CASHIER TALKS
Montgomery of Pilisburg Tells What He Did With the s5O,OOO
 He Took From Bank
BANK WILL PAY ALL

Pittsburg, June 4.-According to reports William Montgomery, former cashier of the defunct Allegheney National bank of Pittsburg, who Is in jail charged with the .nisapplica- tion of over s500.000 of the bank funds, has broken his Sphinx-like silence and made a statement to Rob- ert Lyons, receiver of the institution. As result of the revelations made by Montgomery it is said that the bank with a small assessment on the stockholders will pay all the deposi- tors. The conference between the receiver and cashier is said to have developed the fact that Montgomery had a mania for buying mining stocks and owns 4,000,000 shares of securities representing various com panies. Some of them it is be- lieyed may be used in adding to the assets of the bank, but it is reported many of them represent immense losses over the original prices.
 So far as the work of clearing up the affairs of the bank has pro- gressed there is now on hand $500,- 900 in cash.

GRANT TURNED DOWN.
An Old Document Just Brought to
 Light At St Louis

St, Louis, June LA document was uncovered in the office of City Regis trar Began yesterday which showed that General U. S. Grant in 1859 ap- piled to the city of St Louis for a po- sition as county engineer and was re- fused the place.
 That General Grant did not get the position he asked for is shown by the failure of his name to appear in the county roster of that date. At that time the position of county engineer was poorly paid and its principal du- ties dealt with the construction of county bridges and similar work.
 The paper was discovered by Dep- uty City Registrar John McCluskey while searching through old records. The paper was unmarked except by pencil note on the back stating that 1t was the application of U. s. Grant. ls5s." It was recommendation written by l. J. Reynolds, a West Point graduate and chum of Grant. Reynolds was then professor of engi- neering and mechanics at Washing ton university. The paper was at tested to by s. NJ. Frost, who explain cd that he also had ben a chum of Grant at West Point and had served eight years with him in the army.

MURDER MYSTERY.
Skeleton of a Man Found Under a
 Rock at Danielson.

Danielson, June 4.-In excavating for cellar on Franklin street yes- terday the workkmen unearthed the skeleton of man who had probably been murdered, as the bones showed that the body had undoubtedly been cut up and put in a box. Pieces of the box were found although it was mostly decayed.
 The place was just in the rear of the old Ely residence. Edwin Ely was the leading dry goods merchant here for many years, but his residence was sold to the Catholic church about twenty years ago and has since been occupied by the Sisters of Mercy. This spring the house has been sold to Thomas Ward for a residence, and he has moved it to the rear and it was under the house where it was moved to, about four rods to the rear, that the skeleton was found under a big stone. It is thought that it must have been sixty years ago that the murder was committed and who 1t was or who was the murderer is a mystery. The Catholics are to build a fine house for the residence of the priests on the place where this house is moved from.

WALKER GOES FREE
Report Just Received Says That He Has Won His Case in inc
 Bjgh Mexican Court.

Santiago, Cal, June 4.-The steam CT St Dennis which arrived here this morning from Ensenada bore the re- port that William F. Walker, the New Britain banker, arrested in lower Cal ifornia several months ago had won his case.
 Walker is still in prison. It could not be definitely learned in what court he has won. If he has won in the upper court he has to wait for the action of the other courts before he is released.
 Walker has been held a, prisoner at Ensenada and has tried every means in the laws power to avoid be- ing brought back to Connecticut.
 State Policeman Thomas Egan has been in Ensenada waiting to bring Walker home when the courts de- cided against the embezzler. It looks now as if MT Egan would have to re- turn without his man.

PAYNE'S COMMITTEE.
Will Not Be Called Together During
 Congressional Recess.

Washington, June 4.-The fact that Chairman Payne of the house committee on ways and means which is to inquire into the subject of tar If revision, does not intend to call his committee together during the recess of congress is attributed to a desire not to encourage tariff revis- ionists.
 "All that will be done," said MT Payne yesterday, is that the execu- tive departments, notably the treas ury department, will be asked to col- lect certain data in regard to the tar if schedules and have the informa- tion ready in time for the next regu- lar session of congress.
 The administration programme now 1t is asserted, is that Secretary Taft, in the event of his nomination and election, shall convene a special session of the sixty-first congress im- mediately after his inauguration to take up the subject of tariff revision. In the event that democrat Is elect ed next faill. President Roosevelt will call congress together for tariff revi- sion next November.

NEW CURRENCY LAW.
Banks Holding Government Funds
 Must Pay Interest.

Washington, June 4.-Under the terms of the new currency law passed by congress in its closing hours, banks in which funds of the govern ment are deposited must hereafter pay interest for use of such funds. An exception is made in the case of those national banking associations designated as regular Repositories in which government funds are placed strictly for use of the governments own expenses. There are outstand- ing about s72,0O0.0O0 of govern ment funds on which interest must be paid by banks. and by an odd CO., incidence a similar amount rests in Repositories not subject 10 the tax.
 It is stated at the treasury de- partment that not only will the tax be charged on all deposits of gov- ernment money made in ihe future, but that the tax will be payable on funds already deposited in banks from the time the new law became effective. The rate of interest chargeable is to be not less than 1 per cent and as much more as the secretary of the treasury may deem proper.
 For the present. however. the probable rate will be 1 per cent per

Plague Under Control.

Caracas, Thursday, May 21.--Un- fortunately for suffering Venezuela, and notwithstanding the fact that the bubonic plague is La Guayra seems to be under control, as week has gone by without any new cases, this country day by day is becoming more isolated from the entire world. Very few ships now call at any of the ports and the fact of therr being no cable communication with the outside world makes the situation almost .unbear- able. Business houses are on the verge of despair. Because of the strict quarantine established in Cur acao against all Venezuelan ports, President Castro has retaliated by having the custom houses refuse to clear any vessels for that island. Fortunately there have been no cases of plague in any of the ports excpt La Guayra.

NO TROUBLE AHEAD
Coming Presidential Election VIII Not Upset Plans on
 inc Isihmus.

New York, June 4.--Jose Augus- tin Arango, Panama minister to the United States, who is now In this city after trip to Panama, says that there is no danger that an insurrec- ton will follow the coming presi- dential election on the Isthmus, as seemed to be feared in some quar- ters. He tells of the effects of the work of the American commission fn examining the Panaman registra- tion lists in order to prevent possible trouble at the election, which, Senor Arango says, has lessened to mini mum the prospects of violence by the liberals, who constitute the party opposed to the government This examination resulted in the report ing of several instances of fraud by repeaters and non-voters. Because of these conditions the commission asked for an extension of time to straighten things out. -.
 The worst that may be feared, ac- cordlng to the minister, are only such disorders at the polls as attend all elections. The interests of the United States government to see the election conducted fairly renders any serious trouble almost impossible.
 The presidential electors will be chosen on July 12, and they in turn will elect a president on August 1. President Amador, although eligible for reelection, will not succeed him. self. He has announced that he de- sires to pass the rest of his years in peace and has refrained from openly taking part with either of the twen- ty candidates. Ricardo Arias, min- ister of foreign affairs, is the admin istration candidate for the presiden- cy, his opponent being General J. Domingo Obaldia, formerly minister at Washington, who acted as presi- dent while Dr Amador was absent from the country. Both candidates are members of the conservative party, but General Obaldia has also the support of the liberals.

Chicago, H., June 4.-Representa- tive Henry Sherman Boutell yesterday paid his respects to Representative Lilley, calling him "eontemptibe coward" in replying to Mir Lilley's charges refiecting upon Mir Boutel.'s conduct in the submarine boat inves- tigation. Mir Boutell denied that he had ever offered to compromise with Lilley if the charges of improper methods in the making of appropria- tions were withdrawn.
 All talk of compromise being offered to Mir Lilley and his scornful rejection of it are pure figments of his disordered mind," said MT Boutell.
 He showed before the committee and since in his failure to express any regret at his defamation of Represcn- tative Loud and others that he had q wicked. malevolent heart.
 He has now shown that he was a contemptible coward in stunning the proper form in which to make statement respecting his colleagues and in attempting to shield his in- fanny behind his wife and doctor. As many of his friends and ac- quaintances have suggested the most charitable view to take of his actions is that for some months he had not been in his right mind. This, however, is not known to the pub lie, and as his friends have been unable to restrain him the char acter of his statement calls for this renly.
 Before the adjournment of con- gress Mir Lilley had three months aftei' the introduction of his resolu- tion in which to express his views and suspicious. He also had five weeks before the adjournment after his physician had informed the committee of Mir Lilley's condition.
 't0n Friday, April A, after the committee had been is> session near ly two months, Mir Lilley appeared for the last time and stated that he had DO further evidence to give and no further suggestions to make toi the committed. He realized then that his case had collapsed utterly: that he had been deceived by those. who pretended to give him informa- tion.
 "on Sunday, April 26, Dr Reis- finger came to me stating that he came at the urgent request of Mrs Lilley. He stated that Mir Lilley and his case had both collapsed at the same time: that Mir Lilley was in a state of complete mental and physi- cal prostration, owing to his failure to substantiate his charges. his hu- initiation over the treacnery of his secretary in writing forged letter and in signing his name to unau- thorized letters attacking his col leagues in the house. and his con seionsness that he had been deceived | by those who pretended to give him information.
 He further stated that so great l was Mir Lilley's remorse over his un- justifiable attacks upon his col leagues that he could not. talk CO., herently except at intervals, and that he feared that he would commit sui- eide as a result, and that he could not he left alone"
