CLOSED WITH SONGS
Pictures'que Scene When the
House Adjourned.
ALL ANIMOSITY WAS FORGOTTEN
Feature of the Last Day "Was the
Victory of the Old Conferees on
the Aaial Dill.
WASHINGTON. June 7. In marked
contrast -with the exciting Incidents at
tending the bitter struggles of the closing
houre of the session. Speaker Henderson
laid down his gavel at 5 o'clock this af
ternoon at the conclusion of one of the
most picturesque scenes -which has ever
occurred in the Hall of Representatives.
Party passion and personal rancor, which
have brought the House to the brink of
actual riots at times during the last 4S
hours, gave way In the closing half-hour
to good fellowship, which ended In a
patriotic outburst that stirred the crowd
ed galleries to the highest pitch of en
thusiasm. During a brief recess, taken within 30
minutes of the time fixed for the final
adjournment to give the President an op
portunity to affix his signature to the
bills that "were being rushed to him for
approval, a group of members, led by
Mercer (Rep. Neb.), Ball (Dem. Tex.),
Fitzgerald (Dem. Mass.) and Tawney
(Rep. Minn.) congregated In the area to
the left of the Speaker's rostrum and be
gan singing patriotic airs. The galleries
were banked to the doors. "Columbia,
the Gem of the Ocean," "Auld Lang
Syne," "The Red. White and Blue" suc
cessively rang out. As the singing pro
ceeded, members joined the group, until,
without regard to age or party, the entire
membership of the House joined In the
choruses. The spectators In the galleries
applauded each song until the strains of
"Dixie" filled the hall. Then their un
bounded enthusiasm broko out In wild
cheers.
But the enthusiasm "Dixie" evoked was
not to be compared1 with the remarkable
demonstration which followed, when, in
a clear and ringing tenor, Fitzgerald
(Dem. Mass.) started the National an
them with the Inspiring words, "Through
the Dawn's Early Light" In an instant
all the men, women and children in the
galleries were on their feet Joining in the
singing. The mighty chorus from thou
sands of throats reverberated through the
hall, making the pulses leap and the blood
tingle. It was a magnificent and soul-ln-fcplrlng
spectacle. The ladles kept time
to the rythm of the music with their
handkerchiefs and the men beat the meas
ure with their hands. The Speaker, paus
ing as he entered the hall, raised his voice
also.
The excitement produced by the scene
overcame a white-haired old man In one
of the public galleries, and when the song
ceased he jumped upon his seat and shout
ed: "That is the song of the angels in
Heaven." He was plainly a crank, but
as he showed a disposition to harangue
the House, he was quickly ejected.
After Speaker Henderson had made a
graceful farewell speech, thanking the
members for their courtesy, and had de
clared the House adjourned, the members
testified to his popularity by singing "For
He's a Jolly Good Fellow," and the news
paper correspondents in the press gallery
celebrated their emancipation from the
burdens of Congress by singing the "Dox
ology." The principal feature of the closing day
In the House was the reversal of its ac
tion last night In turning down "the con
ferees on the naval bill for yielding on
the item relating to ocean surveys. Over
night the sentiment of the House under
went a complete change, and today the
members voted by a. large majority to ac
cept outright the Senate amendment,
-which goes much further than the com
promise which the conferees offered last
night. The new conferees, led by Cannon,
who had brought In a compromise which
they considered more satisfactory, were
Ignominlously pushed aside. It was a dis
tinct victory for the old conferees Foss
(Rep. 111.), Dayton (Rep. W. Va.) and
Cummlngs (Dem. N. Y.). The other feat
ure of the closing day1 was the course of
Lentz (Dem. O.) In blocking unanimous
consent legislation. For three days he
had objected to bills because the majority
would not allow the testimony In the
Coeur d'Alene Investigation to bo printed,
and ho maintained his position to the
nd.
Details of the Last Day.
"When the House reconvened at 10
o'clock this morning it was still Tuesday
under the Legislative fiction. As the con
ferees on the Naval bill were not ready
to report, the HouFe adjourned until 12
o'clock.
At noon the Legislative day of Thurs
day began. Many of the members had
counted upon final adjournment yester
day, and had alreday left for their homes,
to there was danger of a quorum falling!
The leaders on both sides could with dif
ficulty persuade members to remain at
their posts.
The reading of the journal, which cov
ered "almost 4S hours of continuous ses
sion., occupied over 20 minutes. Richard,
oon (Dem. Tenn.) the Democratic leader,
aaked unanimous consent for the 'consid
eration of a resolution to appropriate 510,
000 for the repair of roads in Rock Creek
Park.
"Unless w e can have the Coeur d'Alene
testimony printed," exclaimed Lentz
(Dem. O.), "w e can forego pleasure drives
In Rock Creek Park."
An amusing incident followed. Gros
venor (Rep. O.) claimed the floor as a
matter of personal privilege to deny a
newspaper report of a scene which oc
curred during the exciting uproar In the
House last night, when Cannon (Rep. 111.)
and Sulzer (Dem. N. Y.) embraced each
other In the center aisle. The report
stated that it was Grosvenor who had
embraced Sulzer. Grosvenor caused much
merriment by repudiating the alleged in
cident. Terry (Dem. Ark.) added to the fun by
rexnarking that it was a question as to
vhoie privilege It wag to deny the Inci
dent, and Sulzer remarked that he was
glad it was Cannon, and not Grosvenor,
who embraced him.
Lentz got in another word about the
Coeur d'Alene testimony, -s hlch drew from
Lacey (Rep. la.) a shot to the effect that
the minority view of the Coeur d'Alene
trouble had not been sustained in Idaho
yesterday, where the Democrats had in
dorsed Governor Steunenberg's action.
"I do not believe It." replied Lentz. "At
any rate, he was not indorsed In Shoshone
County, where all the facts are known."
A bill was passed to amend the car
coupler law so as to require railroads to
report monthly under oath to the Inter
e'ate Commerce Commission all accidents
to their employes, and to make reports as
to all collisions between trains.
Overstreet (Rep. Ind.) attempted to bait
Lents with a resolution to give con
demned cannon to the Sons of Veterans,
but Lentz. with the remark that the Sons
-of Veterans would like to read the story
of how their fathers were confined In the
"bullpen" at "Wardner. said he would not
object, and the resolution was adopted.
Cannon, on behalf of the conferees on
the Naval appropriation bill, formally re
ported another disagreement. The Naval
conferees who were superseded last night
after a bitter fight evidently were ready
to resume the struggle. Cannon moved
that the Housa recede and concur in the
Senate amendment, which struck out the
word "hydrographic" and provided for
ocean survevs. Including the waters of
Porto Rico. Cuba and the Philippines, ex
cept the counts thereof. Cannon Fald that
the propod amendment was in 'harmony
with the instructions given by the House
for the coars of the Great Lakes, the
a wecK ago not to agree to any urvey
seaboard or the lsiauas of our new pori
session. This amendment would conilne
.Naval surveys to tne ueep wuter of toe
ocean.
Dayion (Rep. W. Va.), who was one of
the yuptrseaed conferees, moved id re
cede and concur in the Senate amendment
in order to bring the question squarely
before the House. Moody (Rep. MasM,
who last night charged the contereea with
betraying tneir trust, apologized for his
words amid applause.
Cummlngs (Dem. N. Y.), one of the con
ferees, said the apology was "Justly due,
and a handsome one." He somewhat
startled the House by referring to "Junk
eting trips" which Cannon had taken as
the guest of the coast survey, and then
paid his respects to the chairman of the
appropriations committee. He pictured
Cannon, the chairman of the great ap
propriations committee, as a lion lashing
his sides and roaring, while the crowd ot
Jackals followed as they smelt fresh meat.
Then he described how the House, blindly
following the lion's, leadership, had done
everything It could to degrade Us confer
ees, despite their appeals that they were
powerless.
"I told 'ou," said he. with great vehe
mence, "that we were up against a stone
wall, but you turned us down and turned
the controversy over to the appropria
tions committee to settle. And they went
up against the ame atone wall.- with the
result that they were back here crawling
before this House with another proposi
tion. Why. if you were so loyal, did ytm
come crawling back into the House? he
asked, addressing Cannon. "Why did sou
not continue your opposition?"
Then, with sarcasm and a contemptuou
wave of his. hand, he said, as he took hii
Se"You have been misnamed: you are no
Cannon: you are a toy musket.'
This shot convulsed the House, and it
was several minutes before order was re-
BtSheadfroth (Sll. Colo.) one of the new con
ferees, said that If the Cannon amend
ment were adopted the surveys of the
Navy would be confined to the ocean. .No
surveys of our crtists or harbors would
be made under Its direction.
Cannon In conclusion asked the House
to tand by nlm. "I can give assurance,
said he "that if the 'House adopts my
motion we can adjourn without day in
an hour." n
The vote was taken first upon Dayton s
motion to Teccde and concur in tho Sen
ate amendment. On a rising vote It was
carried. 77 to 71. Cannon demanded the
yeas and nays, which were ordered. Day
ton's motion prevailed, IIS to 95. A great
demonstration followed the announce-
.fter this defeat; Cannon turned the
management of the other item sf.il In dis
pute between the two houses over to Day
ton. This related to the course of the
Naval Cadets at Annapolis. Tayton mom
that the House recede and concur In the
Senate amendment, continuing the six
years' course for cadets, but providing
that a cadet at Annapolis from each Con
gressional district should be appointed
oVrv rmir vars. The motion was agreed
to. This action removed tho last stumbling
block and finally passed the naval appro
priation bilL -.,.
Then followed a scene of Indescribable
confusion. A number of conference re
ports on private pension bills were put
through at great rapidity, while the en
grossing clerks rushed back and forth in
their efforts to get belated bills to the
President before final adjournment. Mem
bers clamored for recognition: pages scur
ried about, and the turmoil and confusion
were indisputable signs that the closing
hour was at hand.
Lentz made frequent Interruptions, ana
at one time managed to get in with the
partial statement: "In answer to Lacey, 1
have a telegram from Couer d'Alene coun
ty raying: "Governor Steunenberg cut a
watermelon today, but " The sharp
rapping of the gavel cut Lentz off.
At 3:30 the Secretary of the Senate ar
rived and In a ringing voice announced
the action of the Senate for adjournment
at 5 P. M. There was a warwhoop from
the floor, and Payne (Rep. N. Y.) moved
to concur In the Senate's action.
"This House ought not to adjourn until
the Senate has acted upon the anti-trust
bill." said Sulzer.
The Republicans attempted to howl him
down, but the Democrats, rising en masse,
forced a roll call on Payne's motion. The
Senate "amendment to the adjournment
resolution was adopted, 115 to 73. The
Speaker then appointed Payne, Bingham
and Richardson a committee to wait on
the President and Inform him that the
House was ready to adjourn.
Lentz at this point clamored for .recog
nition and attempted to move the pas
sage, Under suspension of tho rules, of
the resolution to print the Coeur d'Aleno
testimony. He claimed the right to make
this motion on the ground that the adop
tion of tho adjournment resolution made
the last six days of the session sus
pension days.
"The chair has tho right to exercise
discretion under the rules." said Speaker
Henderson, ""and he declines to recognize
the gentleman to make a motion."
It being apparent that no further busi
ness could be transacted, the House took
a recess until 4:50 P. M. During the
recess the members congregated on the
floor and sang patriotic songs.
At 4:50, when the Speaker attempted to
call the House to order, the members
were still singing. With one accord they
turned upon him and drowned the crash
of his gavel in the strains of "For He's
a Jolly Good Fellow." With this tribute
to the Speaker's popularity, the group
broke up. As they made their way to
their seats, the Speaker observed good
naturedly: "The choir will come to or
der." Payne then announced that the Presi
dent had nothing further to communi
cate. The Clerk read a, long list of bills
and resolutions signed by the President.
The House listened impatiently to the
droning voice of the .Clerk as he read the
list. The title of tho last bill. "A bill
for the relief of Andrew Jackson," aroused
a roar of laughter.
As the hands of tho clock approached the
hour of 5 o'clock, Speaker Henderson
arose, and. amid profound silence, de
livered his valedictory in these words:
"Gentlemen of the House 'of .Representa
tives: We will in a few moments have
completed our session's work. It has been
a session of earnest, patriotic effort, of
unremitting toil. This House has demon
strated that men may meet on great fields
of contest and part as friends. This body
has considered many great, novel National
questions. That fervor which enters inta
debate on the eve of a great National con
flict has been present, but guided by in
telligence and manly courage.
"At the opening -of this session I took
the chair with that fear and apprehension
which every conscientious man should feel.
I appealed to you for support and kindly
aid. Not for one moment have you for
gotten that appeal, but your sustaining
Influence has made it possible to consider
these mighty problems of the hour and
never allow the legislator and the gentle
man to 6lnk below the high level of man
hood. "In parting, I wish you from my heart
a pleasant vacation, and that you may all
return to the duties of the next session
refreshed in body and in mind. And now,
in pursuance of the concurrent resolution
adopted by the two houses of Congress
I declare this session adjourned without
Jay."
As the gavel fell which ended the first
session of the Fifty-sixth Congress, the
members cheered again and again. As tha
spectators turned for the doors, the news
paper correspondents in the press gallery
arrested their progress with the "Doxol
ogy." They waited until It had been sung
and then departed. Tho Speaker remained
for 10 minutes at the foot of his rostrum
shaking hands with the members, for all
of whom he had a pleasant word.

Aside Front Expenses Incident te

In Excess of Former Tears.
WASHINGTON. Juno 7. A carefully
prepared statement on the appropriations
of the Senate was made last night by Sen
ator Allison, chairman of the Senate com
mittee on appropriations, and Chairman
Cannon, of the House committee, on ap
propriations, in accordance with custom.
The statement says:
"The appropriations made by the first
session of the 56th Congress amount to
$709,729,476. This "sum Includes $137,247,155
estimated to be on account of or Incident
to the late War with Spain, and. de
ducting It, the remaining amount, $578,
4S2.321, represents the ordinary appropri
ations made for the support of the Gov
ernment during this session.
"It will be observed that, after deduct
ing the amounts estimated to have been
appropriated on account of or incident
to the war with Spain for the ensuing, the
current. ar.d the last fiscal years (which
cover the period since tho beginning of
the Spanish War), the impropriations for

1899 532.371,6SS
"This shows an apparent excess in the
ordinary appropriations at this session
for the fiscal year of 1901 of $49,747,242
over the appropriations for the fiscal year
1898, which immediately preceded the
Spanish War. The chier Increases In or
dinary expenses for 1901 Over those of
1898 are:

Permanent appropriations (In
cluding $2,000,000 for require
ments of sinking fund, and $4,
000,000 for redemption of Na
tional Bank notes) 6,637,006
"These Increases, in Federal appropria
tions need no defense, and but a word of
explanation.
"For pensions the amount simply rep
resents the natural increase of the pension
roll.
"For the Increase of the Navy the ex
cess over the appropriations of 1S9S is nec
essary for the construction, armor, arma.
ment and equipment of battle-ships, cruis
ers, gunboats and torpedo-Doats hereto
fore authorized, and is no more than is
absolutely neceary toward placing the
Navy expeditiously In the proper condi
tion universally demanded by the- pebple
for the National defense.
"Much of the natural Increase in the
Treasury, War and Navy Departments is
Incident to the war with Spain, although
no part of It is included In the table which
is submitted of Increased appropriations
on account of the war.
"Under permanent appropriations, aside
from $6,000,000 for interest on the war loan,
two considerable Increases appear one
for $4,000,000 for the redemption of circu
lating notes of National Banks out of
funds deposited with the Treasury for that
purpose the transaction belrp purely one

the public funds. The amount of esti
mated redemptions out of bank funds lx
simply $4,000,000 greater than lh 1S9S. and
by process of bookkeeping that amount
Is added to the appropriation for 1901. .
"An increase of S2,000,0X) is made In
the amount estimated to meet the require
ments of the sinking fund for 1901 over
the sum estimated and included In the
appropriations for 1S9S. This Increase is
on account of the Spanish War loan of
$200,000,000. The necessary amounts, as
nearly as they can be arrived at, are ap
propriated on account of or incident to the
war with Spain during each of the three,
sessions of Congress had since the begin
ning of that war, and are set forth in
detail. The amounts thus appropriated
during the sessions of the last Congress
covered the period to the close of the fis
cal year 1900. and aggregated $452.552.0S3.
"Of this whole sum. It Is estimated by
the Treasury Department, that to June
30. the total expenditures will not exceed
$392,000,000. leaving a surplus of $90,000,000
after meeting outstanding obligations to
be covered Into the Treasury. Thus, for
the conduct of that momentous war and
Its resultant effects. Congress amply made
appropriations, and the Administration
has wisely and nrudently made expendi
tures from the liberal sums thus placed
at Its disposal."
THE MINORITY STATEMENT.
An Increase in Pnblle Expenses AH
Along: the Line.
WASHINGTON, June 7. Representative
Livingston, the ranking minority member
of the House committee on appropriations.
today made tho following statement as to
appropriations from the standpoint of the
minor! ty:
"In submitting a statement of the appro
priations made at this session of the 55th
Congress, I beg to call to the attention ot
the House and the country the fact that
notwithstanding the enormous appropria
tions for 1900 on account of the Spanish-
Cuban War, the Army and Navy appro
priations for this session are $50,000,000 in.
excess of those for the last session. The
statement I submit shows also that in
every department of the Government, bc
ginrdng with the agricultural and ending:
with the permanent appropriations, wo
have increased at this session the amounts
authorized at the last session. And when
to the aggregate we add the amounts that
should have been appropriated at this ses
sion, but which have been deferred for
no good reason, or, at least, for reasons
that need explanations on the part of these
In control, amounts which must be ap
propriated at the second session of this
Congress, such as that necessary to com-
plete the Nlcaraguan Canal (the. bill hav
ing passed tlje House carrying authoriza
tion of an expenditure of $141,000,000) and
also that usually appropriated for rivers
and harbors, , $16,003,000;. for public build
ings and grounds, $3,000,000; for outstand
ing claims, estimated at $10,000,000 if, 1
say, we add $170.00),00jl to the sum stated
In the table, $709,729,476, wo would have a
grand, total .of $S79,729,476 for this session
alone. And thus the total shown In the
exhibit is not quite complete or fair, con
sldering that such large amounts as must
be met are withheld for the next session,
I submit that to be fair, we should let each
fiscal year take care of all necessary ap
propriations, and not unload this year on
the fiscal year of 1902 things that should
be" provided for and included In the fiscal
year JKH.
."And I call attention also to the con
stant and "gradual Increase In the appro
priations for pensions, and likewise to the
legislative, .executive and Judicial appro
priations. This item could not have been
affected! Jo any great extent by the Spanish-Cuban
War. It showf, indeed, an In
crease, as before stated, all along tho line,
despite the fact that the committee on
public buildings and grounds have held
back all matters before them, and the
committee on rivers and harbors all mat
ters before them, with J.co orhreo excep
tions, and all accounts and claims have
been practically barred from consideration
at this session."
Mr. Livingston then gives a large table
showing the appropriations for the years
1897 to 1901 inclusive, and continues":
"It should be borne In mind that In tha,

Why Sprlgrsr s "Was Tnrncd Down.
NEy YORK. June 7. A special to tha
Herald from Washington, says:
The renomlnation of Fred B. Sprlggs, of
Utlca, N. Y., who has been serving as In
dian Agent In Nevada since 1897, was re
jected by the Senate because of the op
position of the Nevada Senators. They
object to an "outsider" in office In their
state. Tho home rule policy appealed
strongly to "Western Senators, and Sena
tors Piatt and Depew, discovering this,
declined to make a further fight for
Sprlggs. Mr. Sprlgg3 wai first nominated
In 1897. The "Senate failing to act, the
President gave him two successive ao
pOlntments. Mr. Barrett's Disappointment.
WASHINGTON, June 3 Probably the
most disappointed man over the defeat
of the bill for an Oriental commission is
John Barrett, of Portland. During the
entire session of Congress, from the time
when this commission was first, conceived,
Barrett has been fluttering In and about
Washington, working to secure the au
thorization of this commission and his
apolntment as a member. He has. labored
with the members of the Oregon, Wash
ington and California delegations, and
to each, except the Oregon, he repre
sents "himself as a purely Pacific Coast
man, and Impresses them with the" fact
that -no commission to visit the Orient
should be without a member from the
Coast To the Oregon men he has of
course -claimed PorHand " as his home,
and almost demanded their support on
that account.
On various occasions when this bill wa
before committees. John Barrett, among
others', was given hearings In support or
the bllK and his efforts were most pro
lific. It was largely due to his Influence
that these hearings were had. and to his
inducement that others were brought be
fore the committees. Of course, there
were other men interested In the com
mission, and many who sought places
upon it. but none worked so hard as Bar
rett. That the commission was defeated
was due in no measure to lack of effort
on his pant, and, because of the time
and energy he has spent in this direction,
his disappointment is so much the deeper.
Getting down to bottom facts, the de
feat ot the commission bill was brought
about by the fact that the "commission
business" has been worked to death, and.
Senators, especially those who are not
seeking good places for some constitu
ent, are not now inclined to look with
favor upon legislatipn intended to cre
ate new commissions.
Triple Murder in California.
PLACERVILLE, Cal., June 7. News
was received late tonight of a triple mur
der, at Diamond Springs, about 15 miles
from here. Zachary Zumwalt with a
rifle shot and killed his wife, his son

BENEDICT IS ALARMED.
Sees the Breaking- Up of the Demo
cratic and Republican Parties.
NEW HAVEN, Conn., June 7. E. C.
Benedict, the New'Yonc banker, who re
cently returned from a trip with ex-President
Cleveland, hai written abetter, in
which he says: .
"The gross outrages perpetrated on tho
good name of the Democratic party" by tha
present managers of a party by that name,
with scarcely a vestige of the old Demo
cratic gospel left In it, makes me at pre,
ent a political .orphan. I am practically
disfranchised by their action, while their
Infidelity to Democratic principles has pro.
voked infidelity to the 'name to such an
extent that I greatly fear we can never
again succeed under It.
"I am not alone In this orphanage. On
the contrary, I have not a single acquaint
ance among my Democratic friends with
whom I have conferred, who does not
share this feeling with me. It Is also
very apparent that this political orphan
age Is not confined to those of our faith.
McKlnleyJsm Is becoming almost as repug
nant to the rank and file of Republicans
at Bryanlsm is to v. As a temporary
choice of evils, the latter may survive tha
former, but only for a little while.
"These vast and lncrcaslrg" rebellious ele
ments from the ranks of both parties,
having common dangers, are fast)ecomlng
common friends and are anxious to be
come enrolled under one banner. But be
fore ah organization of these elements
can be effected, it is the "plain duty of
outraged Democrats to use their best In
dividual efforts. In thr absence of organi
zation, to clean house by the complete de
struction of Bryanjsm. From present ap
pearances it Is the only function ne can
perform in the coming campaign. Soon
thereafter McKInleyism must surely per
ish as a punishment for Its infidelity to all
sound principles of government Then will
come the opportunity for the formation
of a great party, based on a platform sim
ilar to that of the National Democratic
party in 1893 (which was the soundest and
most patriotic eer placed before our peo
ple), and the 'Moses to lead it "will be
forthcoming when the proper time arrives.
"The "Jjab Ballads tell us In substance
that to enjoy Heaven wefl we should have
a few moments of. hell. This great, rich
country is suffering vastly more from the
pernicious attion df its lawmakers and the
unwarranted action ofthe Administration
than from all the law-breakers in the
land; but our, matchless form of govern
ment remains," under which our old party,
with all its time-honored principles, may
be born again with renewed patriotic vigor
with overwhelming ranks, and, quite like
ly. With a new name."
THE NEGRO PARTY.
Jadfce Walker Has No Ambition to
Be Its Candidate.
BOSTON.. June 7. Ex-Judge E. G.
Walker, who was mentioned as a Pres
idential possibility at the meeting, of the
National Negro party in Philadelphia,
says: .
"I have heard rumors of the "formation
of such a party. Ip is a beautiful theory- t
I.belieye one of the principles of the par
ty was ,f or colored men' either to retrain
from voting or vote 'for this new party.
So Jar as not voting 1s concerned,' I be
Hevo.ln voting if I were up to my neck
in. blood. .
"In regard to a Presidential nomina
tion I have no desire or ambition to be
dragged around in the mud.
"This action of the colored people seek-1
Ing a new party la no doubt Inspired by
the recent talk about repealing the 15th
amendment. The United States will never
repeal the 15th amendment There is a
pretty general feeling among the colored
people against the Republican party this
cqmlng election If President McKinley is
the standard-bearer. McKinley has no
sympathy for the negro."

RUSSIA WANTS MONEY,
Needs More Cash to Complete the
'Trans-Cancasian Line.
NEW YORK. June 7. The advices from
London that M. Rothsteln. a well-known
financier of St Petersburg, would soon
arrive In this country, with a view to
looking over the situation here as an agent
of his government and determining wheth
er or not a large Russian loan could be
floated in the United States, ares .said by
leading foreign bankers in thl3 city to be
accurate. Whether or not M. Rothsteln
shall ultimately be successful In his mis
sion, however, It Is not believed by prom
inent local financiers that he will be able
to place a loan of any magnitude In tha
United States for the next few months,
until the Presidential campaign shall be
ended.
It may be remembered that In February
of this year, the Russian Imperial Gov
ernment negotiated a loanjof $15,000,000
with a syndicate of New York banks,
trust companies and insurance companies.
In exchange for their money the syndicate
received four per cent bonds, guaranteed
principal and Interest by the Russian
Government and secured by a first mort
gage on the Wladikawkos Railway System.
The loan how sought is also for railway
construction, according to a Wall street
man Interested In the February operation,
who said:
"M- Rothsteln, President of the Russian
Imperial Bank of St Petersburg, and one
of the government's trusted agents Is, I
have been informed, coming here to get
money for tho Russian trans-Caucasian
railway. This is one of the longest road3
In the world and Is not completed by any
means. Money Is needed. M. Rothsteln
!A coming from London here, and Is going
to Washington to see the Russian Min
ister, through whom all negotiations are
to be made."
The London report also said that a
large Jlusso-Amerlcan bank might be es
tablished here as an outcome of M. Roth
stein's visit, but this Is regarded by high
authorities here as exceedingly unlikely.
Refuse to Parade.
PHILADELPHIA, June 7. Because the
Republican National Convention Hall Is
said to have been completed by nonunion
labor, the 43 organizations of the Allied
Building Trades Council refused today to
accept an invitation to participate in the
parade of the Allied Republican Clube dur
ing convention week. The trade organiza
tions were asked to turn out 20 men each
In the parade. The invitation was sent
by the Young Republicans, the most
prominent political organization in thi3
city. Each union affiliated" with the Al
lied Council declined on Its own account
to parade, and R. T. Mitchell, secretary
of the council, replied for the organiza
tions as a body.
