LACK OF sINEws OF WAR.
French Bankers Put OF Evil Day of
Lending Russia Money.
(BY the Associated Press. J


Paris, March 14.-Inquiry today at
three banks principally interested in
the proposed new Russian loan
brought the response that it had been
decided to postpone the issue. The
postponement was attributed to the
uncertainties of the war situation.
London, March 15.-( "wednesday
The revolt of the French bankers
is considered by the London newspa-
pers as the most hopeful and import
ant news of the day promising an
early conclusion of peace between
Russia and Japan. Apparently the
proposed loan has not been absolute
ly refused, but only postponed :"
This, however, is regarded here as
being tantamount to a refusal. and
is expected to speak louder to the
Russian war party even than General
Kuropatkin's reverse at Mukden 1t
is the general belief that by the death
of NJ. German, the late Governor of
the Credit Lyonaiss, Russia, lost her
strongest financial friend i'm France,
and that had he been alive no diff
Guilty would have been experienced.
With the American and English
markets closed to her it is thought
that Russia can only turn to Germany,
who is not likely to be much more re-
sponsive than France, and the only
alternative would seem to be to make
peace. Reports are current here
that Japan will now demand an in
demnity of between $500, 600, 900 and
$3.50. 100000.
