VIII Answer Clark Witness Excuse For
Offering Bride be-Ciark on
the Stand.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l0.-Senator Clark,
OF Montana, was again the star witness
before tho senate committee on privi
leges and elections,
DR.. Treacy, Justice Hunts family
physician, made statement concerning
his interviews with Justice Hunt, which
oorroborated 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 could
get for having the Welcome disbarment
case thrown out of the state supreme
court. He said that 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 bribe suggested, and had been
promised none for TINT purpose.
Mr.. Clark necessarily went over much
of the ground covered by him in his tes-
timony Saturday. He was cross-exam-
ined by Mr.. Campbell, and insisted that
he had spent no money for corrupt pur-
poses during the Montana senatorial
campaign. He gave detailed state
ment OF expenditures for political pur.
poses during the legislative and sena-
torial contests, which footed up, as Sen.
ator Turley announced, to $lS0,000. He
declared that his only purpose in enter
ing upon tho campaign was tho over.

LONDON, Feb. 20.-The war office an.
nounced that it had nothing further for
publication from South Africa.
In the lobbies Of the house of com.
mons, however, it was rumored that
General Cronje's army was surrounded,
that General French had got between
the Boer forces and Bloemfontein and
that he was only awaiting reinforce.
ments to close IN on the enemy.
No confirmation of this rumor was
obtainable although the general idea
vas that the go'ac--:s;;i;sat had received
important dispatches.
LONDON, Feb. 20.---A member Of the
cabinet told II. w. Lucy that the war
oifice had received telegram announc.
ing that General Cronje is hopelessly

General Kitchener is trying to outmarcl,
and outfiank the Beers, thus checking
their retreat, if possible, and driving
them back into the hands'of Macdonald
and French.
The war Office message communicated
to Mr.. Lucy seems to indicate that Lord
Kitchener has either got ahead OF tho
Beers or Is about to realize his plan, and
that the war Office awaits a decisive re.
