
to help Mrs. Hooley. With regard to
the alleged bribery. he could not wholly
absolve Earl De la War;. With regard
to the money the earl received, possibly
the latter believed it was received for
services rendered or as gift from Mr..
Hooley. The judge said he supposed
that was generally the way names were
paid for, but as these proceedings were
only intended to vindicate justice it
would be a sufficient punishment for
Earl De la Wars indiscretion if the
court ordered him to pay COSTS
With reference to Mr.. Broadley's case.
Justice Wright considered him, he said.
much more guilty in asking Mr.. Hooley
falsely to say that he made a retrac-
ton without communicating with Earl
De la War;. Broadley was guilty of
subornation of perjury. and, while he
(the judge was in doubt whether he
ought not to deal very differently with
Mr.. Broadley, he had concluded to make
the same order in Broadley's case as in

Chicago. Aug. 1s.-The Record says:
Great Britain, Russia and Japan have
entered the markets of the United
States for the purpose of purchasing
provisions, such as canned and sailed
meats, for use in their armies and ma
vies. For several weeks a rumor has
been in circulation among the great
packing houses at the stockyards to
this effect, and now it Is confirmed.
What such an order as will probably
be placed by each country will be can
only be estimated from the amount or
dered by our government during the
early part of the war between the Unit
ed States and Spain, but it is safe to
say that each foreign power now f1gur-
ing for the purchase of provisions will
place an order for at least 5000, 900
pounds.
Whether or not the American packers
will he able to secure the full orders of
the foreign departments depends upon
