RUSSIA'S NEED OF MONEY,
Negotiations Made for Domestic
Loan of 100000.

st. Petersburg. March 17.-An internal credit
loan of $1O0O00,O0O on a per cent basis is
being negotiated by the Ministry OF FL
nance. The loan will be foated probably In a
short time. The issue price has not been fixed
but probably will be 93 to 80. It was said at
the Ministry that the issue OF this loan was en-
tirely independent of the French negotiations,
which have not yet been concluded. DOMESTIC
rentes will be issued for long term and will
as in the case of the internal credit loan not
be subject to the obligations of foreign loans.
The payment of the interest and principal will
be in gold and probably will be taxable.
The determination Of the government to turn
to Russia itself for funds was taken only re-
Gently. Yesterday the Minister of Finance con-
ferred with number Of the principal bankers
Of st. Petersburg and Russia generally and re-
ceived assurance that the project was feasible.
The banks are prepared to underwrite the loan
suitable terms. The Government Savings
Bank, it is said, will assume $25.000.0OO of the
total, and such banks the Moscow Merchants
and the Volga and the Kama well able to
underwrite large portions of the loan from their
own resources

British Correspondents See No

London March 1S-No further news regard

The greatest sympathy is expressed by the
British press and public for General Kuropat-
kim and there is strong criticism Of the curt
manner of his dismissal without a word of

considered to have been. to a large extent. g.

OF former Viceroy Alexeff and the grand ducal
party and never to have had free hand or

nothing is hoped for from the appointment Of
General Linevitch, whose task is admitted TO be
almost superhunan.

THROWS DOUBT ON FLOOD.
DR.. Foote, of Johns Hopkins, Talks
on Higher Criticism.
[Bx TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE. ]

Baltimore. March 17.-Dr. Theodore Foote
professor of Biblical literature at Johns Hop
kins University. in an address to-day on Stud
les in Higher Criticism" threw doubt the
story of the Flood. He said:
The first result of Biblical research the
discovery that the first five books ascribed to
Moses are, in fact. composite in origin. II this
be true, it follows that the traditional view of
verbal inspiration, for which there has never
been any valid ground must give way to a
truer belief. A second result is the ability to
estimate at their proper value the narratives
having cOunterparts in earlier literatures; for
instance the early narratives of Genesis such
as the Paradise story and the Flood narrative.
So long as Is tied to verbal inspiration these
accounts must be historically true, but from
broader conception can see moral utility
in these narratives which is quite independent
OF their historical accuracy
