THE SW|NDLER
stensland Said to be Safe From
Extradition in Brazil,
South America.
Special to The Evening Times.

Chicago, Aug. 31.-Two develop-
ments have added interest to the af-
fairs of the Milwaukee Avenue State
bank-the report that Paul o. Stems
land, the fugitive president of the de-
funct institution, had been located,
and the discovery of forged mortgages
In the vaults of the bank.
The bank Is holder of about 1900
mortgages, purporting to aggregate
in value $1,30O,0O0. The examination
of the first eight of these resulted in
the startling discovery that at least
SIX. and possibly the other two. were
forged, the total amount involved be-
ing $4,000. How large percentage
of the mortgages still unexamined are
forgeries and how large a shrinkage
this will make in the estimated assets
OF the bank, Receiver Fetzer scarcely
dares to contemplate.
Hundreds May he Victims.
Two of the forged mortgages, it de-
veloped, had been sold by Stensland.
and this revelation opens the possibil-
ity that the former banker may have
fieeced hundreds of persons by selling
them bogus securities.
The mortgages are in the form of
trust deeds, accompanied by notes.
When Receiver Fetzer sent word to
Eide to take up the notes the latter
came In and, after examining the notes
ana mortgages, pronounced them
forgeries and made affidavit to that ef-
rect. He declared that he never owned
the property in question, although the
records show warranty deeds trans
fering the property from Stensland to
Eide
Thinks Fugitive In Brasil.
simultaneously with the new dis
covery of forgeries comes the strongly
expressed intimation by Acting States
Attorney Barbour that the capture of
the fugitive banker is near. He also
expressed it as his firm conviction that
Stensland is in Brazil, but declined to
state his reasons for this belief. It is
significant fact that the acting states
attorney, although there is no press
Ing business to transact, remains at
his office until, unusually late hours.
ready at a moments notice to set in
motion the machinery for extraditing
Stensland when word of his arrest
comes.
It even is asserted that Pinkerton
detectives are already in touch with
Stensland, but are prevented by un-
explained circumstances, from appre-
hending him at the present time. This
would tend to confirm the report that
the fugitive Is In Brazil or some other
place where he cannot be extradited.

FOREIGN CROP CONDITIONS.
World Review of Outlook by Corn

Foreign crop conditions, as pub
lished in Broomhall's Liverpool Corn
Trade News" are as follows:
United Kingdom-The crop outlook
continues fair.
France-The outlook for the crops
is generally satisfactory. Supplies
continue moderate.
Germany-The outlook for the
crops remains favorable. Supplies
of native wheat are rather light.
Hungary, Bulgaria, Italy, Spain and
North Africa-The weather is gener-
ally seasonable and the crop outlook
favorable.
Roumania-Snow has fallen, which
is generally beneficial to the crops.
Russia-The condition of the crops
is generally unchanged. The outlook,
on the whole, is favorable, with the
exception of some scattered COM
plants from the southwest, where the
plant is weak. Supplies are fair and
stocks are fully maintained.
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. complaints
are heard as a result of rust; other
wise the crop outlook has been MAIN
tanned. Charterings are rather on a
larger scale than year ago.

NO FEAR FROM JAPS.
At Present Rate II VIII Require 10O
Years to Bring 100000 in.

A Washington paper says of the
threatened japanese invasion" of the
Pacific coast:
A genius for figures has just been
trying to cipher out why San Fran
cisco and the Pacific slope is so ter
ribly agitated over the coming of the
Japanese. According to statistics
they are coming to this country at
the rate of 1000 month, or 10000
year.
At that rate 1t will take a little
more than SO years to have million
of them come over, and as some OF
them will die, and perhaps few
others return in that time, II is not
likely that there will be whole mil
lion of them in 1899, the time when
the coming of a million will elapse.
We now have population of 20,-
100000, and in 1899 we ought to
have zoo, 100000, the Japs would only
be one two-hundredths of the whole
population. AS hardly any of us will
be alive in 1899 we ought not to be
much scared about the Japs.
We can safely leave them to oul
posterity. II 100 years from now they
get to be troublesome, our descend
ants will have wit enough to tackle
the subject.
