SENATOR CLARK's CASE.

Senator Clark's resignation was simply
piece of sharp practice to get himself
into the Senate with title bsttsr than
his present one. He was elected Senator
by the legislature OF Montana last wiatsr
and went to Warrington with regular
credentials. On the strength Of these ore
dentials he was admitted to q seat In the
Senate. But his right to the seat was At
tackled on the ground that his election
had bssn procured By bribery and under
the CLAUSE OF the constitution which
makes each body the judge of the quail
fications Of Its own Nom bsrs the
Senate Instituted an inquiry
The committee to which his case
was referred reported unanimously that
his election had been procured ty bribery
and that he ought to be expelled. This
RET ort was pending In the Senate when
Mr.. Clark sent In his Resignation. IL
had not been adopted By the Senate. and
90 CLARK was SIN member Of that body.
His resignation creates q vacancy which
there can be NO uestion that the exeou-
tive has the power to MI. Ths precedent
established in the Corbett and Quay oasss
does not apply because In those oAsss tn ,
legislature had had opportunity to elect
o Senator and had failed. Neither OF
these vacancies happened during the re-
cess Of the Legislators. But the Mon tana
vacancy doss happen during rscess The
legislature elsotsd . Senator, and the
Senator took his seat and Was In actual
and legal possession OF IL when he re-
signed. Hence the vacancy created BY
Ciark's resignation II one which the
executive II empowered to I'LL The
governor Of Montana IL not friendly to
Clark and would never have appointed
him. So ClArk's resign Atien was with
held until ths governor had gone out Of
the state so far that he could not get
back before the lieutenant governor, who

would have time Co receive the reslgna.
tion and make an appointEaeunt. The
reason why CLARK resigned ON Tuesday
was because the governor Of MontAna
was In California, and Lieutenant Goy-
ernor Spriggs, . friend OF Clark's, was
acting governor. The only feature Of

IIarry's first Easter in Heaven,
The season YOU loved so well,
How often you spoke OF its beauties,
OFT on It's mysteries you'd dwell.
Yet anxious TO be With your Saviour,
TO behold the Lamb that was slain,
To see tho precious Redeemcr,
Who died and rose again.
Could we hear the choir of angels.
AS you'll hear at the sacred dawn,
Chanting the sweetest music.
On this GLORIOUS Easter morn;
Are the flowers blooming Swcety?
Are the fields of brighter green?
Is the glory far more dazzling
Than mortal here hath dreamed?
Yet the vito and sister miss you,
And tho home Is lonely there
Since you went with the angels
To land more bright and fair;
Yet clad in Christian armor
Deaths dart you could defye
Victor in LIES last battle,
Triumphant in the sky.
And He who guards thy precious dust
VIII slumber not nor sleep
Through countless ages God will watch,
His promise He will keep,
Grasses will wave and lilies bloom
Ger thy pulSeles5 breast,
we know thy soul Is with tho Lord, ~,
In etcfnity's sweet rest.

EscOrt-Conger Says the Relieving

Government VIII Not Order Him to
Leave the Chinese Capital.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-The depart
ment of state made public this morning
the following cablegram from Mr.. Con-
ger, which was received by Minister
WI late last night Aug. 81, being con-
tanned in telegram sent to him by the
taotai of Shanghai. It was handed by
Minister WI to the acting secretary Of
state:
"The tsung Ii yamen states to the dip
lomatic body that the various foreign
governments have repeatedly asked
through the respective Chinese minis
ters that we Immediately depart from
Picking under suitable escort. The va
men asks us to fix date for our depart
ure and to make the necessary arrange
ments to depart. Our reply is that we
will seek instructions from our govern
ments, and that in the absence of such
instructions we cannot quit our posts. I
must inform you that in order to insure
our safe departure, foreign troops only
can safely escort us, and they must be
in sufficient force to safely guard 800
foreigners, including 200 women and
children as we'll as 1900 native Christ
ians, who cannot be abandoned to GER
tain massacre. We cannot accept a
Chinese escort under any circumstances.
All my colleagues are dispatching the
foregoing to their respective govern
ments.
"Of the American marines seven have
been killed and 16 wounded, among the
latter Captain Myers and DR.. Lippitt,

This message is undated, but is sup
posed to have been sent on or after Aug.
4, when the imperial ediot removing the
inhibition against the ministers sending
cipher kilograms was received by the
tsung Ii yamen. 1t substantially accords
with the dispatch of the French minis
ter, M Ricon, to his government, which
was made public in Paris yesterday.
