eoreiun Loans Ii The United States.

The report that Russia thinks of
making an effort to place loan in
this country gay turn out to be i'm
portant If she succeeds it will be the
first time that a great foreign power
has made negotiations of this kind
outside of Europe. Foreign loans are
usually placed in London, Paris and
Berlins LG3don has supplied most of
the capital for the borrowing nations.
Since the recent war foreigners have
been studying the United States closer
than ever, and the fact that the loan
for she war with Spain was subscribed
over and over again by our people as
tonishea Europe. Europeans know, OF
course tthat ths country is the richest.
per capita, o3sany in the world: but
that~money necessary for a war could
he raised without asking for bid from
Europe was something entirely new.
The prosperity of the United States
was not whit affected by the ex-
penditures for the war, the bills for
which will amount TO at least $500, O0G,-
600. Business is improving all the
time: our crops this year were SO large
that the railway companies have not
cars enough at present to transport the
plentiful that the rate of interest is
very low indeed This latter fact may
have much to do with the contem-
plated move on the part of Russia.
Russia has recently been collecting
gold at the rate of $50,O00,O00 or more
"a year in order to go on a gold basis,
and her treasury is nearly full enough
to make the attempt. But she needs
money for other purposes. The con-
struction of the Siberian railway which
will not be completed for two years or
more, is a considerable drain, and the
and on the frontier will require large
sums. She can probably get the money
from American capitalists at fair
rate of interest. Russia has been
friendly with the United States ever
since Mr.. Winans showed the Car how
to build railroads. We sell her loco
motives and many other supplies, and
some of the best armor in the world
for her ships of war. During the
prevalence of many rumors about co.,
lisions of powers in the East there has
been nothing developed to show that
Russia had any feeling of hostility to-
ward the United States.
When development begins in earnest
in the Philippines Americans will be
able to do more business with China
and The East generally than they have
ever done, and there is no reason why
they should not be brought in many
ways into closer commercial rela tons
with Russia. 1t is said that Japan, a
power also very friendly to us, is max
ing inquiries about loan in this coun-
try. Japan has placed several inn
portant loans since the war with China
in 1894, but always in European lands.
Americans are willing to do business
with all the nations that have the right
sort of collateral to put up for the
money they ask.

IA Portland Express reporter has
been ascertaining how some of the
leading men of ,his vicinity spend their
spare minutes, and reports: Judge
Henry c. Peabody of the probate court,
hardly gets the dust of the office from
his shoes before he is knee deep in
Civil War literature. Pick up any
stone you find in your travels and
carry it to Marquis F. King and he will
tell you to a nicely how and when 1t
got loose from the planet and in what
geological period it was born. United
States Marshal H. B. Saunders finds
his greatest delight in skimming over
the earth in unique paths. Judge
Nathan Webb of the United States
court has few fads. He is too thor
oughly devoted to his judicial and legal
duties. But he does love the classics.
Judge Andrew p Wiswell has taken 10
bicycling of late and plays a strong
hand at whist. About the only recraa-
ton Judge William l.. Putnam engages
in is the scintillating admiralty court
picnic,'' which, like Christmas, comes
but once a year. Ex-Governor Henry
b. C1eaves, one of the busiest men in
Portland, has few. if any, strong
recreative proclivities. He is fond OF
Horticulture. although he has little TINA
to devote to it. If L. f. Lamb had
been born on a rock he couldn't have
enjoyed the science of geology mora.
Ex- Mayor James p. Baxter is a gem
ealogist of the eighth magnitude. Con-
gresham Thomas B. Reed is at
home" with modern languages, par
ticularly French. Judge Thomas II.
Haskell has a mechanical as well as
judicial turn of mind. Hon. Charles F.
Libby has made electricity of late
years an absorbing topic of his leisure
moments. He has one of the best
equipped private laboratories in the
State. Judge Emery has caught the
bicycle fever, and all his spare mo-
ments in the right kind of weather he
is seen astride the silent steed.
