Washington. July 2l.-tSpecialD The cam
paign for the removal of United States
Marshal Neely has opened with a mild
canuonade which will very probably be
followed by more heavy artillery in the
course of a short time. A series of charges
will be preferred. the nature of which is

acting in his official capacity and selecting
cd retainer to appear as an expert wit
ness before the same jurors in the cele-
brated iillmon insurance swindling case.
II is said that this charge is one OF the
least serious preferred against Neely, evil
dence in support of others being now ac-
cumulated by those interested in the early
retirement of the marshal.
1t is understood that Senator Baker ex-
planned to Lit Crum early in the admins
tration that he wanted Neely to hold his
time out If possible. The senator explained
to Mr.. Crum that the longer he put off
taking the office the longer he would hold
into the next administration. DIR. Neely
had last fall done considerable political
work of value to the Republicans. and for
this he should at least be compensated to
the extent OF being allowed TO remain to
the end of his term.
This explanation was entirely satisfacto-
ry to Mr.. Crum. who realized the hazard
Gus work DR.. Neely had done during the
campaign, so there was no trouble in
reaching an agreement on this point.
Ii is not supposed. however that Senator
Baker will stand by Neely through serious
charges, even If he did do political work

in mining in the West all his life. from
the Sonora I'm Mexico to the Frazier river

ISIS which was quite enough TO keep the
present gold fever from touching him. Mr..

hut before they go they must be sure. he

Mr.. Cusenbary was yesterday giving
some good advice to several who have a

ened with the tales of the fortune hunter in
the Northwest which he told. MIR. Cusen-
barry has never been in the Klondyke re-

that he wants any of the gold up in Alas

drowned. Il seems strange that / lay so
much stress on getting drowned I'm that
country. but every year there are more
men drowned than ever die from any other
cause combined. In the spring Of 1858 I
took a pack train from the Sonora to the
Frazier river.
The Frazier gold excitement in 1858 was
greater than the present excitement by far.
Thousands of men went there. From all
over the West they started for the land or
gold. Old '49ers went there by the score,
but never came back. Some of their bones
are down in some cavity with waters rush
ing over them right now. Their folks never
heard from them and they never will.
Its truly a wonderful country. IL took
me six months to take my pack train from
the Sonora to Alaska and We arrived in

II is customary for trader firm to he
