St. Petersburg, Dec. 10.-An official
agency here issues the following an
nouncement:
1.-THE United States charge d'affaires,
II. II. II. d. Pierce, has communicated
to the minister of finance proposal
by Mr.. Wins, the representative Of
group of financiers, to make q large
DewItte, the finance minister, Is not

Washington. Dec. 10.-There are
seers who predict Uncle Sam will be-
come the banker for the world. Two
old world governments, Russia and
japan, have turned their faces to the
United States In search of loans. Rus
sia, at least, has had agents sound
American financiers. This is the first
time foreign nations have sought to
float great national loans in America,
and the wise men think 1t is the begin
ming of the new era.
1t may be said on authority that
Japan needs the money ostensibly to
meet deficit in her revenues produced
by heavy expenditures for land and
sea armament and also to assist her in
the establishment Of u national indus
trial bank. That is Japan's official ex-
planation Of her needs. In diplomatic
circles 1t is shrewdly suspected that
Japan is preparing herself for an ulti-
mate struggle with Russia and has
been hurried by the activity of Rus
sia in borrowing $55,5OO,OOO to replace
her artillery with rapid-tire guns.
1t was learned at one of the lega-
tions to-day that this loan recently
made in France, is only one-foruth of
what Russia actually needs and that
Russia has come to this country for
assistance because she has failed to get
all she wishes from France. 1t is pre-
sumed that Japan and Russia between
them will want $4OO, 100000.

Kansas City, No., Dee. 20.-It was
decided in the national convention of
the American Federation of Labor to-
day to bring the struggle for an eight

On May LIST of that year the granite
cutters of America will ask their en-
ployers to choose between yielding to

day. They urged the federation to

trades union congress to be held In
formation, asked of Messrs. Thorne
and Inslsip, the fraternal delegates
here from the British trades congress.

congress. The Englishmen both eX-
pressed the opinion that 1t would be
composed chiefly OF socialists and ad-
vised the federation to have nothing
to do with It. Their recommendations
were concurrcd in by an overwhelming
vote.
The convention paid its respects to
Claude NJ. johnson, director of the ma
tional bureau of engraving, because

SHERMAN TELLS TALES.
Mckinley Wanted to Purchase Cuba and
Avoid War With Spain.

Chicago. Dec. 21.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says:
Former Secretary of State John Sher-
man. In an Interview. tells an interest
ing Cabinet secret which I'm the days
before the war was frequently sus-
pected but never established. With
considerable emotion the ex-secretary
said: lu
II tried to prevent this foolish war
with Spain. AS n matter of fact nego-
tiations We're already in progress to
purchase Cuba from Spain when the
war feeling suddenly rose and swept
everything before 1t. And Spain would
have accepted the terms.
'.This is matter of secret history.
And now what have we got to show
for all this expense? Some islands In
the Philippines, for Instance. which
are worth about S2OO,OOO per annum in
come. increased Indebtedness of $780,
100000 and a lot of islands inhabited
mainly by man-eaters. And the most
distressing feature Of the affair is that
we are now about to be called upon
to pay $2O,OO0,OOO for territory that
we could have taken without expend-
ing a dollar"

OPPOSITION TO PRINCE GEORGE
Affairs In Crete More SERIOUS Than Oniclni
Reports Indicate.

Chicago. Dec. 21.-A cnblegram from
Vienna to the Record. says:
The official reports that are now np-
pcaring In the Athenlnn papers rela-
tive TO affairs In Crete cannot but be
regarded, by persons even superficial
ly acquainted with the actual situa-
tion. MS extremely optimistic in so far
as they deal with the attitude of the
Cretan Mohammedans toward the high
commissioner of the powers. Prince
George of Greece. 1t Is reported that
the Inoslcms express intense satisfnc-
tion nt Prince Georges appointment
whereas 1t Is well known that the maj
or portion of the Mohammedans In the
islnnd-and especially in Candia-have
expressed themselves rs strongly op-
posed to Prince Georges installation.
Many of those who know the char
ncter of the men with whom Prince
George has to deal fear that the Mo-
hnmmednns will stir up revolt all over
the island In opposition to the admin
istration. though on this point there Is
difference of opinion. In Vienna diplo-
matte circles It is believed that Prince
George. supported by nm efficient staff
of cOunsclors. will soon make himself
master of the situation. The Neue
Freie Presse. on the contrary, thinks
that two dozen battaliOns of soldiers
would prove of more real service than
any number of counsclors, however

Great Britain has given another
striking example of friendship, for the

thorities.
This information came to the state
department a few days ago in cable

Stewart of the Sixty-Ninth.

Stewart of the sixty Ninth.
Some OF the veterans of the state
rifle range were sitting around in the
restaurant lobby during the dinner
hour at Creedmoor last week. indulg-
ing in "reminiscences. Tim Scully, who
has served up "victuals and drink" at
the range fo- tho past twenty-one
years. was speaking: when Sergt.
Stewart OF the Sixty-ninth died last
month";" he said. 'one of the most IA
nous shots OF Creedmoor passed
away. i remember one day three of us
were standing on the porch out there
discussing off-hand shooting. / sug-
gested that man might make ten
bull's-eyes on the expert range, but
could not have fiat sight and hit
target at 100 yards. Sergt. Stewart
scofred at the idea, and. pointing to the
lignum vitae ball on the top of the flag
stan. 200 feet away. offered to wager q
ten-dollar bill that he could hit 1t in
three shots without using any sight at
all. The wager was laid and Sergt.
Stewart blazed away. At the first shot
a discussion arose as to whether or
not the ball had been hit. Some Of us
said 1t had and some said it hadn't
Well said Sergt. Stewart. I have two
more shots yet The second shot we
all agreed was a miss. The sergeant
pulled up his piece for the third and
last shot. and when he fired. knocked
the ball of the pole. When we picked
It up we found all three bullets i'm
bedded in it." It is said that on an
other occasion certain general who
was anxious to become a sharpshooter
was scoring misses" one after the
other. He was about to give 1t up in
despair when one Of his friends called
Sergt. Stewart to the generals aid.
The sergeant took his position In front
of a nearby target and shot into the
generals target. while the general
had been given a tip to fire over the
fence. The record showed that the
general had made five bulls" while
many wondered that Sergt. Stewart,
the famous shot. should have missed
his target five times handrunning.-

plenty but how could it be otherwise when we consider the attitude of our government towards the army for the last thirty years? Not in the memory Of the present generation of officers had there before been an assembling of the army, nor even, manoeuvres in div islons or corps. Distributed throughout the country, broken up for post and garrison duty, what else but confusion and blunderlng could be expected to ensue when quartermasters and others who had never seen more than fraS- ments were called upon for swift and systematic handling of large bodies of men? For years the government has cut the army into. fragmental duty, scat tered it's staff organization, denied it facilities for corps drill, and it's staff ex- perience in transportation, refused to reserve stock of munitions, equipment, etc. And suddenly, when called on to ex- hibit all these, naturally we have in- competent and floundering officials. Some excuse can be found for the in- dividuals, but none for the government. Harper's Magazine.

REMARKABLE FLIGHT OF HOM-
 ING PIGEONS.

In view of the dispatch of German pigeons from Dover, it is interesting to note, says a correspondent, that the blue chequer cock Gordon, belonging to Mir Ramsbottom, of BlacSburn, was last night found in his loft. hav- ing taken seven weeks to fly 630 miles from Bordeaux. The majority of the other birds liberated on June 2S by the National Flying Club are still missing, and Gordon has flown 200 miles further than any bird yet arrived. Gordon, which holds the Rennes to Blackburn record, having done that journey in a day, was taken without preliminary trial from Bournemouth to Bordeaux, a distance of over 400 miles
 A Ryde correspondent telegraphs that number of homing pigeons flew ashore at that place yesterday from the sea. Many of them took refuge in the gardens of the Royal Yacht Club. They all appeared very hungry and ex- hausted, and when food was placed be- fore them they ate greedily. One was caught, and from the marks on the bird, it is conjectured that it is one of the German pigeons let loose at Dover a few days ago. London Telegraph.
