SENATOR CLARK's CASE.
He Is CounseIcd by Friends Not to
Resign.

heNtEh-
Senator William A. Clark will not resign.
He has made no formal statement con
cerning the course which he will pursu-.
ether than that he will be guided by the
advice OF his friends. but It is understood
that these friends have counseled him to
fight rather than resign.
The first proposition on which he and his
friends will stand is that the Senate can
not oust him by mere majority vote, but
that a two-thirds vote is necessary to ac-
cOmplish this result. If this proposition
can be sustained. and Senator Clark's ad-
visers are confident of this. it is though.
by many that he may retain his seat.
It is said that among those Senators who
are prepared to undertake the fight that
the Senate cannot unseat on majority
vote are Messrs. Clay and Bacon Of
Georgia, Mason of Illinois, and Heitfeld OF
Idaho.
Senator Clark has received thousands of
kilograms of confidence in him. A large
proportion of these messages are from
Montana. These Senator Clark and his
friends regard as significant Of the general
sentiment in the State and throughout the
country. In advising him not to resign, Mr..
Clark's friends are actuated largely by the
fact that the report Of the committee,
which. it is thought, will be submitted
early next week, does not sustain the di-
rect charges Of bribery against him, but
merely condemns the Wholesale use of
money in the contest before the Legislature
that ended in his election. If the commit
tee had found as a result of its investlsa-
tion that MF Clark had been guilty Of ab-
solute bribery he would have regarded the
rebuke as OF such a nature as to compel
him to resign

A VIRGINIA ROMANCE.
story of Husband Who shielded
His Wife's Crime.

RICHMOND, Va, April 12-The an
nouncement made today from the Gov
ernor's office that Connaliy Fields could
return to Virginia with the disgrace at
tached to the crime Of murder removed
from his name. has. brought TO light a 10
mantle story. in which a man sacrificed all
to save his wife. In 1884 Fields was re-
spected farmer Of Scott County. His wi-e's
brother. W. A. Scott whose reputation was
not Of the best, had given him considerable
trouble. and finally he forbade him 70 come
on his place One day Scott disregard6d
the order a fist fight followed. and Fields
was beaten. His wife rushed TO his assist
ance and stabbed her brother to the heart
with a pair Of scissors. ..-.-.
Fields took the first train for the West
and, as there were no witnesses. all be-
Heved that he was the murderer. His wife
some years afterward became involved in
a difficulty with a woman and killed her
for which she was sentenced to the peni-
tentiary. short time ago, as she was
dying of consumption, she was pardoned.
The truth then became known, and
amends were at once made as far as pos
sible for the wrong that her husband had
suffered. Fields is said to have prospered
greatly in his new home, and it is doubtful
If he will care to return to the State Of his
birth

NO ELECTION In MONTANA.
Governor Smith Says He VIII Not
CnII an Extra Session.

HELENA. Mon. April 12.-In an inter-
view here this evening Governor Smith an
nounced that under no circumstances would
he call an extra session of the Legislature
to elect a successor to United states Sena-
tor W. A. Clark.
The Democratic press Of the state IS
clamOring for an extra session. on the
ground that the present Legislature IS
Democratic, and would naturally elec- a
Democrat II anyone. In these editorials
the Governor is plainly warned of the prob
ability Of the Legislature to be chosen iris
fall being Republican. in which event his
appointee TO the Clark vacancy would lie
succeeded by Republican, thus Cosuns
the Democrats a Senator for five years at
least Senator Carter's term expires
March next. so the Legislature next vim
ter will elect two Senators.

SIGNED BY THE PRESIDENT.
The Porto Rican Tariff Bill Be
comes n Law.

President Mckinley affixed his signature
to the Porto Rican bill last evening at
O'Clock. There was no formality OF any
kind attending the act. Not even the usual
new gold pen was in evidence. and the
only persons present besides the President
were Secretary Root and Mr. Corteiyou,
Assistant Secretary TO the President.
An engrossed copy of the bill was pre-
pared Wednesday Immediately after its
passage by the House. and yesterday after
noon shortly after l o'clock it was pre-
sented to Speaker Henderson for his sig
nature. A few minutes later Senator Frye,
President Pro TEN. OF the Senate, added
his signature Representative Baker Of
Maryland Chairman of the House Commit
tee on Enrolled Bills. took the copy of the
bill to the White House, arriving there a
few minutes after o'clock. The bill was
taken Immediately to Mr.. Mckinley, but he
declined to sign it then, as he was prepar-
ing for a drive. Owing to the press OF other
business after his return, the bin was not
presented to him until evening. when, after
carefully reading it, he affixed his sigma
ture.
