MIR. CLARK'S RESIGNATION.
Opinions of Senf-O.s on Governor
Spriggss A intmenf.

Spriggs' A i intment.
Washington, May Ex-senator Chand-
ler, of New Hampshire, chairman of
the Senate Elections Committee, when
Informed of Mr. Clark's appointment,
said: 4 reckon the trick won't work"
Senator McComas, a Republican
member of the committee, said: IF
the report of the appointment is true.
apparently the case would depend upon
the fate of the pending resolution re-
ported by the Committee on Privileges
and Elections in the Clark case.
IF that resolution should be passed
it would be a judgment of the Senate to
the effect that the seat was vacant
from the beginning of the term, and
we should then have the Clark case
substantially a repetition of the Quay
case"
Senator Caffery, of Louisiana, a
Democratic member of the committee
concurred with Senator McComas, as
did Senator Jones, of Arkansas, Dem
Ocrat.
Senator AIdrich, of Rhode Island, said
that Senator Clark had made a mis-
take in getting the appointment.
Senator Allison said: 'If the ap-
pointment is made under the statutes
of Montana l don't think it can be un-
done by the Governor upon his return
to Montana. Moreover, my opinion,
without having had opportunity to in
vestigate the case closely, is that Sem
ator Clark's resignation takes effect
from the time it was rendered. I do
not believe that the fact that the resig-
nation is rendered pending an investi-
cation can have any effect. In the
Caldwell case, indeed, no further pro-
ceedings were taken after Mr.. Caldwell
rendered his resignatiOn.'
Senator Butler, Populist, of North
Carolina, said: Il don't think that the
Senate can refuse to seat Mr.. Clark.
According to all precedents, vacancies
occur when a resignation is ten
dered'

SOLDIERS PROTECT A NEGRO
FROM A MOB.

Richmond, Va, May 14-At Martins
vile, Henry county, to-day a special
grand jury indicted Charles Hairston,
charged with attempted criminal as
sault upon Miss Gauldin. The prisoner,
who was removed from the Martins
vile Jail Saturday to prevent trouble,
was rel0dged in Jail there tonight un-
der the protection of the Lynchburg
Home Guard, the Roanoke Light In
fantry and the Piedmont Rifles. The
people of Martinsville are intensely in
dignant, but have determined to give
the law a chance to take it's course.
Rumors had gained circulation of a
threatened uprising of negroes to rescue
the prisoner, but there was no truth in
it. A Martinsville special says that, to
the contrary, the better element of the
negroes are with the whites, and when
excitement ran high many Of them ex-
pressed the opinion that Hairston
ought to be lynched.

CLARK'S APPOINTMENT
By Acting Governor of Montana
rIay Not Be Approved By
rIinOrity.

A Washington special says: The
senate committee on elections decided
at its meeting Friday morning to press
the resolution declaring "that William
A. Clark was not duly and legally
elected to a seat in the senate of the
United States by the legislature of the
state of Montana. The vote in the
committee was to 3. Those who
voted in favor of pressing the resolu-
ton were Chandler, Hoar, McComas,
Gallery and Turley.
Pettus, Harris and Pritchard were
against further proceedings on this
line, taking the position that the an
nouncement by Senator Clark of his
resignation brought an end to the
matter and placing it beyond the juris-
diction of the senate. This, they
claim, is in line with all precedents.
Mr.. McComas first voted with the
minority, but afterwards changed.
Under the notice given by Senator
Chandler this resolution was to have
been called up Saturday, but owing to
the fact that it was a broken day with
the Grant monument exercises before
the senate, it was decided that il
should 60 over until Monday.

MAFEKING RELIEVED
London At Last Hears Glorious
and Welcome News.
BELEAGUERED SINCE LAST OCTOBER
Baden-POweli and His Little Band Of
Defenders Get High Praise
For Thslr Success.

Adyices from London state that o
dispatch Of the Associated Press an
nouncing the relief Of Mafeking was
posted outside the Mansion House
Friday and the news rapidly spread.
A large crowd collected and quickly
all the streets in the neighborhood
we're resounding with cheers.
The war Office at 8 o'clock had an
nounced that no news had been re-
eeived, but at 0:40 the lord mayor,
Mr.. A. J. Newton, in his official robes
of Office, announced the news to the
crowd outside. The lord mayor was
accompanied by the lady mayoress to
the front Of the Mansion House, where
an immense portrait Of Colonel Baden
Powell was displayed, bearing the in
scription: "Mafeking Relieved"
The the attendants were waving
union jacks, the lord mayor briefly ad-
dressed the assemblage saying:
II wish your cheers could reach
Mafeking"-
Here the speech was interrupted by
redoubled cheering and the singing
Of ''Rule Britannia" after which the
Lord Mayor remarked:
"We never doubted what the end
would be or that British pluck and
courage would conquer at last.
The masses of people outside the
Mansion House soon grew to such di-
mension that the police were compell-
ed to divert all traffic, omnibuses, etc. ID,
through the side streets. The cheer
ing is now incessant. The news was
also announced in special newspaper
editions and the tickers in all Of the
resorts. The enthusiasm outrivaled the
scenes which followed the relief of
Ladysmith.
The dispatch Of The Associated
Press containing the news of the re-
lief of the long besieged place was
sent to the house of parliament, where
it created a great deal of excitement
in the press gallery and lobbies and
soon began to be circulated among the
members of the house of commons.
London's millions spent half the
night in the street, and even at 4
o'clock Saturday morning troops Of
young men promenaded, singing and
cheering, and there were crowds in
front of the Marlborough house, the
clubs on Pail Mall and the war Office
and in Parliament square, waving flags
and joining in the national airs.
This sustained believing and up
roar of hundreds of thousands amazei
the Engllshmen who ceases for mo
ment to be an actor and becomes
merely an observer. Sober, phleg
matte London was beside itself witt
emotion.

REEVES MAKES CONFESSION.
Deputy Auditor of the Island of
Cuba Admits of Wrong
DOinC.

A special from Havana says; w. II.
Reeves, deputy auditor of the island
of Cuba, made confession at mid
night Friday and gave up 81, 500 given
to him by G. r. w. Nicely, the arrested
financial agent Of posts at Havana, to
perform certain services the day he
left. General Wood and the postal
inspectors refuse to disclose the ma
ture of the confession, barely admit
ting that one has been made. 1t is
claimed that 81 400 more will be re.
covered.
General Wood says that the report
from Muncie, Ind, that nearly &c.,
900, 900 worth of stamps have been
printed there and sent for distribution
to Cuban postofices can be regarded
as O canard.
It is believed now that the whole
story is known and that the amount of
the defalcation will fall between $780,
600 and $4,000.

A marked increase in the number Of
left-handed persons is noted by a
Washington physician. The only re-
liable statistics on the subject known
to the Washington doctor are to the
effect that in America up to 25 years
ago only 2 per cent Of the people were
left handed. This statement has been
allowed to run along without ques-
ton, but the Washington observer
thinks that it is now far from correct.
His estimate is 6 per cent. In the
Misunderstanding school in Washington
that per cent. Of the boys is left hand
ed, and like proportion was found
among the girls in q sewing-school.

teams are so many that they attract

doctor concludes, "that eft-handed-

race, and a Chinese loundryman tells
