Russia Obtains a Loan
Russia has concluded arraugomenty for obtaining from bankers of Paris a loan o 75,000,000 francs. The money is to be expended in the conatrernity of the Gulf ot Perekop in the Black Ssu, across tho neck of land joining the Crimea to the mainland, to the Sea of Azov, in order to afford a direct water route from the river Don to the Black Sea. The proposed route would be shorter, more direct, and much easier from the mouth of the Don to either Odessa, the mouths of the Danube, Seba--topoi, or the Boephorue than the prepent one by way of the strait of Kertch. which is both rcundabout and difficult. The railways adjacent to this new water route will be put in direct communication with it.
