TOPEKA, Oct. 14.-Govarnor morrill,
has granted a pardon to 2. I. Campbell,
who, Il years ago, was convicted in
Usage county Of robbing the Wells
Fargo Express company Of 500 and
sentenced 70 the penitentiary for IS
months. The night before the sheriff
was to have started to the penitentiary
with a batch Of prisoners Campbell es,
capped aud was never captured. He
went to Salt Lake City, where he has
since resided, living an honest, upright
life. He recently communicated
through influential friends and relatives
in Topeka with ex-Chief Justice Albert
Il. Horton in regard to his case. Judge
Horton made an investigation, which
convinced him that Campbell was limo.

sented the case to the governor with the
result as stated.
Campbell was station agent for the
Santa Fe at Usage City as well as agent
for the express company. One night q
package containing $500 was intrusted
to his care. He put the package in his
pocket and went out for a drink. he
fell in with evil companions and got
drunk, when he came to himself, the
money was gone. Being unable tC
prove where the money went, the law
was applied. Prior to that time he was
regarded as good fellow with first

upon going to Salt Lake city. Upon re.
ceipt Of his pardon, Campbell will re.
turn TO Kansas for a visit with his
friends and relatives, whom he has not
seen since his conviction.

state Department. May Make Complaint
Against Lord Sackviile West.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-The extracts
from the pamphlet printed by Lord
Sactyille West reviewing his diplo-
matte career in the United States which
ended in his being summarily given his
passports in the fall of 1888 after the
publication of the MurchisOn letter, has
attracted great attention here, and it is
thought that perhaps Minister Bayard,
who was so severely scored i'll the publ
cation, may ask the state department to
make complaint against Lord Sackville
West. The latter, although retired, is
on the pension list of the British gov
eminent.
The pamphlet assailed Blaine, CIeve-
land and other American statesmen
with acrid bitterness, and claiming that
his recall was due to fear of losing the
Irish vote.

mans. The Turkish government admit
that so soon as the Armenian refugees
leave the churches in which they have
sought refuge the normal aspect Of the
city will be restored. It denies ordering
that no food be supplied the refugees in
the churches, and urges the ambassadors
to assist in the work of restoring order,
claiming that Armenian conspirators
are in league to cause fresh disturbances.
The note concludes with the assertion
that the government is about to open an
inquiry into the recent rioting with the
view of discovering the guilty parties.
In view of the unsatisfactory nature
Of the pOrte's reply, the ambassadors
met today to consider what shall be
done further.
The sultan continues to be greatly dis
turbed by the presence Of the British
feet off the island of Lemnos, and has
sent again to the ambassador Of Great
Britain to ask for their withdrawal.

Gen, Alger's Denial.

Detroit, Mich, Nov 21.--Gen
r. A. Alger has written a lengthy
letter to the Tribune in reply to
Senator John Sherman charges
against the Generals friends, as
contained in the second volume
of Sherman recollections.
The writer quotes Senator
Sherman's language in which
Sherman, in referring to the cir
cumstances attending the con-
test in the Republican National
Convention of 1888. wrote: I
believe, and had. as [ thought,
conclusive proof that the friends
.of General Alger substantially
purchased the votes of many of
the delegates from the Southern
States. who had not been in
structed by their conventions to
vote for me-"
La answer to the charge, Gen.
Alger says: mo delegate or
friend who went to Chicago in my
behalf or voted for me at the
convention ever asked for or re-
ceived single pledge from me
FOR money or for any Office.
General Alger relates instances
Of the friendship between himself
and the Senator of late years and
Of insurances given him by Sher-
man that While his disappoint~
ment had been great, he did not
believe that Alger had any part
in the scramble for votes. etc,
in 1888. Alger also quotes an
autograph letter written him by
Senator Sherman in 1892, in
which the latter reasserts. I cEer-
ish no prejudice or unkindness
for the incident of the National
Convention of 1885,

done, but should be transferred
IN her infancy to homo of eter-
nal rest, and. .whereIyou, like her, if
your walks in this life shall be

blessings to which she has heen
called in advance. None but
God knew the suffering the little
one bore-no earthly hand could

God only could relieve the pain,
and He called the little one unto
Himself.
How sweet to know that when
we shall ''fall on sleep" we will
meet on the ether shore the com

tender, loving friends of our de-
clining years, but happier still
must be the knowledge that there
shall be waiting at the heavenly
gates to welcome US, the child Of
our bosom. There shall be no
parting there, but we shall live
on through eternity in d state Of
ecstacy that knows no descrip-
ton. Who would not part for a

died to save us all: Suffer little
children and forbid them not to
come unto me, for of such is the
kingdom of heaven
