Clark, the Committee Says, Paid Too Much
for His Toga.

for HIS IOga.
Washington, April 1.-THE unani-
nous report of the committee on privi-
leges and elections recommending the
unseating Of Senator W. A. Clark, Of
Montana, was the chief subjectOf COM
ment at the capitol yesterday. This is
generally interpreted to mean that an
early vote will be taken on his case
and that he will be unseated. That
the senate without hearing the evil
deHce or going into the subject should
go against a unanimous committee re-
port is not regarded within the
range of possibilities. That Senator
Clark may resign before the case is
voted on is regarded as highly prob
able. If there had been a minority re-
port in his favor Clark was prepared
to put up a stiff fight in the senate.
The attempt to bride the supreme
court of Montana to dismiss the Well
come disbarment proceedings is said to
have proved his Waterloo. The COM
mittee was impressed with the testi-
mony Of Justices Piggott and Hunt,
and were morally certain that Clark S
agents had offered them 100000 apiece
to affect their decision. The evidence
taken before the committee showed to
a moral certainty that Clark had ex-
pended no less than $1,00O,0OO in the
first outlay to bride the Montana leg
islature.
Half as much again, it is said, was
used in the grand jury investigation
and the Welcome disbarment proceed
ings. Since then Clark has been at
enormous expense for attorneys fees
and the expense Of his hearing before
the committee, and conservative esti-
mates put the cost of his venture into
the sum of about $2,500,O0O. His in
come is estimated at 100000 a year.

Troops Necessary In the Islands.
Manila, April 9.-Reports Of encoun-
tiers between the American troops and
the insurgents continue to arrive from
many points. On Friday Captain
Sturgis, while accommodating, struck
an insurgent outpost on the NevalicheS
road FIVE miles distant from Manila,
killing two and capturing ten A de-
tachment of the Forty-second infantry

obliged to take refuge in church at

the rebels until reinforcements arrived.
Lieutenant Gordon, with company of
the Sixteenth infantry, while scouting
near Aparri, Cagayan province, en-
gagged $50 insurgents. Lieutenant Cor
don was wounded.
A sergeant and a corporal of COM
pany l, Eighteen infantry, were killed
in a severe fight in CapiZ province, ISL
and of Panay. The insurgents made a
night attack upon Calbayon, island Of
Samar. They killed the sentry,
swarmed into the town, and searched
the house Of Major Gilmore, of the
Forty-third infantry, who was absent.
They killed his cook. Ultimately the
Americans drove them out of the
town, killing four and capturing
twelve. The president of the town of
Samal, Luzon, and another prominent
native have been assassinated because
they were known to be friendly to the
Americans. The president of another
town has joined the insurgents be-
cause they had threatened to kill him

FUNSTON WAS TOO JEALOUS.
Talk of Court Martial for Him Because
of Hanging.

Manila, April 10.-An interesting
topic Of conversation in army circles
is the investigation of Brigadier Gen
eral Frederick Funstons execution OF
two Filipinos and the possibility of a
court-martial resulting therefrom. The
story is that the Filipinos captured
three Maccabebe scouts who were
crossing the country near San Isidro
and were preparing to kill them when
one Of the Maccabebes escaped and
found General Funston with a scout
ing party near.
This man guided the Americans to
the rescue Of his companions, and
when the troops approached the Fill
pinos fed, leaving the Maccabebes
Several of the Filipinos were shot,
ana General Funston captured two of
them, took them to the village square,
and hanged them without trial. as a
warning to the FilipinOs.

TO ELIMINATE CALVINIsM.
Move to That End Begins in the Presby
terrain Church.

Little Falls, n. Y, April 1.-THE
Utica presbytery, now in session in
this city, was thrown into a turmoil
yesterday by an address from Rev. DR..
Taylor, Of Clinton, formerly pastor Of
the Presbyterian church at Rome, who
advocated the elimination from the
confession of faith of paragraphs 1 to
of chapter 3. These paragraphs cov-
er the doctrine of election and reproba-
ton of which DR.. Hills, of Brooklyn,
resigned from the Chicago presbytery.
Rev. B. w. Brokaw, pastor of the
First Presbyterian church of Utica,
supplemented Tay1or's address by say
ing that the session Of his church had
passed resolutions favoring a change
in the Objectionable paragraphs. A
resolution to eliminate the paragraphs
was referred to the committee ON bills
and Overtures.
The committee reported later res
olution to the effect that the time was
not ripe for revision. This resolution
was rejected, and one adopted asking
the general assembly whether the time
has not come for revision of the doc
trinal Standards

Austin, Tex, April 9.-The following
is an estimate of the havoc done by
floods in this section Saturday: Lives
lost, 26; loss of Colorado river dam and
power house, 81, 100000; loss in other
sections OF the state, $3,00O,OOO.
Fully 10000 people gathered at the
dam and power house station yester-
day to witness the ruins Of the plant
The waters Of the Colorado river were
still plunging and fOaming around the
wreck, eating away the big pile Of
granite which once formed the dam as
though it was nothing more than chalk
rock. SO fierce was the current that
great bOulders were carried half a mile
from the dam, being rolled over and
over by the turbulent tide. The power
house, which Succumbed to the terrific
wash OF the water at o'clock yester
day morning, lies a mass of Wreckage
on the edge of the river all the Yalua-
BILE machinery either having been
thrown into the river or badly dam
aged by the falling timberS of the pow
er house.
Situation in the City Is Serious.
The wreck of the plant is complete.
The situation in the city is most seri-
Gus. The Wreckage of the plant means
that it Will take several weeks to secure

TEN, il it can be made possible even
then. In the meantime the city
will be in bad sanitary condition. All
the hotels private residences, stores
and the like are without water, and
there is no fire protection. Churches
were unable to hold services last night
for want of light, and all public meet
ingS were abandoned. The daily news
papers are handicapped in their publ
cations, being deprived of their electric
power. The river is now falling.
Whole Country Under Water.
Reports from the neighbOring coun-
try are to the effect that everything is
under water. In Williamson county,
north of here, railroad bridges and
trackage have been laid waste and all
trains have stopped running. Hundreds
of head Of cattle have been drowned
and miles of fencing torn down and
washed away. In Bastrop county and
in the southern portion of this coun-
ty similar conditions prevail, every
thing being under water and much loss
of property is reported.
Loss of Life Confined to Austin.
The country tributary to the Colora-
do river all the way down it's course is
being inundated, and while it is be-
ieved the worst is over the loss as es-
timated will exceed some $3,OOO,OOO

Department will issue, probably early
next week, instructions to postmasters
at all ports Of entry on the Pacific
Coast to submit all packages OF plants
and fruits from the Hawaiian and Phil
ippine Islands to the Boards Of Horti-
culture Of their respective states for
examination as to whether. they con-
tain insects known to prevail In those
Islands. The California Horticulture
Board recently requested that this &C
ton be taken to save the Pacific Coast
from the pests, which, it claims, would
do great damage.
