" Would the railroad strike have oc curred if there had Ut-n no Pullman trouble," asked Coinmipsioin-r Wright. "No; the Pullman strike wa the prime cause. We desired to stop Pull man's car ami phut olf hi income, thus lorcing him to arbitrate, but the rail mail men hud grievances ol their ow n.

A tael I estimated to he worth about one ounce and one Ihinl of silver or, roughly speaking. Cm sterling, or 11.40. AUmt a month ago China inquired through the Hung Kong and Shanghai Bank for the rate at which such a loan, to he made in silver, could I ellecteil. The batik ottered to loan the Chinese government 1,000,000. Janline, Matheson A Co., who had also la-en consulted in regant to the propoeed Chinese loan, ottered to loan China an other I'l.OtiO.OiM) or a much a thn gov ernment should require, but Yiceroy Chang declined laith oiler at that time, saying there wa no immediate necessity lor the loan, a China hail plenty to go on with. l-atcr, however, it became known that, in view ol the repayment ol the last por tion of the present 7 and A percent gold Uinds due at the Hong; Kong and shanghai Banking Company in January IH'.iA, and In view alio of' war needs, China desired to Increase the amount ol her available cash. A syndicate ol tier man banker wa at once forme-1 in Ber lin, and their agent at Tien lain were instructed to aak Yiceroy U Hung Chang lor anoiitmn ol the loan. Doien of I-on-don and other promoter followed the example of the German bankers, and U Hung Chang and the Chinese Min ister here were la-sieged with oiler from responsible and irreKnible partie an x ion to have a share of aome de scription in the Chinese loan. A a re sult, it I probable that over 6,000,000 wa offered to China, and thi produced the knowledge that China wa not in clined to pay over 4 per cent lor her loan. There it no doubt that l.&00,000 void will las issued here early in Sentem U-r. The loan will probably consist ol 4 per cent thirty-year tmnda, and at least two-thinla ol Una will lie payable to China in ailver. For thi loan there I no anecial security like the custom receipt, but only tlie general faith in China. It i not believed that Berlin will have any controlling hand in the issue ol the loan, although Berlin will probably be compelled to take a portion ol the loan on tin- ground ol floor term. There i a great scramble among thu financier, in eluding liondon broker ol all ranks, to get on the iusideol the operation. There i no doubt that the loan i obtainable in liondon twenty time over. The ne gotiation for the loan have already af (ectetl the price of ailver, and there is no question that ailver will go higher. Some linancitr predict that it will go a higl a 32.1 per ounce.
