night he abandoned the Fan river
positions, leaving SO hurriedly that
he again was obliged to burn his
stores to prevent them from falling
into the hands OF the Japanese.

PEACE SUGGESTIONS IGNORED.
German Government Informed That

suggestions and is unshaken in his resolu-

officers of the far eastern army recently
Joined in a petition to Emperor Nicholas
not to consider peace asking that they be
given other opportunities to show the quail
ity of Russian vaIor, and representing that
although they have retreated, they and the
army still have the will to fight.
Emperor Nicholas decision had already
been taken, and the army's appeal only
added to his conviction that Russia still
had resources of character that would
stand more beating before surrender be-
came necessary

that if foreign credit We're denied her
Russia would find money at home. The
gold stock in the imperial bank would
alone suffice for many months, and, as
sisted by expedients the finance minister
had not yet employed, this would suffice
for years.
Relative Value of Bonds.
However there was no question yet Of
touching the gold stock. Russia's bonds,
IL was stated stood on the Berlin and
Paris bourses at twice the price of United
States bonds during the low ebb of the
civil war. The finance minister is repre-
sented as saying that Russia could get
abundant loans even in England if she
was willing to accept a low price. AS for
