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 ter end will cease. It Is noticeable that some of the Russian official. 1 apeak approvingly of the latter propo sltion. They say peace is Impossi ble If an indemnity or any humiliating conditions are asked, so that the elim Capture of An American Steamer.

Doth thede- state tliat they have pos lions not to talk about bl£ be take: the arrival 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. FOUND DEAD WOMAN IN CAB.

BOMB EXPLOSION * CAUSES EXCITEMENT 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. At the British embassy ancf late Mr. McCullough is unknown.
