MANY people III h0UOSud nave OO0h
on the anxious seat today on account
of the recent discoveries made by the
Treasury department with regard to
dummy bids for the last issue of bonds.
Many Kenosha people were asked to
sign applications for bonds for the ben
eft of the different banks in Chicago
and Milwaukee and these people are
causing no end of trouble for the
Treasury department The Sentinel
says in regard to the matter:
/" A wide Investigation of suspicious
bids under the last call for subscrip-
tons to government bonds has been
completed by Solicitor O'Connell, of the
Treasury department, and today he
submitted to Secretary Gage the mass
of testimony on the transactions. Sew
eral thousand subscribers were exam
ined. The facts developed show a
systematic scheme operated by single
parties to secure large amOunS OF the
bonds. The investigation was the out
come Of complaints alleging wrongful
dealing on the part of many bidders.
Secretary Gage promptly instituted
the investigation. The reports indi-
cate that millions of dollars in bonds
were acquired by irregular means and
that number of New York bidders are
involved in the cases. Many of the
bids received from New York are
obouy, RI bouo booy oi+bor ciopod nv
individuals who had no direct interest
in them and subscribed their names
simply at the request of or in consider
alton of compensation by other parties
or the bids bore signatures that were
forgeries.
Many of the bidders, it is stated,
were hired to sign and the system was
carried so far, the report goes on to
show, that virtual agents were en-
ploy6d 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
the party seeking control of large
amount of bids. The report and the
exact facts are withheld from pubiica-
tion at this time from prudential reas-
on8, but Solicitor O'COnnell said: There
is a large amount of fraudulent bids.
II is stated further investigation is
to be made and that facts developed
will be followed by action by the secre-
tary This may result in a refusal to
issue the bonds in all cases found to
have been illegal.
Secretary Gage said, tonight, the
investigation showed large amount of
the bids offered were not bona 6de, but
that in none of the cases involved III
the investigation had the bonds been
issued to the bidders. He said he had
no doubt. however, that in some in
stances, as yet undiscovered, bonds bid
for in similar way, unknowinglY to
the department had been issued"
1t is not thought that any Of the
banks in Kenosha were guilty of any
fraud, but it is known that several
private individuals have received quite
large amounts of the issue in this man
ner In regard to the punishment OF
the people who signed for bonds in this
manner it is not thought that they are
liable, but the future Investigations
will be watched with closest interest by
Kenosha signers.

AN ESTIMATE OF MCKINLEY.
Georgia Elk Confederate Speaks in Favor
of the President.

of the President
The strength of President Mckinley
with the people of the United States is
growing and developing every day.
Men of all classes and professions,
regardless of political affiliations are
known in this popular uprising in his
favor. An incident which occurred at
the Saratoga foreign policy conference
will illustrate the fact that the Presi-
dent is held in high esteem by men of
opposite politics coming even from the
far south. During the proceedings of
the Saratoga conference some eastern
delegate made a statement rejecting
on the administration in connection
with war expenditures. Scarcely had
the speaker uttered the words when
Mr.. E. 81. Bacon, of Georgia, promi-
nent Democrat, sprang to his feet and
said:
81 fought in the rebel army, and
never scratched the Democratic ticket
in my life, but l would feel that | had
been a coward and afraid of my duty if
| failed to resent that imputation
against the administration of President
Mckinley. This is not the time nor the
place for any such insinuation as the
gentleman has uttered. Although
was a rebel and am Democrat, want
to express my entire satisfaction with
the courageous and wholly just and
sensible manner in which President
Mckinley has conducted this war, and
I want to add that it is not only my
personal conviction. The entire South
feels as I do. l live with the people Of
the South, and | know"
