NEW RUSSIAN LOAN WILL BE IMMEESE The Plan is 10 Float About
 S36O,OOO,00O GERMAN RETURN Is GREAT Deterioration of the Status of the lm- perlal Bank Is Estimated
 at Not Less Than
 $1s5,75o,ooo.
GERMAN RETURN IS GREAT

Paris. October 3-The bankers and oth-
 CT fnanciers are now discussing the oe-
 tails of the new Russian loan, the hrst announcement of which was given Ill these dispatches eight days ago. The Temps, referring to the subject this evening, says;
 "It is understood that committee of bankers and representatives or nhah- cial institutions recently discussed the conditions of a now Russian loan, decid- ing that should the loan occur simul,a- neously in France. England, the united States and Holland, the amount demaho- ed would be 1,SOO, ,0oO0OO francs (s36o,ooO,- ooO, half being reserved for the French market Should. however, diHicuites arise owing to the differences in the quotations of Russian rentes in the Vari- ous countries named, thereby prevent ing an agreement with reference to the issue the loan would be placed entirely in France, but the amount then would only be about one billion francs C2OO,- 00o000).
 The rate of interest it is said will be per cent with an approximate issue price of 800. The Russian government requested French bankers and other oih- cers to send representatives to St Pe- tersburg immediately with full powers to arrange details. The Issue Will propa- bly, occur at the end of last October.

Return Breaks All Records.

Berlin, October 3.-The return of the Imperial Bank of Germany issued today breaks all previous records by far. The outgo proves to have been much heavier that the highest anticipations of the market, and the deterioration or the status amounts to not less than Sloo,- 75O, 600.
 Herr Koch, president of the bank today in imposing an advance in the rate or discount from to per cent, informed the central committee that the pressure at the end of the quarter was the great est ever experienced.
 The liabilities. he said, had been ih- creasing with but slight interruptions since the middle of the year. and the out lay In discounts and advances on treas ury bills now reached $416, 100000, which was the highest in the history Of the in- stitution and $5S, 100000 above l9o4. Ihe metal stock was the smallest since the end of September, 1900, while the banks
 uncovered notes now reached S25ooo'oVo
 the highest ever known The metallic covering notes had sunk to 431a per cent but the rates of exchange would not per nit the exportation of gold. Conditions at other money centers | President Koch said. suggested a eau ! tious advance of the rate by full per cent, which was necessary for the
 protection of the bold stock. President Koch pointed out that owing to the unprecedented pressure upon the bank yesterday the first weekly return for October would not show much inn improvement since the liquidation of bills
 would be counterbalanced by the with drawals of deposits therefor, and 1t would not be advisable to wait until the next return before making up the rate. The situation here Is partly due to heavy ,y..tt aud prAu I rrnf Koch plainly intimates that the action of the Imperial bank today was intended to put a brake upon excessive specula- tiOn.

BOWEN REPORTS
 HIS SIDE OF CASE
QUOTES CORRESPONDENCE TO SHOW THAT HE HAD SECRE- 1ARY HAYS FRIENDSHIP UP TO TIME OF HIS DEATH.

Hartford, Conn, October 3.-Herbert w. Bowen, former American minister to Venezuela. tonight issued the following statement:
 woodstock, Conn, October S.-ln an swer to the letters that were exchanged recently between President Roosevelt ana MT. Loomis in regard to MT. Hay and published in yesterdays papers, l have to say only this:
 After I had sent to Washington all of the documents which l found in the legation at Caracas relating to MT. Looms I received letter from MT. Hay stating:
 "I have been greatly surprised and pained In reading the documents you sent me-
 "The following month he wrote me a letter containing these friendly words:
 "I have always taken your part not only from personal liking, but from a conviction of your merits. your ability your courage, and your integrity
 From high official of the department of state I received a letter written this last April stating:
 "'Secretary Hay remains a staunch friend"
 Prom the same official I have in my possession letter dated July 8, 1905, (eighteen days after I was dismissed from the diplomatic service by President RoosevelD stating:
 T had few words with MT. Hay to- day before he left Washington for New Hampshire and he spoke of MT. Bowen in the same kindly and affectionate manner he always did,
 Every one who knew MT. Hay knows that he could not possibly have been a friend to a man like Mir. Loomis, and that no power on earth could have in- duced him to denounce as a traitor an American official who refused to shield corruption.
 ''In conclusion-in order to show Pres- adent Rooseyet's attitude toward MT. Loomis-I will simply quote my last re- mark to him, and his to me In the pres ence of witnesses the day he dismissed me:
 " MT. President. you will remember that after I sent to you all the informa ton I had about MT. Loomis you offered me a promotion that was intended to lead to an ambassadorship.'
 "'Well.' he answered, I would have done great deal to hush the scandal
