New York, Aug. 4.-Plans are afoot
to float a Russian loan in America and
conferences with this object in view al
ready have been held. says the Herald.
between Sergius White, the Russian
senior peace envoy, and representatives
of one or two Of Wall streets most
prominent banking firms and lnstltu-
tions
If MI. White finds that he is able
to obtain a loan in the United States,
and it is believed by prominent, fnan-
ciers that if the terms are satisfactory
he can do so, the aspect Of the Russian
cause may be materially chang ed when
the peace plenipotentiaries make known
their, propositions to each other.
Heretofore it has been believed that
no Russian loan could be foated in this
country unless it were based on ces
sation of the war and the promise of
internal reforms in Russia. Information
was given Mr.. Witte last night. how
ever, that indicated the willingness of
at least one, and possibly two. promi-
nent banking houses to consider the
terms which Russia would pay for nego-
tiating loan.
Gregory Wilenkin, the financial agent
of the Russian government, said today:
| The statement in today's papers to the
| effect that Mr.. Witte is sounding Ameri-
can financiers with a view to the placing
of new Russian loan in the Unitetd
States is wholly without foundation. Mr..
Whites visit to Wall street yesterday was

] that he had interviews whit some lead

st. Petersburg, Aug. "A personal
friend OF M. Witte says the Russian
plenipotentiary is determined to con
clude peace. He will find way of re-
conciling Japan's demands with the
exigencies Of Russian prestige. On the
other hand, it is learned that ever since
M. Whites departure, his enemies have
been intriguing fercel y against him and
have succeeded in re-establishing the
war sentiment at Peterhof
1t was not a mere coincidence that
the meeting between the car and EN-
peror William, and the meeting of the
grand council at Peterhof occurred in
Wltte s absence without his previous
knowledge or advice.
1t also is noteworthy that the or
ganic statute for a national assembly,
if decided. upon, will be promulgated
while Russia s greatest statesman is out
of the country. The explanation must
be sought in Whites efforts to intro
duce, or at least to prepare, for con-
stitution which a vast majority of even
the liberal statesmen oppose. Indeed,
only two members Of the grand council
share Whites views, but neither of
them is willing to WELD his influence
against the majority. One is Count
Solsky: The other is Governor General
Trepoff. The latter's conversion is
quite recent, but it is an undisputed
fact that it is bound, sooner or later,
to have startling consequences.

Arriving at Oyster Bay about noon,
the "peace squadron will anchor, its
arrival being loudly heralded by the
firing OF an ambassadorial salute Of
nineteen guns for each mission, from
the Galveston, Mayhower and Dolphin,
which will be in waiting to convey the
plenlpotentiaries to Portsmouth.
Salute for the President.
MI; Peirce, on@eaving the ship, will
board the Mayfower and will await the
arrival of the president. The president
will board the Mayfower about 1
o'clock. He will be given the presiden
tlal salute Of twenty-one guns from all
the vessels in the harbor, and as soon
the Japanese ipotentiaries will come
on board from the Tacoma and be pre-
sented by Assistant Secretary Peirce.>
= Half an hour later the Russian ENJOYS
will come aboard and be presented. IN
mediateiy the president will formally
present the Russian and Japanese plenl-
potentiaries to each other. A buffet
luncheon in the cabin of the Mayfower
will follow. By this arrangement the
the place Of honor at the PRESIDENT s
right at table is avoided.
After the luncheon the Japanese mis-
sion will take leave Of the president
and board the Dolphin. MIR. Peirce will

president will then take leave Of the
Russian mission and go ashore, again re-
ceiving a salute OF twenty-one guns.

the Japanese on the Dolphin will sail
for Portsmouth. The squadron will
steam slowl y, SO as not to arrive there
before 10 o'clock Monday morning.
DESTROYS Of being strictly neutral in
all the arrangements for the presenta
ton, it was decided at the outset by
the Washington government that the
president would recognize no precedence
based on successes in the present war.
Because Baron Komura was presented
at Sycamore Hill almost a week before
M. Witte arrived in this country it was
decided that for this reason Baron Ko-
mura must take precedence over M.
Witte. This, however, will be recog-
nized only in the half hour 8 difference
in the time of the presentation OF the
two missions.
The question as to which ship should
be assigned to the Russians and which
to the Japanese to take them to Ports
mouth solved itself. The servants on
the Dolphin are Japanese; those on the
Mayhower are Chinese.
M. Witte spent yesterday seeing New
York. After visiting Central park,
