Mr.. Kenyon Replies.

Yesterday mornings Pioneer Press
contains Public Examiner Kenyon s
defense to the charge of malfeasance
filed with Gov. Nelson, May 18th
inst, by Mr.. John Burke. The
charge is based upon Mr.. Kenyon's
report, March %, 1892, of the condi-
tion of the Guaranty Loan Company
of Minneapolis, in which Mr.. Kenyon
says "said company's affairs appear
to be in good condition, and are ap-
parently we'll and carefully man.
aged"
In January, 1891, Mr.. Burke sent
circular to Thomas Lowry, VIM. H.
Eustice, G. H. Petit, Loren and H..
E. Fletcher, Geo. A. and John s..
Pillsbury, L. F. Menage, VIM. D..
Washburn, A. j. Dean, P. H. Neher,
(Troy N.Y., j. M. Alderman perm
dener r. ~, Chas. Robinson. and w.
S. Streeter, all of whom have or had
been directors of the Guaranty Loan
Co., and which, Mr.. Burke affirms
was later filed with the Attorney
General, Public Examiner and Gov
ernor of this state. 1t was alleged
in this circular that the northwest
ern Guaranty Loan Company was on
the verge of insolvency which must
ensue unless prompt action was TAX
en- to avert the impending disaster
by changing the management and
the managers of the institution.
The circular says:
'Since 1884 Louis F. Menage, presi-
dent of the Northwestern Guaranty
Loan Co. has paid to Louis F.
Menage as an individual nearly two
million dollars. He has been both
payOr and payee, lender and borrow
er, and not always upon the best or
most approved securities.
During the same period the company
on alleged adequate security has
paid approximately the following
sums:

Western bankers have been max
ing liberal shipments of gold to
Secretary Carlisle apparently from a
patriotic desire TO relieve the strain
upon the treasury. Is the money
power disentegrating that we find
the western banker fighting the east
ern banker? Does the patriotism of
these occidental bankers outweigh
their allegiance to their money-bags?
Do figs grow from thistles, or has
the secretary been secretly issuing
gold bonds?

Mr.. Burke alleges that again, in
September, 1891, he addressed COM
munications to the Insurance Com
missioner, governor, attorney general
and public examiner of this state in
which it was asserted that the COM
pany had, "in August, 1890, an alleg-
ed capital of $1,OOO,0OO, with alleged
assets of $3,3O8, 026.95, and an indebt-
edness of over 1929, 1850, or an in
debtedness of 81, 489, 1850 in excess
of the amount allowed by law and it's
articles of Incorporation"
The communication continues:
eve desire to call attention to GER
tain mortgages made to said COM
pany by James e.. Merritt, and re-
corded in book 21O, at pages 504 to
5l2, 526, 527, and 532, aggregating
about $4,000, on land, in McNair
Park, assessed at about $500, and
as near as we can tell, worth not to
exceed $4,000, for the loans run from
500 to 81 900 lot, or say from $500
to $500 an acre, when the highest
reliable estimate we can get on the
value of the land is $1,000 an acre.
X Under these circumstances
we demand that Public Examiner
Kenyon, Governor William r. Merri-
am and the other state officers do
their duty in accordance to the de-
mands of decency and law"
Mr. Kenyon in his defense says: II
was then of the opinion, and am
still, that my powers did not extend
to nor embrace that class of institu-
tions; but in Difference to the gentle
man named (Gov. Merriam) the
work was assumed by me-" Aside
from this point the gist Of his whole
defence is contained in the following
paragraph which is taken verbatim
from his answer:
In determining the value of the
securities held by the said company,
l relied in measure, as I was fully
justified in doing, upon the appraisal
thereof caused to be made by Mr..

PORTLAND. June 2.-The Northern Pacific
cut in passenger rates was the sole topic Of
conversation in railroad circles today. The
reduction was unexpected and the off,
cials of the other roads were taken
by surprise. Assistant General Passenger
Agent Hurlburt, Of the Union Pacific, was
not prepared to state what position his
company will take and would say nothing
until he received definite information from
headquarters. General Agent Hineline, of
the Canadian Pacific, would volunteer no
information on the situation.
One effect of the cut was to depress pas
senger traffic. Before the announcement
travellers became satisfied that there
would be no further reduction and busi-
ness began to settle down with q
steady increase in the sale Of
tickets. But today very few tickets
to Chicago were sold at any of the offices.
and it is not probable that there will DO
many Worlds fair passengers from Port
land until the new rates 20 into effect.

varying Grades Produce Olmcultlos-
Claim for Holly Pump kepairs.
The board Of public works was yesterday
asked by E. +. Whittier to furnish the so,u-
ton of . difficult problem which has been
encountered in the construction Of the
Union Trunk lines Baxter street extern
sion. The grade Of Jackson at Taylor street
is two feet above the established grade and
the Yesler avenue cable track 10 built on
that level, the property owners having OBJ
jected to its being lowered. The franchise
requires Nj. Whittier to build his road at
the established grade, but he cannot make
the crossing without having the cable
track lowered. Acting Mayor Miller had
refused to grant him permit to work at
night unless he conformed TO the estab-
lisned grade. but tho board had refused
the cable company permission to lower its
grade without grading the whole street.
He had aire ady regarded Taylor street
and thought it unjust to require him to re-
grade Jackson street also. He asked per-
mission to cross at the cable tracks grade.
as no did no. wish to have to change his
tracks afterward. but this was declared out
of the power Of the board and nothing was
done In the matter.
Superintendent Calligan reported the
expense incurred in putting the Holly
pump in order and it was decided to for
ward to the Holly Manufacturing Com
pany claim for S55142. together with .
copy Of J. NJ. Colman's report.
Street Commissioner Ryan was directed
to communicate with the Madison Street
Cable Railway Company in regard to the
piles Of dirt thrown up in the street in
making the cut near the eastern end of the
line.
On the petition of Dr.. G. A. Reich. the
street commissioner was directed to make
an estimate OF the cost of laying old
planks on Williamson from Madison to
knight street.
George Kinnear asked permission to de-
viate from the requirements Of the ordi-
nance in regard to the use Of the streets
during building and was referred to the
corporation counsel.
