panion named Douglass NEGRO were ar
rested for horse stealing, and were en- route
from Wichita to Great Bend in charge of

LOWERED.
Anything to Elect Hayes.

CHICAGO, Sept 20.-The Posts Wash
ington correspondent telegraphs that the
exact state of the matter of the pardon OF
Hessing and other whisky convicts here, is
as follows: Mr.. Bangs having become
convinced that Hesing and others OF the
second batch, pleaded guilty in the
firm conviction resting on promises
of representatives of the government that
they were to be put on the same footing
and let off with equal sentence, the good
faith of the government seemed to be Ia
volved, especially in the case of Hessing.
whose sentence was disproportionately
severe; it was believed that party should
not figure in the matter and it was decided
to do right, though it might be in
expedient. After last Friday conference
the attorney general decided to recommend
TO the president to equalize the sentences
and reduce the fines to $1,000 each, which
he did. aud the papers were drawn accord
ingly, despite vigorous protests by Jealous
Chicago citizens. The Post publishes tht
letter of Judge Bangs, q. S. district at
torney, to Judge Taft, on which the equal
| ization is based.
