United States senate committee on priv
ileges and elections meets tomorrow, il
will have to face another complication in
the Clark senatorial case. Gov Smith

suit the attorney general as to the form
in which he viii put a protest that he
will wire to the senate tomorrow. against
the acceptance Of the credentials Of Mr.
Clark on the appointment Of Lieut.. Gov.
Spriggs.
Gov. Smith will base his protest on the
ground that the appointment IS vitiated
because Of fraud. He will allege that the
resignation Of Senator Clark was written
in April, and the date that it now bears,
May Il, was the result of the erasHre Of

Claims Votes He Receives VIII

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Mr Wharton
Barker, the nominee for president of the
Cincinnati convention of the Middle of the
Road Populists, called on President Nc
Kinley today to pay his respects. Later
Mr. Barker said to a representative of
the Associated Press thar his nomination
at Cincinnati makes the election of Mr..
Bryan by the Democrats impossible.
I'm the last presidential election" he
said, ''Mr. Bryan received about $780, 600
votes. OF this number at least 1000 900
were Populists. This year 1 viii get 1,500-
600, possibly 1,75O,0O0, of that number.
This will cut Bryans vote to 100000 or
less. Where is he going to get the other
votes necessary to elect him? 1t is esti-
mated that Mr.. Mckinley received 1,5O0,-
600 votes from the Democratic ranks four
years ago. These will not go to Bryan
this year to make up his loss of Populist
votes. If German or some other Eastern
man had been nominated by the Demo-
Gratis this year ne would carry New York,
New Jersey, Maryland and Delaware in
the East, not to count doubtful states
elsewhere. The fight this year will not

ST. LOUIS, Mo, May 1.-THE culmina-

the st. Louis Transit. company and its
miniature army of employees is not yet

sion two hours. The strikers sub

handed to them by the railroad officials
last night, and which was rejected by
the executive committee of the railway
mems union at an early hour this morn
ing.
The Transit company officials at this
afternoon s conference in turn rejected
the counter-proposition of its employees,
the hitch resting entirely on a cfSuSe
which calls for the complete reinstate-
ment of all the old men. The railroad Of
ficials fatty stated that under no circum-
stances would the men employed by them
to supersede the strikers be displaced.
After the adjournment President Whit
aker, of the Transit company, stated that
HIS OllSI was l4leA anu N4lebI IL ray NV
altogether with the men whether the
strike was to continue or TO be called

siticn of the railroad company was sub
