THE CLARK CASE.
Practically Impossible to Settle 1t
Before Taking Vote on Quay.

before taking Vote ON Quay.
Washington, April 20-It was intend.
ed to hold a meeting of the senate com,
mittee on privileges and elections to con.
slider the report of the committee in the
case of Senator Clark of Montana, but
owing to the recent changes made in the
text of the report it was found impossi.
bic to prepare it for presentation. II
now seems probable that no meeting will
be held before Monday. This postpone.
ment will render it practically impossi.
ble to dispose of the case in the senate
before the vote is taken in the Quay
case, as some senators had expressed u
desire to have done, but there is gen.
eral understanding about the senate that
all questions On this point will be settled
by Senator Clark refraining from voting
i'll the Quay ease
The principal difficulty in agreeing upon
report is found in the treatment Of the
episode connecting the Montana supreme
court with the Clark contest. There arc
also some differences as to the method OF
treating Congressman Campbells and
eX-State Senator Whitesde's connection
with the ease. Tho majority of the com
mittce are disposed to use the testimony
concerning the state court as strongly
corroborativc of the general charges
against Mr.. Clark, while Senators Pet
tus, Harris and McComas take the posi-
tion that as there was no proof connect.
ing Mr.. Clark with the alleged approach
es to the court this testimony should not
be used, as desired by the majority.
There is an effort in progress to adjust
these differences of opinion, but if this
is found impracticable the three senators
mentioned will, while agreeing in gen.
eral verdict, express dissenting views on
this point. There also is a possibility of
dissent upon the methods of Campbell
and Whiteside. But in no event will
there be any division as to the recon-.
mendation that the seat occupied by Mr..
Clark shall be declared vacant.

Owing to the distance between the places,
however, that cannot be connected with

CULLoM AND TANNER.

81. LOUIS Republic:
In studying the conditions prevail
ing in the senatorial fight in Illinois it
is apparent that the struggle posses
ses the customary features of a fac
tional conflict for spoils that have
characterized republican politics in
that state for some years past.
The old Cullom-Tanner feud seems
to have been brought to it's iercest
point of intensity through the efforts
of the anti-Cullom crowd to defeat
Senator Cullom for reelection. Ex-
Gov. Tanner, himself a candidate for
CullOm's seat in the United States
senate, is making a hard fight. and
it's effect is felt in an increased bitter
ness within the ranks of the republi-
can organization in Illinois. Other
candidates in the field are necessarily
focusing their attack on the present
senator. The feeling manifested by
the various factions promises any
thing but party harmony in the near
future.
There is a strong ability that
Senator Cullum will be victorious.
His forces are well organized. 1t is
known that the influence of the Nc
Kinley administration is exerted in
his behalf. The Tanner power has
grown woefully weak within the past
few months. The approaching climax
of the senatorial fight in the Illinois
legislature will probably see the Tan
ner weakness made still more appar-
ent. Cullum bids fair to win out over
his old enemy after a struggle in
which there has been little of dignity
and so much of hungry scram bling
for spoils as to constitute an uusatis-
flying spectacle for American eyes to
contemplate.

One can keep butter sweet a long
time, even in a hot room where it is
half melted, by keeping it covered with
brine made by putting into boiling wa
ter all the salt it will take up. Then
let it cool and pour over the butter.
Meat may bc preserved in the same
way. To be sure. it will become rather
salt, but when YOU wish TO use it take
il out of the brine the night before and
lay il across two spoons or sticks TO lift
il from the bottom of the dish in which
you wish TO soak il and then cover il
with fresh water. The salt will then
settle out of the meat. and it viii fresh

NOT a SURPRISING DISCOVERY.

An appended report to Gen. Mac
Arthur's review of the civil affairs of
the Philippines for the last fiscal year
gives what Chicago Record staff cor
respondent considers some rather
startling facts regarding the introduc-
ton and prevalence of leprosy in the
islands. According to the estimates
of the Franciscan fathers, says Ma
Guy l. Edie, the writer of the report,
there are no less than 80, 900 lepers in
the archipelago, the major portion of
these being in the Viscayas. Leprosy
was introduced in 1888, when the
emperor of Japan sent a ship
with $50 lepers to the Philip
pines to be cared for by the Catholic
priests. Thus the seed was planted,
and, as no practical methods were
adopted to eradicate the disease or
prevent it's spread, it has taken firm
root. A house-to-house inspection
begun last January found more than
100 lepers concealed in dwellings.
These were sent to San Lazaro hos
pital in Manila, but many others es-
capped into the surrounding country.
A commission is now engaged in the
work of selecting a suitable island or
islands for the purpose of isolating all
the lepers in the archipelago.
The discovery of the existence of
this horrible disease in the Philip
pines is not so surprising. notwith-
standing that it has been denied by
administration sources time and

The report of the condition of
things in Porto Rico, made by
DIR. A. ID Williams, assistant sur
geon in the United States army,
is narrowing. DR.. Williams. who
was detailed to make a report on the
condition of the people as observed by
him. says that hundreds of people are
lying very weak from starvation, and
that in some of the towns not even
physician is to be found. DIR. Will
liams gives some specifications, which
have been printed in the telegraph dis
patches and these show a widespread
condition among the poorer people of
the island that is terrible. The report
does not fix the cause for the starvation
and suffering. Perhaps the carpet bag
gers are robbing the island.
