CALLS 1T AN OUTRAGE.

The LeavenwOrth Times" Didn't Want
the Wea1ers to Come.
The Leavenworth Times says editorially
about the coming of Sanders army to
Leavenworth:
"The bringing of the Sanders army
here is an outrage upon Leavenworth.
1t was left optional with Marshal Nicely
what should be done with them and he
decided to bring them to prey upon his
own town.
'At Topeka these men were allowed
to wander at Will about the streets, and
it is to be presumed that it will be so
here.
"These men are of Governor Level
ling's kind and they ought to have been
kept at Topeka where he could have
cared for them. They will be a menace
to our city and in the end it will proba-
bly, cost the city a great deal to get rid
of them. It's great thing to have a
United States marshal from our own
cityr'

HOW THEY LEFT TOPEKA.


Their Hafs-Much Cheering.
United States Marshal Nicely found it
convenient Saturday evening, when
public sentiment against him on account
Of his apparent intention to finally I'M
load the commonwealers on Topeka, be-
came so evident to put his army on
Santa Fe special and take the entire
brigade over to Leavenworth.
1t was a few minutes after o'clock
that Marshal Nicely made known his de-
termination to leave Topeka with his
prisoners. He explained his change in
plans by saying that he had just received
a dispatch from Washington giving him
discretionary power in the matter, and
he had decided that he could feed and
guard the army better If they were
camped on the military reservation at
Fit. Leavenworth.
1t is generally understood, however.
that tho real reason Marshal Nicely
hustled out of Topeka with his army
prisoners was because of the growing
sentiment here that Topeka had done as
much for them as could be expected,
and was not delighted with the prospect
that they might be left on our hands
after they were discharged.
When the men at Camp Sanders"
heard that they were to be taken to
HLeavensworth,' as they called it at
o'clock, their protests were loud "The
people of Topeka have treated US hand
somely," one of them said, sand we don't
want to leave. Over at Leavenworth
they will pen us up with United States
soldiers. and we never will get a chance
to go east" The grumbling continued
until General Sanders appeared and as
sured his men that they were not to be
under the surveillance of the
regulars, when all were soon busy
rolling up their blankets and
quilts and collecting their other
camp eQuipage. They were soon on
board the cars and great crowd of To-
peka people gathered outside to see them
of. A large part of the crowd were
women, many being handsomely dressed
ladies who had come down in their car
riages to see the commonwealers, and
found that they would have to get out

He Says His Men CouIdn't Get work at
Any Price.
To the Citizens of Kansas:
There has come to me the rumor that
my command is composed of striking
miners who have refused to work for $3
a day. The rumor is wholly untrue.
They are not strikers and labor at any
price was not to be had by them. The
mines have been closed by the owners
and what little work is left in the camps
around Cripple Creek is performed by
married men who, too poor to leave, are
compelled to stay and who now work on
limited time at the very lowest wages.
My men are largely sturdy, sober young
men who are out of employment by
necessity, but who have been industrious
when any opportunity has offered, and
who claim to be fair American citizens,
very unfortunately situated.

EMPoRIA, May 14-In regard to the
suit filed by the widow Of Senator Plumb
Major Hood said that he would prefer to
have his attorneys, Judge c. b. Graves,
/. F. Lambert and II. ID. Dickson, make
a statement of his side of the case. he
said, however, that he had been expect
ing the suit, and that he would contest 10
to the end. He was satisfied that the
Plumb estate had no claim upon him.
and when this demand was made he had
SO stated, but in order that a settlement
might be arrived at amicably, he had
offered to arbitrate the question through
George Plumb, the late senator's brother,
Charles s. Gleed, Mrs. Flumb's lawyer
and l. E. Lambert. the attorney OF Tlumb
& Hood. an old time friend of the soma
tor. This was declined. Further than
this he declined to talk.
Major Hoods attorneys made the fol-
lowing statement:
Plumb and Hood we're partners 70
nearly twenty years, and during tnat
time entertained the utmost personal
confidence in each other, and never had
any misunderstanding. Plumb had SUI
perior opportunities for making Invest
ments, and had full authority TO use their
names jointly in that way. In this way
the partnership operated largely in Tex
as cattle and in many interests IN Colo
RADIO and in other enterpris es, and at the
time of Plumb's death their business was
in an unsettled, but by the N well under
stood. condition. Had Mr.. Plumb lived
everything would have been amicably
and satisfactorily settled.
The Plumb estate is not di opposed TO
adjust these matters as Hood thinks on
a basis that is fair and just TO him,
and he will file a counter suit. From the
beginning of the administration of this
Plumb estate the executors have refused
to have anything whatever to do with

Two Base Ball Clubs Organize at the
State House.
A base ball club has been organized at
the state house. There will be two mines,
one in the east wing, to be known as the
Governors Pets" and the other one
from the west wing, will be known as
Farmers Pride"
The opposing mines are made up from
nearly all the offices, but it is understood
that the governor has refused to play.
In lieu of the governor, however, John
W. Breidenthal and Geo. w. Clark will
represent the heavyweights.
In the west wing all efforts to secure
the assistance of State Treasurer Bjddle
failed, and the treasurer's office will be
represented by the assistant, Geo. III.
Seward, who it is said, will be able to
make the run from first to third in two
strides.
The membe of the clubs are:

DEATH OF Mr.. HENDERsoN.-Mr.
John w. Henderson, whose illness was
mentioned yesterday, died at his home
on Wilkes street, between Royal and
Pitt, about five o'clock this morning.
Mr.. Henderson was q son of the late
Peter G.. Henderson, esq, and had
lived in Alexandria all his life. For
many wears he was in the ice and fish
business, but recently had conducted a
grocery and provision store on the cor
ner of Wilkes and Royal streets. Mr..
Henderson had aided much in improv
ing that neighborhood. Some years ago
he purchased the Smoot property west
of his store and filed in the gaps which
had long existed in the shape of vacant
lots with neat and modern dwellings.
f[c had been indisposed for several
weeks recently, and occasionally his
symptoms would assume an alarming
phase, but he would rally and mani
fest what were supposed to be evil
dences of his ultimate recovery. He,
however, grew rapidly worse last n ight
and fingered until early this morning,
when he expired easily and apparently
without pain.

AN INFLUX OF LoDGERs.-TWenty
framps were furnished with lodging at
the station house last night. When
turned out this morning they were told
by Lieutenant Smith 10 leave the city,
as they would not be permitted 10 loiter
around here. Some Of the itincranls
became somewhat incenscd nj the order
and replied thai people were not treat
ed in that manner in their native cities.
They were placed in charge OF Officer
Howson who escorted them to the city
limits. The people of West End gener-
ally suffer more from tramps than folks
in Alexandria, as the nomads pass
through the former place on their way
South, and often become menacing, es-
pecially when they suppose no men are
in the houses where they stop to beg.
some of the people of West End seem
10 think the police OF this city should
afford them protection, but of course,
this is impracticable. One way to meet
the difficulty is for Fairfax county to
swear in special policemen for West
End another is to allow that suburb
TO become part of Alexandria, it be-
ing now known as Duke street ex-
tended"
