RUSSIA HARD UP.
Trying to Raise Loan In Germany,
Having Failed Elsewhere.

BERLIN, Nov. 13.-It is stated on the
highest authority that DIR. Won Miguel
Prussan minister of finance, had long
conference yesterday with Emperor Will
liam. 1t appears that one of the chief
subjects discussed during the visit of
Emperor Nicholas last week was the
raising of another Russian loan in Ger
many, Russia having failed to effect one
anywhere else in Europe. This explains
why DIR. Won Miguel was present Wcdnes-
day evening, along with Count Won Blu
low and Count Muravieff. the German
and Russian foreign ministers. at the in
terview between the car and the kaiser
Emperor William, it is definitely as
serted, made no promise to the car in
the matter, leaving it understood that
whether the German government would
favor another Russian loan here or not
depended largely upon DR.. Won Miquel'S
answer, prepared at Emperor Williams
request
In the meantime DIR. Won MIGUEL con-
suited with the leading German fnan-
ciers nearly all of whom discouraged the
proposal, as they have been reliably in
formed that the Transsiberian railroad is
likely to prove far more expensive than
is generally surmised. Moreover, Rus
sian financial crash is expected soon.
Yesterday DR.. Won Miguel reported to
this effect to the kaiser. and it may be
considered certain that the proposed loan
here has failed

THE KENTUCKY COUNT.
Result StiII Uncertain, with odds
FavOring Taylor.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. Nov. 10. - The
second week of uncertainty regarding the
result of the baloting for governor of
Kentucky begins with little prospect of
an immediate definite result. The official
count has been in progress two days, and
official returns from large majority of
the 119 counties have narrowed the con-
test down to a nose finish.
Each side claims the election of ITS
ticket. but the estimated plurality of Ell
their does not exceed 1900. While the
returns so far received favor Taylor, the
result of the count may hinge on the deci-
sion given by the county election com
missioners in several places where con-
tests have been begun on the ground of
alleged Irregularities.
One of these contcsts-that in Nelson
county-has been decided adversely to
the Republicans. 1t involves lbs votes,
nearly as many as either side claims as
its plurality.
The Democrats will contest the votes
of some of the mountain counties, which
return large Republican pluraites. The
most important county involved is Knox,
which gave Taylor 1,39S plurality. There
are also contests in three precincts in
Louisville which went Republican.
In any event, it is difficult to see how a
bitter contest before the legislature and
the courts can be avoided.

ANOTHER WAR CLOUD

STA Very Soon.
CARS ENCROACHMENTS RESENTED
Russia Tries to Raise n Loan In Ger
many with Slight Prospect of Sue
cess-Japancse Watch African
Struggle with Interest.

VICTORIA, b. c., Nov. 13.-That the
rumors of the serious situation between
Russia and Japan are not exaggerated
seems certain from news received here.
The North China Daily News says:
$50 greatly excited were the Chinese of
the north by rumors of an impending
war between Russia and Japan that
many merchants, both Chinese and Japa-
nese, who are doing business in New
chwang, Port Arthur and Chefu have
sent their families to Shanghai and else
where in the south for safety.
1T is believed Japan rather courts the
struggle, as she is now second only to
England in naval strength and for years
has viewed the encroachments of Russia
with resentment and alarm.
Iii Hung Chang, in an interview given
to an American correspondent at Picking
on the Philippine question, blames the
United States for departing from its ira
ditional policy, saying that had General
Grant lived the country would never
have entered upon the policy that he ND
prophesied would be disastrous to the
United States. He said China would
not object to America enlisting several
regiments of Chinese to fight the Flipi-
nos if they were enlisted in the Philip
pines and with the knowledge and con-
sent of the Chinese consul here. "

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE paucity of
news from the front still leaves the chief
interest centcrcd in the arrival of the re-
endorsements. Estcourt dispatches say
that Photograph communication has been
established with Ladysmith. but so far
no news has been received. the latest
date being Nov. 6, which shows that the
occupants of Lady smith had no news of
the outside world since General French
reached Pietcrmaritzburg and that they
were puzzled at the inactivity of the
Beers. Every one was confident and
cheerful, but all were suffering the incon
veniences of the siege bread selling at 3
shllings per loaf.
Colonel -Powcll's dashing sorties
at Mafcking encouraged the hope that
the British garrisons along the western
border are well able to hold out. Mr. Ce
Gil Rhodes is employing 5000 men, white
and black, at Kimberley in road making
as Il remedy for destitution.
According to a dispatch from De Aar,
the Doors at Kimberley have got the OK
act range of the mines and are constantly
throwing shells at the dynamite huts
Several of the latter have been blown up,
and the damage done to the mines al
ready amounts to many thousands of
pounds.
Among the stories from Brussels is one
that General Joubcrt and Sir George
White have been cndcavoring to negoti-
ate for the capitulation of Ladysmith,
but have failed to come to terms.
Lord Salisbury and Lord Wolseley
