Russia Makes Move for Peace.
Paris, March 26.-The prospects of
peace between Russia and Japan as
sumed a more definite and almost
tangible aspect yesterday as the result
of the announcement of the resump-
ton of negotiations for a Russian
loan. The postponement of the loan
occurred through the stand taken by
the financial element against proceed
ing while the uncertainties OF war con-
tinred whilst a willingness to resume
negotiations was construed as mean
ing that their strong influence finally
has prevailed with the authorities at
st. Petersburg. The announcement OF
the resumption of negotiations took
definite form in a communication TO
the syndicate of agents de charge,
who form an influential element on
the bourse, holding government ere
dentials.
Take Steps Toward Peace.
Coupled with the announcement OF
a resumption of the loan negotiations
come a strong intimation from official
and diplomatic quarters that steps
looking toward peace had definitely
been taken by Russia. The foreign Of
fee declined to confirm report that
France was likely to be the interme-
diary: but diplomats, who are actively
interested for the first time give credit
to the statement that Russia had de-
cided to seek peace. 1t was said in
these quarters that Russia would deal
directly with Toxic through the
French minister, who has charge CT
Russia's interests there. However,
the reports of Frances active part in
the negotiations were said to be not
entirely correct, as other powers have
contributed
Toward a Pacific Solution,
and it is expected they will take part
in it's realization. 1t appears that
some of the lesser powers, including
Sweden. are assisting to that end.
