London, March ia storm of h,lr-

The storm swept over the north of

The high winds have caused consid.

But Russian Government Firmly In

st. Petersburg, March 16.-The ques-
ton OF peace still engrosses public at
tention, but the attitude of the gov
ernment apparently remains firm,
Minister of Railroads Prince FIilkoff,
in an interview, declared he personally
would welcome peace, but it was diff
cult to see how it 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 it and which
would involve the complete loss of
Kussia's prestige throughout the world
would be folly. 1t was better to go or
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
the preparations to prosecute the war.
He was now getting ready to SO to
Siberia, he said, and personally super.
intend the improvement and double
tracking OF the line. The prince sex-
pressed the hope that the disaster to
the army was not as bad as reported
abroad.

of the Russian loan is definitely con-
frmed. This is likely to exert a pow
erful influence towards peace, as it IS
the first time the French fnanoiers
have shown an indisposition to adj
vance funds while the uncertainties OF
war continue The following details
of the postponement are from an au-
thoritative source:
a committee representing the syn
.dicate of French underwriters went to
st. Petersburg to arrange the condi-
tions with the minister of finance and
contract was drawn up for a $780,
100000 loan, taking the form of treas
ury bonds running seven years at 5
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 disinclinatiQn to
consider peace appears to have in
duced 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
does not mean that the negotiations
Have Been Broken Off,
but merely that they are adjourned, as
the Russian authorities say the syn
dicate holds itself bound towards Rms
sia now as before. However, the cir
cumstances of the adjournment tend
to show that the syndicate inclines to.
wait for some definite development of
peace before proceeding any further.
It is authoritatiyely 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.
It 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 state
ment believed to reflect the views of
financial circles which declares that
If Japan is ready to adopt a generous
attitude by waving an indemnity or
imposing any humiliation upon Rus
sia then Russia's policy Of war to the
bitter end Will cease. It is noticeable
that some of the Russian officials
speak approvingly 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 go far
towards favorable consideration of
peace.

Cleveland, March 16.-Mrs. Chad
wick, accompanied by two deputy
United States marshals, left the eoun-
ty jail during the day in a closed
carriage and was driven to her old
home for a farewell visit. With the
exception Of $500 worth Of personal
effects exempt from the claims Of
creditors all of the furnishings and
other personal property in the house
will be sold at public auction by Trus-
tee Loeser next Friday. Mrs. Chad
wick was granted permission by Judge
Tayler OF the federal court to visit
her home to decide upon what prop
erty she would retain. It was evidently
a trying ordeal for the convicted Wo-
man. Immediately upon entering the
sumptuously furnished residence she
broke down and Wept bitterly. It was
her first visit to the house since last
November. soon after which she left
for New York, where, in the following
month she was arrested.
When Mrs. Chadwick had finally re-
gained her composure she began a

after beginning this task she encoun-

condemned to death for the same
crime. At the February session Of the

We're reprieyed until ten days after
the present meeting of the board so
that the attorneys could again take
the case of Greason before the su-
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
5l6, but on Feb. 1t 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 reprieyed Mrs. Edwards IN
order that she might be used as a 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 Communication of sentence will
be acted upon by the board Of pardons.
That tribunal twice 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.

feet with matches tried to force her to
say where their money was concealed.
Recently Engels sold some horses
and had in his possession some $500.
This was evidently known to the bur-

attempted to wiring the secret from
Mrs. Engels. The woman screamed in
agony and the robbers became fright.
