In the Senatorial InveSti-
cation Today.
BUT TWO WITNESSES
Were On the Stand, One of Whom
Was Member of the Legislature
From Silver Bow County-The
Evidence Given.

Washington, Jan. 22.-When the senate
committee investigating Clark's election
to the senate began it's session today
Faulkner Informed the committee that
the Ector letters had not yet arrived,
although they left Butte last Monday
night.
President Smith of the Montana Ma
tional Bank Of Helena was the first wit
ness today. Smith said neither Clark
nor Welcome had transacted any busi-
ness in the bank during the last legisla-
ture, except that Clark had deposited a
personal check for $4,000, but had never
drawn on that account since.
The witness had no knowledge of nu-
merous thousand dollar bills being in cir
culatfOn during the session.
p. w. Murray, member of the legis-
lature from Butte. testified to having
been approached and his vote solicited
for Clark by Mr.. Gallick. He also said
George Casey offered to buy certain of
the witness mining properties on condi-
tion that he vote for Clark. He had re-
fused all propositions because Clark had
opposed the election of the ticket on
which he had made the race for the legis-
lature.
At this point the prosecution an
nounced they had no more witnesses on
hand and the committee adjourned until
tomorrow

ton is not due to any effort or intent to
make her so, but has come accidentally,
and as an incident to the mining that
has been carried on there.
''The rand belt of mines stretches for
full 80 miles before johannesburg. and

mounds of ground-up rock and debris,

Most OF. Them Rescued .

Los Angels, Calf, Jan. 22.-Eight of the
eleven men who were entombed in the
Third street tunnel by a caving-in Of earth
yesterday were rescued unnjured today
John DeJOe Is still entombed and is in
'tured. but it is not known how seriously
1t may take several hours to reach him
though he has been communicated with
Foreman CraWley is doubtless dead.
Many tons OF earth fell in the part Of
the tunnel where he was. 1t will be some
time before he can be reached The theory
advanced for the cause of the caving in
of the tunnel is that sewer broke over
the place where the men were working
and the water saturating the earth
caused it to become heavy and fall.

Poor Opinion Of Beers.

New York, Jan. 22.-Fritz MOsenthal
for thirty-five years a resident Of South
Africa, member of the johannesburg
cerned in the Jameson raid, all of whom
We're apprehended, were compelled to pay
fines of $4,000 each and who is also a
gold mine director, has arrived in the
city, from Germany. Mr.. Mosenthal. al
though German, has a rather poor opin-
ion Of the Beers, and says they are cow
ards. Speaking of the Beers as a peo-
pie, Mr.. Mosenthal said:
''The Boer has no personal courage. He
will fight when he is under cover, but in
the open, man to man. he is no match
for either the BritOn or any other white
antagonist. The Beers do not as class
possess any education and do not wish to
possess any. The moment Boer becomes
city resident and his financial condition is
enhanced thereby he becomes British
subject and renounces the Boer traditions.
PERSONALLY, believe that the war sit
uation now centerS in the district around
Ladysmith and believe that the British
will gain decisive victory soon, in
which case the trouble will virtually be at
an end"
Regarding the Delagoa bay situation,
Mr.. Mosenthal said that in case Of its
being closed by England. which has the
first claim on it by existing treaty viii,
Portugal, there would be no inlet or out
let for Boer munitions Of war, the dis
tance from points in the interior being en-
tirely too great to admit of sending sup
plies of any kind from that direction.
Regarding the right of franchise denied
to the British. previous to the declara-
ton Of hostilities, Mr.. Rosenthal said it
was quite true that Kruger had Offered
to the outlanders a franchise after five
years, but always with the reservation
that each case should be passed on by
the older citizens of the comm or wealth.
Mr.. Mosenthal said that while it was
generally believed that Dom Paul was
wealthy. there was no means of knowing
just how rich he is. Mr.. Mosenthal left
South Africa in September. some time
previous to the declaration of hostilities.

them with artillery would be simply to
waste ammunition, for the shells would
be lost. Let them explode in any part
of the mound, the shifting Stag would
Immediately fill up the hollow thus
made, and the pile would be as before.
Absolutely no advantage would accrue
to the attacking party.
Just to give you an idea how great
a quantity of these tailings there must
be, take the following calculation: There
are mills with say 5000 stamps in the
Transvaal, which have been running
steadily for five years. They, or large
part of them, have really been running
longer, but for the sake Of argument, we
will put it at five years. That means
there are sufficient tailings adjacent to
johannesburg to construct fOrtificatiOn
20 feet wide by six feet in height from
that point to Capetown, and even fur
ther."

Comsing Is Prohibited.

Chicago, Jan. 22-The Times-Herald
cago was made manifest yesterday At
the acknowledged headquarters of the
enthusiasts, men and dogs had gathered,
the jack rabbits, imported from Wichita,
Kan, at an expense of $3.50 apiece. were
there, and all that was necessary was to
start the game going. But the agents
Of the Illinois Humane society and blue
coated officers detailed by the city came
also. And there was no coursing.
The cOursers came early and brought
their hounds, eager for the chase of the
festive jack rabbits. It was to no pur-
pose. The detectives sent by the hu-
name society were on the ground early,
and hobnobbed with the bluecoats de-
tailed thither by the city authorities.
The ukase promulgated against coursing
a, week ago was evidently still in prog
ress.
President John J. Shortall of the hu-
name society had this to say today of
the action of the organization in stopping
the coursing:
"We sent out officers to arrest any per-
sons who might attempt to have cours-
ing We have nosQuarrel nor has the
state Of Illinois with any person who de-
stroys mercifully a life that he owns, but
to torture an animal to death is forbid
den by the laws of Illinois. 1t is cer-
cruel act to cause the death Of an animal
through the agency of the teeth or claws
Of another animal, simply for sport. 1t
is a lawless, demoralizing sort of enter
tainment and ought not to be cOunte-
nanced."

Helena, Jan. 22.-The supreme court
today refused a new trial to William
Pepo. convicted iii Teton county in June
of last year of the murder of julius
Plath on June 2S, 1898, and sentenced to

tanned by the evidence. Plath's dead
body was found in an abandoned cabin
on Muddy river, few miles northwest
of Great Falls. Nearly year ago Pepo
was apprehended in Washington and
brought back for trial. The evidence
against Pepo was largely circumstantial,
but the higher court holds it was sufii-
cent.

WORK OF THE SENATE.

Washington, Jan. 22.-In the senate
Platt On. Y) offered a joint resolution
authorizing the president to ask the gov
ernment of Great Britain to join in the
promotion Of an international commits
sion to examine and report on the diver
sion of waters that are the boundaries
of the two countries. Referred to the
committee on foreign relations.
Allen offered a resolution calling on the
secretary of the treasury for all nfor-
the custom house to the National City
bank of New York. 1t went over UNI
der objection.
= Pritchard then called up his resolution
relating to the proposed amendment TO
the constitution of North Carolina which
if adopted it is alleged disfranchises a
large class of voters Of the state. After
reading the resolution Pritchard address
ed the senate in support of 1t, his address
being in answer to that delivered several
days ago by Morgan. While it is claim
ed the object of the proposed amendment
was to secure white supremacy he said
Prltchards real purpose was to disfral
chise thousands of whites and coored
citizens and thus create an office hold
ing class. There could be no fear Of
negro domination in North Carolina, he
declared, because the whites outnumber-
ed the blacks by two to one. He regard
ed the attempt to amend the constitution
as an effort to legaize fraudulent me tn
DDS of the democratic party.
