Frik Will Sell Out.

New York, April 11.-A special to the
Tribune from Pittsburg says: III. c.
Frick Will dispose of all his holdings
something over $4,000, ,000-in the Car
negie company, just as soon as he can,"
said a big stockholder of the Carnegie
company. "He won what he contended
for and will not remain to hamper Mr..
Carnegie or his partners
1t is said that Mr.. Frick and President
Schwab are not on pleasant terms and
this has done much toward keeping
Messrs Frick and Carnegie apart.
officials of the Carnegie company deny
that there is any truth in the report that
the company will take in the Cramps
concern. either in part or in whole, or
that any selling arrangement has been
made whereby armor plates and struc-
tural material will be supplied the
Cramps by the Carnegie company.

Gen. Nolan Differs.

Attorney General Nolan when asked
the same question as the governor, said
he did not think the decisions of the SEN
ate in the Corbett, the Mantle, or what
might be decided in the Quay case, would
have any bearing upon the case in point.
II think" said he, that vacancy will
clearly exist under the constitutional pro-
vision (provided of course Clark is un-
seated), which would warrant the gov
ernor to appoint. The case is not akin
to the Corbett, Mantle or even the pros
pective Quay case, SO far as I can see.
The doctrine in the Mantle and Corbett
cases was that the state lost a senator
because the legislature had failed to
perform it's duty, in other words
had not acted. In this case the legisla-
ture acted, but acted corruptly OF
course, if Mr.. Clark resigns, that settles
it, The governor can legally appoint
And in either event he can call the legis-
lature together in extraordinary session
to elect senator if he sees fit

sylvania under the same conditions as
Mantle was appointed.
In other words, if the senate should
seat Quay, then the governor of Mon
tana could appoint successor to Clark,
and he would be seated.
If Senator Clark should resign, not
waiting for the action of the senate the
situation would again be changed. In
that event the governor would have the
unquestionable right to appoint, as res
ignation" is one of the means of giving
rise to vacancy which the constitution
specifically mentions, and about which
there is no dispute as to the governors
right to fill by appointment.
The latest advices are that the case
will be contested to finish on the floor
of the senate.

Governor Has Doubts.

Special to the Inter Mountain.
Helena, April 11.-Nothing else but the
senate committees decision in the Clark
case is talked about here. Clark sup
porters here claim there is no doubt that
if Clark loses his seat he will come back
for reelection.
The question of whether the governor
should appoint in case Clark did not re-
sign and the senate declared there had
been no election, is subject to a differ
ence of opinion.
Governor Smith, when seen today and
asked if he thought an appointee of his,
sent to Washington, in the event that
Mr.. Clark was unseated and did not re-
sign, would be seated, said that he would
have to know the nature Of the report
the committee would make before an
swering the question intelligently.
IF the committee reports there was
no election, and the senate sustains
that" said the governor, II have my
doubts about an appointment I might
make being sustained by the senate, un-
less of course, the senate votes to seat
Quay. If the senate votes the election
was void on account of fraud, that would
raise a question that so far as know
was never before the senate before The
Mantle and the Corbett cases would not
obtain"
I'm the event that Senator Clark loses
his seat either by resignation or the ac-
tion of the senate, is there any possibil-
ity governor, of your calling the Sixth
Legislative session together in extraordi-
n R1pctino
a senator to fill out Mr.. Clark's unexpir-
ed term?".
"Nor, SIR such an idea is absurd You
are at liberty to quote me as saying that
I never would call that Legislature to-
gether again under any circumstances"
The emphatic manner in which the gov
ernor expressed himself disposed of any
doubts that might exist on that point.

PORTO R|CAN
BILL To PASS

Washington, April 11.-At IL o'clock to-
day the house committee on rules as
sembled in Speaker Henderson's private
office and settled the days programme
for the final contest over the Porto
Rican bill. The final vote was fixed for
o'clock this afternoon. Early in the day
party managers We're exerting their ut
| most endeavors to assemble a full vote
Measures adopted for this purpose were
almost unprecedented in their thorough
nesss. After the house had assembled
the rules on the Porto Rican bill were
adopted by vote of 15S to 142. This in
dicates the passage of the bill.
Washington April 1.-THE closing
struggle over the Porto Rican tariff bill,
set for today, attracted great crowds to
the galleries; and all preparations indi-
| Gated a field day replete with exciting in
cidents.
The excitement was at high pitch
pitch when the speakers gavel fell at
noon. Soon after the reading of the
| journal was concluded Dalzell, member
, of the committee on rules, presented a
! special order under which the house was
| to operate today. Upon demand of Dali
| zell the previous question on the adOp-
| tion of rules was ordered. This gave 20
minutes for debate on each side.
Dalzall said he would discuss the rule
briefly. Amendments attached by the
: senate he said, furnished a civil govern
ment for the islands. 1t was on open
be cOncurred in. There had been enough
discussion on the subject. What the
country desired was not debate, but ac-
ton. Richardson, minority leader, called
attention to the fact that the rule would
permit the house to vote only upon a
single proposition. If it had been pos
sible for the senate to add equity to the
original bill levying Is per cent of Ding
ley duties on goods going into Porto Rico,
he said 1t had done so in the so-called
| civil government amendment. Under
| guise tf the civil government the senate,
! he said. had imposed imperialistic gov
ernment upon the people of the islands.
He asserted it was never the intention of
the republicans Of the house in the first
! instance to enact any such measure. He
quoted President Mckinley Secretary
Root. ex-President Harrison, ex-Speaker
Reed and other republicans of national
reputation in favor of free trade with the
islands and drew salvO of applause
from slis democratic colleagues by char
acteriZing the president in the language
of ex-Speaker Reed as 1.-The Emperor of
, ExpeLiency."
Why. Richardson asked, had president,
secretary of war and republican party
changed front upon this whole question
For reply he read a statement of Prof.
Schurmann Of the Philippine commission,
THAT trusts had gone down to Wash
ington and 1t had grasped the republican
party by the throat"
| He also recalled a statement printed Il
short time ago in a local newspaper that
a republican member of the house had
said that in return for the passage of the
! bill a large contribution was to be made

London, April 11.-Lord Roberts wires
to the war Office from Bloemfontein,
April 10, as follows:
1.-The enemy have been very active dur.
ing the past few days. One commando is
now on the north bank of the Orange
river, not far from Aliwal North, while
another is attacking Wepener. The
garrison there is holding out bravely and
inflicting serious loss on the Beers.
Major Syringe, of the Cape Mounted
Rifles. was killed. No other casualties
have been reported as yet.
The troops are being moved up rapidly.
A patrol of seven men of the 7th dragons
under Lieutenant Letherby, who has
been reported missing since April I, has
returned safely.
AS the foregoing dispatch does not
mention the alleged British reverse on
Saturday at Meerkatsfontein, the Boer
kilograms are not credited at the war
Office.

Ladysmith, Tuesday. April n-The
Beers opened fire early this morning,
sending shells into the British camp at
Elandslaagat from three positions, wide
ly separated.
The shells did no damage. The troops
moved out to reconnoiter and found the
Beers in strong force and well fortified.
One naval AZ inch gun replied to the
Beers, who have again placed Long
Tom in position. When the Beers COM
menced shelling the British We're drilling
and one private was killed and another
was wounded before the soldiers were
withdrawn out of range. The naval bri-
gade then opened fire and drew heavy
Boer fusilade and two of the cruiser
Philomel's gunners We're killed. The
naval men stuck to their positions, how
ever, and the Beers unmasked six guns,
including hundred FOUNDER, and shells
fell in the British camps.
After three hours bombardment the
British fire slackened and the Burghers
cleared the kopje on the right, when the
British fell on spot occupied by their gun.
Another commando was seen moving
toward the British apparently with the
intention of flanking them but British
shells forced them back.

brigade again fired few shells. 1t is
