LOAN POSTPONED
Paris, March 16.-The runior that
the Russian loan has been postponed
is defentely confirmed. It isthought
this is good peace indication. The
French bankers have been the most
eager of the worlds fnanciers to as
sist in floating Russian loans, and
their action will be looked upon as
something of portential importance.
TO BOUNCE KUROPATKIN.
St. Petersburg, March 16.-Pur-
suant to the Council of War, Grand
Duke Nlcholavitchwill replace General
Kuropatkin, with General Soukhoum-
linof as chief of staff.
GRIPPENBURG JUSTIFIED.
st. Petersburg, March 16.-The
council has decided that General
Grippenberg's action, during the
battle at the Shake river, was justi-
fed. Grippenberg was recalled, at
Kuropatkin's request, because having
advanced further than he was ordered
he was beaten back when his call for
support went unanswered.
The Gar today ordered the mobil-
ization of troops in four districts.
The report is current that Kuro-
patkin will turn over his command to
Linovitch until the new commander
in-chief, Grand Duke Nicholavitch
arrives.
RUSSIA CAN GET MONEY.
London, March, 16.-The reports
that the Russians will not be able to
float loan seem to emanate from ir-
responsible sources, and to get undue
prominence. Stories that the Rus
slams are getting near to bankruptcy
are considered impossible. The
French financiers, even the Japanese
legation officials here say that Rus
sia can get all the money she wants.

The People Have Spoken.

A wave of reform has passed over
the country as it has in the past, re-
sulting in the defeat of Mr.. Plummer
in this state, Gov. Herrick in Ohio and
other candidates. Possibly it is for
the best. The people mostly Republi-
cans, believed the false reformers and
did their bidding. When the aid is
laid bare" the people will see what
dupes they have been. Then Pennsyl-
vania will right itself and roll up an
old time Republican majority. The
Republicans will clean house them
selves, not waiting for Reiormer Berry.

combination of all the ring tricks now.
being practiced,
Russell borrows ring from
lady in the audience and carries il on
his magic Wand to little mortar on
the stage. The magician then pounds
1t into hard shapeless mass which is
rammed down the barrel of revolver.
The pistol is shot at a mehogany
cabinet on a stand twenty foot distant.
During this process the owner of rings
usually becomes considerably alarmed
and as the magician seems to have for
gotten the ring or is slow in proceeding
with his trick, reminds him of the fact
that her jewelry has not been re-
turned. Russell goes to the cabinet
and unlocking it takes out a series of
boxes, one within the other. In the
last box the ring is found securely tied
to handsame bouquet of roses. This
pretty trick never tails to bring forth
hearty and appreciativo applause.
