BIG AMERICAN LOAN.

Capitalists 10 Comp eie a Railroad.

Ignoring Berlin, London, Paris and
other European banking centers, the
Russian Imperial Government has come
to New York for loan. A syndicate
of financial institutions OF that city
banks, trust companies and insurance
companics--havc Just arranged the pur-
chase of an issue of $25,ooo,ooo Of
per cent bonds, representing first
mortgage on the Wladikawkas railway
system, The principal and interest OF
these bonds is guaranteed by the Rus
sian Government and is payable in
American gold dollars at the New York
Security and Trust Company.
The nature and size OF this loan and
the disclosure which it makes OF this
country's present position as financial
power Of the world Is its most interest
ing feature. Another is the surprising
showing il reveals as to Russia's pur-
chascs in the American market OF iron,
steel, coal and finished machinery. Be
sides, there is the interesting fact OF n
gold loan, guaranteed by one OF the
European powers selling in the Ameri-
can market at price which nets the
syndicate slightly more than 4 per cent.

ANGLO.RUSSlAN AFFAIRS SERIOUS.
England Is Not Gathering Troops for The
Boers Alone.

The dominant note in adviccs from
St Petersburg is the seriousness OF the
Anglo Russian question in Central Asia,
particularly on the border of Afghan
istan. A private letter from the Russian
capital received at Berlin states that
ST. Petersburg thinks that the continu-
Gus war preparations in England are
directed not only against the Beers, but
have also for their object the sending,
il necessary, of an English army from
South Africa to the Persian gull and
Central Asia.
This suppostion is strengthened by
dispatches saying that Joseph Chamber
lain, the British colonial secretary. has
qucried the Canadian and Australian
colonial governments as to what num-
Der OF troops they could send to South
Africa in case the British forces now
there should be withdrawn. England
will soon have almost a quarter of mil
lion seasoned troops in the field and the
Russian government is keeping a sharp
eye on this fact. The question therefore
is just how long will England with this
force at her command 10 strengthen her
powerful Indian lcvies, continue to ac-
cept Russia's assurance that her concen-
tration of troops on the Afghan frontier
is only experimental or that the push
ing OF her power southwark to the Per-
sian gulf and Afghan is purely pacific
development of her commercial policy
