CLARK RESIGNS.
Senator from Montana 'Su -prises the
senate and His State-He Is at Once
Reappointed by the Acting Governor.

Washington, May 16.-Mr. Clark, of
Montana, swept the senate with sur
prise yesterday by a formal an
nouncement that he had sent his res
ignation as senator to the governor
of Montana. Mr.. Clark struck just at
the instant the iron was hottest.
Mr.. Chandler, chairman of the COM
mittee on elections, had given notice
that at 1 o'clock he would call up for
consideration the resolution reported
from the committee declaring Mr..
Clark not entitled to his seat in the
senate.
AT 1890 Mr.. Clark rose and adj
dressed the chair. He desired, he
said, to address the senate on ques-
ton of privilege personal to himself.
His address was n sharp arraign-
ment of the committees action and
report, an analytical discussion of the
evidence adduced at the investiga-
tion, an explanation of political and
business affairs in Montana and
bitter eXcoriation of Marcus DAILY and
his friends.
AS Mr.. Clark adverted to his desire
to hand down to his children n name
untarnished even by the breath of
disgrace. tears welled to his eyes and
his voice trembled with emotion. He
almost broke down. Then, bracing
himself. he read the letter he had
sent to the governor of Montana ten
dering his resignation. Little other
business of Importance was transact
ed.
Helena. Mont, May 16.-Acting
Gov. Spriggs last night appointed w.
A. Clark, of Butte, United States SEN
ator to serve until the next legisla-
ture shall elect his successor. Sena-
tor Clarll's resignation was filed early
in the day with the governor. Gov.
Smith, a bipartisan of the DAILY people,
left the state two weeks ago for Cali
fornia to attend to some mining cases
in which he is an attorney. At that
time there was no thought of Senator
Clark resisning. The resignation
came as u surprise to the people of
| the state.

A TOWN IN RUINS.
Fierce Fire Practically Wipes Out
Best Part of the Village OF
Fisher, Mich.

Milwaukee, May ia Sentinel spe-
cial from Marinette, Wis, says: Fire
started in the big lumber and cedar
yards of c. II. Worcester & Co. at
Fisher, Mich, 2s miles west of here. at
noon Monday, and by night the town
was in ruins. A high westerly wind
prevailed. The loss will be over $780,
600, partially insured. The C. H.
Worcester company of Chicago, which
owned most everything in the place,
is the heaviest loser.
The fire started in the lumber ward
early in the morning. and in a short
time the big sawmill planning mill,
schoolhouse, 40 dwellings, hospital.
two lumber yards and a number of
other buildings were in ashes. Two
hundred people are homeless there.
Mayor Utke, in response to telegram
for assistance, sent a fire engine. hose
cart and brigade of fire fighters to
help the stricken town. The major
portion of the town, which lies on the
east side of the railway track, is COM
pletely destroyed. Everything in the
town was burned except two dwell
ings, the company's store and the de-
pot. Famed by a high wind, the fire
burned furiously and was not extin-
guished until late. The plant of the
c. H. Worcester company will be re-
built, as the company owns a large
amount of timber land in that vicin-
ity. Many persons are reported to
have been more or less burned, though
none of the cases are believed to be
fatal

MUST PAY THE TAX.
Supreme Court UphoIds the Inherit
anee Clause Of War Revenue Law.

Washington, May 15.-The supreme
court of the United States yesterday
announced opinions in the cases aris-
ing under the inheritance tax provi-
sion of the war revenue act and also
in case involving the applicability
of the state Inheritance tax law of
New York to estates composed of
government bonds. There were five
decisions under the federal law and
one under the state law. The court
held that neither under the state nor
under the national enactment were
national bonds exempt from taSa-
tion. The validity of the general fed
eral law was affirmed, but it was held
to be purely applicable to legacies
and not to the entire estates of de-
ceased persons, the court holding
that ''the tax is on the passing of
legacies or distributive shares of per-
sonality, with a progressive rate on
each, separately determined by the
sum of each of such legacies or dis
tributive shares"

Khan, Second, son of Abdul Mejid
Khan" The smaller monogram just
beside it contains the words "El Ghazi"
(Warrior of the Faith), title which
the present sultan adopted after his
army had won several victories in the
Turko-Russian war. The queer shape
of the sultan's monogram is due to the
fact that it is copy of the form of
the signature of the first sultan, who
could not write. He signed his name
by bringing the thumb and fingers of
his right hand close together, dipping
them in ink and pressing them upon
the paper. The American secretary of
state, remarks the Little Chronicle, is
just now trying to get. an autograph
of the sultan-on the bottom of an or
der for $1,000 to reimburse American
missionaries whose property was de-
stroyed in the Armenian riots five
years ago.

Punishment Fitted Crime.

Rough and harsh as he was Nicholas
l., czar of Russia, had measure of
chivalry in his disposition. While
driving through the streets of St.
Petersburg on one occasion he caught
sight of an officer of his household in
the act of upsetting an old beggar
woman, whose hands were raised in a
prayer for aims. The official was
quite unmindful of the august witness
of his act, and was rather pleased
when, few hours later, he was sum
moned to the imperial presence. Mich
olas soon undeceived him, and in the
presence of dozen courtiers cut him
to the quick with his indignant re-
proof. Enough" said Nicholas, final
ly; ''you will walk up and down that
corridor all night, and every time you
turn you will say, In loud voice: L
ann puppy! am puppy!'"

NORTH
Carolina Fliminates the Negro
From Politics.

RALEIGH, N. c., AUGUST 2.-Afte
known in North Carolina, the whites tri
umphed. The election disfranchises tre
negro and changed the state legislature
from it's combination majority of republi
cans and populists to straight democratic
insuring the defeat of Marion Butler for
reelection as United States senator. The
negroes remained away from the polls.
The election, unexpectedly passed off
without any trouble, excepting at lit
tie town named Fanson. A fire there,
which started in a drug store wherein
was kept the registration books, de-
stroyed the apothecary's shop, the work
being attributed by the democrats to
those opposed to white rule. Bloodhounds
were called out, but failed to find any
trace of the alleged incendiary.
The election was for state officers
members Of the legislature and county
officers and for an amendment to the
state constitution looking to a practical
elimination Of the negro from politics, as
its adoption disfranchises the bulk of the
negro vote.
nv far the greatest interest centered In
the fight over the amendment The FAC
,,ltv of Livingston college, one of the
most prominent negro educational inst-
tutions in the south voted for it. The
amendment was opposed by the fusion oil
nonulists and republicans, headed by SEN
ators Butler and Pritchard. There was a
full poll of the democratic strength,
which combined with small negro anu
some populist and republican votes rol-
ed up a large majority.
Spencer B. Adams, federation nominee
for governor was defeated by Charles ~
Aycock, the democratic nominee anu al
the other democratic candidate were elec
ted The legislature is democratic In
both houses.
The returns from the west are incom

Washington, August 3.-"Fifty years

today He prt sent territory will be
gridironed with railro Ids; her deposits
OF coal, which are said to be vast, will
be contributing million of tons per
annum TO the fuel supply of the world,
and the products OF her iron mines
will govern market prices in such
commodities, She will build machine
shops and ships, and in certain line
of industrial activity, where handi.
work is indispensable. she will be pre-
eminent. 1t seems to me not a. al
unlikely that China may be the shoe
maker and clothier Of the world half
century hence.
There is not anything the Chinese
cannot do il they ave told how to do it,
Left to thems elves they would have no
industrial future. The Chinese brain
is not up to an appreciation of indus
trial progress: it does not know how
to take hold of industrial problems
Today the empire is an immense ag-
gregation of stored energy waiting to
be utilized, During the past ages it
has been developing vast population
which is capable Of doing one fourth
of the manual labor of the world. Add
to this population one-tenth of per
cent of Intelligent foreigners and the
Chinese will soon find themselves in
the front rank of progressive nations,
They have the physical ability and
sufficient intelligence to do what they
are told, besides which they are re-

progress and procure any procuct. ALL
they need is proper instruction. the
