Alleen Sale A gain.

Missoula. April 7.-Alleen Sale has
been heard from again. This time she
writes to a young man in town whose
name and description she saw in the
Standard. She has also, so the letter
states, received communication from
the young man in question, and she ex-
presses the opinion chat she is delighted
with his letter and his appearance.
She wants him to send her several of
his photographs, and she promises to
reciprocate. She expresses also appre-
citation of the efforts of the Standard
to give publicity to her advertisement
for a husband, but says that this paper
has drawn a wrong conclusion from her
photograph. She says that she is not
"corn-fed and husky" but that she is
a lady in all respects. The present in
dications are that the correspondence
will prove interesting.

Presidents Refusal to Give Paris Con-
ference Documents Discussed.

RreS1OenIS hefuSAl 10 give PaFlS OOn-
ference Documents Discussed.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-To days execu-
tive session of the Senate was consumed
in discussion of the failure of the President
so far to send to the Senate the documents
in his possession and on file in the State De-
partment bearing upon the Paris conference.
Senator German raised the point soon as
the doors were closed that the resolution
had been adopted several days ago,
and addressed the Senate at some length
on the failure of the President to respond
to the Senates request for information.
The attack of the Maryland senator was
followed by several speeches by Senators
Vest and Hoar, and they were replied to by
Senators Spooner and Platt. The five SEN
ators engaged in a running debate, the op-
ponents of the treaty contending that the
Senate was entitled as a part of the treaty.
making power to all the facts bearing upon
the case, and the supporters of the docu-
ment holding that the President could with
hold any papers which he did not consider
in the interest of the general welfare to
give out.
Senator Spooner cited precedents to show
that the President could withhold informa-
tion of this character at his pleasure and
that such course frequently had been fol-
lowed in cases in which the President
deemed it unwise to communicate facts
bearing upon international complications
when to do so might prejudice the coun-
try's best interests, and promote the very
evils which it was sought TO ameiiorate. The
point was also made that the President
might feel more free TO communicate with
the Senate if he could be sure of privacy
in doing So No one professed to speak by
authority, and all the senators who were
heard in support of the Presidents course
expressed confidence that the Presidents
action, whatever it might be, would be for
the best interests of the public.
Replying to this latter point, Senator Hoar
said that no one could excel him in admira-
ton for the personal qualities of the Presi-
the same time he contended for his orig
inal proposition that the Senate was enti-
tied to the Presidents full confidence in
passing upon a question of so much impor-
tance as the acquisition of territory thou
sands of miles from our own shores and
with millions of people totally unlike our
own population He thought there must be
some reason for putting the Philippines on
footing so different from the footing on
which Cuba had been placed in the treaty.
The opinion is generally expressed that
the time allowed for debate of the treaty in
executive session VIII not be by any means
consumed as very few senators on either
side desire to make speeches behind closed
doors. The friends of the treaty profess
increasing confidence for ratification, but
there is some talk of adopting a negative
resolution to the effect that the treaty does
not bind the United States to the adoption
of a colonial policy.

Sensational Phase of the Senatorial
Contest That Ended in the Ac-
cuser Losing His Seat.
NO VOTE SELLING IN NEVADA
CHARGES EXAMINED AND SAID TO BE
WITHOUT FOUNDATION.
Anti-Quayites Worked Up over a Bill
That Is Intended, 1t Is Said, to
Shield Quay from Prosecution.

HELENA, Mont, Jan. &C. - Sensations
came thick and fast to-day in the Montana
Legislature. Before the members met in
joint session to vote for United States sem
ator the grand jury reported that it had no
evidence on which to return any indictments.
For two weeks the grand jury had been
faithfully investigating the charge of brib-
cry made by State Senator Whtesde when
he dramatically turned over to a joint COM
mittee thrty-one thousand-dollar bills,
swearing to high heaven they had been
given him and three others by agents Of
w. A. Clarke, OF Butte, to influence their
votes in his favor for the federal Senate.
Whitesde repeated his story to the grand
jury, and thirty-three other witnesses were
examined on all phases of the matter. One
of Whiteside's alleged copartners in the
vote-selling business repudiated him hotly
and discredited him before the grand jury.
Other contradictory and refutatory evidence
was given, and the grand jury's report was
a complete vindicaton of Mr.. Clarke.
At the session of the Senate this after
noon, by d vote of IA to 9, Whiteside was
unseated on a contest for his Office and
Republican opponent given the seat. Nine
Democrats and five Republicans voted to
unseat him. All those who voted for White
side were Democrats. In the joint session
Wflteside made a long speech, in which he
made charges of bribery against every man
who voted for Mr. Clarke After his speech
was ended one of the accused members arose
IN his place and violently denounced White
side as liar of the DEEPEST dye, and there
was hot time for while, but no serious

Confederate Legislator, Who Later

Served in Senate and Cabinet.
Augustus Hill Garland was born in Upton
county. Tennessee, June Il, 1892 Before he
was a year old his parents removed to
Arkansas. He was educated at ST. Mary's
College, Lebanon. KY, and st. Josephs Col
lege Bardstown, KY. He read law there
and in Arkansas and was admitted to the
par IN 1888. After pracuc1ng at that place
Tor three years he removed TO Little ROCK
ne was wing In politics ana IN lSo9 was
an elector on the Bell and Everett ticket
lie was an opponent of the secession ordi-
nance in the state convention, but after It's
passage he espoused the Southern cause and
was member of the provisional Congress
that met in Montgomery in May 1861. lie
was chosen a delegate to the first Confeder-
ate Congress and afterwards served in the
Senate, in which he had seat when the
Confederacy fell.
Mr. Garlands first appearance in the
court was in connection with the great case
involving the validity of the test oath law,
and the result of his contention in this case
gave him national fame. The case grew
out Of the legislation OF the reconstruction
period. Under the law in question no law
yer who had participated in the civil war
on the Confederate side could practice his
profession until he had taken the oath. Mr..
Garland challenged the constitutonality of
the law for himself and neighboring law
yers, and, beginning with the lower courts,
he followed the case up through the various
tribunals to the Supreme Court Of the land.
There Notwithstanding the court was po-
liticaliy almost unanimously opposed TO him,
his position was sustained and the law over
thrown.
In the contentious in the Republican
party in Arkansas in the Brooks-Baxter
days, Mr.. Garland espoused the cause of
MI Baxter, as did majority of the Demo-
Gratis, and he succeeded Mr.. Baxter as
Governor of the State. He was first elected
10 the United States Senate in 1877, being
unanimously chosen, and was serving his
second term when called into Mr. Cleve-

position as attorney general he was tend

In the Senate this afternoon the bill aboI-

discussion in the State because of allega-
ton that it is in the interest of Senator
Quay in connection with the criminal pro-
ceedings pending against him III Philadel-
phia, passed second reading after a fac
tional fight and was made a special order
for final passage next Wednesday. Senator
Finn, the anti-Quay leader attacked the
bill, saying it is in the interest of one man,
while Senator Magee, who is of the opposite
faction, defended the measure.
A conference OF the anti-Quay Repub-
lican senators and members was held this
evening to consider the bill. The subject
was brought up by Senator Flynn of ALLIE
gheny, who claimed the measure was in. the
special interest of Senator Quay, and that
its passage means practically that it will
be impossible, in the large cities of the
State, especially, to convict any person ac-
cused of crime who has influence or wealth
behind him. Another meeting will be held
tomorrow to arrange pairs for Saturday
and Monday.
The Quay people are claiming tonight
that Senator Quay will be reelected on
Saturday. Nearly all the leaders of the
rival Republican factions have gone home
to remain over Sunday
Senator Flynn said tonight that re-
ward of $4,000 will be offered by the anti
Quayites for proofs of any corruption in
connection with legislation.

MANILA, Jan. q. via Hong-Kong, Jan.

Filipinos, announces that the Congress at
Malalos has adopted the Philippine consti-
tution passed a vote of confidence in Aguin-
aldo and empowered him to declare war on
the Americans whenever he may deem it
advisable. At a mass meeting of women
at Cavite yesterday, the paper adds, it was
enthusiastically resolved to petition Aguin-
aldo for privilege to take mems places in
defense Of independence and to bear arms
if necessary.
NJ. Paterno has asked for, and, it appears
has been granted. the privilege Of taking
a prominent place in the line Of battle
against the Americans"
An American sentry yesterday evening
killed a captain of the Filipino artillery at
the Tonto outpost. AS a result the native
press is intensely excited and denounces it
as a "cowardIy assassination" On Satur-
day evening (Jan. 2D five Filipinos, de-
termined to have revenge for their captains
death, attempted to enter the American
lines. An American sentry killed one Cf
them, who was armed with revolver After
an exchange of shots the others were ar
rested The incident has intensified the eX-
citement.
The Mabini Cabinet yesterday insisted on
the liberation of the Spanish civil prisoners,
in commemoration of the proclamation of
the Filipino republic, and also donated
money to the native clergy. A decree to
that effect was signed. The Spanish clergy,
however, remain prisoners. An elaborate
programme has been arranged for the formal
ratification of the constitution to-day.
Nothing was accomplished at the confer
ence here yesterday, and it is rumored that
the Filipinos at their next meeting, will
give the Americans eight days in which to
accede to their demand for recognition. The
rumor is discredited.
