THAT RUSSIAN LOAN.
WHAT PROMINENT FINAN-
CIERS THINK OF 1T.
A Diversity Of Opinion, but Many
Think It Is Not
Improbable.

CHICAGO, Dec. ia number of
Chicago bankers and financiers have
been interviewed in relation to the re-
ported application of one of the Europ-
can powers for heavy loan in the Unit
ed States. Isaac c. Lombard, President
of the American National Bank, said
Il hardly 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 large
national foreign loan. America has
made many foreign loans, but not to
governments. Rates here are about as
low as anywhere at present"
Ernest A. Hamill, President of the
Corn Exchange National Bank, said:
There is no question but that this
country is becoming so rich that its
surplus money will seek investment
abroad. The balances in its favor are
growing larger, and it is accumulat ting
Money, consequently, is easier here
than elsewhere. For this reason,
though the proposition of making loan
to foreign government is unprecedent-
ed In this country, it seems natural and
altogether probable. In case such a
loan is made Chicago is in a position TO
provide considerable share of it,
There is no doubt but 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. 1.-The American money market
at present is the easiest in the world.
The New York banks last week added
S1O,O0O,O0O to their accumulated surplus
and the Chicago banks $5,O00,000. Some
Of the Mexican States are now taking
steps to borrow in this country |
have no knowledge beyond the newspa-
per reports that Russia is about to Sc
cure a loan anywhere, and comment on
probability of the truth of that report
would be conjecture"
John G. Black, President of the Con-
tinental Bank, said:
1T is as sure to come as tomorrow
that America will become a great
money lending nation, like England,

Cubans Rioting and Firing Upon
the Spaniards.

HAVANA, Dec. 1S.-The Spanish
Evacuation Commissioners Informed
the American Commissioners this ev-
ening that the Havana suburbs OF
Cerro and Jesus del Monte had been
evacuated. The Spanish troops left
Jesus del Monte at ) o'clock this even
ing, Immediately after which American n
and Cuban flags were raised crackers
We're fired and the usual demonstra-
tions made by the large crowds in
honor of the event. At the hour of fill
ing this dispatch, 8 p. M, it is re-
ported that some of the troops of the
Cuban General Menocal entered Jesus
del Monte. Probably the United States
forces will be sent there tomorrow.
The suburb of Cerro was evacuated
yesterday. About half past last ev-
class passed a barracks of engineers
on the Infanta avenue shouting Long
live Cuba," and Death to Spaini" and
firing shots into the air in celebration
of the evacuation OF Cerro. The engi-
neers did not fire, but the guard was
doubled
The crowd then passed on from the
CalZada del Monte 10 the Calzada del
CerrO, stopping the street cars and
compelling passengers to shout Viva
Cuba libre." Among the demonstrate
ors were a number of butchers who
carried pistols and knives. Jose Can
cedo and his brother, Teodoro Hue~tis,
who were in the cars were wounded
with knives. Cancedo died to-day and
Huertis will probably die. Later the
crowd met some engineers st the Es-
quina de TEXAS and fired upon them,
seriously wounding one. The engineers
returned the fire wounding a street car
conductor, civilian, Isador BasoIa s
and John Leonard a colored man.
Spanish soldiers were ordered to the
scene. While marching through Cerro
they were fired upon by men concealed
behind pillars. One Spanish private
fell wounded and the battalion fired
into the air to scare the rioters Oh re-
suming their march they were again
fired upon and another man was hit
The Spaniards then fired and dispersed
the rioters.
Among the wounded was a colored
woman and it is also reported that
there We're several others. The riot
ing caused great alarm III Cerro and
along the Calzada del Monte, where all
the houses have kept closed doors since
last night.

LADIES' SESSION.
Entertainment of the Elks Under the
 Auspices of the Fair Sex.

The press of the country has so often alluded to the stag affairs of the ElkS that it became a source of myS- tery and doubt with the ladies whether this sort of thing was to go on for ever. For some time past indications of coming storm were apparent to each member. Whisperings of dis content seem to have been heard by every Elk, for each one had a wife, sister or sweetheart. At a recent meeting the Elks consulted, ant.ci- patlng an outburst all along the line. Rather than face it they took time by the forelock and delegated MT. RedeWill to do something. Happy thought, and MT. Redewill was equal you to a ladies' social session some night and thus prevent the impending storm" And they forthwith decided upon a prompt and expeditions course A date was fixed and Messrs. A. Red ewill, Dr. J. M. Ford and J. c. Dufton went among the sisters, and last nights affair was the result.
 Whatever is done by the Benevolent Order of Elks is done well, and if for the nonce it is left to the ladies to lead in an event of pleasure the same result IS sure to follow. Not a seat was left for those who were tardy, and these had to be content with standing. The expenses must be met and the Elks took novel method of accomp- fishing that end. The politician usually shows a disposition to hang onto of
 flee. Not so with the Elks Chair men were had at a moments call and likewise an eScOrting committed Down the line each succeeding chair man called out the name of a de1in- quent Elk, who was mOmentarily sub Jected to searching inquisition, after which he was directed to interview the secretary and there deposit his portion. These proceedings continued at intervals, or were conducted be- tween each number on the entertain ment programme. When it came to MT. T. A. Jobs that gentleman was fined $5 and this was remitted on con- dition that he speak a piece Unfor- tunately he left his manuscript in his
 store clothes, but enough was caught
 in the course of his remarks to enable
 a Republican representative to smile audibly-and the audience were the others" A $10 fine was imposed upon
 Dr. Ford and poem of that value was inflicted upon the assembly. They
 accepted the doctors efforts in good part.
 1 The programme was excellent, which , included an overture by the Feuern-
 stein-Feralta orchestra; recitation by
 Mrs. Frances Field Castilla; guitar
 solo by Professor NJ. Manzo; soprano
 solo by Mrs. w. A. Freeze; harp solo,
