CHINK I.
STEALS
WHISKEY
From EckerIen'S butts Caught
in the act by Paul
Marnach

Lou Wah, q Chinese ex-convict, who
was formerly employed as cook in the
Elite Cafe, was this morning caught
in the act of stealing 25 bottles of
Ewhiskey and a box of cigars from Eck-
erlen s wholesale house.
Paul Marnach, Eugene's head mixer,
had been suspicious of the chink for
some time, as he had been seen hanging
around the rear of the establishment
several times. Paul cautioned the wait
ers to be on the lookout for him, and
if they saw anything suspicious to let
him know.
This morning, shortly after 6 o'clock,
one of the walters came to Paul and told
him that Lou was hanging around near
the back door of the wholesale house,
and, from his actions, intended to steal
something. Paul, after arming himself
with young cannon, which he calls
revolver, hurried to the back door, arriv
ing just in time to see the celestial
come out of the other department car
rying a case of Cyrus Noble whiskey,
which he placed on the ground, return
ing to the base of supplies for some
thing else, which proved this time to be
case of Commodore Royal; not salts
fed yet he returned once more, and
came forth bearing a single bottle of
whiskey and box of cigars. 1t must
have been that he had confederates
near, for it would be impossible for him
to escape with all his plunder at one
trip, and if more than one trip was to
have been made, he would hardly have
brought all the goods outside. When
Paul observed that he had carried all
out that he intended to he concluded
, that it was his move, so he sprang out
from his concealment, confronting the
burglar with the question, "what are
you doing2' Seeing that he was dis
covered, the chink attempted to strike
his captor, but was forestalled by Paul,
who flashed his Gatling under his nose
with the request that he "elevate his
lunch grabbers over his block, )" to
(which gentle hint Lou Wah complied,
but with very poor grace, and was rep
rimanded by gentle poke with the
gun, after which his hands were raised
to the fullest extent. Paul then started
to march his captive into the saloon,
but, when passing through the door,
the chink, in a vindietive mood, slam
med the door, striking Paul on the side
of the head, and leaving a slight discol-
oration around the eye, but his attempt
at escape was unavailable, and he was
quickly taken on the inside, where Paul,
with the assistance of his trusty ally,
Herr Ignatz Steiner, searched their
, prisoner, but there were no weapons
disclosed Paul then took up the line
of march to the police station where he
landed his man without much trouble,
with the exception of an attempt to
escape up the dark stairway near the
telephone office.
The prisoner, who is "hop head, "
has already served one term of three
years in the penitentiary and it was
probably only the incentive of the Wis
ion of happy Chinese New Year that
induced him to jeopardize his liberty.

THE FINANCIER,s STATEMENT.

Q
 New York, Dec S1.-The Financier says:
 The official statement of the New York as- sociated banks last week showed, as the
 most interesting features, a moderate expan-
 sion in loans a small net increase in cash
 and a gain in deposits.
 The expansion of $9,271. 900 in loans re-
 fleets the temporary placing of funds which
 accumulated during the week as the result of preparations for the disbursements ot
 showed a net increase of s919.600, specie
 falling off S1,s50,700. while legal tenders
 increased $2.77o, 300. The loss of specie was probably due to exports of gold to Europe and to the Argentine republic tNring the week. while the gain in legal tenders was most likely caused by the receipts of cur rency from the interior and possibly also the return to the banks of some portion of the holiday amounts which had been ex- pended in the previous week.
 The deposits increased se.553.so0 the sum of the increase in loans and in cash: therefore the statement made a fairly good proof The required reserve was increased $2, 4S6, 400, because of the gain in deposits; deducting therefrom the net gain in cash left S1,563. 800 as the decrease in surplus re- serve to $13,es3,425, against $12574,625 a year ago and $6.549.200 at the corresponding date in 1902. Computed the basis of de- posits less those of S23,00s.2o0 public funds. the surplus is s19.4S5.45.
 The statement was doubtless made up on rising averages for cash for the estimates of the gain in this item which were based on the traceable movements of money dur ing the week indicated an increase of about S5, GOO, 900: the statement was therefore much more favorable than that which was shown by the official figures

WALL STREET REVIE W
REVIVAL or APPREHENSION OF AT
 TACKs ON STOCKS. The Trading in Consequence Is Somewhat Animated Disappointing Those Who Had Assembled for the New Year
 Frolic Only.


 New York; Dec. 31.-There was rather 8pf attacks on stock market values today, caused by a renewed proclamation of dire <hinks to happen next week by the same authority that upset the recent market.
 The sharp dip in prices today was clear iy assignable to the culver of dread thus caused. The days trading was, in conse- Quence, rather animated contrary to expec- fation. as the principal motive for holding session at all today was to bring together 6plfc which followed the session of the Ex- change.
 The spirit of uncertainty thus awakened induced considerable throwing over of stocks accumulated during the weeks rise and re- eu1ted in an effective curtailment of that r1se Amaigamated Copper showed itself sensitive to the new threat to the market, but that stock was supported in the later dealings and closed unchanged. The Pa ciffcs were notably weak and were affected by the denial of a rumor set in circulation been handed down.
 United States Steel preferred was under pressure and showed poor rallying power It's fresh decline in the late dealings con tributing to the Irregular closing. The bank statement reflected only a part of the ex- pccted cash gain. but the shifting of trust company accounts and the annual settle. ments was to be reckoned with confus- ing influences on the bank statement and the showing was not an influence on stocks Neither was there anything in the day news affecting properties to influence the operations in the market.
