RU8SIA 13 APPROACHING A CRISIS
French Press Is Favorable to Peac*
and Great Pressure Will Be Brought
To Bear on Czar—American Vesse,
Is Seized.
Paris, March 16.—The postponemeni
of the Russian loan is definitely con
firmed. This is likely to exert a pow
erful influence towards peace as 1t is
the first time the French financier
have shown an indisposition to ad
vance any fund*, while the uncertain
ties of war continue. The following
details of the postponement are from
an authoritative source:
A committee representing the syndi
cate of French underwriters went tc
St. Petersburg to arrange the condi
tlons with the minister of finance and
a contract was drawn up for a $120,-
000,000 loan, taking the form of treas
ury bond* running seven years at E
per cent.
The contract was then brought bach
to Paris for the advance of all the un
derwriters. In the meantime the dis
astrous events in Manchuria naturall)
aroused doubts on the part of flnan
ciers as to whether Russia should
make peace or pursue the war. Th*
influence of the financial elements was
almost unanimous for peace but Rus
sia's distinclination to consider peace
appears to have induced the decision
not to proceed with the contract and
accordingly the signing of which was
expected yesterday has been postponed
and all the pending negotiations are
also postponed. According to the
Russian view this does not mean that
the negotiations have been broken ofl
but merely that they are adjourned as
the Russian authorities say tho syndi
o&te holds Itself bound towards Russia
i before. However, the dream
the adjournment tend tc
that the syndicate inclines tc
wait for some definite development
of peace before proceeding any fur
ther. It is authoritatively denied in
the highest Russian quarters that the
French government exercised any
pressure towards preventing the In
crease of French holdings of Russian
securities. Nevertheless it is probable
that some members of the government
acting individually voiced the pre
vailing view that caution was desira
ble. Since M. Rouvler has combined
la himself the presidency of the coun
ell of ministers and the ministry ol
finance the government has Indirectly
exerted strong influence on private
financial affairs. It Is significant that
the postponement of the loan is coin
ddent with a strong movement of the
Influential French press favorable tc
peace.
Tho Matin prominently displays e
statement believed to reflect the view*
of financial circles which declares that
If Japan is ready to adopt agenerou*
attitude by waiving an indemnity oi
imposing any humiliation upon Russia
then Russia’s policy of war to the bit

that some of the Russian official. 1

Both Gubernatorial Candidates Expect
the Office—All Sorts of Wild Ru
mors Are Afloat in Regard to the
Situation.
Denver, Colo., March 16.—All sort*
of wild rumors regarding the situation
in the gubernatorial contests were 1c
circulation today. One of these wa*
to the effect that two of Governoi
Adams’ supporters in the Joint legis
lative convention had been kidnaped
This lacks verification. It is evident
that the final vote -will determine
whether Governor Alva Adams shall
continue to hold the executive chaii
or shall surrender It to James H. Pea
body will be very close.
It was on this account that the Pea
body leaders secured an adjournment
of the joint convention yesterday. AI
though 48 Republicans, only one lest
than a majority of the Joint convention,
voted yesterday for the recess, it li
confidently asserted by Adams’ friend*
that Peabody will not have more than
44 votes in the final determination ol
the contest. Three Republicans whe
oted for the recess have said that
they did so merely to enable Senatoi
Wood, who was absent yesterday, to
be present when the vote in the con
test is taken. The efforts of tho Pea
body leaders to have his contest treat
ed as the political Issue seem to have
resulted, It is said, in finding mem
bers who have pledged themselves not
to vote for Peabody under any cir
cumstances. It Is said that these Re
publicans have even rejected a propo-
sitlal to vote for Peabody on condi
tion that he would resign immediately
after being seated. The action ol
Lieutenant Governer McDonald, in
casting the deciding vote on the mo
tion for a recess yesterday has opene.
up a wide range of discussion.
The Peabody and an.ti-Peabody Re
publicans then conferred on a scheme
to scat Peabody os governor with an
understanding that he will immediate
ly resign, leaving the office to Lieu
tenant Governor McDonald.
One of the leaders of the anti-Pea
body Republicans said, after adjourn
meat, that Peabody’s resignation had
already been promised.

New York, March 16.—The body ol
a woman who had been dead several'
hours and a man unconscious and ap
parently dying were found in a cab
which was driven up to a Brooklyn
police station on it gallop early today
The man, who was suffering from al
coholism and possibly from the effect*
of a drug, may recover. Both he and
the driver of the cab have been de
tained by the police pending ar. !rives
tlgation or the affair. Although the
condition of the man was so ...jriou}-
th.it he could give tfib police little
Information which would ntd them In

Appels for the fifth circuit, up
on a division of opinion, had cor

The Russian Capital Has An
other Big Sensation.
THREE LIVES REPORTED LOST
Man Who Was Handling Bomb Sup
posed To Be One of the Many Ter
rorists in that City—Several People
Were Injured.
St. Petersburg, March 13.—The ex
plosion of a bomb at the hotel Bristol
adjoining tho hoteJ d’Anglcterre here
just before daylight this morning blow
to atoms tho owner of the bomb, a
man with an English passport, and giv
ing his name as Alfred Henry McCul
lough, and wrecking the adjoining
rooms, the wifo and another officer,
and injuring several other spectators.
Tho bomb explosion was heard many
blocks away, and a tremendous sensa
tion was felt. Not the sllghtlst doubt
exists that the man killed was con
nected with tho Terrorist plots.
The bomb was of the same power
as those which killed the late min
ister of the interior, Von Plehve and
Grand Duke' 6crgius, creating tha
aame havoc as did tho explosion at the
hotel du Nord last spring. The pre
liminary investigation of police leads
them to believe that McCullough was
engaged either in packing his effects
at the hotel Brlsto todny or in prepar
ing for some other desperate enter
prise today, when the bomb, which,
like all infernal mnchlnes of tho Ter
rorists, was provided with gravity
tubes, fell and exploded as tho ono at
the hotel du Nord did.
The police immediately surrounded
the hotel, the mounted gendarmes al
lowing no one to come within 60 paeon.
McCullough's legs were tofn off and
the flesh on the upper portion of hla
body shattered, the walls and the ceil
ing were red with blood. The police
believe McCullough was charging
bomb when It exploded.

late Mr. McCullough is unknown.
