NEW RUSSIAN LOAN.
Said 1t Will Be Arranged Within Ten
DAYS.

st. Petersburg, March 16.-At the
ministry of finance it was said during
the day that the negotiations for a
new Russian loan of $l25,000, ,000 in
France are expected to be concluded
and signed in Paris in ten days. The
representatives Of the Credit Lyon
naise and Banque de Paris at Des
Pays Bas, who have been here in con-
nection with the negotiations left st.
Petersburg Tuesday. II is pointed out,
however, that this does not mean that
the negotiations are broken off, the
same procedure having been observed
in the case of the $4,000 900 loan
last spring when, after negotiations at
st. Petersburg, the representatives re,
turned to Paris, where the contract
was signed within a fortnight Never
theless the Associated Press is in a
position to assert that the Paris finan-
ciers have been pressing for peace,
justifying their attitude on the ground
of the enormous French commitments
In Russian funds and these representa-
tions have been renewed since the
news of General Kuropatkin's defeat.

TAKES KUROPATKIN'S PLACE
GRAND DUKE NICHOLAS NiCHO-
LAEViTCH TO BE NEW RUS
SIAN COMMANDER.

ST. Petersburg, March 16.-It is now
definitely stated that Emperor Nicho-
las has approved the decision of the
council of war to send Grand Duke
Nicholas Nicholaevitch to replace
General Kuropatkin as the best means
of putting stop to the intrigues and
jealousies among the generals of the
army both in st. Petersburg and at
the front. General Soukhomlinoff will
be chief of staff.
While no further dispatches have
been received from the front to show
whether the renewal of the fighting

BROOKLYN CAB MYSTERY.
Woman Found Dead and Man in Un-
conscious Condition.

New York, March 16.-The body of
q woman who had been dead several
hours and a man unconscious and ap-
parently dying were found in a cab
which was driven up to BROOKLYN
police station on a gallop early in the
day. The man, who was suffering from
alcoholism and possibly from the eff
fects of a drug, may recover. Roth
he and the driver of the cab have been
detained by the police pending an in
vestigation of the affair. Although
the condition of the man was SO seri-
Gus that he could give the police little
information which would aid them In
their investigation he said that his
name was Thomas Deegan and that
he lived in Monroe street, one of the
better class ro~idential sections of
Brooklyn. The dead woman, he said,
was Miss Mary Savage, thirty years
old. Both Deegan and Miss Savage
were well dressed.
A police surgeon after cursory ex-
animation of Miss Savage's body de-
cided that probably she succumbed to
a weak heart superinduced by alcohol
ism.

PUBLIC TALKS OF PEACE.

in an interview, declared he personally
would welcome peace, but 1t was diff
cult to see how 1T was possible. To
end the war under the present cir
cumstances, he insisted, would be
shameful. A peace which would sur
render Russia's position In the Far
East after the sacrifices of blood and
treasure made to attain 1t and which
would involve the complete loss of
Russias prestige throughout the world
would be folly. II was better to go on
fighting. The country would never be
beaten while an army was in the field
and in the test of endurance Russia's
resources of men and money must pre-
vail. There had been no relaxation in

MANY MARINE DISASTERS ARE FEARED

London, March 16.-A storm of hur-
ricane force burst over the Irish and
English coacts during the night and it
is feared that many disasters have oc-
Cured, but the telegraph lines are
broken at many points.
The storm swept over the north of
Ireland early in the morning and did
great damage to property.
Fears are entertained for the safety
of the fishing fleets.
The high winds have caused consid-
cradle havoc along the coasts of the
United Kingdom. Telegraphic commu-
nication between London and many
points is cut off. The lifeboat stations
are busy and shipping everywhere is
seeking shelter. Numbers of minor
wrecks, accompanied by loss of life,
have been reported. Terrible seas are
running.
The British ship Khyber has been
totally wrecked off the Cornish coast
Twenty-three of her crew were
drowned and three were saved. The
khyber sailed from Melbourne, Aus

NEW TRIAL FOR GREASON.
Mrs. Edwards to Testify in Favor of
Convicted Accomplice.

Harrisburg, Pa, March 1.-THE
Pennsylvania supreme court, having
decided 10 send the case of Samuel
Greason, colored, under sentence of
death in Reading for the murder of
John Edwards in 1901, back to the
Berks county court the board of par
dons during the day granted contin-
uance in his case and also in that OF
Mrs. Kate Edwards, white, who is also
condemned to death for the same
crime. At the February session of the
pardon board the condemned couple
were reprieved until ten days after
the present meeting OF the board so
that the attorneys could again take
the case of Greason before the SUI
preme court. The decision of the
board acts as a stay pending the dis
posal of the case by the Berks county
court.
Greason and Mrs. Edwards had
been sentenced to be hanged on Feb.
16, but on Feb. Is attorneys for Grea-
son appeared before the board of par
dons and submitted evidence to the
effect that Mrs. Edwards had CON
fessed that Greason was innocent of
the crime of killing her husband. The
board thereupon reprieved Greason so
that his case could be further investi-
gated and reprieved Mrs Edwards in
order that she might be used as d wit
ness in Greason's behalf. Nothing has
been done looking toward new trial
for the condemned woman and after
the Greason case is disposed of by the
Berks county court her application
for a Communication of sentence will
be acted upon by the board of pardons.
That tribunal vgice refused to com.
mute her sentence.
Both Greason and Mrs. Edwards
have listened to the reading Of the
death warrant ten times and both
have been under the eyes of the death
watch for two years.

FRENCH FiNANCIERS DECLINE TO
ADVANCE RUSSIA FUNDS TO
CARRY ON WAR.
LIKELY TO HELP BRING ABOUT PEACE
MONEY MARKETS OF THE WORLD
APPEAR TO BE CLOSED TO
CZAR'S AGENTS.

Paris, March 16-The postponement
of the Russian loan is definitely con-
frmed. This is likely to exert pow
erful influence towards peace, as 1t is
the first time the French financiers
have shown an indispoSition to ad-
vance funds while the uncertainties OF
war continue. The following details
of the postponement are from an au-
thoritative source:
\ committee representing the syn
dicate of French underwriters went to
st. Petersburg to arrange the condi-
tions with the minister of finance and
a contract was drawn up for $780,
100000 loan taking the form of treas
ury bonds running seven years at D
per cent. The contract was then
brought back to Paris for the approval
of all the underwriters. In the mean
time the disastrous events in Manchu-
ria naturally aroused doubts on the
part of the fnanciers as to whether
Russia should make peace or pursue
the war. The influence of the financial
elements was almost unanimous for
peace, but Russia's disinclination to
consider peace appears to have In
ducea the decision not to proceed with
the contract and, accordingly, the
signing of which was expected Tues
day, has been postponed and all the
pending negotiations are also post
poned.
According to the Russian view this
t1rt tb< of
Have Been Broken Off,
but merely that they are adjourned, as
the Russian authorities say the syn
dicate holds itself bound towards Rus
sia now as before However, the cir"
cumstances of the adjournment tend
to show that the syndicate inclfnes to
wait for some definite development OF
peace before proceeding any further.
1t is authoritatively denied in the
highest Russian quarters that the
French government exerted any pres
sure toward preventing the increase
of French holdings of Russian secur-
tiles. Nevertheless it is probable that
some members of the government, act
ing individually, voiced the prevailing
view that caution was desirable.
1t is significant that the postpone
ment of the loan is coincident with
strong movement of the influential
French press favorable to peace. The
Matin prominently displays a state
ment believed to reflect the views OF
financial circles which declares that
If Japan is ready to adopt generous
attitude by waving an indemnity or
imposing any humiliation upon Rus
sia then Russias policy of war to the
bitter end will cease. 1t Is noticeable
that some of the Russian officials
speak approylngly of the latter prop
ositions. They say peace is impossi-
BILE if an indemnity or any humiliating
conditions are asked, so that the elm
ination OF these two points will 20 far
towards favorable consideration OF
peace.

RUSSIANS HIDE ARTILLERY.
Japs Will Search for Many Missing
Cannon.

NeWchwang, March 16.-The mill
tary men here advance the theory that
the difference in the number of guns
the Japanese are reported to have cap
tured and those General Kuropatkin
is reported to have lost is owing to the
Russians, when routed, having dropped
guns into the rivers through the ice
and abandoned others in rayines and
eullies. 1t is expected that as soon as
the present rush at Mukden is over
search for the lost artillery will be
rewarded.

FIERCELY ATTACK TIE PASS
GENERAL kURCPATkIN REPORTS
BLOODY REPULsE OF JAPA-
NESE ASSAULT.

st. Petersburg, March 16.-General
Kuropatkln, in o dispatch dated March
IA, says.
"A fierce attack on the center of our
positions at the Fan river (about thir
teen miles south of Tie pass) has
been repulsed More than 1000 cOrpses
remain in front of our positions"
The Madison daily leader. [volume] (Madison, S.D.) 1890-current, 1905-03-16

The Fan river may be described as
part of the outer line of defenses of
Tie pass, which probably led to the
report that an attack had been made
on Tie pass itself.
