MINT CROOKEDNESs.
SAN Francisco, Aug. 26.-Ex-G Gov. A. A.
Lowe, of the Anglo California bank, pub
fishes letter reviewing mint affairs, particu-
larly the conduct of the late Superintendent
La Grange and Congressman Pages connec-
tion with the affairs of that institution. Lowe
was member of the commission that inyes-
tigated La Oranges administration. He saws
the commission were morally convinced of
the truth of many of the strong charges
made against La Grange, but were
compelled to exclude information on these
points because the testimony offered was not
strictly legal Since, however, Lowe has
come in possession of undoubted proofs that
the Bank OF California was in corrupt collu-
sion with La Grange and on the night before
the failure of that bank several hundred dol
lars were removed from the refinery and sold.
In addition to this Lowe asserts that there
had been jobbing in the the purchase of the
mint's supplies, through which the
government was robbed of large sums
Of money. The political ownership Of the es-
tablishment is also pointed out by Lowe.
Lowe says the Anglo California bank enioyed
no favors over other bullion depositors at the
mint He says Dodge's administration has
been IN every respect honorable and economi-
cal. He says Pages charges were made in a
spirit of vindictiveness, because Dodge would
no longer fill the mint with Pages followers,
and is severe in his structures upon Pages
course. -r
