New York, June 1.-THE advices
from London that NJ. Rothstein, we'll.
known financier of st. Petersburg,
would soon arrive In this country. with
view to looking over the situation
here as an agent of his government and
determining whether or not large
Russian loan could be foated in the
United States, are said by leading for.
eign bankers in this city to be accurate.
Whether or not M. Rothstein shall
ultimately be successful in his mission.
however, it is not believed by promi-
nent local financiers that he will be
able to place loan of any magnitude
in the United States for the next few
months. until the presidential campaign
shall be ended.
1t may be remembered that in Feb
ruary of this year, the Russian imper-
ial government negotiated loan of
SIS, 900, 900 with a syndicate of New
York banks. trust companies an insur-
ance companies. In exchange foI
their money the syndicate receive four
per cent bonds, guaranteed principal
and interest by the Russian govern.
ment and secured by first mortgage

The loan now sought is also for rail.

street man interested in the February
operation, who said:
en-. Kothstein, president of the Rus
sian Imperial Bank of st. Petersburg,
and one of the governments trusted
agents is, have been informed, com.
ing here to get money for the Russian
trans. Caucasian railway. This is one of
the longest roads in the world and 10
not completed by any means. Money
is needed. nj. Rothstein is coming
from London here, and is going to
Washington to see the Russian minis
ter, through whom all negotiations are
to be made."
The London report also said that
large Russo. American bank might be
esta blished here as an outcome OF Nj.
Rothstein's visit, but this is regarded
by high authorities here as exceedingly
unlikely.

policy Of the Mckinley administrators, it
is difficult to see how he can consistent
ly cast bis vote TO help perpetuate this
policy. As 9 national issue, imperialism
as Senator Hoar has pictured It IN bis
speeches, should certainly be Of para
mount Importance to all other issues Of

his intention OF supporting the national

gives, as his reason for so doing, the
claim that he cannot endorse the 6nan-
