Poets Tranquil Evening of Life.

Swinbourne, the poet, spends his
declining years in tranquil pursuit of
the simple life, although 1t is doubtful
whether the book or the fad has ever
disturbed his peaceful retreat. A friend
says of him that he lives in possession
of his needs, Bounded on all sides by
the best books, enjoying the close COM
partnership of the truest friend ever
given TO a man of genius and finding
in a long walk at postman's pace a
full satisfaction for the body's craving
after exercise, he lives through the
twilight of his days in a greater secur-
ity and under the spell of a deeper
peace than he knew in the boisterous
dawn of his life"

FRANCE STOPS THE LOAN.
No More Money for Russia if She Per.
sists in War.

No More Money for Russia if She Per-
slsts in War.
PARASITIC postponement of the
Russian loan is definitely confirmed.
This is likely to exert a powerful in
fiuenCe towards peace as it is the first
time the French financiers have
shown an indisposition to advance
funds while the uncertainties of war
continue.
A committee representing the syn
dictate of French underwriters went
to st. Petersburg TO arrange the con-
ditions with the minister of finance
and a contract was drawn up for a
loan taking the form of treasury bonds
running seven years at 5 per cent. The
contract was then brought back to
Paris for the approval of all the I'M
derwriters.
In the meantime the disastrous
events in Manchuria naturally aroused
doubts on the part of the fnanciers
as to whether Russia would make
peace or pursue the war. The influence
of the financial elements was almost
unanimous for peace but Russia's dis
inclination to consider peace appears
to have induced the decision not to
proceed with the contract and ac-
cordingly the signing, which was ex-
pected yesterday has been postponed
and all the pending negotiations are
also postponed

 The court then continued the case, remanding the prisoners to the county jail in charge of the sheriff.
 The three points upon which Shay and Cogan based their contention that the prisoners must be released. under the laws and decisions of court are:
 FIrst-That they are not fugitiVes from justice.
 second-That the acquisition papers were signed in blank by Governor Her rick.
 Third-That when arrested there was outstanding against them no warrant bill or charge of any sort; that war rant is not retroactive; that before they can be arrested legally they must first be set free from arrest under the alleged Illegal detentions.
 The nub of their contention is that the requisition papers were not issued by Governor Herrick but by a clerk;
