 Thomas D. Jordan.


 New York, July 20 The World to- morrow will say that the loan of s6s5, X O0O to the Equitable Life Assurance so- ciety by the Mercantile Trust company has been paid. The World says: This payment was made last Friday by former President James w. Alexan- der and former Comptroller Thomas D. Jordan, or by persons unknown for their account
 MT. Jordan, when called over the tel ephone last night at his summer home in EngleWood, refused to say a word in regard to the matter. James W. Alex ander is very i'll at a retreat near Baby lon. His attorneys, when asked con- cerning the payment, declined to make any statement.
 State Banking Superintendent F. D. Kilburn said to the World corresponds ent in Albany last night:
 "The loan was made by the Mercan- tile to James W. Alexander, president of the Equitable. and Thomas D. Jor- dan, comptroller of the same company. :"
 Was there any security" No. It was a note made by them as trustees. I ordered it paid, and it was taken up on July IA by them, or an their accounts believed that it was mixed up with the affairs of the Equi- table and should not be carried. Do you know for what purpose the loan was made, or for what the money was used?"
 T do not. MT. aJudson still is engag- ed in the examination of the Mercan- tile company's affairs. I do not know what he may have learned

BRITISH GOVERNMENT IS
 BEATEN BY THREE VOTES
SCENE OF GREAT EXCITEMENT IN
 HOUSE OF COMMONS.

Opposition Gets Majority of Three on
 Motion to Reduce the Membership of
 the Irish Land COmmissiOn-BaIfOu
 Replies COOIIy to Cries of Resign
 Will See to This at Proper Time-NOt
 Conscious of Any Humiliation.
 London, July 2O.-The government was defeated in the house of commons tonight by a majority of three on the motion to reduce the membership of the Irish land commission.
 On the announcement of the vote a scene of the greatest excitement was produced by the liberals and the Irish members yelling "Resign!"
 The incident is considered hardly of sufficient importance to justify the gov ernment in resigning, but when asked by Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman. the leader of the opposition, what course he intended to pursue, Premier Balfour declined to make a statement.
 John Redmond, leader of the Irish party, said the premier had repeatedly declared that he would resign if de- feated, and that if he disregarded this vote of want of confidence he would be acting against all precedents. Was he going to swallow this humiliation as he swallowed every other humiliation dur ing the last few years? the premier was asked by MT. Redmond.
 MT. Balfour, replying very coolly. said that Mr. Redmond had greatly ag- itated himself over a matter which could be settled in due time. He was, he said. not conscious of any humilia- ton. There would be ample opportu- nity within 8 few hours of proving whether the government still enjoyed the confidence of the majority of the house.
 The premier said he would consult his would again be submitted to a vote and would make a statement Monday.
 After some wrangling over the ques- tion whether to adjourn until Monday 1 it was decided to adjourn until to-mor- row.
 The Associated Press understands that it is practically certain the gov ernment will neither resign nor dissolve parliament.
 Sir Edward Grey's motion of censure on the government regarding the fiscal question will be discussed Monday and the ministerialists argue that it's retec- tion will prove that the government still possesses the confidence of parliament. Tt is not unlikely, however, that MT. Long, the chief secretary for Ireland, will resign.
