RUSSIA, PERSIA, AND MONGOLIA.
A STATEMENT BY THE "TIMES"
** CORRESPONDENT.
ST. PETEREBURO, February 6th, la comments on the loan to Persia in the Russian paper and financial society that transaction has been pretty generally represent ed, in its political.aspect, as directed, against British influence, and pregnant with possibili. cles and consequences of enormous importance to Russia and corresponding diadvantage to England. This opinion is bassed on the stipus Jations obliging Persia to pay off the English loan and depriving her of the liberty of enter ing into any other foreign pecuniary engage
ment. The latter restriction may be compared to the Russian Convention binding the Shah's Government not to allow the construction of railways tatil the end ofisinterested solicitude the century. A stran ge way of showing the boasted of in Russian journals for the develop ment and progress of Persia! The consensus of opinion seems to be that the conditions of the loan, so far as at present disclosed, place Persia entirely at Russia's mercy in the im mediate future, and if this has not yet been seen in England it is no doubt owing
to the all-absorbing concern for the state. of affairs in South Africa. It was for the very reason that the news was published bere on the eve of the meeting of Parliament, so as to attract as little attention as possible, the matter having been ripe for signature many months before. It is very doubtful if the British Government, as stated in a telegram to day from London, were confidentially informed of the arrangement in advance, It is quite certain that no one here outside the Persian Embassy and the 'official and financial circle directly concerned kocw anything at all about it, although there had been vague rumours of some loan in connection with Persian railway schemes. In fact, the Persian Minister was specially requested by the Russian Minister of Finance to keep the matter secret, which he did by denying all knowledge of any negotia tions whatever down to the very last moment. There is no doubt that negotiations were begun at Teberán a long time ago, but difficulties, it is said, were raised at the instigation of the British representative,
The fact that the business has now been accomplished by Russia is regarded as undeni able proof of England's complete loss of in- fluence at the Shah's Court, in spite of the fact that the Imperial Bank of Persia is an English institution. The failure of attempts to obtain the comparatively small sum of a couple of million pounds in England is attributed, as usual, to the repugnance of the British Govern- ment to give any kind of guarantee of support. The same complaint was nude at the time of the last loan to China. The sum of money in itself is insignificant, but the conditions cause everybody to regard the loan as another feather in the cap of M. Witte, whose far-reaching in- Buence on foreign affairs in this way is undis pated. His policy in regard to Persia is analogous to ihai inaugurated in China by the establishment of the Russo Chinese. Bank, which gave birth to the more important Eastern Chinese Railyway Company. Russia's advantageous position in Chima 10 day is due to M. Witte and the able men gath cred round him working through these institu tions, rather than to the occupation of Port Ar thur, which was considered a premature cause of friction that the Minister of Finance would have gladly avoided. The Loan Bank of Peri sia, which was founded by one or two of M. Witte's able co-operators of the Jewish race, is now nothing more nor less than a branch of the State Bank of Russia, and therefore the loan is practically a Govemment one. It is stated that the Government Savings Bank, which now has

THE GERMANS IN THE
· FAR EAST ·
The following notes of the French Consul General at Hamburg, addressed to the French Govermant, may be of interest :—" England still occupies first rank in the Chinese ports, leaving all other nations far behind. In 1898 English ships transported over half (ad valorem) of the merchandise unloaded in these ports, whlist China for the same year accounts only for a third of the general tariff, Japan contri butes with 3 per cent, and the United States with 1 per cent. Altogether, European mer cantile marines represent 62 per cent of the movement in Chinese ports, and, if England is left out of consideration, the other European the general commerce. nations are concerned with only a tenth of Nevertheless the relative importance of German navigation is being manifested. It amounts to 55 per cent. of the movement of the European States, Great Britain excluded, and, taking into account this Power, one-eleventh of the Euro pean trade exchanges. Consequently, the Ger man marine ranks now immediately after Great Britian's, being followed, but at a considerable distance, by France, Sweden, and Norway, In the coasting trade German shippers are also drawing large profits. According to the latest returns the German Bag has made 1,901 voyages between Chinese ports, representing over 1,000,000 tons, besides 380 journeys between India and China, 325 between India and Japan, 105 between the Russian possessions and Korea, and, finally, 134 coasting journeys on the Japanese seaboard.

THE COST OF WARSHIPS.
In view of the great and increasing naval expenditure of foreign powers, Engineering directs attention to the purchasing value of the advantage in the less cost of construction. Our outlay, and shows that Britain has a great
Intest battleships, with all modern expensive equipment, cost is, complete with guns, £71 add per ton of displacement, which is as fair a on deposit a tal of about 400,00,000 roubles, basis of comparison as it is possible to get. The will absorb a great proportion, if not all, of the battleships which the French are now building, Persian bonds as a good investment. The bonds
and those they propose to lay down, certainly to be be issued to the public under the guaran tee of the Russian Government, if and whenever

I refer to this simply because Cressy class are to cost about 64 tos per tan the last paragraph on this point in the official displacement, and the cost of the correspon announcement does not seem to have been ding ships of the other Powers exceed pretty clearly understood,
The comparison might be continued to other much in the same proportion as with battleships,

for the money voted for a battleship for France or Russia, we can build a 5,000-ton cruiser also; or we can build, four battleships for France's
I may here mention that the Russo-Chinese Bank is already extending its activity to Mongolia, which, being situated north of the Great Wall and pursuant to the reference to that boundary in the Anglo-Russian Agree ment, is considered to be as much a part of Russia's recognised and exclusive sphere of influence as the province of Manchuria, The predominance of Russia in Mongolia, however, where Chinese athority is little else than a shadow, has been a patent fact for years. The late General Prejevalsky, with his numerous armed expeditions into that country, quite evernwed both the Chinese and the nomads; and after distributing everywhere portraits of the Russian Imperial family he declared that the summons of a single Cossack was sufficient to bring the whole population down on their knees before the Great White Tsar. The new Russinn business in Mongolia is that of gold mining, and Russian experts who have lately been prospecting state that the precious, metal is to be found in very large quantities. Before many more years have passed the Rus- sian plans in this vast region may surprise in credulous persons like those who scored the warning of approaching events in China uttered from St. Petersburg before even the Chino- Japanese war bad come to a close.
The great meeting of representative Kieghiz and traders from Chinese Mongolia and Russian Siberia, a curious assembly that not takes place every five years, has recently been hold on the Russian frontier of die Seven River pro- vince under the presidency of the Russian Consul of Chuguchak. There was a numerous attendance on this occasion of the headmen of kindred tribes of the borderland of Russia and China, the subjects of both Empires, and traders from the nearest towns. Many speeches were made and all disputes and quarrels amic ably settled.
THE INDIAN BUDGET IN STERLING.
The Rangoon Garelle saysIt is a new de parture to have the Indian Budget Statement issued in sterling, and to those of us who re- member the long period during which the ster ling value of the rupes declined from two-shit: ling, not steadily but with violent, fluctuations which upset all calculations, the new departure" seems a happy augury, We may now reckon on a fairly stable exchange, and we know what bur rupees are worth, which we certainly did not know when exchange was fluctuating wildly at intervals, but always gravitating downwards on the whole, as it did from about 1873 to 1893 Even in the very early nineties the establish- ment of a stable exchange seemed an almost insoluble problem. All sorts of solutions were propounded, mostly of a wildly impracticable character, but except the cranks who put forth "these nostrums, few persons, even eight or ten years ago, would have believed that before the century was out, we should have a Budge state- ment issued in sterling. Yet, such is the case. Under the pressure of necessity, the apparently insoluble problem has been solved, and Govern. ment has no longer to face every year the riski of a heavy fall in exchange. For about twenty.
three, all being equal, and six for Russia's four. If, adds Engineering, we spend the same as both nations together, we get ten for their seven ships. This, however, is a condition which time, with its experience, is nullifying, although perhaps slowly, so we must continue to spond more, even if we get more for our money.
