WAITING ON GUlTERAS.
Acting Surgeon General Will Act Upon His De-
 cision of the Malady.

Washdng.on, Sept. 6.JThe latest i'm formation received by pr. Bailbache, acting surgeon-genera1 of the Marine Hospital Service, is ito the effect that the disease prevalent at Ocean Springs, Miss is yellcIw fever. This comes from Assistant Surgeon Wasdin, whose reg uIar station is alt Mobile but who was granted permission to go to Ocean Springs dn company with other physt- cians and it is In accord with the con- clusdors reached by Melssrs. Haralson and Hunter, of the Mitssis ssippi state board of health, cn their report to Gov. McLaurin. Dr. Wasd.n's dlspatch is as follows:
 "A second autopsy confirms the dag r1icefs of yellow fever. There is general acquiescerse in this opinion. The town is nearly depopulated. No need of great alarm.'
 Notwithstanding the opinion reached by Dr. Wesdin, the officials are loathe Ito believe that the disease Is yellow fe- yer. While attaching much importance to Dr. Wasdin's opinion, the bureau, in view of the gravity of the subject, will await the investigation of pr. Guiteras,
  ed to go to Ocean Springs, before any action is taken. The latter is an au- thorfty on the disease. Dr. Guitears is a Cuban by birth, frars himself had yell low fever and has spent much time in places where it has existed. Gt is felt that his view of the disease should be had before any stringent measures of precaution are taken, tn view of the fact that such regulations involve great hard ships, and in view of the further fact that l.he reports are of such a nature as to make the officials here koubt whether there is any yellow fever at all. It is not known just when Dr. Guiteras will reach Ocean Springs, but the ptesump- ton is that he will start promptly for that place. The action to be taken hereafter will depend almost entirely on the nature of his. report. If the dis ease is judged by him to be yellow fever vigorous steps will be taken to prevent its spread and to stamp it out. A camp of detention will be established and other necessary measures be taken. The opinion of Dr. Bailhache is that the dis ease can be confined to a limited area and that it cam make little if any head way, as the season of frost is now near at hand.
 Telegrama of inquiry from physicians in all parts of the country are being received by Dr. BaiVbache concerning .nhe reported existence of yellow fever.

WOMAN IN THE CASE.
CAUSED THE DOWNFALL OF A
CHICAGO BANK.
University Of Illinois Radley Crippled
by Failure of the Globe Savings-
Recreant Agent of the Peoples
Trust Turns Over Assets.
SDald'ug ASSIGNS.


Charles w. Spalding, ex-president of the
Globe Savings Bank of Chicago, and ex-
treasurer of the University of Illinois,
made voluntary assignment to the uni
versity trustees of realty and bond Sc
curities approximating 100000. Much
of this property is already in the hands of
the Chicago Title and Trust Company,
receiver of the Globe Savings Bank.
Only $124,000 Of university bonds have
been found in the Globe Savings Bank
and in the Globe safety deposit vaults,
where ex-Treasurer Spalding is supposed
to have deposited his securities.
The banks which hold university securi-
ties as collateral for loans made G. w.
Spalding announce they will resist any
effort the university trustees may make to
recover the collateral placed with them
by Spalding. Ex-Treasurer Spalding de-
clared in q star-chamber meeting that he
was obliged to hypothecate the university
bonds in order to meet the drafts of the
university for current expenses. Spalding
brands as false and malicious the charges
that have been made against him, declar-
ing that the Globe savings depositors will
be paid in full.
Unless a loan is negotiated by the trus-
tees of the University of Illinois, an APP
preparation is made by the State Legis-
lature or money is given to the institu-
ton it will be compelled to close its doors.

It develops that Bank Examiner Hayden
advised State Auditor Gore as early as
Jan. 9, 1897, to close the Globe Savings
Bank.
The above, briefly stated, comprise the
chief developments in one the most gil
gantic financial scandals in the history of
Illinois. In connection with the matter
has been great deal of gossip concerning
Spalding's relations with Miss s. Louise
Erwin, a stenographer in the bank. This
alliance broke up Spaldings home and
caused the retirement two years ago of
two officials from the Globe Savings
Bank A feeling of dread for the newt
able outcome led Vice-President Cilley
and Cashier Jackson to resign their re-
spective positions within three days of
each other in the spring of 1895. Horatio
n. Cilley said: 1.-THE chief motive impell-
ing me was a conviction on my part that
Mr.. Spalding's relations with Miss Erwin
would end disastrously both for his bust
ness interests and his reputation socially.
I always found him honest and capable
in every business transaction, but his con-
duct as regarded Miss Erwin, leading to
his estrangement from his wife and fam
lily, was being unfavorably commented on
and undermined the confidence and regard
of even his lifelong friends. Those mat
tiers reacted on his business relations"
Charles Jackson resigned the cashiers
desk of the Globe few days after Mr..
Cilley quit the vice-presidency. Mr.. Jack
son very frankly admitted that he re-
signed his place in the Globe Bank solely
because he knew that Spalding's relations
with Miss Erwin would ultimately ruin
the bank president.

A Valuable Rats Nesf

While workmen were engaged last
week in demolishing a barn on the
Thompson property in Dobbs Ferry,
N. T., they found under the roof a rats
nest which was made of greenbacks.
The money had been badly torn and
cheWed, but most of it, if not all, is re-
deemable.
Prof. Thomas F. Thompson, who
now OWNS the property, says the mon
ey was probably hidden under the
barn floor some years ago by his faith
er, Robert Thompson, who began to act
queerly in 1889, and became possessed
of a fear Of banks, lawyers and cor
porations. After that he carried his
money about him. He seldom, if ever,
allowed any one but himself to visit
the barn. Mr.. Thompson ST. died Sept.
IL, 1898, and Prof. Thompson's mother
lived until December last.
By her will the estate, which con-
sisted of $4,000 and the house and land,
was to be divided equally between
Prof. Thompson and his brother. The
Professor took the house and his broth
Ell the money. In equity the money
found in the rats nest belongs to Prof
Thompson. The Professor is a blind
musician and has composed a number
of pieces.
The total amount of money in the
rats nest is thought to be about 81 900.
1t is in So, $40 and $50 bills.-New York

GREATER FINANCIAL INDEPEND-


For many years not since the war, has
the volume of American securities hold in
Europe been less than at the present time
During the past six years our securities
have been coming back so fast that they
have at times embarrassed our financial af-
fairs by creating heavy demand upon our
stock of gold. In 1890, with the bursting Of
the verge of a great panic. BY saving Bar
ing brothers the Bank of England checked
it, but did not restore confidence. For
time British investors were afraid Of every
sort of foreign security, and flung upon the
market 81, 200 0O0, 900 of American securities.
On the reports of their experts on the
values and prospects of railroads in which
they held bonds, the Germans followed
suit. In 1898, the panic here caused more
securities to be sent home and sold for
what they would bring. Large blocks of
stock were brought back. but during the
recent advances these have been sold for
the profit.
Under such circumstances, it is believed
that Europe's holdings of American secur-
tiles are now reduced to a volume so low
that this country was never SO Independent
of what is called "the money power of the
old world" Mr.. Bryan, Of course, does not
know these facts. Neither he nor his kind
who are laboring to discourage the people
desire to present such hopeful truths The
British do not own one railroad, as Mr..
Bryan asserted not long ago, though they
do own manufacturing stocks and beer
syndicates. The trade balance in favor of
us is very large and is likely to continue
favorable to us for an indefinite period.
Such conditions make it impossible for Eu
ropean spectators to throw back upon
our markets large blocks of our Sc
curities in seasons of peril or to draw upon
us for millions of interest annually.
These conditions place this country in
position of independence. For the first time
in our history it seems that we have suffi-
Client money for the prosecution of home
enterprises without borrowing abroad. In
fact, we have practically reached that in
dependence which it has been told we
should occupy if we should change to
silver basis. We have reached it ON the
basis of the worlds money.
