The report In circulation to the effect that
Russia was about 10 open negotiations with a
view to securing a loan in New-York is not
credited in financial circles here. The Russian
government, it is learned made similar over
lures unsuccessfully about six months ago.
A few days ago representatives of the Japan
csc government conferred with New-York bank
ers respecting the feasibility of projected effort
by Japan to float large loan here making no
secret of the fact that the money. if secured
might be used for war purposes. These negotia-
tons also were unsuccessful
International bankers here are substantially
unanimous in the opinion that all other consid-
eratons being eliminated. domestic financial
needs make any sort of a foreign loan imprac-
ticable at this time
In February, 1902 1t was reported that the
japanese government was negotiating for a, loan
here, but nothing ever came of the movement

MAY ASK FOR CERTIFICATE

Auditor Garrison today held up the
bond OF Harry B. Davis, Inspector OF

taken, will necessitate many altera-
tions in the bonds OF officers OF the Dis
trict. Mr.. Davis bond is for s.. 600. and
is assumed by Baltimore bonding COM
pany Auditor Garrison says:
while 1t is known, from information
accompanying bonds filed by this COM
pany. that Il is authorized to do bust
ness in the District. and that it's finan-
cial standing has been duly examined
and attested. II is believed that in cases
where bonding companies become sure
ties on bonds TO the government OF the
District of Columbia. they should fur
nish with the bonds certificate from
the Attorney General as TO the
suficiency of the company, and in ad-
dition, a duly attested copy of thell
financial statements. as well as q GER
tificate of authority showing that the
officers OF the company are authorized
to sign bonds on behalf OF the com
pany"
Commissioner West has the mattel
under consideration.
The bond of Auditor Garrison does no
comply with the requirements he in
