THE MICHIGAN SCANDAL.
The Bogus Returns on the Salaries
Amendment.

LANSING, Mich, Jan. 22.-There are
no new developments in the salaries
amendment scandal. Gov. Rich re-
turned to the capital this morning, but
was inclined to be retlcent to news
paper reporters. He authorized the
statement, however. that there had been
no abandonment of full investigation.
He had heard nothing of contemplated
action by Circuit Judge Person in
summoning grand jury. 1t is quite
probable, however, that this will be the
outcome, as such action is peremptory
on the part of the judge where there is
presumptive evidence of fraud, and he
has no discretion under the statute in
this case. Circuit Judge Person says
he intends to summon a grand jury for
another purpose, but that this case may
also be brought before it. He believes
the governor will push the matter with
out fear or favor. Suspicious of pur-
pose on somebody's part to pervert the
will of the people in the series of mis-
takes made in figuring the vote on the
state salaries amendments are gaining
ground. Democrats have been enioy-
ing the Republicans discontinue over
the developments up to this afternoon,
when it developed that the Democratic
attorney general, Ellis, has for. nearly
six years has been drawing $l,TOO an

DON'T WANT THE SEAT.
Walthall's Senatorial Chair Goes
Begging.


NEW YORK. Jan. 22.-Advices re-
sissippi. who under ordinary circum-
stances would wish to succeed to the
seat which Senator WalthalI has re-
signed i'll the senate, ARE quite perplexed
over the situation, uncertain what
course to parsue because of the impos-
Sibility of determining what course Mr..
Walthall may decide upon when his
present term shall expire, and his new
six years term begin on the 4th of
upon as aspirants for the Office are al
ready holding office, being Gov. Stone,
Chief Justice Campbell and the Mis-
SiSSippi members of congress-. The
latter. without exception, feel confident
Of reelection, and consider that they
virtually have three years of official
life before them; hence they do not
feel tempted by the one year of office as
senator, with the probability of having
to surrender the seat i'll case Mr..
WalthalPs health should so improve
that at the end of that year, he would
feel equal to the trials of another term,
and would be called upon to assume the
duties or the office. The governor and
the chief justice are both Ineligible to
reelection, but both have two years of
office still before them, and have the
same reasons as the members for hest
tating abont entering upon contest
for the senatorial seat. 1t is announced
as fact that Mr.. WaIthall would have
made his resignation apply to his future
term if he could have done so legally
and it is known that as he regards the
matter now he does not anticipate that
he will ever feel desire to return to
the senate, but being a man who con-
Scientlously regards pledge made or
implied, and having once signihed his
acceptance of the office, he would. prob
ably. in case his health improved, feel
that he was III duty bound to resume
the duties of Office. and thus disap-
point the ambition Of the man who may
be chosen to succeed him for the present
term. 1t is the knowledge, on tue part
of the politicians, of this trait of his
character which renders the situation
embarrassing to them.
