New York, May 1S.--A dispatch to the

natural course of events its strength
must mainly be thrown for the liberals,
and may be the deciding factor.
There always is some secret movement
in Ireland. but certainly it is not suffi-
ciently active at the present time to give
the least ground for alarm.
Lord Salisbury and his colleagues We're
getting anxious about the possible elec-
tolal effect of the wave of pro-Irish SEN
timent caused by the galantry of the
Irish troops and the success of the

the spread of the idea fostered by the

be made in response to the Irish national

the ST. Louis Transit company and its
army OF employees is not yet in sight,
Notwithstanding the conferences held
during the past week.
shortly after O'clock this afternoon
the .rion grievance committee and the
TRANSIT company officials again met at
the Planters hotel and continued In ses-
sion two hours but the conference was
without definite result.
TIE differences have narrowed down to
a clause which calls for the complete re-
instatement of all the old men. The rail-
road officials fiatly stated that under no
circumstances would the men employed
by them to supercede strikers be displac-
ed. After the adjournment President
Whitaker of the Transit company stated
that his offer was final and that it lay
now altogether with the men whether
the strike was to continue or be called
off.
The grievance committee at once left
for the west end of the Coliseum, where
the general committee of the strikers

AN UNLUCKY SHOT.
Court of Inquiry Will Investigate the
Conduct Of Captain MCGOWAN.

Washington, May ia court of in
Quiry has been ordered to meet in Wash

Rodgers, Cotton and Terr to investi-
gate the circumstances attending the
shooting by Captain MCGOWAN # a
Filipino near the United States Monitor
Monadnock, in the harbor of Cuba on
Nov. q, 1899, and also the alleged failure
OF the captain to report the matter to
the commander in chief of the Asiatic
squadron. The facts in the case as they
are reported to the navy department AN,
that while the officer was on the deck Of
his ship, native boat which had been
warned away before, only to return, was
hovering about The natives had been
attempting to smuggle rum aboard and
the commanding officer had given orders
that no authorized native boats should
pe permitted to approach the Monad-
mock. When this particular craft failed
to make off as required the captain him
seif taking a revolver sought to frighten
tne crew by firing shot across their
DOW. Unfortunately the shot, striking
the water, was detected so as to pass
through the body of one of the Flipnos.

Salt Lake, May 1S.-Thomas r. Kinds.
VINO accompanied Governor Smith to
Grass Valley, Cal, is quoted in the Trib-
une this morning as follows:
Under ordinary circumstances I
would not consider as worthy of notice
the sensational assertions made in this
matter, especially the assertion made by
James T. Finlen at Butte. But, in view
of the fact that I am a personal friend of
Governor Smith, and also of Senator
Clark, I think it best to make state
ment myself. There is not a word of
truth in the assertion made that l in
duced Governor Smith to go to Califor-
MIA for the purpose of enabling Lieu
tenant Governor Spriggs to appoint w.
A. Clark as senator. Any assertion to
the contrary is malicious and premedi-
tateA falsehood. I was not in any way
connected with any scheme to bring
about the political move that has been
made. James 7. Finlen sees fit to say
that I had no authority to act for his
father, and called Governor Smith a liar
whel. he stated that he had gone to Cali
fornia IN the interest of myself and Miles
Finlen. I desire to say in this connec-
tion that James T. Finlen came to me
less than one week before l started for
California and asked me when l would
go for the purpose of examining the
property, as l had promised his father
I would do. told him I would leave for
California some time this month-as
soon as I could get my affairs straight
ened out, and I did SO, and there is no
justification for his statement that he
knew nothing of my intention to go on
the errand referred to. I regret having
been unconsciously the means of getting
the governor out of the state but at the
same time I endorse the action of the
lieutenant governor. and believe that 80
per cent Of the qualified electors of Mon
tana would endorse that action if called
on for an expression of opinion. The
possibility of anything like this happen
ing never once even suggested itself to
me-"
Judge Goodwin, in a column editorial
this morning. speaking of Clark, among
the other senators, says:
1.-The fact is that they do like him. He
is valued senator in one way. He is a
man Of clear judgment and he is the
best worker in the senate And then his
legal title is perfect. Every constitu-
tional requirement is filled. There was
an election of senator in the Montana
legislature last year: the senator resign
ed; the acting governor of the state ap-
pointed another senator, as the constitu-
-tion of both Montana and the United
sible doubt in regard to the matter had
the acting governor appointed some 9TH
er man. But there Is no law that pre-
scribes what kind of man the governor
shall appoint, so that he is a citizen
and has the qualifications prescribed by
law for holding office. In other words
We think Clark has got them, and the
laugh is on Governor Smith and other

away behind 1T all is the fact that
there We're two factions in Montana that
We're following the spite, the loves and
the hates OF two men, and they demor-
allied the state One faction has won.
This year Montana will elect two sena-
tors. And then the manhood of Mon
tana Will assert itself and the people of
the east need not think, because of what
has gone on in Montana that 1t is a state
peopled by men who are corrupt. Let
any one declaim ever so much against
the practice which has prevailed in Mon
tana and still, if he has amy sense of hui
NOR in him, we think this morning he is
disposed to laugh at the final
outcome of the long and embittered
fight, and when he thinks of
Mr.. Clark reading his farewell address in
the senate, with tears running down his
cheeks, with such an apparent sense of
surrender as the father Of his country
displayed when he put out his farewell
address, and then thinks of his returning
next morning ready to take the oath and
to go on with the busines of the day, why
the man who would not laugh at that
would have no more sense of humor in his
soul than a hippopotamus. After the
laugh is over, then good people of Mon
tana will pick up the unraveled ends of
their character as state, weave 1T into a
fabric and. II we are not mistaken, will
have about the purest campaign in Mon
tana this year of any state in the United
States. For man to man there is not a
state in the union that has greater pro-
portion of stalwart, honorable men than
has Montana.

Washington, May 1S.--An agreement
has been reached between the members of
the senate committee on privileges and
election and friends of Senator Clark that
the matter shall go over until Monday;
that no effort shall be made to get action
on the committee resolution tomorrow,
and that If Clark's credentials arrive pre-
vious to that time they shall not be pre-
sented before Monday. This is due to the
fact that there are already number of
special orders for tomorrow in the senate.
There was no vote on the question of
reference to credentials under the lieuten-
ant governors appointment but there is
no doubt that the committee holds that
reference should be made, especially in
view of Governor Smiths letter.
Senators Plitchard and Harris express
ed themselves as opposed to the refer
ence of credentials when they arrive. Tur-
ley took the position that when the SEN
ate assumed jurisdiction of the case it no
longer rested with Mr.. Clark to determine
1T by resigning, While Pritchard held that
the right of resignation was personal
rlght ana could be exercised at any time.
He also contended that the vacancy in the
seat occupied by Clark began when the
latter made the announcement of his res
lgnation. There were some references to
the re-appointment of Clark by the lieu
tenant governor, indicating the opinion
that it was not in accord with the sena..
torial idea of securing seat in the SEN
ate.
The adoption of the resolution was pre-
ceded by discussion of the various points
involved in the controversy, including
the proper course to be pursued with
reference to Clark's credentials when
presented.
The principal discussion, however, vas
based upon the resolution directing the
chairman to press the resolution hither-
to reported to the senate from the com
mittee, stating that Clark was not dlly
and legally elected to seat in the sen-
ate." The vote on the resolution stood ;
to g. Senators Pritchard, Harris and
Pettus voted in the negative. The sena-
tors expressed the opinion that the res
igna, ,ion of Clark had the effect of def
initely settling the case, and that the SEN
ate was not called upon to take further
action. Under Chander's original notice
the resolution will come up in the senate
at O'Clock tomorrow and by direction ef
tts committee he will make strenu-
Gus effort to secure an early considera-
ton of it.

The general impression is that no ac-
tion will be taken on either resolution or

The following dispatch was received
and read to the committee from Governor
Smith dated Butte, Mont, May II: :.
Hon. w. e. Chandler, Washington:
| desire to present in as forcible man.
ner as possible my protest against the
course pursued by Hon. w. A. Clark. in
attempting to defeat the action of the SEN
ate of the United States upon the resolu-
tlon presented by the committee ON priv
1leges and elections affecting his title to
his seat and to protest against the meth
DDS pursued by him in securing an ap-
pointment at the hands of the lieutenant
governor during my absence from the
state under circumstances and conditions
which to my mind indicate collusion and
fraud. His conduct in attempting his res
ignation and procuring reappointment
under such conditions as he did, If the
matter was before court of justice
would have been considered contempt of
court on his part. I, therefore, trust that
the committee and senate will proceed to
proper consideration of the question, so
that the rights not only of Clark, but of
the state of Montana, in the premises
may be determined and that upon presen-
tation of his credentials of appointment
by the lieutenant governor the same be
transferred to the committee on privil-
eges and elections for investigation, and
that be permitted to make more COM
plete and detailed statement of the facts
concerning the resignation and appoint
ment of Clark. "The language of the
