Paris, March 15-The postponemen,
of the Russian loan is definitely con
6rmed. This is likely to exert a pow
erful influence towards peace as it is
the first time the French financiers
have shown an indisposition to ad
vance any funds, while the uncertain
ties of war continue. The following
details of the postponement are from
an authoritative source:
\ committee representing the syndi
cate OF French underwriters went tc
St. Petersburg to arrange the condi
tons with the minister of finance anG
a contract was drawn up for a $120,
100000 loan, taking the form of treas
ury bonds running seven years at {
per cent.
The contract was then brought bach
to Paris for the advance of all the un
derWriters. In the meantime the dis
astrous events in Manchuria naturally
aroused doubts on the part of f1nan
ciers as to whether Russia should
make peace or pursue the war. The
influence of the financial elements was
almost unanimous for peace but Rus
siess distinclination to consider peace
appears to have induced the decision
not to proceed with the contract anC
accordingly the signing of which was
expected yesterday has been postponed
and all the pending negotiations are
also postponed. According to the
Russian view this does not mean thai
the negotiations have been broken of
but merely that they are adjourned as
the Russian authorities say the syndi
cate holds itself bound towards Russia
now as before. However, the circum
stances of the adjournment tend tC
show that the syndicate inclines tC
of peace before proceeding any fur
ther It is authoritatiyely denied ir
the highest Russian quarters that the
French government exercised any
pressure towards preventing the in
crease of French holdings of Russian
securities. Nevertheless it is probable
that some members of the government
acting individually voiced the pre-
vailing view that caution was desira
BILE. Since M. Rouvier has combined
in himself the presidency Of the coun
Gil of ministers and the ministry O.
finance the government has indirectI.
exerted strong influence on private
financial affairs. 1t is significant thai
the postponement of the loan is coin
cident with a strong movement of the
influential French press favorable tt
peace.
The Matin prominently displays {
statement believed to reflect the views
of financial circles which declares thai
If Japan is ready to adopt agenerOus
attitude by waiving an indemnity OF
imposing any humiliation upon Russia
then Russia's policy of war to the bit
ter end will cease. 1t is noticeable
that some of the Russian officials
speak approvingly of the latter propo
sition. They say peace is impossi
BILE if an indemnity or any humiliating
conditions are asked, SO that the elm

towards securing favorable considera

Before leaving the house Mrs. Chad.
wick again broke down and gave way
to tears. She was allowed five min.

a moment showed signs of affection OF
feeling for her. Replying to her
statement that she knew that she was
absolutely innocent of any charges
against him, DR.. Chadwick said:
Il hope you will be able to disprove
the charges against you"
When the time came for her depart

carriage and returned to the jail A
small crowd had collected at the drive
way to see her pass, but the curtains
to the carriage were drawn.
