He Says There Is Nothing Wrong Re.
GardinE the Issue of Vouchers.

TOPEKA. Kan. May 7.-Governor Nor
ril returned TO Topeka to-day, but no
warrant of arrest has been sworn outs
Attorneys for Warden e. Chase still in
sist, however. that the arrest will be made,
probably tomorrow. To reporter the
Governor said he knew nothing of his pro-
posed arrest till he read it in paper this
morning. Referring TO the vouchers which
are causing him so much trouble he said: :
There is nothing about the issuance of
those vouchers but what is all straight as
far as am concerned. The employees in the
office came to me and said they thought
they ought TO he paid for the work they
did for the state prior TO Inauguration. I
agreed with them and proposed to pay
them out of my own pocket. They would
not listen 10 my proposition to pay them
but insisted that the work was done for
the State and the State should pay for it,
They asked that the vouchers be made to
read: For extra services during the Legis-
lature.' but / would not listen 10 that. L
suppose that if l had made out those
vouchers for extra services would new
er have heard of ii again. but i don't pro-
pose TO do business that way"

address of President Donald Mclean. of
Detroit, Mich, was listened to with marked
attention by the large audience, and was
frequently punctuated by loud applause.
He referred 10 the use of anti-toxin as
foreshadowing a revolution in the treatment
OF infectious diseases. A discussion arose
in regard to the controversy between the
editor and trustees of the journal of the
association. After considerable wrangling
DR.. ingalls,, of Chicago. of the trus-
tees, submitted proposition in writing for
a committee of three to take charge of and
report on the matter Thursday morning
On motion of Mr.. Cochrane this motion
was tabled by a vote of LIS to los. This
leaves the entire control of the matter in
the hands of the trustees
DR.. William Lee Howard, of Baltimore,

metals equal chances and equal privileges

guine as to believe that the United States

desired result We ought to have an inter-
national agreement which shall establish
the proper relations as to metallic cur

safety in moderate and well-conSidered ac-

where they demand it at other hands. The
