Paris, March 17.—The postponement of the new Russian loan continues to occupy attention in official and finan- cial investment circles. The bankers take the view that the loan is not a failure and that an adjustment of the conditions may still be reached. One of the bankers who went to St. Pe- tershurg relates that during a con- versation with M. Witte the latter re- marked: 7 “We can afford to suffer a defeat in Manchuria but not one in Paris.” This is taken to indicate a strong feeling in St. Petersburg for all possi ble congessions to maintain Russi: financial position in French market. The peace movement has gained a strong impetus by the postponement of the loan and this leads to reports that France is adopting discreet means to induce Russia to accept peace. How: ever, authoritative statements are made that France has not taken any action nor has Russia given any indi- cation of willingness to discuss peace. Nevertheless unofficial Russian influ- ences appear to be operating to en- courage peace movements, probably with the desire to induce Japan to dis- close her minimum condition. The Japanese officials thus far have not shown a disposition to accept the view that they should adopt a mag- nanimous attitude towards Russia. On the contrary they incline to the view that after their overwhelming defeat of the Russians at Mukden it is not op- portune to urge waiving an indemnity or to offer other generous terms which are the basis of the present French peace movement. ASK DIVISION OF LANDS. Agrarian Disturbances Threatened in Russian Provinces. St. Petershurg, March 17.—The strike situation seems everywhere to be improving. The Social Democrats here have advised the strikers, who are without money and confronted with starvation, to return to work and less than 10,000 workmen are now out. On the other hand the prospects of agrarian disturbances on a large scale -are becoming decidedly more threat- ening and are causing the deepest con- cern. any landed proprietors are afraid to go hack to their estates. The movement has not assumed a political phase, but is in the old form of a de- mand for a redistribution of the land. ‘A"itamrfl are shrewdly spreading the report that the emperor has decreed such a division, telling the peasants that the proprietors do not want to submit and thus setting them against the landlords “in the emperor’s name.” The agitation has now spread to Sim- birsk province, where the peasants are making ready to begin a division of the land as soon as the snow melts. It is reported that the terrorists have formally notified the government that they will céase their activity for a month and await the result of the rescript. A story is current that a plot in the aristocratic page corps has been un- earthed, incriminating papers being discovered on the person of a student named Verhofsky, son of the general of that name, and another student, The authorities, howeyer, deny all knowledge of the plot. ] l (OO BARGAIN AGREED UPON JESSE E. M'DONALD LIKELY TO BECOME CHIEF EXECUTIVE - OF COLORADO. lEPUBLIGAII.S DECIDE ON A PLAN PEABODY WILL BE DECLARED ELECTED AND THEN RESIGN FROM OFFICE. :Denver, March 17.—Three men may occupy the chair of chief executive officer of the state of Colorado within a single day if the joint legislative convention ratifies the bargain said to have been agreed upon by ieaders of the contending factions in the Re- publican party. James H. Peabody has agreed to resign immediately after belng seated as governor and permit Lieutenant Governor Jesse BE. Mc¢Don- ald, who is also a Republican, to suc- ceed to the governorship. It is said that five of the twenty-two Republican members of the general assembly who have agreed not to vote for Peabody haye consented to this compromise. Their votes, in addition to the forty- four which Peabody previously had, would give him a majority of one on joint ballot and when the success of this scheme is assured it is likely that some other anti-Peabody Republicans will fall in line with the majority of their party. an element in the Democratic party, it is reported, to refuse to surrender his to hold possession by force.; His brother, Frank Adams, is police com- missioner of this city .and could fur- nish & strong guard Yor the governor sliould the- latter decide to hcld on. Governor Adams has refused to make any statement as to his intentions, but it is generally Delieved that he will retire peacefully if the general assem- bly declares Governor Peabody elected. There was a full attendance of mem- bers when the joint convention assem- bled and the galleries were again crowded. Senator Morton Alexander's report in favor of declaring a vacancy in the office of governor and seating the lieutenant governor in the gov- ernor’s chair was withdrawn. The re- port submitted by Chairman William H. Griffith and three other Republican members of the contest committee ‘was next taken up. This report found that there was much fraud committed by the Democrats at the election on Nov. 8 in forty-eight precincts of Den- ver, but that Governor Adams was legally elected. Representative Griffith moved its adoption, but the motion was lost by a vote of 14 to 82. -OBJECT MERELY DEFENSIVE Italy Strengthening Fortifications on the Austrian Frontier. Rome, March 17.—In view of the international situation which has pre- vailed since Italy entered the triple alliance in 1882 she has entirely neg- lected her fortifications on the east- ern frontier, centering all her efforts on fortifying the western frontier, as Italy’s relations with France were then a conflict seemed imminent. Since 1889, however, the most friendly rela- tions have been re-established with France and the opinion now prevails here~that all the Italian frontiers should be equally protected, not for aggressive purposes but so that Italy may be ready for all possible occur- rences. Consequently the proper authorities have been studying the best method of insuring the safety of the peninsula along the Fastern Alps, which are strategically Italy’s weakest point, as Austrian territory so projects into Italy as to enable a hostile army to be in the heart of Lombardy or Venetia after a few days’ march. Therefore a bill will be presented to parliament making the necessary appropriations for the fortification of the Italian fron- tier in the direction of the Kastern Alps, but any uneasiness on the sub- ject in Austria is not justified, Italy’s ohject being merely defensive. ENTIRELY FOR HIS HEALTH. Secretary Hay Going Abroad on Ad- vice of His Physicians. ‘Washington, March 17.—While Sec- retary Hay has not yet perfected the details of the trip he is about to take it may be said that he expects to be absent from Washington until about the end of April. Most of the time will be spent on the ocean, for the secretary is' going away entirely for the sake of his health and unon the urgent representations of his physi- cians.
