sures the payment Of all the recent extra
ordinary expenses, ana will enable the
county to tighten the tax rate. compared
to what it would otherwise have been.

whatever and no reference TO the Manila
victory. At its close Admiral Dewey took
leave of the party. and amid cheers from
a small crowd of spectators was driven
directly 10 his house, where he soon re-
tired.

MANY STRIKES.

During the last ten days a desire to
strike has taken possession of en-
ployees in many industries, says The
New York Independent. While some
Of the controversies have been trivial
and short lived, others-the railway
strike in Cleveland, for example-have
been of most serious character. There
have been strikes of newsboys in New
York and Cincinnati, the little fellows
demanding concessions in price from
the publishers of certain afternoon
papers which are sold to readers for
one cent per copy. Tue telegraph
messenger boys in New York went on
strike, and those in Syracuse, Cincin
natl, Rochester, Philadelphia and
Pittsburg followed suit. But a ma
iority of these strikers OOH returned
to work. Many freight handlers in or
near New York are still out, but seven
hundred who were about to strike in
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company's
yards in jersey City were restrained
by the Raw. Father Brady, the pastor
of a Catholic Church in that city, who
urged them to have due regard for
their families and to rely upon the
company for justice. They returned
to work and intrusted their cause to a
committee. A strike Of brickmakers
in Chicago threatens to tie up all build
ing operations in that city, because
other workmen are going out in sym
pathy with them. The fruit of the IN
successful railway strikes in Brooklyn
eud>New York may be the formation
of a new labor party in local politics.
Nine thousand coatmakers in New
York are on a strike. The eight hour
law in Colorado has been pronounced
unconstitutional by the the courts, but
the smelters are still out.

ROTTENNKSs IN SOUTH CARO-
LIMA.

COLUMBIA, Aug. 5-The legislative
committee investigating the conduct
of the ~penitentiary by Col. Neal finds
him short eleven thousand dollars.
Neal admits m!sappropristing thirty
six hundred dollars. The committee
also finds that Senator Tillman and
John Gary Evans, when Governor,
worked a small fertilizer farm entirely
at the States expense, and indebted
the penitentiary for groceries and other
articles gotten for private use, and also
had their laundry work done at the
penitentiary. 1t will report to the
Governor, recommending criminal
prosecution of Col. Neal, and that the
two ex Governors be given an oppor-
tunity to pay what they owe.

BUYING SEATS IN THR SENATE,

Montana Supreme Court to Make an I'M
portant Test---Clark Alleged to Have
Paid Half q Million for His Election.
His Lawyer Who Negotiated the Deal
Before the Court on Proceedings to
Disbar Him.
HELENA, Mont, Aug. 4-The Su-
preme Court of this State has just rem
dered an immensely important decis-
ion. The court ordered that John B.
Welcome, lawyer, of Butte, must plead
in the action for his ~disbarment for
bribery Of legislators in the election
last January that seated in the United
States Senate William A. Clark, multi
millionaire, of New York and Butte.
Further, the court ordered that it
will hear the case without the inter
vention of a referee. Welcomes law
yers asked for an extension of time on
the ground that he is not in the State.
The court CURLY decided that his an
swer must be fled in ten days, and
that it must be on merits, and not
dilatory.
This decision is Of grave national i'm
p~ortance. 1t is the first step toward
answering the question: Can a seat
in the United States Senate be bought
and sold7"
The people of Montana believe that
the high water price, $500, 900, was
paid for the seat in 'the best club in
the world" that Mr.. Clark occupies, al
though the Senator's name has never
been brought directly and distinctly
into the purchase.
They believe that SO votes were
bought at an average price Of so, 900,
although the legislators did not get all
OF the half million.
To make a case before the Commit
tee on Elections of the United States
States, those who accuse Welcome of
bribery decided that they must begin
at home by having him disbarred.
Clark would have reached the United
States Senate in 1898 but for the oppo.
sition of Marcus Daily. He tried it
again last winter. Then it was that
Attorney Welcome appeared at the
front.
The Legislature met on January 2.
Welcome and ar army of agents had
appeared here the week before. Open
rumors Of bribery few thick and fast.
1t was plainly stated that Welcome
was paying SO, 600 apiece for Clark
votes.
On January 9 the two houses ap-
pointed a )int committee to investi-
gate the stories Of bribery, which were
too persistent to be ignored.
Fred Whiteside. State Senator from
Flathead county, an educated man,
had already investigated them for
himself. He testified before the com.
mittee and turned over to them three
envelopes containing $50. 900 in cash.
1t was a dramatic scene when White
sides testimony was read before the
committee the next day.
ITO learn all the facts I got in and
worked for Mr.. Clark" Whiteside de.
c!ared. They thought me a valuable
man, and told me all that was being
done. Or the $50. 900 in those envelopes
S., 1000 was paid to me for services I
was to have received $40. 900 later on
for my VOTE"
Such is some of the testimony that
will be laid before the Supreme Court,
and, if John B. Welcome be debarred,
before the Committee on Elections Of
the United States Senate,

the patient woke up With. a. strange rig
idty in his jaws, violent painsfall over the
sternum, intermittent difficulty of breath
ing and convulsive starts in the lower
limbs. A doctor being called I'm, he i'm
mediately proceeded toEthrow the patient
into a violent perspirattpn.~ For this pur-
pose he had hoops put under the bed
clothes in order to prevent their contact
with the body and then got four deep
pots filled with quicklime, which was
slightly mostened with water.
To prevent the skin from being
scorched, each pot was wrapped in linen
and then placed on each side of the pa
tent, orders being given to the family to
moisten the quicklime from time to time
and to change it when exhausted. The
heat engendered was so intense that on
the first day the bedclothes caught fire.
which. however, was speedily extin-
gushed. AS for the perspiration. is was
so immoderate as to pass all belief On
the fifth day all tetanic symptoms had
disappeared, except a little stiffness in
the jaws; the patient was in state of

ever. removed by good nourishment, and

the bridge gathered there in silence.
The bridge ladders had drawn up onto
the bridge, and this showed the ruf1ans
that we were ready for them.
Here they come, swarming up the
bridge stanchions. Crack, crack. crack
go the revolvers on all sides and the
Malays use the boarding pixies with
deadly effect, for it is too close quarters
for the rifles.
Three gain a footing; the chief officer
falls, stabbed in the back, but [ am
just in time to shoot down his cowardly
assa1lant. BY hard fighting we clear
the bridge and, although we have ac-
counted for at least 90, the numbers on
the deck below seemed to have actually
increased, and l saw that my worst
fears are realized--some Of the coolies
and the crew have joined the pi-
rates.
l turned and rapidly mustered my
small force-one officer dead. another
seriously hurt and one Malay missing.
But, thank God! the day was breaking.
The dim and uncertain shadows soon
give way to definite shapes and the
roseate streaks in the east herald the
near approach of day
Leaving some of their number under
the bridge, the pirates now crept aft,
and soon from the engine room arises
the sound of firearms with wild yells,
and yet l dare not move to the engi-
neers' ssistance-indeed ! momentar-
lily expect another rush to seize the
bridge.
Daylight! Nearly ahead are the ISL
ands looming up distinctly in the dis
lance and from under the land comes
rapidly a craft with lateen sails
spread in the morning breeze. The pi-
rate ship!
But another vessel was now to be
seen beyond the point-a steamer-a
gunboat certainly, and from the gam
the stars and stripes were flying.
In mad haste / ran the English en-
sign to the stay
The distress signal was quickly seen
and this, together with the sound of
firing, induced the gunboat to leave the
chase and steam toward us.
One shot more I heard from aft
only one-then the engines ceased to
throb and the ship lost her way and
stopped.
The boats from the war vessel were
alongside in few minutes and as the
blue jackets came piling over the side
the Chinese disappeared below and the
ship was taken without a blow being
struck.
With grave fears I led the way to
the engine room. All was silent, but
on every side the presence of the dead
pirates showed how terrible the con-
flict had been.
At his post we found him. the chief
engineer-dead, his hand still graspine
the starting lever of his engine, and
lying all around him his crew.
