SECRETARY CLARK DEAD.
Life Suddenly Goes Out When Recovery
was Confidently Expected.

Life Suddenly Goes Out When Recovery
was Confidently Expected.
WASHINGTON, March 23.-E. D. Clark,
of Vicksburg, the newly appointed Assis-
tant Secretary of the Interior, who had
been suffering from an attack of typho-
pneumonia for about 10 days, and was
last evening considered out of danger,
had a sudden relapse about midnight and
ex ired at an early hour this morning.
The remains of Mr.. Clark were
sent tonight to Holly Springs, Miss,
in charge of his wife and Senator Walt
hall. Inasmuch as Mr.. Clark had not
taken the oath of office Mr.. Joslyn is still
Assistant Secretary of the Interior and
has promised Secretary Lamar to remain
in Office until his successor can be ap-
pointed.
Mr.. Clark was in bad health when he
arrived in this city, and intended to re-
turn to the South. He had secured tick
cts to leave W WashingtOn tonight by the
Western express on the PENNSYLVANIA
Railroad, and that train will convey his
remains to his home in Mississippi. The
opinion is generally expressed that eX-
Representative Post, OF Pennsylvania,
Secretary of the last Democratic Con-
OCCASIONAL Committee, will be nominated
to NIL the vacancy caused by the death OF
Mr.. Clark. 1t has been said that it was
Secretary Lamar'S intention to transfer
Mr.. Clark on July next to the position
of First Assistant Secretary, a new office
created by the last Congress, to be estab-
lished at the beginning of the next fiscal
year, and to appoint Mr.. Post on that
date to the position vacated by Mr.. Clark's
promotion.

SENATORIAL SECRECY.
A Treaty of Little Public Interest Guard
ed as though of Great Importance.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-The messen-
gers and dOOrkeepers of the Senate have
been instructed not to talk to outsiders.
An additional doorkeeper has been sta
toned at the gallery door of the Senate
opening upon the press room, The pur-
pose is to make sure that the publication
OF executive secrets, which Senators
think has grown to be an evil of great
magnitude, shall no longer continue. The
result of this arrangement today is
that nothing is known of the
executive proceedings beyond the
fact that the Wiel and La Abra treaty is
under discussion, and that Senators Nor
gan and voorhees, spoke in its support.
The treaty in its essence is a private
claim for damages against Mexico. 1t is
of interest to nobody except the indi-
viduals to whom the money involved is
alleged to be due. The matter was ar
ranged by treaty once, but the MeXicans
say that fraud and forgery was resOrted
to by the Americans, hence the pending
treaty, which provides for a rehearing of
the matter in part. The treaty was not
disposed of to-day. The majority of the
Senate is understood to be in favor Of
ratification, but friends Of the claimants
are said to be trying to talk the treaty to
death and prevent reopeniug of the case.
The final adjournment seems to be chiefly
q question Of physical endurance.

Horrible Suffering from the Mountain
GUS Districts of West Virginia,

CHARLESTON, w. VA, March 23.-Re-
ports of great suffering in several of the
back counties among people and stock for
want of food have been confirmed. A
gentleman who has travelled through
BraXter, Gilmer and calhoun counties
says that few days travel in the coun-
ties named has proven the destitution and
suffering to be indescribable. In many
localities the people are on the verge of
death by starvation. The stock is no bet
ter off than the people, and animals are dy-
ing for want of food. The suffering is great
in Roane and Jackson counties. In some
sections of the stricken district the peo-
pie are subsisting on beans, and cruel is
made of wheat ground in coffee mills.
The greatest suffering exists in parts iso-
lated from towns and railroads, where
supplies cannot be gotten. All through
the section named the crops are short,
and the suffering is beyond the compre-
hension of those who have not travelled
through the mountainous region
