1t is also averred that Spalding hal
used the money of the bank to pay life

the extent of $50. 900. Another section
of the amended bill says that Spalding
Edward Hayes. Charles ]. Ford and
John w. Lanehart, deceased, the latter
either for himself or Ex-Governor John
p. Altgeld, purchased a tract of land
of eighty acres in Cook county, and
Spalding, it is alleged. paid for his

charged that Ford, Lanehart or Alt
geld knew this. OF the sum of 100000,
which the state auditor ordered

Chicago. April 14.-Treasurer Spald-
Ing, of the board of trustees Of the Uni
versity OF Illinois, who was expected to
come before the meeting Of the board
yesterday and explain the disappearance
of the university funds entrusted to his
keeping, failed to put in an appearance.
At the meeting, which was held behind
closed doors, E. G. Keith was elected
treasurer in Spalding's place. 1t was
evident that the trustees are agreed on
one point, and that is that Spalding hy-
pothecated the endowment funds, and
that the board must now ccnfine its at
tention to the work of corraling securi-
ties sufficient to cover the missing bonds
and a cash fund OF $4,000 in Spalding's
possession when the Globe Savings bank,
of which Spaldins was president, failed.
Endowment Fund of $4OO, 900 Missing.
A list which was received from Spald-
ing giving the kind and denomination
of securities which he offers to cover his
liability for the endowment bonds was
submitted. This the trustees agreed
was an admission by Spalding that the
s40o 900 endowment bonds are not in
situation where he can obtain possession
of them. Additional charges are made
in regard to the alleged mismanagement
of the affairs Of the Globe Savings bank
in an amended bill filed yesterday by
Charles +. Churchill, cashier of the de-
funct bank The bill is part of the re-
ownership proceedings. and brings into
the case a number of persons not hereto
fore involved.
Used the Ranks Money for Himself
President Spalding's connection with
the bank is dealt with extensively in the
amended bill. 1t is averred that Spald-
ing induced H. c. Haley to make three
promissory notes, agergating upwards
of $4,000, payable to the order of Spald-
ing or the bank, upon the assurance of
Spalding that he would deposit $4,000
in understandable bonds as security.
Spalding, it is charged. used this money
for his own benefit. and set apart $40 900
in bonds. Property belonging to the
bank has been applied by Spalding, II is
declared, in the purchase of real estate.
and it is charged that he caused por-
ton Of this real estate to be conveyed
to others, besides himself, in order to
conceal his interests.

Comments on 3 Recent Article in The Lon
don Times.
Washington, April 1.-THE London
Times commenting on the appointment of
John w. Foster to take charge of the
fur seal matters expresses surprise and
disappointment at what it terms the re-
opening Of the Behring sea question.
Foster, en- his attention being called to
The Times editorial, said he recipro-
Gated surprise that responsible jour-
nal should upon such an unsubstantial
basis arraign the United States for in
tention to impeach the Paris award and
strike blow at the principle of arbtra-
ton. As to the Paris award, Foster
said, our government has shown no in
disposition to accept it in good faith,
nor is the recent action of the president
in entrusting the seal question in its
present status to his (Foster's) direc-
ton any indication of the intention of
the president to evade its consequences.
But The Times is mistaken i'm its as
sertion that regulations for the preser-
walton of theseals is a closed question,
as is evidenced by the sending to the ISL
ands last year by both governments of
eminent scientists to study and report
upon the present condition of the herd
THE expressed object of the Paris ar
bitration," Foster states, was to pre-
serve the seals from extinction, and both
governments are pledged to secure that
end by all needful measures. If the
scientists conclude that the herd is in
danger of determination action by the
governments is demanded. These are
questions which cannot be settled nor
their adjustment promoted by unfriend-
~ criticism of individuals or of the mo
tive of the American government or
people"

Japan Making no Attempt TO Colcnizc the
the Dole Bailiwick. EEA
Washington, April 14.-At the Japan
csc legation the statement that the
japanese companies are attempting to
colonize Hawaii is denounced as a
fragrant and absolutely unwarranted
falsehocd. The Japanese minister es-
pecially deprecates the stories to which
this incident has given rise. The posi-
ton of his government, he says, is very
clear. and ought not to occasion any ap-
prehension among the friends of Hawaii
in this country. The Japanese govern
ment, says the minister, has no designs
upon Hawaiian independence and no
desire to provoke irritating contro-
versies. In the matter of deportation
of Japanese from Honolulu he says that
Japan's only wish is to preserve well
established treaty rights which appear
to have been unnecessarily violated.
According to the advices received at
the legation the japanese who were re-
fused permission to land in Hawaii were
denied the right of employing counsel,
the right OF appeal to the Hawaiian
courts, and We're not allowed to see the
japanese representative during their
detention in quarantine. These are ell
rights secured to them in express terms
by treaty. Since Japan has never mani
tested any but the kindliest sentiments
toward Hawaii. nor given the slightest
indications of any Interior unfriendly
purpose, the japanese minister says
that he is wholly unable to under
stand this sudden manifestation of a
contrary feeling on the part of some
Hawaiian officials.
