but if he does it will be in the interests
of a better administration Of its az
fairs, Just as he has made trouble for
the law breakers of New York city
who had long enjoyed police protec-
ton. I notice that in all the trouble
stirred up by Roosevelt, he has al
ways had the support of those who be-
lieved in showing up and reforming
wrong-doing wherever found, and am
willing to stand behind all the trouble
he makes in the Navy department
Mr.. Cleveland's order reducing the
number of pension agencies, which
was to go into effect on the LIST of next
September, will never go into effect.
Pension Commissioner Evans has as
certained by investigation that instead
of saving money, as Mr.. Cleveland
claimed, 1T would cost more to sup
port the consolidated agencies. He
said on the subject: While 1 have no
authority to speak for the president,
l have excellent reasons for believing
that the order will not go into effect,
and that the eighteen pension agencies
will remain as they are" Commits
sioner Evans also says that Mr.. Cleve-
lands order placing pension examining
surgeons under the civil service rules
will be revoked, except in the cases of
examiners who receive $500 a year or
less.

Says Silver Will be the Campaign Is
sue Again.
San Francisco, April 15.-Arthur Sc
wall, the Democratic candidate for the
vice presidency in the last campaign,
arrived from the east via the Isthmus
of Panama last night. Mr.. Sewall has
been on the water for the past thirty
days and consequently is not famil
lar with the political happenings of
that period. He said:
Il place no special significance upon
the recent Democratic success in east
ern cities. They were purely the re-
suit of local influence. The people of
the east are inclined to give President
Mckinley and his administration a
fair trial. Business is very much de-
pressed there. and should it not i'm
prove think the Democrats will pre-
sent the same silver issue four years
hence and 1 have no doubt they will
be successful.
"Of course everything will depend
upon the financial condition of the
country during the next four years.
The people have been promised better
times. and IL they do not get them
they will again demand a change of
administration"
Mr.. Sewall is visiting san Francisco
on both business and pleasure. He
is largely interested in shipbuilding
in Maine, which industry, he says, is
practically suspended. He is think
ing of going to Japan to secure some
contracts from that government or
the mercantile interests there, but
whether he will make the trip or not,
he says will depend upon business ar
rangements that will develop within
few days.

HOPING AGAINST HOPE.

New Orleans, April 15.-The river is
beating it's own record right along
and is high enough to brighten the
stoutest hearted but there has not
been a single break in the levee line
in Louisiana. Bayou La Fourche is
stiu the weakest points while on the
river proper the TensasN and fifth levee
district are regarded as the danger
scots. Levees below and all the way
to New Orleans and half way down
to the gulf have been raised and
strengthened daily and will be in bet
ter shane when the crisis comes.

4 WRONG CHARGE.

Jack Stotts and John Ashton were
arrested by officer Mullen on Navarro
street last night for fighting. As the
testimony before Mayor Callaghan this
morning developed that neither man
had struck the other, but only made
attempts the mayor dismissed the case
instructing the officer to make
charge of disorderly conduct in such
cases in the future.
