Washington. Feb. Ex-senator Clark

witness before the senate committee or
privileges and elections, nOtwithstand-
ing DR.. Treacey was also heard
Treacey, Justice Hunts physician, oc-
cupted the entire forenoon sitting and
a part of the afternoon session. His
statement concerning his interviews
with Justice Hunt corrOborated the
testimony of the justice in all essential
details, except that his recollection
was that $4,000 and not 100000, was
the amount mentioned by him as the
price which the justice would get for
having the case thrown out of the
/ supreme court.
! he said Justice Hunt was an intimate
/ friend, and he asserted his motive to
/ be, in taking the course he did, to test
/ his ability TO withstand the COrrupting
! influence of money. He had received
no funds from any source to pay the
bride suggested, and had been prom
ised none for that purpose.
Mr.. Clark necessarily went over much
of the ground covered by him in his
testimony Saturday. He was cross
examined by Mr. Campbell, and insist
ed that he had spent no money for
corrupt purposes during the Montana
senatorial campaign. He gave a de-
tailed statement of expenditures for
political purposes during the legisla-
tive and senatorial contests, which
footed UP, as Senator Turley an
nounced, to $780, 00
He declared that his only purpose in
entering upon the campaign was the
overthrow Of Mr.. Days rule in the
state, which. he said, was so tyrannicaI
that he would not desire to continue
his residence in the state if it was to
continue.
1t was said today that Mr. Daily
would go on the stand in rebuttal. He
is expected any day.
Before DR.. Treacey proceeded Chair
man Chandler produced copy of the
letter sent by Mr.. Clark to the Repub-
lican caucus of the Montana legisa-
ture. 1t was addressed to the chairman
of the caucus and was as follows:
Helena, Mont, Jan. 16, 1S99-Hon.
S. S. HobsOn-Dear Sir: In reply to
your valued favor of this date, request
ing me to define my position on the
tariff question, / beg to state that l |
am in favor of a high protective duty
on wool, hides and on every other |
product of this state, in order that pro- |
ducerS of raw material shall get an |
equitable advantage in the distribution /
of tariff duties IT is manifest that the
present schedule is inadequate to dis
charge the expenses of the government.
and there will necessarily have to be |
an increase and readjustment.
The manufacturing interests are en-
titled to enough 20 protect them against
cheap foreign labor, and they should
be satisfied to allow the producers of
raw material to have an equal advan-
-age.
Il maintain that no representative of
his state in the national congress
should allow himself to be committed
by caucus or otherwise to any policy
nat NCu4N DS III tOUiilCJ Nll0 OF DHGlu- I
iicial to the interests of the state.
Yours sincerely, w. A. CLARK"
