..-Other Work.

WASHINGTON, March 26.-Mr. Harris,
from the committee on epidemic dis
eases, reported the bill to protect the
quarantine service of the United States
calendar.
Mr.. Cullom, from the committee on

resolutions declaring it to be the sense
of the senate that new states should be
admitted into the union only on the
basis of equality with the existing states
and that congress ought not to exercise
any supervision over the provisions OF
the constitution of any such new state
further than is necessary to guarantee
ment; that the proposed constitution
for the state of Utah, submitted to con-
greSs, contains provisions which would
deprive such proposed state, If ad-
mitted, of that equality which should
exist among the different states, and
that it is the sense of the senate that
the territory of Utah ought not to be ad-
mitted into the union as state until 1t
is certain, beyond a doubt, that the
practice of plural marriages, blgamy or
pOlygamy, has been entirely abandoned
by the inhabitants of that territory, ana
until it is likewise certain that the civil
affairs of the territory are not controlled
by the priesthood of the Mormon church.

Reception and Banouet.

PARIS, March 26.-The Alsace-L or
raine association gave reception and
banquet this evening to newly elected
members of the chamber of deputies.
Nj. Ferry was present and made a
speech. He dwelt upon the necessity
OF a strong government, both from q
military point of view and because it
would give France her proper place
in the councils of Europe. France,
he said, could neither gain new
friends nor keep her old ones unles
she had government that cut figure
in the world. Such a position could
never be attained by yielding to the III
fluence of the mob. 4 people that ac-
cepted the tyranny of the street was as
worthy of contempt as people that ac-
cepted the tyranny of master. He
concluded by advising all Frenchmen
to follow the example of the people Of
Alsace-LOrraine and exercise patience
and prudence

WHAT HE SAID,
Mr.. BalfOur Was Misquoted in
His Remarks.

LONDON, March 26.-1he remarks OF
MIR. Balfour before the workmen's fed
Grafton at Staley Bridge on Saturday in
reference to America were unsupported.
What he said was as fallows: Amer
lea is the most conservative country in
the world. By conservatism [ mean
principally that affection for the insti-
tutions of your country which is making
yon distrust the crude speculatons Of
amateur politicians, and is inducing YOU
to adhere to the Institutions of YOUR
torefathers. In that sense of cOnversa-
tlsm America stands in the very first
rank and England is very short way
Dehind her. 1t is owing to the strength
OF that conservative feeling that Eng
land and America are in the very fore
front OF civilization. We are therefore
able to contemplate Englands future
with greater serenity and confidence
than Is vouchsafed possibly to any
other country"

congressman Mills Being Closely
Watched by the Doctors.
WASHINGTON, March 26.-Represent-
ative Mills condition is not quite so
favorable this morning. His son said
to a representative of the press:
"Father is quite weak this morning, al
though we are not at all anxious. The
physicians assure us that there is no
fever and consequently no fear of pneu-
mOnia. This muggy, rainy weather is
against his immediate recovery, and the
chances are that he will not leave the
house before the end of week." At
noon the condition of Chairman Mills
was regarded by his physicians
as rather more unfavorable than
at any time since he was taken ill.
He has been extremely restless from the
night he did not close his eyes in sleep.
His fever has returned to slight de-
gree and he is very weak. He is unable
to sit up even long enough to have his
bed arranged. He seems wholly
unable to keep his, mind from
his committee work and often
talks of it when apparently I'M
conscious of the presence of others.
At about 1I:45, DR.. Sewers, his physi-
clan, called and prescribed a narcotic,
since which time he has slept soundly
and with apparent restfulness. The
doctor said to Mrs. Mills this afternoon
that there was nothing in his condition
to cause alarm, that he only needed
rest, absolute rest. To an inquiry as to
whether there were any indications of
pneumonia, the doctor stated that there
were none.
Later The condition of Representa-
tive Mills is reported somewhat better
tonight than it was this morning. The
fever has abated and he appears re-
freshed after several hours sleep.

Senator PIatt Will Have a Hard
Time Getting His Bill Passed.
Special TO the GLOBE.
WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Platt reported favorably from the COM
mittee on territories substitute bill for
the admission of Montana to statehood.
The substitute provides for constitu-
tional convention mot earlier than the
Tuesday next after the first Monday in
November, 1888. That said convention
shall provide by an irrevocable ordi-
nance that the people of said state shall
have perfect toleration and free exercise
of religious sentiments; strikes out the
clause granting other lands than those
already patented and confirmed to set
tiers aud schools, and also the clause
compelling the state to accept and main
tain persons now in the insane aSylums
of the territory. 1t requires the submis-
sion of ordinances to an election of the
people; strikes out the anti-polygamy
clause, which was ordered originally to
be placed in state constitution. The
idea is that congress ought not prescribe
what shall be placed in the state consti-
tuition. but the state is not likely to be
admitted without that clause.

not long ago kicked man down for
mentally is evidenced by his good mem
DRY, although he is 10th to say much
about himself and has horror of talk
ing to reporters. An attempt to obtain
his likeness was impossible, and it is
doubtful whether it can ever be ac-
c0mplished. In middle life Mr.. Clark
took part in the Daniel O'Connell up
rising, the incidents of which he well
remembers. While with party of Irish
tenantry he was attacked by
posse of gentlemen, and while engaged
in this fight, Clark killed a man with a
spade, and afterwards, together with
his father, was sentenced to seven years
at Botany bay. Through the interces-
sions of the elder Clark, the younger
was released by the aid of a young
woman who was an attendant upon the
queen, and whose father had once been
saved from death by the old man Clark.
The elder Clark served his full term of
imprisonment. Patrick Clark came to
the United States in 1851 and settled
with two sisters who had preceded him
at Lowell, Mass. Soon after he removed
to Missouri, from there to Nebraska. and
finally reached Montana. as many here
remember, in 1864. He came to the Gal
latin valley in 1870, and for several
years lived by himself on a ranch.
Three years ago the old man, being un-
able to gain livelihood and feeling the
need of home, made application to
enter the poor house (Which is unlike
those of the East, and has since been
tenderly cared for by the proprietor.
There is every reason to believe that
Patrick Clark is 107 years of age, and
there is no doubt but that he is the old
