Dreytus Case.
French Minister of War Re-
fuses % Give up a
BATCH OF SECRET DOC
UMENTS.

Paris Dec. l9-The Chamber of
Deputies was put in Juror today by
the refusal of NJ. DeFreysinel tc deliver
to the court batch of secret documents
which according to his story have no
bearing on the Dreyfus case. He
claims that their publication would inn
peril the welfare of the state.
M. Busson, ex-minister, testified that
their publication would in nowise affect
the welfare of the state. NJ. DeFrey-
cinet's action violates the whole retrial
OF the Dreyfus case. After a stormy
debate, the chamber, by vote of $40
to 80 approved the attitude Of the gov
ernmcnt.

That Loan to Russia
reported That Negotiations With
American Bankers Are on Foot.
tlNANCIERS INTERVIEWED
onic"so Men Express Their Ou,u,o,
o." 'he Desfrnbility of Lending
o"r Money to the Govern.
ments of Europe.

on'cago' Dec, 2O.-A number of Chi.
.oso oankers and financiers have beer
in'erVleWed on the reported application
ol one OF the European powers for 9
heavy loan in the United States.
1ohn j. MitchelE- president of the II.
!lnols Trust and Savings bank. who has
just returned from New York. said. "1t
ls true that Russia and Japan Arc IN
communication with leading f1nanciers
IN thls country with a view to f1oatino
1oahs' Two weeks ago 1 was commu.
'iicateo with concerning the project by
a person of high authority, and I am II
near from this man further. A promi.
nent Boston house and a. prominen,
New York house have been consider,ne a
the matter for two weeks.
The Russian loan is for the Russian
railway guaranteed by the Russian
government and is asked at 3h per
cent. 1T is not especially surprising
that they come to this country, for the
United States is the cheapest money
market in the world at present. Rus
sian credit stands high, and that gov
ernment will probably get whatever
loan 1t desires in America. For a Eu-
ropean nation to negotiate loan in the
United States is reversal of the usual
order of things and new and pleasing
condition of affairs"
Lombard's Views.
Isaac G. Lombard, president of the
American National bank, said: IT hard
ly think that this country will make a
loan to Russia-at least not a large one.
There is surplus money here, but not
enough to warrant a large national
loan. America has made many foreign
loans, but not to governments. Rates
here are about as low as anywhere at
present"
Ernest G. Hamill, president of the
Corn Exchange National bank, said
There is no question that this country
is becoming so rich that it's surplus
money will seek investment abroad The
balances in it's favor are growing lar
ger, and it is accommodating wealth at a
rate that is unprecedented. Money con-
sequently is easier here than elsewhere
For this reason, though the proposition
of making a loan to a foreign govern
ment is unprecedented in this country,
1t seems natural and altogether proba-
BILE. In case such loan is made Chi
cago is in a position to provide a con-
siderable share of it,
"There is no doubt that if Russia
wants loan this would be the natural
place to seek it" said j. B. Forgan, vice
president of the First National bank
"The American money at present is the
easiest in the world. The New York
= loct oHdp1 N10 mn 000 r.,
their accumulative sueplus and the Chi
cago banks $5,0O0,000. Some of the Mex
lean states are now taking steps to bor-
row in this country. I have no knowl-
edge beyond the newspaper reports that
Russia is about to secure a loan any
where ana comment on the probability
of tine truth of that report would be
mere conjecture"

M1DDLETowN. DEL, OCT. %, 1898.
ouR ONLY ANCHOR.

The writer has never been pesslmistic
in any view of life. Especially has
his faith been firm in the political in
stitutions of the country and remains
firm, bat in the past few years our own
Delaware has had a testing, a trial,
that but for the new anchor of the New
Constitution there must have been an
archy in our State. There was quiet
political resolution as it was but the
members of the Constitutional Con-
vention caught the rock of safety, and
to say the best we still have govern
ment and without bloodshed.
The political feeling in Delaware to-
day is serious. Thoughtful men should
urge moderation and right and law and
justice. Charges are made by partisan
papers that to-day attempts will be
made to take undue advantages through
registration. This may or may not be
be true but every patriot of every party
should set his face against it. Every
guilty man should be made to suffer.
One Of the most serious conditions is
the apparent Indifference, disgust, OF
good men of both parties because OF
dishonesty, bribery, trickery. The
writer has not the strenghtb, having
been i'll recently, to enlarge upon these
matters but he believes if ever Della
wareans should do them political duty,
stamping with their v1ters the efforts
to dishonor the State, if should be on
November 9th next. The anchor of
hope is the new Constitution.
To show the political views of the
editors of partisan papers, the utter
abandon in their partisan charges the
following quotations are made:
