Tho Loan Assured.
NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-The great
Anglo-French loan will undoubtedly
be consummated this week, 1t was
learned from source Of unquestioned
authority here today. The foreign nm
|ancial commissioners and the Amerf-
can bankers are practically in agree
ment and there are but few days to
clear UP.
Here are the arrangements under
which the loan will be made:
''It win be between $600.0o0,o00 and
$500. 600, 900.
Interest Will be i've percent.
The bonds will be sold at par to
the public.
The underwriters will make about
two percent.
The bond win probably run for ave
years and be convertible at the end
OF that time to twenty year bonds,
backed by both British and French
governments.
Reports that there has been any
Serious bitches between the commits
sion and the American bankers were
laughed at.
"ThA only hitch has been the Inter
est" said a prominent banker In close
touch with the commission. sBut that
is all settled now. The loan will be
consummated at hve percent and Sc
|curities will be shorter than bonds,
probably Ave years"
The bonds will be secured by both
France and ENGLAND. making 1t pure
|ly Anglo-French matter.

BRITISH SHIP TAKES
GREAT LOAD OF COAL

Newport News. Aug 3l.--With
nearly, $500 tons of coal in her bunk
ers, and between decks. the largest
amount OF bunker coal ever taken by
steamer for aner own use. according
to some--the British steamer Wal
mana. which arrived here a few days
ago with q four-inch cannon on her
deck. rides at anchor in James River
while the big guns OF Fortress Monroe
command the exit to the ocean.
The Waimana IL ready to leave this
port the moment permission for her
to do so lis given by Secretary OF state
Lansing. il Is said. However, il was
learned that all the sen stores had
not been placed aboard, the master
evidently fearing that he will not be
allowed to proceed on his voyage.
Ai'pping men say that they cannot
imagine why the Waimana took such
a large supply Of bunker coal. Steam
ers leaving this port with export car
goes often take enough bunker coal
to last on the trip across the ocean and
the return voyage, but that 10 seldom
more than 2,100 tons. The Waimann,
however. Is due to go from here to
Montevideo, Buenos Aires. to load an
export cargo 1t il therefore consid-
cred strange that she should ask for
enough bunker coal at this port to take
her almost around the world.
