RUSSIAN LOAN POSTPONED
Temporary Advance by Paris Banker.
TO Tide the Government
over.

PARIS. Jan. T. 49, NJ. Kokovson, former
Russian minister of finance who came here
to negotiate another Russian loan, prac-
tically confirms the statement made i'm
these dispatches yesterday that the loan
has been postponed French bankers are
now considering the making of temporary
advances in order to support the stability
of Russian finances
In the course of an interview today, Mr.
Kokovsoff made a statement relative to
Russia's real financial position He said:
THE budget for 1906, which is about to
be presented to the council of the empire.
comprises an extraordinary budget Of
t2i6.5oooN of which only s5,O0OOoo il
covered by the excess OF revenue from the
ordinary budget Thus sea-, 500 900 remains
to be provided. Three Of the heaviest
items included therein are provisions for
the repatriation Of the troops in the far
east. their maintenance until their return
to Russia and the reimbursement Of
Japan's outlay for the Russian prisoners
or war. Other smaller extraordinary ex-
penses include the maintenance of the
families of reservists, succor for the VIC
tins of distress, railroad construction and
subventions for the naphtha industry"
M Kokovsoff said Russia could, without
difficulty. issue an internal loan TO meet
these eXpenses but II was considered
preferable not TO float It until the second
half OF the year in order not to affect the
proper administration OF the national re-
sources. Therefore. he said. It was thought
desirable to arrange for foreign participa-
ton similar to that indicated yesterday.
In conclusion NJ. Kokovsoff said:
The difficulties through which we have
Just passed. though grave. were never suf-
hciently serious to affect Russian credit"

and ranifications
He declines to regard Mr.. Balfour's free

Justice Field Sees Some of HIS
Revenue Cut on.
1t Just happened that the day following
Rev. Henry belong, as probation officer
of the juvenile division of the district
court, was granted permission by the
Board OF County Supervisors to establish
an Office in the county court house he was
called upon to oficiato at two marriages
in the office of the clerk of the district
court.
Justice Field viewed with alarm the in
novation of having a minister of the
gospel on hand at the court house TO
officiate at marriages. During the year just
past Justice Field oficiated at 221 we'd
dings. but with Rev. Henry DeIong in
competition and with headquarters in the
court house he saw a shrinking in his
marriage fees. lie decided that prompt
action was necessary, so he sat down ana
drew up protest which he intended pre-
senting to the Board of County Super
visors. The document set forth that pro-
viding Rev. Henry DeLong with an office
in the court house in close proximity to
the Office of the clerk of the court, where
the marriage licenses were issued, gave
the reverend gentleman an undue advan-
tage over the justices of the peace, not
to mention the other ministers of the gos-
pei throughout the city.
The protest was duly drawn up and
signed by Justice Field. who sent it by
his constable to Justice L. B. Gardiner
to secure the latter's signature and en-
dorsement. Justice Gardiner, however,
who since his election to Office had Sc
cured the short end OF the marriages. de-
clined to attach his signature to the docu-
ment and he sent word to Justice Field
that he was in no way aggrieved at hav-
ing Rev. Henry DeLong quartered in the
court house and at the same time. judging
from the number of marriages that Justice
Field had performed during the last twelve
months in comparison TO those he had
officiated at, he did not quite understand
how Justice Field had any complaint COM
ing.
The refusal OF Justice Gardiner to attach
his official signature to the protest re-
suited in Justice Field deciding not to
present the document TO the Board of
County Supervisors.

"All know about the proposition is from
what read in the newspapers this morn
ing. The special committee appointed by
the city council to confer with the water
works company has not yet waited on me
relative TO this new proposition, owing to
the fact that It was only brought up Satur-

substantially correct.
Il shall be pleased to meet with the COM
mittee and take up the question of the
proposed contract and adjustment of rates
and do everything possible to bring about
a speedy and amicable solution of the
question"
Regarding the adjustment of rates, it is
known that Inquiries made by some Of the
aldermen regarding rates charged private
consumers in other cities of this state
developed the fact that the rates charged
by the water works company in this city
we're lower than those elsewhere through
out the state.
The city council is scheduled to meet in
adjourned regular session tonight. at which
time a report on the proceedings of the
committee of the whole Saturday night. 1t
is expected will be made and stems taken
toward some definite agreement between
the city and the water works company as
