SHAW'S TIPS MAKE MILLIONS.
Leak Discovered Between Treasury and
National City Bank.

NEW YORK, Oct. An the an
nouncement that Secretary Shaw will
resume on October 2 refunding the
short-term per cent bonds and 2 per
cent bonds, Wall street has discovered
the underground route between the
United States treasury and the Ma
tional City bank, which enjoyed profit
able privileges during the administra-
ton of Lyman ]. Gage, and afterwards
made Gage president of the United
States Trust company, and his assist
ant F. w. Vanderlip, vice-president
of the City National bank itself.
According to officials of national
banks. the National City bank two
weeks ago began buying short-term 4
per cents from the national banks, Of
fering a slight premium above the
market price, which enabled them to
accumulate millions in bonds, unsus-
pecting holders al the same time SELL
ing 2 per cents at the market price.
About ten days ago 2 per cents sold
at 1O41b, but when Secretary Snaw's
circular reached Wall street they had
dropped to 1O2% asked, 1O3 bid, and
there was a corresponding rise in per
cents. so that the National City bank
has made a round profit already on Its
speculation and will still further pront
by the funding transactions.
The discovery caused great indigna-
ton among officials Of national banks,
who say there is a leak in the office
of the secretary of the treasury direct
to the National City bank.

Kees?' was the next question pro-
pounded to the governor.
Il shall remove no official as long as
he does his duty. I shall not remove
Mr.. Kees for what he has done or has
not done in connection with this af-
fair. 1 have no such intention AS
long as Mr.. Kees does his duty as we'll
as ne has Snail not remove him.
At the penitentiary Governor Mead
said he found conditions improving.
The trouble had been much exaggerat-
ed, he said. He found about eight ty-
phoid fever patients, and 80 or 40
convvalescing. The sewerage system,
said the governor, is not what it might
be, but it has been improved, and will
be further improved, he declared.
Came as Surprise.
While few of those VINO keep close
tab on public affairs and especially
those at the penitentiary, looked for
definite action of some kind to follow
the trouble between Warden KEGS and
Dr. Blalock, the first story of the re-
mova1 of the physician as printed in
the Evening Statesman last night
came as great surprise to a major
ity of the people Of Walla Walla. 1t
was the general topic of discussion
last night on the streets and at the
cigar stores and other places where
the politicians gather. It was the
general opinion, however, that the
governor had put it up to Kees
to handle the difficulty and in that
way the executive of the state could
wash his hands of all connection with
the affair. The friends of DR.. B1a-
lock are very indignant at the sud-
den turn of affairs and they are as
serting that the incident is not yet
closed. Just what action they will
take is problematical, but it is gen.
orally believed that there will be
more developments in the case in the
near future.
