The House.
The Senate.

Washington, May 16.-Mr. Clark Of
Montana fairly swept the senate with
surprise yesterday by a formal IN
nOuncemcnt that he had sent his res
ignatioD as senator to the governor Of
MoLtana. The announcement came
without previous notice, and proba-
bly, not a half-dozen persons in Wash
ington knew that it was to be made.
Mr.. Clark struck first at the instant
the iron was hot. Mr.. Chandler. chair
man of the committee on privileges
and elections, had given notice that
he would call up at l o'clock the
unanimous report Of the senate de-
claring Mr.. Clark not TO be entitled
TO his seat in the senate. A spirited
contest owe the resolution was eX-
pected and every senator in the city
was in his seat. At 1890. when The
routine business was concluded Mr..
Clark rose in his seat. He desired.
he said in a low. tense voice, to al
dress the senate OF a question of the
highest personal importance to him.
Instantly there was a buzz i'll the
chamber. Senators on both sides Of
the aisle hurried to seats near Mr..
Clark and a hush fell over the as.
semblage as the Montana senator be
gan to speak. At first his words
scarcely could he heard, but as he
proceeded his voice became clear. and
while at no time did he speak loudly,
the intense earnestness of his utter
ances carried his address to the re-
hottest parts of the chamber. His
address was a sharp arraignment OF
the committees action and report, an
ANALYTICAL discussion of evidence adj
duced at the investigation, an eX-
PLANTATION of political and business
affairs in Montana and a bitter eS-
c~oriation of Marcus DAILY and his
friends. AS Mr.. Clark adverted TO
his desire TO hand down to his chill
dren a name untarnished I'VE by the
breath of disgrace, tears welled 10
his eyes and his voice trembled with
emotion. He almost broke down.
Then bracing himself, he read the let
ter he had sent to the governor or
Montana rendering his resignation.
At the conclusion Of the speech Mr..
Clark became the center of a group
of senator's. all DESTROYS Of pressing
his hand. Little other business of inn
portauce was transacted. The reso-
luton relating to Mr.. Clark went over
until Tuesday, and the senate pro-
ceeded TO the transaction of routine
business.

Butte, Mont, May 20.-Gov. Smith
to Senator w. A. Clark, Senator Chan
dler. chairman Of the committee on
privileges and elections. and Senator
Frye. president of the senate. saying
he had disregarded and revoked the
action of Lieut.. Gov. Spriggs in nam
ing Mr.. Clark to succeed to the va
cancy caused by his own resignation,
and saying he had named Martin Ma
ginnis of Helena TO fill the vacancy.
The governor gives as his reasons his
opinion that the appointment OF Mr..
Clark by the lieutenant governor was
tainted by collision and fraud. The
dispatches are practically the same,
