ta'acil In tlio prenpectus of a mining scheme.
01VKS TUB OIjAI ) HANI ) .
All Gf lhco pecol-o believed Implicitly In
Mr. Orablo ami his project * . Several of them
'had made repeated trips to the Hlack Hills.
A simple hint In Now York cr Philadelphia
that a mih who was known to have money
might tflko a trip wc.it was sufficient to brln ?
out a cordial Invitation that ho accept the
teen hospitality of Mr. Grnbloand Mr. Kurtz
from Chicago to the Ulack Hills and buck
again.
In the meantime work was being pushed
on the Illack Hills cMlms. One tunnel was
run Into the earth < M feet and a shaft was
sunk 400 feet. This was followed by an
other ahaft which went down 270 feet. Thcro
was In operation at Galena a thirty ton
smeller with a ten stamp mill. Visitors wore
shouti the famota mine of thn Illack Hills
dUtrlct. Then they read In the pnwpcctm
of the comr inythat :
"In t'jo stock of this corrpany the Investor
Invests In an absolute certainty. He Invests
In a ttrlctly legitimate manufacturing en
terprise , with the alclo chnuro In mines on
204 properties , coy one of which la move
llknly to prove n 'Homralako' than not. "
Then they read In another place that "gold
mining Is mow .1 scientific , mathematical
bu ipcss-lllto prrposltlon" and "gold mining
today li a manufacturing enterprise rather
than what wo have considered la the past a
mining enterprise , " and "there Is no chance
about It. It Is a mathematical proposition. "
Mr. Sparks' position as the executive head
of the Sugar tru.it added great weight to the1
standing of the con.r.iny and aided In the
tale of the stock. Tha smelter which he
was to build would belong to the mining
company roil of Itself would be a valuables
Basset. It haw not been built. All this time
n con.ilderablo force of men was kept at work
digging nhafts and tunnels at the mining
( vropcrty and at the end of October Orablo
had expended about $100,000 above what the
statnp mills had earned. Not a dollar c !
the treasury slock had been sold to meet
the bills.
GHAHLH IS OUSTED.
The prominent citizens who had lent f-elr
nam s to float the enterprise begun to
realize the position In which they would be
I.Iacid hv Its collapse. At a mooting- the
Philadelphia caplti.llstn It was dec.ded to
take heroic measures an'J save their repu
tations at least. This was In October ,
flrahlo was turned out of the management of
th" fonrpnny and the .Ic of the- stock was
slopped so far as possible. An executive
.committee of live members was chosen to
look after affairs. W. C. Kurta was deposed
as secretary and Percy a. ni.'kmorc as the
representative of tha Philadelphia people ,
was Inst'.llcd In his place. The holders of
tincompany's notes , with a Uow of protect
ing thi-msolvos , were threatening to save the
prcpi rty. and this meant , of course , a re
ceiver a id a wiping out of the interests of
the thousand or mnro stockholders. Gover
nor PntHsnn and all his associates claim to
bo i B ronfldcnt that the- properties are what
they wire rcpros < ntc < l to bo as they were
two years ago. They profess most profounJ
rotifldcnci' In the ultimate success of the
company. Hut Governor 1'attlson knew lie
never could hope ns.lin to bo 'fleeted to a
7i'.gh ' olllco after he had allowed the use of
Ills name as the. head of a mining company ,
If Hi rough th'-t ' company a la.'no number of
people lost thi'lr money. His a&soclatc-a felt
th ' same way and trgcther they started In
to RCi ; what could he done. It was deter
mined to float a bond Issue for $300,000 and
the proposition was brought before the an
nual meeting of the stockholders In Jersey
City en thi 12th. Thrro wre stormy times
at this meeting when the fact was placed
before the stockholders that If they did not
put up morn money by taking bonds they
would lose what they already had In. Ilonds
to the amount of ? G3,000 wen ? subscribed for.
All through thu rest of January the Phil
adelphia capitalists were worried greatly.
The creditors continued to threaten fore
closure iinil subscription for the bonda did
not grow apace. Up to last Saturday but
$1(10.01)0 ( ) had been subscribed. It Is said that
n larso amount of the subscriptions was
the direct result of the feeling of moral re
sponsibility which the men on thu board of
directors felt'for allowing the use of their
Homes in floating the stock of the company.
It urs believed today that the bond sub-
Hcrlptlon would be succe aful and the prop
erty aaved to the stockholders. In which
caao considerable money will bo expended
In further development work.

The new pcoplo in control of the company
will take legal liters to compel Mr. Searlei
to bull ) } his smeller according to his agree
ment. Thus It is hoped In the end ther.-
may le ; some returns. It Is said that Gra-

of It la pledged for loans. Probably ome

wMch Is hereby presented , both as a di

to the Institution , which has Justly been

WILMAM J. IJUINI.AN , JR.
The leans made by Mr. Qulnlan were on
western securities of various kinds and were
negotiated by Krancls Orable , a promoter of
Itti-S mining and Irrigation schemes. The
first known of the affair by President Wll-
llarmi was when Qulnlan called upon him at
h'a homo on Sunday last and made a full
ntatement. It Is conceded that Qulnlan , as
cashier , had the power to make the loan , but
It Is held that tci a transaction Involving eo
largo an amount of money ho should have
consulted the president.
Mr. Williams said today : "We think that
absolutely the worst lo known and are
strongly In the hope that Mr. Qulmlan's ex
pectations nro true and that a largo part of
the mcney will be recovered. Wo would
rather face the matter and let the public
know the whole truth ,
"Wo have charged off nearly the whole
of the loans to our profit and loss , although
wo are satisfied that we shall recover n .
largo part of the money eventually. '
Ill my opinion , " said President Williams.
"Mr. Qulnlan has been made tbo victim of
clever schemers ; I believe that ho has been
mentally Irresponsible for months , though
there wr.a nothing apparent In his actions
to betray this to us.
"Mr , Qulnlan had known Mr. Grable for
scmo tlmo and olx weeks ago , when the lat
ter naked for a loan of ? , " ,000 to help along
porno schonio of ha ! , .Mr. Quintan gave It to
him , Then came another loan of $5,000 ,
which was also granted. Next Silver was
brought Into the deal. "
"What Is Silver's business ? " President
Williams was asked.
"Chiefly to get money out of banks , " was
the terse answer.
Then Mr. Williams continued : "Mr.
Qulnlan was Induced to make the first loan ,
believing the security to be all right. The
amount was small , hut when a start had
been made the men wanted moro money.
Then , to save the first $5,000 , Mr. Qulnlan
tnado them "another loan of an equal
amount , and to save the $10.00 gave them
another $10,000.
"In this way. In a little moro than six
weeks , the amount of the loans was run up
to almost half a million dollars. It was not
until It reached this flguro that wn knew
anything about It. Then for the flint tlmo
Sir. Qulnlan seemed to realize that some
thing might bo wrong with his accounts.
So last Sunday he called on mo at my hlme.
"I was simply dumbfounded. I had never
before had the slightest suspicion but what
Mr. Qulnlan was all right mentally. Then
I realized that something must bo wrong ,
or he would never have loaned money to
Grablo or Silver or have advanced the most
trivial sums on the security they had given
him. I examined It and decided It was al
most worthiest ) and made up my mind that
Iho baak would lose every cent It had ad
vanced.
"Mr. Qulnlan combattcd this Idea. Ho
ctill Insisted that the security was good and
would fully cover the amount ho had
loaned. I was not able to persuade him
otherwise and at last told him he must re
sign and do this at once In a letter to the
directors. Ho was fearfully broken up by
my decision and did as I told him. The
letter was written Monday and briefly
a tales the case.
"Then when It had been given to the dl-
rectora Mr. Qulnlan loft , the bank for his
homo In Brooklyn. I suppose he Is there
now. "
"I want to * ay this for Mr. Qulnlan : Not
the slightest suspicion of dishonesty rests
upon him. I do not believe that he profited
by these loans to the extent of ono cent.
Kvcry dollar of this bank's money \\hlch
ho gave out went to thcan two men. and he
would never have given them anything , to
siy nothing of the li-ge amnunU UIL.V ob
tained , unless they had maJo Mm believe
their srcurltlco were pODd.
"I am firmly of the opinion that Mr. Quln
lan Is out of h'.a head and that nls trouble
duo to overwork. Ho has undo h's way
up from ofllco boy. During all that time ,
thirty-six years , ho has been Indefatigable
In lib lil-or.
"Of thi < men who got the money from
Qulnlnn , Silver Is the only one known to
inc. "
President Williams estimated I hat Silver
received ? 130,000. and Grablo ? 2'IOUOO.
The directors held n meeting tonight and
a number of clerks wc"e put t , work on
the bcoks. It la not known ct present what
notion the directors Intend to take In getting
their money back.
Grablo was once president of thn HMmon-
ton Stone company , nnd six iionrh > , iii ; the
company moved to Philadelphia. It li s'v-tfj
that Grablo was president of the IniTsrate
Land & Canal comr/Jny. and that he Is ntlil
president of the Union Hill Milling company ,

Sllvrr also gained a certain notorlc-ty In
connection with the failure of the Washing
ton National bank on March 13 , ISO I. The
retirement of Henry Iluckhout from the vice
presidency of the Third National bank sev
eral yo rs ago was directly due to his rela
tions with Silver.
The Chemical National bank Is ono of the
must i > ro.'i > erous institutions of Its kind In
tint country and should till thn amount loaned
by Mr. Qulnlan prove a loss the bank's
credit would not bo affected. Its shares of

latlng on the Stock exchange during tha
panic , so ho has nothing with which to
make good any lenses ' .rising from hi * bad

WASHINGTON , Feb. 2. Senator White

Ition to the Hawaiian annexation treaty In
the executive session of the senate- today ,
ainU many Interruptions nnd much crccs-
flro. In the main , his speech wa.i a cont'n-
uatlon of Iho argument on constitutional
lines which was begun yesterday , but ho
also took up cpicstions of practical purport
In todays speech , and umlortnok to snow
that for reasons of commerce and defense
the acqulotlon of the Islands would bo uu-
wl.so.
Previous to Mr. White's speech the sivito

tory which It would require a navy to de

jority was found to be against the proposi

Scnitor White then tool ; up the conten
tion tint the control of Honolulu \vaa nec-
csiary to the defense of the Nicaragua canal ,
and UHsertPd that ( hero wcs no foundation
to suppo t It , and gave figures to show that
In case do'orao of the canal became noc-
CF.siry by this country It would bo defended
from cither San Diego or an Francisco and
not from Honolulu. Ho raid that no enemy
could use Honolulu nn a bnso of suplUes In
ca.io nf war with the United States , bucaiiEi
the modern war vessel doca not carry enough
coal to make the round trip and to delay
for hostile purposes ,
Ho quoted Admiral Ilcllinin to the effect
that Honolulu could bo fortified effectually ,
and General Schoflcld to the effect that it
could not bo fortified at all by Innd defense ,
wlilch showH that the authorities differ.
The senator challenged anyone to yroduco
woof of hostile Intentions on the r-Jrt of
Enqland. Jti.nn , Germany or nny other power
and cited the declarations of various states
men from each country repudiating any do-
filro to Interfere In any manner with the
tlnltnd Statps.
Senator Tlllman oamo Into Iho debate ,
making some assertions which created a
breezy stir for a few mlmitea. The South
Carolina sonotor referred to t'.ie recent Ha-
wallon revolution and to what ho termed the
effort of the republican party to establish n
government In tbo Interest of the white people
ple of the Islands , when they numbered only
ono out of thirty of the Inhabitants and In
this connection referred to the reorganiza
tion of party lines In the south after the
war.

line , atteinllng to establish a white man's
government. The republican narty Intcrfcrrod
with us then , or atteirpted to do so. pro
fessing to hold opinions about the cacrcd
rights of the majority to rule. " "I should
like lo know , " he continued , "whether the
republican eiarty has changed Its opinion on
this subject of the right of Hie white men
to rule , for If It lias and will extend It to the
southern nlotes , I will vote for the treaty. "
"Tho distinguished senator from South
Carolina evidently knows all about tbo ef
fort to re-establish the white man's party In
thu eouth after tbo war and could doubtless
give us much Interesting Information on that
point , " saU Senator Chandler.
"I do know something about It , " re
sponded Mr , Tlllman , "and I know that there
was toiao cheating anil some use of the shot
gun In those times , as there probably was In
Hawaii. "
"Tho senator from South Carolina would , I
hardly think , " Interrupted Senator Hoar ,
"say In open session what bo has said hero , "
"I am willing to eay It anywhere , " said
Mr. Tlllman. "I want the same policy all

Probably tbo most significant occurrence ot

WASHINGTON , Feb. 2. The consideration
of the naval appropiiation bill before -the sub
committee now framing It hns drawn atten
tion to the dissimilarity of arms used by the
army and the navy , and Representative Hil-
bom of California , a member of the commit
tee , feels ttat steps should be taken to
bring about uniformity in the arms ofthe
various blanches of the government service.
Sir. Hllborn points out that at present the
army gun Iq the Krag-Jorgeinsen cf tblrty-
callbcr , while the navy uses the Lee gun of
twcnty-clght-callber. In case of on
emergency there could bo no Interchange
and a reserve supply of ammunition by one
branch could not bo available to the other
branch. Thla Is .teld to be nartlcularly
noticeable in the case of the marine coiys ,
w'jlch Is n naval branch which operates
with the Infantry branch of the army. Al
though thus brought together , the marines
have the small caliber rifle , while the in
fantry has the larger caliber. The equip
ments of ono are therefore of no use to the
others , Sir. Hllborn does not expect to nee
this remedied by the naval appropriation
bill , but favors a Joint committee of the
senate cud house who could take expert
testimony with a view of securing uni
formity ,

the postmaster general and lo the Treasury
department the result of ono month's work
In examining postmasters' money order ac
counts made under the system In use for
three years prior to January 1 last. Under
that system the stub or coupon on the orders
was used to check the accounts , but owing
to the great number of mistakes that were
dally made In cutting the Irregular marginal
edge and for other reasons , the auditor be
lieved them was ground for fraudulent prac-
tlcru on the part of postmasters. The now
practice put Into effect was to check the
accounts against the amount found to have
been actually paid out by the paying olllco.
The auditor says the mistakes and discrepan
cies discovered in the examination of prob
ably 2COO,000 orders Justify the department
In making the change put Into effect about
a month ago. Ho declines to say whether

In the United States. Among the several !
addresses the principal ono was that ot
Senator John .M. Thurston of Nebraska.
The Union -I-MRtto club Is Identified with
that faction of the republican party of Mary-

under the leadership of Senator Wellington ,
met defeat nt the sla-'jo republican conven
tion last summer. The club was Incorpor
soon after the iJofoal of the organiza
tion , nnd now bs about 2,2nO members.
Senator Thumton Introduced his speech
with complimentary references to republican ,
successes In Maryland ami to the recent
election of Judge McCoinas. He culoKlrcti
President McKlnley's bravery In coining out
pUarcly ( ) on the financial issue in his Now
York nddrr o , quoting the vote of ropubllrnn
senators on the Teller resolution as the ap-
prouil of the prciildcnl'a attitude. Ho said
the present situation WM full ot dargcr to
the republican party and contlnuodVo :
shall not bo stampeded or frlgiitcncil If his
tory repeats Itself at tin- next coiiKroslonal t
election and returns a congress In opposition }
to the administration. No man li worthy
to bo trusted with place or power who dls-
rcgards the dangora of any hour or of any
situation. No man h true to tbo rwponsl-
bllltles of pluco or power who conceals them
from the people. I bollovo the rcpuMtam
party Is In danger of loslm ; 'ho next con
gress , nnd so believing , It were cowardly on
my pait not to say KO. "
KospoctIiiK the financial question. Senator
Tliuiston enldVc : have a congressional
situation at Washington which bis caused
great apprehension to thu business lutnrcftii
of tlio country. It Is evident to every citi
zen , that In the face ot the Fifty-llflh
Congress , no financial legislation of any kind
can pass the two houses ns at present con
stituted. It Is therefore plain that the people
plo of the United Statca arc to be pcrmlllo.l
to do btislncsii for the next thico years with
out any posalhlu Interference by nuw legis
lation , with monetary conditions or financial
off , Ura.
"For my party , I am glad the coiiKrcssot
the United States Is unable to legislate on
the financial qiu atlon. I am In favor of
*
-r/
giving the country a rest from threatened -\jj 4
financial legislation , and In my Judgment " fr i ,
the nun who nt the present tlmo nnd under
existing conditions seeks to force gold reso
lutions through the houseof r/-presontallvcs /
Is no less politically unwise than the man
who forces a silver- resolution through the
son-lie. Glvo the business of the country a
chance. Glvo this country three years with
out financial agitation or calamity prophecy
and wio will have outgrown Iho money ques
tion altogether , "
Alluding to the annex-Ulon of Hawaii lie
said : "Tlio proposed annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands in a matter that ought to
receive the most careful , deliberate- - and dla-
passloua'o ' consideration. Wo must not
( nerloolc the f-Jct that the annexation of the
Hawaiian islands commits this government
to -marked departure from all of Its pant
traordlnary responsibilities and unquestion
ably Invites now ' .laugors. If to ndvunce our

means that this government commits ItsoIC
to the policy of maintaining a great navy.
