Clark and Daily Make Up. Whether
They Kiss or Not.
Helena, Mont, Feb. ga great sur
prise in political circles was created
here as a result of motion made in
joint assembly by Clark leader, and
which was promptly seconded by a
Daily leader. to sidetrack the report
of the legislative investigating COM
mittee appointed at the instance of
the DAILY faction on the first day of the
legislative assembly to inquire into the
alleged corrupt use of money in the
senatorial contest. For the first time
in a score of years have these factions
been found on the same side of any
question. and it's prompt adoption
would indicate that Clark and DAILY
have buried the Ratchet and will
henceforth act together for the best in
terests of the state. 1t has been re-
ported that DAILY has been preparing
to present to the United States senate
a formidable array Of bribery evidence
to prevent Clark being seated, but in
view Of the action wherein both sides
acquiesced in the dismissal Of the in
vestigating committee, it is now be-
lieved that Clark will be seated with
out molestation.

HOTEL GUARANTEED.
Smallpox Breaks Out In an Omaha
Hotel.


Smallpox Breaks Out In an Omaha
Hotel.
Omaha. Feb. 5.-The spectacle OF an
entire hotel full Of guests being quar-
antined and armed policemen standing
ut every door and window to prevent
the people escaping, is presented IN
Omaha. Three well defined cases of
smallpox were discovered at the Ven
dome hotel. located in the center OF
the city. The health department was
natified and plans were quickly de-
cided upon for quarantining the place.
A squad of armed policemen raced to
the scene. and when the guests start
ed on their accustomed morning duties
they were driven back into the house
by force. Travelling men begged to be
permitted to get away, guaranteeing to
leave the city by the first train, or on
foot if necessary. Several daring fel-
lows who preferred any sort of an adj
venture to being shut up for ten days,
slipped out the slylight, scaled the adj
iacent roofs and, making their way
through the snow and ice over the
housetops, managed to reach the
ground in safety after many narrow
escapes. A number of Chicago and
st. Louis travelling men are in the ho-
tel. Just who they are nobody cares
to examine the register just at present
TO find out.

u, A French invention-a gun camera
is the latest adjunct to instantaneous
photography, and in competent hands
may be rendered more obtrusive than
the omnipresent Kodak. 1t has stock
like that of the ordinary gun, but the
barrel is four inches in diameter, and
is covered with leather. At the breech
is a square box, to which several
small levers are attached. The weapon
is leveled upon flying bird or any
moving object, the trigger is pulled,
a shutter is sprung, and the object is
transfixed upon the Aim. Twelve shots
may be taken with it, and it is re-
loaded in much the same manner as
the ordinary camera. 1t strikes one
that the industrious burglar may OBJ
feet to the instrument, as being an
other possible interference with the
exercise Of his profession.
AS with the microscope, justice may
find in 1t an incidental auxiliary.

Washington, Feb. 4.-For more than
five hours yesterday the senate rs
tened to arguments in opposition to
expansion and in opposition to the rat
ification of the treaty of peace. Inc
speakers were Mr.. Money of Mlssls-
sippi and Mr.. Daniel of Virginia. The
formers address was comparatively
brief. He did not enter into the con-
stitutional phases of the question. He
vigorously antagonized the ratification
Of the treaty, holding that by such ac-
ticn the Filipinos would be admitted
to the Union as citizens. and that II
they were not capable Of self govern
ment we did not want them. MI.
Daniel made an exhaustive argument
in which he covered all the points IN
controversy. His speech was q Drill
liant oratorical effort. his picture OF
the situation in the Philippines and his
peroration, in which he appealed to his
colleagues not to depart from the his
tory and traditions of the American
nation, were beautiful specimens of
eloquent English. Throughout, his
speech received the careful attention
of senators and many auditors in the
galleries, and ct it's conclusion he Was
applauded warmly.
In the House.
Most of the time of the house during
the three hours session was consumed
in filibustering against relief bills Oh

was finally successful and the house
adjourned without taking up the bill.

matte appropriation bill was adopted.

to Havana.

Remedies, Province of Santa Clara,
Feb. 2, via Havana, Feb. 3.-Gen Go
meZ, the commander-in-chief of the
Cuban army, has placed himself
squarely in position as an active ally
of the United States government in
the work of the reconstruction OF
Cuba. AS a result of the conference
with Robert P. Porter, the special
commissioner of President Mckinley,
Gen. Gomez has cabled the president
assuring him of his cooperation in
disbanding the Cuban soldiers.
The 100000 appropriated for the
purpose Of enabling them to return to
their homes will Re accepted. Gen.
Gomez also telegraplleG to Maj. Gen.
Brooke saying he would accept the
latter's invitation to go to Havana.
The success of Mr.. Pcrter's mission
greatly simplifies the returning of the
military Cubaas to the pursuits OF
peace. In view of Gen. Gomez's sup
posed prior attitude of hostility, Mr..
Porter came clothed with absolute atf-
tlority and the tender Of the $4,000
600 was practically a verbal ultima
tllm. Had it not been accepted no
more offers would have been made.
Mr.. Porter made plain the purpose of
the government and was :;:atified at
the ready response of Gen. Gomez.
The conference took place at the house
here occupied By the Cuban general as
his headquarters since coming to
town. In brief the compact is as fol
lows:
First - The Cuban officers in each
province shall assist the American Of
fcers in distributing the funds.
Second-These officers shall at once
meet at some convenient point and de-
wise when and where the settlements
are to be made and arrange any other
details.
Third - That the sum paid to each
man shall not be regarded as part pay
ment of salary OF wages due for SER
vice rendered, but to facilitate the
aisbandment of the army.

learn that by a recent decision of a

The main plaza of San Juan, Puerto
Rico, on the morning of Dec 9, saw a
strangely unwonted sight-the pre-
sentation of American flags to the va
rious schools of the city. Principals,
teachers, scholars-even the small lads
of the orphan asylum-all were there.
Marching at the head of each school
was youthful and-who can doubt?-
supremely proud bearer of the stand
ard-the emblem of new hopes, aspira-
lions and wider possibilities. There
are, it is stated, 600 schools-public
and private-on the island, and to
each a flag is to be given. Is it too
much to hope that, in due season,
childish voices will make its signifi-
canoe vocal in mind and heart?

interpretative of the peace treaty TOOK
an acute turn late yesterday. The OPP
position to vote first came from the

absolutely refused to agree to time
for taking a vote. The contest occur
red in the executive session, which did
not occur until 5:15 o'clock. The next
