JAPANESE BOND ISSUE
is COMPLETE SUCCESS

Applications for approximately $40 900
worth of japanese bonds were received
at the Nevada Bank yesterday. The to-
tai amount subscribed in this city is
nearly 81, 400, 900. No requests for the
securities can be honored after this
morning. Kuhn, Loeb & Co. of New
York telegraphed the Nevada Bank
yesterday that the loan was a complete
success in the East and directed that
no subscriptions be received after this
morning. President Hellman said yes
terday:
California has responded to the jap
anese call for funds much more readily
than we had any reason to expect Ac-
cording to theory and history loans
should be secured only with great diff
ficulty when the nation borrowing is at
war.
I'm this instance we find. the desired
amounts heavily oversubscribed wher-
ever the bonds are offered. This re-
markable state of affairs indicates con-
clusively that the worlds most careful
and far seeing financiers have unques-
toned confidence in the ability of the
Japanese to triumph in their war with
Russia"

FOUND GUILTY OF FORGERY
Henry MeIdrum Is Convicted in Con-

Cases I'm Oregon.

PORTLAND, Nov. 17.-Henry Mel
drum, former Surveyor General for
Oregon, was found guilty Of forgery
in the land fraud cases this afternoon
after the jury had deliberated half an
hour. This applies TO all the twenty
one counts on which Meldrum was in
dicted. Meldrum's defense amounted to
little more than the testimony of rep
utable men who swore to his previous
good reputation Inspector Greene OF
the Interior Department to-day told
how, in 1902, he began an investigation.
Among the papers seized in Meldrum' s
desk were a number Of application
blanks for surveys partly filed out. In
some cases there was no description of
the lands although the settlers name
and the notary's certificate were at
tached. These were forwarded to
Washington with his report All this
evidence afterward disappeared At
the time Representative Hermann was
Land Commissioner The evidence Of
handwriting experts was brought in to
cinch the forgery charges. Meldrum.
according to the verdict. forged set

port that the Japanese have suddenly
advanced in the direction of Mukden.
from which place they are now only
twelve miles distant.
