RUSSiA'S BAD LUCK.
Army Organ Lays Bare the Enormou:
Losses Sustained in War.

Stung by the wholesale criticism
lately heaped upon the war Office for
its unpreparedness and incapacity in
providing the Manchurian army ~.,;l
men, guns and munitions, the Russian
army organ lays bare what has been
done since the opening Of hostilities,
giving the exact figures. From these
it appears that up 10 March IL the
war Office has dispatched 13,0S7 Off,
GERS, 761,457 men, 146,4OS horses, 1,52!
guns and 716,321 tons Of munitions
and supplies to the front, declaring
the trans portation strained the 81
berian railroad to it's utmost capac-
ity.
It is denied that the war Office was
deceived in regard to the available
strength of the Japanese army or the
organization of the Japanese reserves,
but the army organ frankly admits
that the talents of the officers and the
wonderful spirit of the soldiers were
miscalculated.
The publication Of this article has
created a sensation among military
men in public circles, many OF the
former censuring the general staff
for disclosing valuable military Sc
crets, and the latter finding from the
figures a practical admission that the
war has cost half a million men In
killed, wounded, prisoners and sick,
as the whole force in the Far East
is now believed not to exceed 100000
men,

CASH FOR THE JAPS.
Great War Loan Of $4,000, 900 A.
ranged for in England and Amor
ica-Signs Of Peace Increase.

ranged TOR IN England anu AHo'-
ica-Signs Of Peace Increase.
The final details Of the Japanese
loan were concluded In London Fri
day. with the exception Of the exact
date of issue. This has not yet been
decided, but it will not be delayed.
The amount is 15O,oOo,ooO, with In
terest at 4 IL per cent.
The price Of issue is 80, and the
security will be the next receipts OF
the tobacco monopoly OF Japan.
amounting to $1e,Ooo,o00, according to
the budget for the next fiscal year.
The loan will be issued simultaneous
ly in New York and London, each OF
these cities taking $75,060,000.
The American issuing banks are
Kuhn, Loeb & Co., and others partic-
ipatlng In the previous loan, while
the British half Of the loan is handled
by the group of banks which was re-
sponsible for the earlier fotations.
The loan Is redeemable after five
years. Some subscription Is expected
in Holland and Switzerland.
It is said in London that although
German banks exhausted every effort
to secure participation in the lean,
they have been vigorously excluded,
as the Japanese found no difficulty In
finding the amount required In New
York and London.
Korretyo Katashi, special Japanese
financial commissioner, informed the
Associated Press that the $50, ,000, 900
would suffice for Japanese require
ments for a year or year and .
half, at the expiration Of which time
the war will be over.
A Paris dispatch says: The pros
poets Of peace between Russia and ia
pan assumed a more definite and al
most tangible aspect Friday, as the
result of the announcement Of the
resumption Of negotiations for a Rus
sian loan.
The postponement Of the loan oc-
turred through the stand taken BY
the financial element against proceed
ing while the uncertainties OF war
continued, while a willingness to re-
sumo negotiations was construed as
meaning that their strong influence
finally has prevailed vita the authori-
ties at st. Petersburg.
It seems to be the accepted view OF
fnanciers that the proceeds Of the
loan will not be applied to the FUR
ther' continuance Of the war.
It Is understood that one Of the In
ducements to resumption Of the me-
gotiations was that considerable por-
ton of the proceeds shall remain IN
France for the purpose OF meeting
the interest coupons Of other loans.
and that the placing Of contracts Tor
government supplies will be required
even after the conclusion Of hoshi
tiles.
Coupled with the announcement OF
resumption Of the loan negotiations,
came a strong intimation from ohicial
and diplomatic quarters that steps
looking toward peace had been deh-
nitely taken by Russia. The foreign
Office declined to confirm q report
that France was likely to be the IN.
termediary; but diplomats who are ac-
lively interested for the first time
eave credit to the statement that
Russia had decided to seek peace.

NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-The stock mar

stocks receding again toward the early
figures. while others, including Tennes-
see Coal and Iron. American Cotton
OIL, and other industrials, advanced
fractionally. Business was only mod

Commission houses were sellers in the
first few minutes and on pressure from
this source some losses were sustained,
but support appeared at once, and the
market steadied.
Reading sold at 1884. then advanced
to 1854. There was urgent demand for
the stock in the loan crowd. one broker
alone lending 10000 shares to scattered
borrowers.
London did not trade much either
way. Brokers active in Steel said that
fully 10000 shares are wanted at 81,
while big blocks OF the preferred were
bid for at 1041s.
The trading was influenced almost
wholly by the election uncertainty and
TO the money situation, the call rate
rising 10 per cent. The tone OF the
market. although not weak, was fever
ish and uncertain. Government bonds
Were unchanged; railroad bonds firm.
