LACK OF RUSSIAN FUNDS.
FRENCH MOVE FOR PEACE.
Government Influence on Bankers
.4ction Denied.

Paris, March 15.-The postponement OF the
Russian loan is definitely confirmed. ms Is
likely to exert a powerful influence toward peace
as it is the first time the French financlers nave
shown a disposition not to advance funds WINE
the uncertainties of war continue. Inc loiio"-
ing details of the postponement are from an au-
thoritative source:
A committee representing the syndicate OF
French underwriters went TO 81 Feu 1.;t o
arrange the conditions with the Minister Vi
Finance, and contract was Drawn up ~, q
500 900 600 loan, taking the form OF reasr ri
bonds running seven years at per cent; l f
contract was then brought back 10 Parls LOT

mean time the disaster in Manchurla naluIa any
aroused doubts on the part of the financlers
whether Russia should make peace or pursue ING
war The influence of the hnanclal eleIheI,o
was almost unanimous for peace, but HuksIa ,
dissemination to consider peace appears to nave
induced the decision not TO proceed VIII eIe
contract and accordingly the signing VIM. i
was expected yesterday, has been postpoheu' any
all the pending negotiations are also poStponeu'
According to the Russian view this does not
mean that negotiations have been broken Off
but merely that they are adjourned, as the
Russian authorities say the syndicate holds it
self bound towards Russia now, as before. The
circumstances of the adjournment however,
tend TO show that the syndicate inclnes to wait
for some definite development of peace before
proceeding further.
1t is authoritatively denied in the highest
Russian quarters that the French government
exercised any pressure toward preventing the
increase of French holdings of Russian securi-
ties. Nevertheless, it is probable that some
members of the government. acting individually,
voiced the prevailing view that caution was de-
slrable Since NJ. Rouvier has combined in HIM
self the Presidency of the Council of Ministers
and the Ministry of Finance the government
has indirectly exercised strong influence on
private financial affairs.
1t is significant that the postponement of the
loan is coincident with a strong movement OF
the influential French press favorable to peace.
The 'Mattn' prominently displays a statement,
believed to reflect the views of financial circles.
which declares that if Japan is ready TO adopt
a generous attitude by waving an indemnity or
the imposition of humiliation Russia, then
Russia's policy of to the bitter end will
cease. It is noticeable that some of the Russian
officials speak approvingly of the latter PROPOSE
lions. They say peace is impossible if an in
demnity humating conditions are asked, so
that the elimination of these two points would
go far toward securing favorable consideration
of peace.

URGE BREAK WITH ROME.
Deputies Ask for Speedy Separation
of Church and State.

Paris. March 15.-The report of the committee
of the Chamber of Deputies on the bill providing
for the separation of church and state was dis
tributed in the Chamber to-day. 1t presents the
relations between the church and the govern
ment since the earliest days, and says:
We maintain that the sole possible solution
for the interior difficulties growing out of the
regime of the ConcOrdat is loyal and COM
plete separation of church and state. particu-
larly under the democracy wherein the exist
ing universal suffrage and sovereignty of the
people make the continuation Of an official re-
ligiOn such defiance of logic and good sense
that it seems astonishing that the French Re-
public continued such eQuiVocal regime dur
ing the last thirty-four years.
The report says it is useless to put off the
separation until after the popular election as
such a delay would be advantageous to Rome
and dangerous to France. Moreover, a popular
election upon the subject would stir up a ceri-
cal agitation. The report adds:
In passing this law Parliament accords the
state it's just due and at the same time accords
the church what it has the right to expect,
namely, full liberty to organize. live and de-
velop according to It's means without any re-
striction save respect for the laws and public
order.

ROTHSCHILD'S VIEWS.
Banker Unable to Sag Where Rus
sia Can Get Funds.

London, March 15.-Lord Rothschild regards
the postponement of the Russian loan as tanta-
mount to a refusal the part of the French
syndicate 10 treat further He said:
After all it cannot be matter for surprise.
1t is owing to the force Of circumstances, and
not, / think, to the result of pressure on the
part of the French government in the interests
Of peace. Between S2,5O0O00O00 and $1,000
100000 Of French money is invested in Russia.
There is nothing more natural at the present
time with the affairs Of Russia in the state that
they are. both at home and abroad, than that 1t
should become difficult at last TO find SUBJ
scribers in France to another Russian loan.
That is all. ] think it is force of circumstances
and not pressure tending to peace on the part of
the French government. The French know that
TO continue the war revolution in Rus
STA, and that to cease it now under the present
conditions means a revolution.
Lord Rothschild thought it was difficult TO
say where Russia would find the money TO con-
tinue the war.

Minneapolis. March 15-Japan has sent orders
to this city for immense quantities of flour,
enough to supply the fifty thousand prisoners

doubtful whether the demand can be supplied.
A few days ago company was asked for a
price fifty thousand sacks, which was quick

made at stated periods between now and June l.
These shipments will aggregate for this one firm
over two hundred thousand sacks.
The Consolidated Milling Company sold twen-

CULLOM AND TELLER CLASH.
Colorado Senator Introduces Dominican Res
olution of Inquiry.


Washington, March 15.-when the Senate met
to-day there was an interesting hurry over 10
minican affairs.
Mr. Teller introduced a resolution OF inquiry
asking the State Department for all informa-
ton concerning relations with the Dominican
government between July 1. 1904. and March i.
1905.
The reading Of the resolution had scarcely be-
gun when MIR. Cullom objected to further read
ing, saying that the matter pertained to execu-
tive session business. and should not be read
in open session.
1.-THE Senator cannot take me off the floor,
declared Mr. Teller ST deny the right of the
Senator to interrupt the reading of the resolu-
ton"
Mr.. CuIom maintained that he had a right
to inquire into the nature Of the resolution to
ascertain If it belonged to open session or to
executive business.
You cannot prevent the reading of the
luton" asserted Mr.. Teller. warmly.
Mr.. Kean suggested to Mr.. Cullom that he
move to proceed to the consideration of execu-
tive business but Mr.. Teller had the floor. and
was still insisting that his resolution should be
read.
Commence at the beginning and read it ALL"
directed Mr.. Teller and the clerk did so. The
resolution follows:
Resolved That the Secretary of State is here
by directed to send to the Senate for use in
executive sessions copies of the instructions
given to Commodore Dillingham; and Minister
Dawson, or either of them regarding Dominican
affairs, and copies Of all correspondence and
kilograms relating to Dominican affairs,
lating to any proposed agreement, protocol or
treaty between the United States and San Do
mingo from July /, 1904, to March 1, 1905.
II object to its present consideration" said
Mr. Cullom, promptly
THAT is the right of the Senator" said Mr..
Teller. II wanted this resolution to go the
public records. The information asked may be
sent to the Senate for use in executive session
if the President so desires. 1t is a part of the
public records, and not a part of the secret
archives of the government. know that any
Senator or Representative can have access to
it, but want it for the use OF the Senate"
The Senate at 1910 went into executive ses-
sion, and at $40 p. m. adjourned until noon to-
morrow.

FATAL COLLISION IN FOG.
Conductor Of Belated Local Train
Killed by Express at Stamford.

Conductor Of Belated Local Train
Killed by Express at Stamford.
Stamford. Conn. - George Rowland,
of Mount Vernon, n. Y, conductor OF
the accommodation train from New
Haven due to leave Stamford at T.15
and arrive in the Grand Central Station
at 8.35, was instantly killed in a COLI
sion at the Stamford station at 7.15 the
other evening while a dense fog pre-
vailed.
The collision occurred between the
Boston Express, which is due to arrive
in New York City at 7.59. and the ac-
commodation train. The express
crashed into the ear of the accommo-
dalton just as the latter was about to
be backed out of the station to leave
the track clear for the express. Con-
ductor Rowland was on the second last
car of the train and was leaning out
signaling to his engineer. The last car
was driven into the car in front. and
the conductor was crushed to death in
stantly.
The accommodation was about
fifteen minutes late. Nearly all the
passengers then got off, many Of them
to take the express which was follow
ing. The signals were placed against
the express. and as an extra precaution
two torpedoes were placed on the
tracks at the Atlantic street bridge,
which is about 100 yards from the sta
ton. When the torpedoes exploded the
express had already slowed down. ow-
ing to the stop to be made at Stamford,
hut the engineer was unable to stop
until he had struck the accommodation
train. 49, ~
a, passenger on the accommodation
named Joseph Seyinski was injured
about the head.
