WHITESIDE UNSEATED.
Sensations Thick and Fast in the
Montana LegisInture

HELENA, Mont, Jan. 26. - Sensa-
tons came thick and fast today in the
Montana legislature. Before the leg
islature met today in joint session the
grand jury reported that it had no
evidence on which to return fndict-
ments. For two weeks the grand jury
has been Investigating the charge Of
bribery made by State Senator White
side, when he turned over to a joint
committee thirty $1,000 bills, swearing
they had been given him and three
others by agents of W. A Clark, of
Butte, to influence their votes in his
favor for the federal senate White
side repeated his story to the grand
jury, and the three other witnesses
were examined on all phases of the
matter. One of Whiteside's alleged
partners in the vote-getting story de-
MED his statement in toto. Other con-
ficting evidence was given and the
jury failed to find evidence for any
indictments.
At the session of the senate this af-
ternoon, by a vote of IA to 9. White
side was unseated and a Republican
given the seat. Nine Democrats and
five Republicans voted to unseat him.
All those who voted for Whiteside
were Democrats. In the joint session
Whiteside made a long speech, in
which he made charges of bribery
against every man who voted for Mr..
Clark. After his speech was ended
one of the accused members arose in
his place and violently denounced
Whiteside as liar Of the deepest dye,
and there was hot time for a while,
but 40 serious results.

SPANIARDS HAVE TROUBLES.
Significant Absence of Gen. Correa
From a Cabinet Meeting.

MADRID, Jan. 26.-The cabinet met this
afternoon under the presidency of the queen
regent. The absence Of Gen. Correl, the min
lister Of war, was much coImnented upon, and
is believed to have been connected with a
decision, not yet diyulgsd, reached by the
supreme military tribuaaI relative to Gen.
Jaudenez, the Spanish couanander who capit-
ulated at Manila, and who has been in prison
since yesterday, and Gen. Toral, who capit
ulated at Santiago de Cuba, and who is alb
sent from Madrid.
The premier Senar sagrta, outlined the
governors intention relative to the peace
treaty. He said that Information received
by the minister OF foreign affairs, Duke AL
modeyar de Rio, had created the impression
that President Mckinley feared the treaty
would be defeated in the senate, and appre-
hended an obstinate resistance on the part
of the Philippine insurgents against the
Americans, who desire to sdeprive them of in
dependence and debase the Spanish govern
ment, which are sufficient reasons for the
triumph of the Observation-Disclosures In the
senate. Therefore the premier insisted that
the convocation-ef the eortes should no longer
be delayed.

In little back office in the court
block, overlooking the ruined audito-
rum of the Davidson grand opera
house, there was enacted Wednesday
the closing scene in a drama which
had it's prologue during the presiden-
tial campaign of 1896.

there came up for trial the suit of T.

packed with a German constituency.
which had always been overwhelming-
ly Democratic, but which was believed
to be favorably disposed to the sound
money platform, and both sides were
claiming the victory. Eastman was
the chairman of the Republican COM
nittee there.
Wfllwerscheid it happened, was in
St. Cloud turning an honest penny
building arches and decorating the
Stearns county capital in honor of
misunderstanding, the same festival,
by the way, which has recently been
brought into the notice Of non-Cath-
olics by some sensational disagree
ments in Assumption parish in this
city. ST. Cloud was in gala attire.
Arches spanned the main thorough
fares, and the loyal German Catholic
merchants had their fronts festooned
with bunting and banners
About the last day of the ceIebra-
ton William Jennings Bryan came
along and the local Democratic com
mittee emblazoned the town. Willwer-
scheid furnished the hags and such,
and In. the exuberance of some silver
ties enthusiasm a Roman candle was
shot through one of the evergreen arch
es, burning it like tinder
The Republicans saw that something
must be done to offset this outburst Of
Bryanesque enthusiasm. E. E. Lyt-
ton, president of the Sound Money club.
ordered Willwerscheid to deck the
sound money headquarters far and
away above the glo1ies which had
been shown by the Democratic com
mittee. and Lytton's request was coun-
tersigned by Eastman as chairman of
the local Republican committee.
But the sound money club. while it's
money was sound enough, seems
to have been in on a short Bit" In
stead of securing real old star-span-
gled banner of its own, which might
be treasured in the legends and ar
chives of the town alike, 1t was con-
tent to rent a flag from the St. Paul
painter. But the latter. fearful lest
the ensign might be ruined by a Roman
candle this time instead of some arch,
insisted on a guarantee that the flag
would be returned intact or a forfeit Of

Wednesday.

CAUSE ON THE SENATE
FLOOR
to the Pension Bill Pro-
viding Relief for Confederate
Veterans the Occasion for His
Remarks.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-As the senate
ton of the pension appropriation bill late
this afternoon Mr.. Butler Pop, n. c., offer
ed his amendment, announced some time ago.
providing for the pensioning of ex-Confeder-
ate soldiers. Upon this he took the floor and
delivered a speech which, as he proceeded
developed into a most unexpected utterance.
He maintained that the great fractricidaI
conflict was forced upon the South, and
that the people of the South simply defended
their personal and constitutional rights.
Under the compact of 1887 the Southern
states, in Mr.. Buffers opinion, undoubtedly
had right to withdraw from the Union He
was inclined to think the compact was no;
right, but it was a compact and ought to
have been respected. He believed that the
states whose soldiers were being pensioned
would not object to the pensoning of the ex-
Confederate soldiers.
Interrupting Mr.. Butler Mr.. Chandler said
he had no doubt the ex-soldiers Of the North
would be perfectly willing to set on foot any
reasonable testimonial of regard and respect,
but he did not see how the government of
the United States could recognize as Sen
atOr Butler had suggested, those who had
taken I'D arms against the Union
Mr.. Butler protested against the language
of Mr. Chandler, he had already explained,
he said, that the South did not take up arms
against the Union, except in self-defense
Il wish the senator would EXPLAIN in
quired Mr.. Chandler little later upon
what theory the United States government
could be asked to pay for property in the
South destroyed by the forces of the Union?'

MADISON, Jan. 26.-It is believed q.
break in the senatorial deadlock which
has existed since the beginning of the
session is soon to occur. The cause for
this belief lies in the fact that a con-
ference of all the managers of the sem
atorial candidates except Quarles was
held tonight. While the conference
was very secret one, rumor has it
that the managers of Stephenson, Bab-
cock. Cook and Webb are considering
plan to beat Quarles by consolidate
Ing their strength. Who the fortunate
one of the four will be. or whether the
prize will be thrown to a dark horse,
remains to be seen. The press and pub
lie throughout the state are becoming
uneasy over the situation, and a break
OF some kind will undoubtedly occur
in day or two.
Five ballots taken in the Republican
senatorial caucus tonight without
change, except that AssembIyman
Werheim went back to Webb from
Stephenson. Seventy three ballots
have been taken today. The ballots
stood: Quarles, 43; Stephenson, 25;
Babcock, II; Cook, II, and Webb, Is.

PARIS Bank Receives Back a Por-
tfOn of Its Lost Notes.

LONDON, Jan. 26.-The robbery of over
ECO 900 from Parr's bank, in this Guy on Mon
day last, which has been the sensation of the
week, took a dramatic turn today, when the
chairman Of the bank announced at a meeting
CT the shareholders that 940,GOO in the big
gest notes had been returned to the bank by
post.
The robbery apparently was a most daring
crime. The thief is supposed to have walked
boldly behind the counter, where there were
over one hundred clerks at work, opened a
drawer, from which he took parcel of notes
and walked out of the bank undetected Amer
lean thieves are suspected of having been
concerned in the theft as it is said several
Americans recently noticed lettering
about the premises. The police are again ut
terly helpless.

The Issue.

The last legislature clearly drew
the line between the Republicans
and the POpulists on educational
matters. The Republicans despite
their former protestation of interest
in education and their scuuulous at
tacks on the Populists as the oppo.
nents of education, despite these
mouthings, the Republican house
pat the knife to every appropriation
bill for the state educational institu-
tlons. The Republicans are for the
Rockefeller and Brown university
idea of education. They believe the
young ought to be taught by the
men who are willing to teach that
the trusts and corporations are the
patron saints OF America. They
know that when men like Rockefel.
ler and Armour who have made their
millions out Of trusts contribute to
educational institutions they expect
to get value received and that every
dollar spent as donation to educa>
ton by these men is really SO much
contributed to teach and weld the
brightest boys and girls to the grand
ola corporation trust party.
They appreciate the fact that there
is little danger of young man who
is taught to worship moDey-who is
taught that money not men are the
blessing to the state, that money is
king and the corporations can do
no wrong-that there is little dan
ger of a young man, so taught be-
coming Populist.
On the other hand the Populists
fully realize that if the truth is to be
clearly and fully put before the
bright, inquiring minds of the young
men and women of today it must be
done at the expense Of the people.
That the people cannot trust the
disciples of Mammon to fairly in.
form the youth of today. The Pop
ulst believes in having institutions
where every phase of economic life
can be discussed. Where a spade
can be called spade. Where the
man who steals millions will be CON-
demned as freely as the man who
steals dollars. The people must
keep the education of these Children
in their own hands. They cannot
