San Francisco amounted to S1,l12,500
Applications for more than $40, 200, O00

fed success.
In London, the necessary amount
was ten times subscribed in one day
II this country, applications were re-
ceived for four days. The bonds pay
per cent and are practically the same
as collateral. 1t is the second loan
secured by the Japanese since the be-
ginning of the war, but if the conflict
continues for another six months, To-
cal financiers expect this country's
capitalists viii have another oppor-

WARE TO HOLD OFFICE
TO FIRST OF THE YEAR
Commissioner of Pensions, However,
I'm His Resignation Failed to
Specify Date.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1S.-The ques-
ton was raised to-day as to the date
when the resignation of Commissioner
of Pensions Ware takes effect. The
resignation was dated November 13 and
was accepted by the President the next
day. Nither in the resignation nor III
the acceptance was any date specified
when the resignation should become
operative.
Secretary Hitchcock brought the con-
tention concerning the date of the res
ignation to the attention of the Presi-
dent at the meeting of the Cabinet and
was told by him that he had made an
Endorsement on Wares letter accept
ing the resignation TO take effect ON
January l. This has the effect of ex-
tending the Commissioner office until
the time specified in the Endorsement
Secretary Hitchcock to-day denied
the report that the resignation of Com
missioner Ware had resulted from a
lack of harmony between himself and
the Commissioner.

Likely TO Receive Order to Build ship
for Russian Government.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. 1s.-Amer-
lea is likely to profit, both directly and
indirectly, from the execution of the
large naval programme which Russia
is now celebrating.
The vital Importance of the sea
power has been Russia's bitterest les
son of the war, and the Government is
fully determined that the maintenance
Of the empires future position as a
first-ciass power will be impossible
without an adequate navy. While
some Of the contracts will be placed
abroad. owing to the limited facilities
of Russian yards (and it is expected
that az least one big ship will be con-
structed in America), the Admiraltys
plans will be directed toward ultimate
divorce from dependence upon foreign
shiDbuilders by the organization at
home of vast shipbuilding. armOr plate,
ordnance and kindred industries.
Among the Americans here negotiat
ing with the Russian Government is
J. Wilson, who is trying to sell an in
Vention of smOkeless powder
Theodore s. Darling, who has options
on the dynamite guns at San Francisco
which were recently sold by the United
