London, Djo. 20. At tho grand pub
llo conforcnoo hold Sunday nf tornoon
In St. James hall favoring an Inter
national ratification of thoczar's penco
proposition, William T. Stead said
that though ho coulil not glvo tho ex
act words of tho czar In a recent Inter
view, tho stibslnnco of what Ills Ma
jesty said was ai follows!
"1 look out ovor tho world: I study
our civilization and I do not tlud it
very good. I seo nations nil engaged
In seizing or trying to solzi, nil terri
tory not occupied yet by European
powers. 1 look at tho results. They
do not ncem to mo to bs good.
"For tho natlvo races what does lm
pcrlat expansion mean? Too often
optum, alcohol nud all mannor of foul
diseases, n great gulf botweon tho
'governed and thoso who rule, and
crushing taxation upon tho native
for tho blessings of this clvll.itlon.
"And for tho nations who sel.o,
what does it moan? A continual in
crease of susplolon, jealousy nud ri
valry; tho heaping up of fleets and
armies In ordor to tako part In a
scramble with tho world, with tho re
sult that tho army and navy aro swal
lowing up moro and more millions
that should bo used for tho welfare of
tho pcoplo aud tho advanccmont of tho
world.
"On top are a fow rich and comfort
able. Down below with an ovor in
creasing pressure of taxes for arma
ment b, is tho groat mass of poor pco
plo, whoso position is not very good.
There is an ovor Increasing multltudo
of thoso below witli tholr breeding
discontent ripening Into Socialism and
developing into all kinds of anarchy.
"No, I do not find our civilization
good. Why do wo mako it so? Wo
have at tho present momont arrived at
this stage that wo have put all our
very best manhood lu tho army, b'o
much is this tho case that wo cannot
mobtllzo tho wholo of our troops In
European countries without dislocat
ing tho wholo fabric of tho social com
munity. "War has becomo so expensive that
no otato can stand tho strain of pro
tracted war without having to look
bankruptcy in tho faco, and wo aro so
perfecting our modern weapons of de
struction that no army can go into tho
floW without losing so largo n propor
tion of Its ofllccrs that whon tho war
Is ovor, even if that army bo victori
ous, tho war will havo lnfllctod Irre
parable loss on tho country.
"What with disconnection caused by
mobilizing, what with empty ex
chequer, what with doolmatcd ranks
of loading aud governing mou, loco
nothing beforo any nation except a
torrlblo heritage of revolutionary anarchy."

Sa.vanx.vii, Go., .Dec. 20. At tho
collation of tho ofllccrs of tho Third
Georgia regiment to Postraastor Gon
cral Smith and tho newspaper corres
pondents Goncrnl Shafter bad somo
interesting things to say about Cuba
and tho Cubans.
"It socms to mo," said General Shaf
ter, "that a great many persons havo
an erroneous idea respecting our rela
tions with tho Cubans. As I view It,
wo havo taken Spalu's war upon our
selves. Wo shall in all probability
hear a good doal moro of tho 'Insur
gents.' "
"ilow about Bolf-governmcnt for tho
Cubans?" General Shafter was asked.
"Solf-govcrnment," tho gcnoral re
peated. "Why, thoso pcoplo nro no
moro fit for self-government than gun
powder is for helL"
In tho samo lino, Goncral Shatter
went on to tell why tho United States,
in his opinion, would bo obliged to re
main lu tho island for somo tlmo, and
govern tho territory by military forco.
WAftiuxflTOX, Dec 2'). Thcro nro
sccrs who itredtct Uncle Sam will bo-
como tho banker for tho world. Two
old world governments, Russia and Ja
pan, havo turned their faces to tho
Unltod Statos In search of loans. Rus
sia nt least, has had agents sound
American financiers. This is tho first
tlmo forolgn nations havo sought to
float great national loans in America,
and tho wise men think it Is tho be
ginning of tho now era.
It may uo said 011 authority that Ja
pan needs tho monoy ostcnslblyto moot
a deficit in her revenues pro Jucad by
heavy expenditures for land nnd sea
armaments, and nlso to assist hor in
tho establishment of a national indus
trial bank. That is Japan's official ex
planation of hor needs. In diplomatic
circles It is shrewdly suspected that Ja
pan. is preparing herself for an ulti
mate strugglo with Russia nnd has
been hurried by tho nativity of Russia
in borrowing 855,500,000 to rcplaco hor
artillery with rapld-Hro guns.
It was learned at ono of tho lega
tions yesterday that this loan, recent
ly made in France, is only one-fourth
of what Russia actually needs, and
that Russia has como to this country
for nsslstauco because she failed to
get all sho wanted from Franco. It is
presumed that Japan and Russia be
tween them will want 8100,000,000.
Chicago, Dec. 20. Many of Chicago's
bankers and financiers havo been in
terviewed in relation to tho reportod
application of ono of tho European
powers for n heavy loan in the United
States. John J. Mitchell, president of
tho Illinois Trust and Savings bank,
who has just returned from Now York,
said: "It is truo that Russia and
Japan nro in communication with load
ing financiers in this country with a
view to floating loans. Two wooks
ago I was communlcatod with con
corning tho project by a person of high
authority, nnd I am to hear from this
man further. A lioston houso and a
prominent Now York housa havo been
considering tho mattor for two weeks.
"Tho Russian loan is for tho Russian
railway, guaranteed by the Russian
government, nnd is asked at Z( per
cent. It is not especially surprising
that thoy como to this country, for tlio
United States Is tho cheapest money
market in tho world at prcsont. Rus
sian credit stands high nnd that gov
ernment will probably got whatever
loan It doslres in America. For a Eu
ropean nation to negotiate a loan in
tho Unltod States is a rcvorsil of tho
usual order of things and n now nnd
pleasing condition of affairs."
Nkw Yonic, Dec 2a Henry Clows,
tho banker, said: "I think that Mr.
Kckols, who gavo out tho report, has
heard of negotiations begun by a for-
olgu government, but not an European
government. I am hound In confldonco
not to naino tbo government, but I
may say that a Httlo moro than a
month ago I was asked to mako an of
fer as to tho terms on which I would
negotiato a loan of from 810,000,000 to
520,000,000. I mado my offer and have
not yet recolvcd a roply. Now York
is now tho monoy market of tho
world."

Tho hearing of evidence Introduced by

thought by tho lawyers in the caso
that all tho evidence will bo in this
week nnd that the nrgumonts to tho
jnry will bo mado next Mondny and
