FRAUDULENT BOND BIDS
Single Parties Secured More Than
Their Share of Bonds.
SIGNATURES WERE FORGED
Many Bidders Were Hired by Agents of
Interested Parties to Sign h Bids.
May Result in the Refusal
to Issue the Bonds.

Washington, Sept. IA wide inves-
tigation of specious bids under the last
call for subscriptions to government
bonds has been completed by Solicit
tor O'Connell of the treasury depart
ment, and to-day he submitted to Sec
rotary Gage the mass of testimony on
the transactions. Several thousand
subscribers were examined. The facts
developed show a systematic scheme
operated by single parties to secure a
large amount of bonds. The investiga-
ton was the outcome of complaints al
leging wrong dealing on the part of
many bidders. Secretary Gage prompt
ly instituted the investigation and So
licitor O'Connell has to-day, after sub
hitting his report, held a conference
for two hours with the secretary on
the developments.
lions of dollars in bonds were acquired
by irregular means, and that a number
of New York bidders are involved in
the case. Many of the Die received
from New York are shown 10 have
been either signed by individuals who
had no direct interest in them, and
subscribed their names simply at the
request of or in consideration OF COM
p~ensation by other parties. or the bids
bore signatures that were forgeries.
Many of the bidders, it is stated,
we're hired TO sign, and the system was
carried so far, the report goes to
show, that virtual agents were en-
ployed, who were paid so much per
subscriber, the last named merely sign
ing his name and giving the bid with
his signature to the agent or directly
to parties seeking control Of a large
amount of bids. The report n the
exact facts are withheld from publica-
ton at this time for prudential rea-
sons. but Solicitor O'Connell said to-
day: There is a large amount OF
fraudulent bids"
1t is stated a further Investigation Is
TO be made. and hat the facts devel-
oped will be followed bv action by the
secretary. This IA result in n re-
fusal to issue the bonds in all cases
found to have been Illegal.
Secretary Gage said tonight that the
Investigations showed that a large
amount Of .he bids offered were not
bona fde, but that in rome of the cases
involved in the investigation had the
bonds been issued to the bidders. He
said he had no doubt, however, that in
some instances. as yet undiscovered

knowingly to the department had beer

Great Anxiety Felt.

London, Sept. l-Great Britain is be-
ginning to be alarmed lest the fate of
Hicks Pasha has befallen the Anglo
Egyptian army under General Sir Her
bert Kitchener. The last news received
was telegraphed from the front on Mon
day night. The army was then % miles
from Omdurman. the dervish camp, near
Khartoum. where the khalifa was report
ed to be waiting with lo0,00 warriors well
equipped with field guns. General Kitch-
euer's forces consisted of l0,Oo0 British
troops and 1S.00 Egyptian blacks. the
most perfectly equipped force the govern
msnt has ever put in the field, having
plenty OF horse artillery and Maxim guns.
IL was planned to keep in constant COM
munication with the base by field tele-
graph. hence the fears that in spite OF
the superiority OF morale and a~ccoutre-
ments the Anglo-Egyptian force may have
been overwhelmed by numbers.
The government officers officially an
nounce confidence in the outcome Of the
engagement, but privately they do not
conceal their at the lack OF
tidings from the front.
