LEWELLING GOES SOUTH.
J. P. Campbell Makes Remarks About
Him

Wichita, April Ex-Governor Leedy,
Railroad Commissioner w. P billiard,
and eX-Chief Justice David Martin
passed through here last night enroute
to the south to meet the Interstate
Commerce commission at Austin, Tex
Ex-Governor LeweIling of this city who
is now the subject of a great deal OF
critism on account of the developments
of the investigation being held at To
peka, met the train at the depot and
intended to join the party. He stated
that if Governor Leedy and the others
did not give him a decent reception on
the train he would abandon them at
Arkansas City and return home. He
did not return from that point.
He may haveeR met with a decent re-
ceptiOn on the train but before he left
he received a roasting from ]. P. Camp
bell. Mr.. Campbell is an attorney of
this city and the gentleman to whom
Mr.. Lewelling referred in his recent in
terView as the inSpirer of all the trOu-
Mr.. Campbell said:
L don't believe that Lewelling is
corrupt; but at the same time 1 can not
doubt the statement of the men who
say that he is They are men whom I
have known for years, and hence I am
myStified.''
AS Mr. Campbell said this, he smiled
as long as Mr.. LeWelling does not state
who said he (CampbelD had inspired the
fight against him. he must believe that
LeWelling has deliberately and purpose
ly lied. In fact he challenged Mr.. Lew
eIling to prove that he is not a liar. Mr.
Campbell says that if Lewelling were
to ask the Populists of Sedgwick county
at this time to endorse him for railroad
commissioner he could not get ten per
cent of them to do so.

ON ECONOMICAL GROUNDS.
The Resembling of Cieveland's Pen
sion Office Order is Urged.

Washington April 13-Ar. Cleve-
lands order consolidating pension Of
fees was to take effect December 1, but
doubtless will be rescinded long before
then. Commissioner of Pensions Evans
shares this opinion, and he has for
Warded for the consideration of the
president and Secretary Bliss a report
setting out that instead of making a
saving of considerably over 100000 in
the way of clerk hire, etc, it would in
crease the expenditures by 100000
This is accounted for by the character
of the business of the agencies, the re-
port stating that the agencies cOnsOli-
dated with others are cheaper agen-
cies." that is, agencies where rentals,
clerk hire and similar expenses are not
high.
New York with a pension roll of 81
900, is shown to have a clerk hire al
lowance of S36 900, the same amount
accorded the Columbus, o.. agency,
which has double the pension roll, or
1O4, 900. In this connection the follow
ing figures are given as significant;
New York, $4,000 pensioners, clerk hire
Columbus, 1O4ooO. against $4,000
clerk hire
Des Moines 56.OOO allowance $24,
Knoxville $4,000 allowance $22, 600.
Boston "a 600, allowance SIS, 600.
Buffalo 5000 allowance $4,000.
Milwaukee $4,000, allowance $19, 600.

SEWALL ON RECENT VOTE.
He Sees No Special Significance in
Late Democratic Victories.

San Francisco, April 13.-Arthur Sew
all, the Democratic candidate for vice
president in the last campaign arrived
from the east via the Isthmus of Pan
anna last night. Mr.. SeWan has been
on the water for the past thirty days
and consequently is not familiar with
the political happenings of that period.
He said: i place no special signifi-
canoe upon the recent Democratic sue
cess in eastern cities. They were purely
the result of local Influences. The
people of the east are inclined to give
President Mckinley ana his admins
tTatiOn a fair trial. Business is very
much depressed there. and if it should
not improve, I think the Democrats will
present the same silver issue four years
hence. and 1 have no doubt they viii
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 if they do not get
them they viii again demand a change
of administration
Mr.. Sewau is visiting San Francisco
on both business and pleasure. He is
largely interested in shiphuilding in
Maine, which industry, he says. is
practically suspended. He is thinking
of going to Japan to secure some con-
tracts from that government or the
mercantile interests there

Closing of E. S. Dean & Co, Leads to
Action by Authorities.

New York, April 13.-Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Lindsay said tonight
that While the failure of the E. S. Dean
company is being officially investigated
nothing has yet been settled in the
matter and there was nothing to be
given out about the possible indictment
of the managers of the concern.
The discretionary pool concerns
whose mail has been stopped by fraud
orders have in most cases notified vic
Tins that the last pool in which their
money had been invested proved an
unfortunate speculation, and that all
the money had been lost. The prOpri-
etors then withdrew their bank ac-
counts and disappeared from their Of

WEDDING OUT THE FORCE.
Several of the New Populist Police
Superceded by Others.

Last evening the Topeka board of po-

annual election of the police force rive
OF the regular patrOlmen came un0er
the ban of Chief of Police Henry NJ.
Steele's displeasure and lost their oft1-
cial heads. They were Bob Burgess, j. q.
Blumenstock, Reardon, McFadden, and
Roberts. Burgess was the giant OF the
police force. He was a straight Demo
crat, having held the position OF pa
trolman during the Republican ADMIN
istratiOn. He was considered an excel
lent officer but it is said that the fight
made on MIN by Chief Steele and Ser
geant Owen was responsible Tor his re
mOVal BlumenstOck. another of the
victims of Chief Steele'S ak, was ap-
pointed February 1. He served as pa
trolman during the LeWel1ng admins
tratiOn and was considered an efficient
officer. He says that there was a con-
spiracy against him.
Patrolmen ReardOn and McFadden
were appointed February 1 and were
men new to Topeka police work. They
We're removed, it is said, to make room
for men whom the board considered
more efficient. Special officer Roberts,
who was detailed to duty al the Kan
sas avenue bridge was removed and
Frank l. Whitaker, ex-deputy election
commissioner appointed to fill his place.
The new men appointed consist of
four Populists and silver Republican.
George Fieger, the cigar maker, was
appointed as patrOlman. The silver Re
publican to don the uniform and star
is J. J. Davis, son of J. a. Davis, preSi-
dent of the silver club.
C A. Carlson, a painter who has been
employed al F. A. Beckstrom's shop
and Herman Jacobs, who has been en-
ployed in the shops of the Rock Island
railroad and 9. L. YOnkins. who has
been a special policeman, were put in
as patrOlmen.
A sanitary sergeant was appointed by
the board, but it is probable that he
will not be allowed to take charge of
the office until it is settled by the
courts.
D. NJ. Mitchell secured the appoint
ment. This morning he went to the
city building and formally demanded
the keys to the sanitary offices and the
books. He was refused and told that
he would have to get a written order
from the mayor before this would be
done. Mayor Fellows will refuse to
give the order on the ground that the
statutes provide that the police board
can appoint a sanitary sergeant only
in cities of 10000 or over. It is claimed
by the city authorities that Topeka does
not contain that population.
