Paris, April 10.-The authorities here are satisfied that the Russian second Pacific squadron will not seek to put into Saigon, French Cochin-C China, as the shallow harbor does not permit of the entrance of deep-draught warships.

course OF ttme and indirectly the frank ex-
change OF opinions and views which has
been had cannot but bear beneficial conse-
uuences
Prior to the conference NJ. witte author
lied the statement that he did not intend
to discuss the question OF a loan or money
matters at the conference:
Mr. Strauss at the same time said:
We have come here on very simple mis-
sion conference was arranged by NJ.
Witte, who desired to confer with us re
garding the condition OF Jews In Russia and
to discuss with him how best to improve
this condition and to give them the same
rights as other Russian subjects have. This
is In no way involved with any financial
question.
A Question of Humanity.
1T is purely and simply a question of
humanity. and the belief on our part that
equal rights among all the subjects OF Rus
sla will promote the best interests OF that
empire.
Il would further say that the Russian
Jewish question must be settled in Russia.
Emigration. no matter how large II may be.
can only effect the outer surface. NJ. White.
l have understood. has seen with his own
eyes while In this country the progress that
has been made among the Russian emil
grants to America, and what he has seen
cannot fail to have an influence upon him
in indicating the way to make the Russian
Jews helpful in the upbuilding of sSatE.m-
pire.
II regard the whole question as a very
simple one. II only Involves giving all the
subjects Of the emperor equal rights. That
I regard as fundamental"
Rumors of q Loan
Whatever may be said TO the contrary. II
Is reported at Portsmouth there Is every
reason to believe that NJ. Witte is making
arrangements to raise money for Russia,
and that he desires to secure the co-opera-
ton of the Jewish bankers to that end
There has been correspondence on the sub
ject between Kuhn, Loeb & Co, and those
who are on the inside here are aware that
NJ. White is seeking to lay the foundation
for obtaining the means with which to sat
isfy the demands of Japan.
The shrewdness of his course Is obvious
If by promises to make less onerous the
burden imposed upon the Jewish subjects of
the car he secures the respect and graft
tude of the great Jews of the world, to raise
money would be comparatively easy But
1t must be raised to purchase peace, not
to continue the war.
