both houses of congress. In the senate
Mr.. Nelson, addressing the senate
committee on comm cree. made strong
and convincing argument in favor OF
the proposition. He traced the steady
expansion of the cabinet machinery
from FIVE to eight distinct divisions,
and proceeded to show how the duties
of the treasury department, which now
has charge of all matters of com merce,
had multiplied beyond the powers of
the secretary to look after them.
Senator Nelson dwelt upon the ne
cessity for special recognition Of the
manufacturing interest with view to
the extension of our foreign trade, and
declared that the country's industrial
and business development imperatively
demanded representation in the cabi-
net. Perhaps the most convincing
reason which Senator Nelson could
have cited in advocacy of the new de-
partment, points out the Baltimore
Herald, is to be found in the fact that
the great trading nations of
Europe years ago recognized the i'm
portance of paying close at
tention to commercial mat
tiers, and of making the acquisition OF
new market as we'll as the reten tion
of old ones, together with such other
measures as are calculated to foster
business activity. the special care of

and wide grasp of the subject. The
wisdom of this step is manifestly ap-
parent in the gains made by Germany,

AN AMERICAN "OOM PAUL

It appears from a study of the early
history of New York City that a name
sake of Presidents Kruger played an
important part in our atiOnal history
about two hundred years ago. The
American Kruger spelled his name
with G., but the two patronymics are
q contraction of the Latin ''Cruciger,''
q cross-beerer, and il is possible that
the same blood moved the heart of the
American Cruger that now moves the
heart of the South African Kruger.
The name first appears in the records
of New York City in 1893. John Cru
ger was then prosp erous merchant of
the city and subsequently became N ayor
and died in 1744, after paving the way
for the more conspicuous political career
of his son, JohE Cruger, Jr.
The latter was a member of the gen
ersl assembly in 1859, and of the long
assembly from 1851 to 1858, the first
member of the New York chamber of
commerce and one of the first mer-
chants who signed the non-importasion
agreement: but more than this, he was
mayor of New York city on that event

Mayor Cruger it was who, at the
head of that municipal body which
represented the people," called in per-
son at the government headquarters,
and it was under the pressure of his
urgent request and his solemn warning
of imminent danger that Golden, in the
presence of General Gage, gave his
promise that the stamps should be de-
Hvered into the custody of the city au-
thorities.

Washington, April 10.-The senate
committee on privileges and elections
decided, by Il unanimous vote, to rec
ommend the adoption of a resolution
declaring that Hon.. W. A. Clark, OF
Montana, is not entitled to occupy his
seat as a senator from Montana. The
decision was reached after Il two
hCul.' sitting, at which all the mem
bers of the committee were present,
except one. The absentee was Sena-
tori Gallery, of Louisiana, and he
wired his vote in opposition to MI.
Clark.
The ballot was not taken until all
the members present had expressed
themselves upon the question. some OF
them speaking at some length and all
expressing different shades OF opin-
| ion
Senator Harris. of Kansas, indicat-
ed the most pronounced leaning to-
ward leniency for Mr.. Clark. He did
not express any doubt that there had
been 2 lavish expenditure OF money in
Mr.. Clark's behalf, and while not
condoning this course, he spoke i'll
terms of strong condemnation of the
tactics pursued by some of his
(Ciark's) opponents, referring espec-
cially TO Congressman, Campbell and
former State Senator Whiteside. He
said that whatever Mr.. Clark's Of
~fenses, they were but little worse than
the methods pursued by Campbell and
Whiteside in their efforts to expose
the senator, and he insisted that if the
report was to be antagonistic to Mr..
Clark it should at the same time re-
late in full detail the course pursued
by the two principal witnesses against
him.
Senator Pcttus practically agreed
with Mr.. Harris The two senators
also expressed doubts as to the JUS
tiiication of the conclusion drawn by
Il majority of the committee, that Sem
ator Clark's condidacy for the senate
began i'll August, 1898. when he re-
turned to Butte trcm New York. The
effect Of this conclusion was to charge
up the entire S139. 600, which, Senator
Clark confessed to having expended,
t. his campaign for the seEats. while
the contention was made in Senator
Clark's behalf that he had not become
a candidate until after the state cleo
ton, thus eliminating from the cam-
raign in his individual behalf the
amount spent in the general contest.
Senator McCcmas was among the
senators who expressed himself us con-
WINGED that the senatorial seat was in
view frcm the beginning. Mr.. Me-
Comas. however, united with ether
senator's in condemning the methods
pursued in prosecuting the case.
The consensus of opinion of the coDI-
mittce appeared unfavorable TO ac-
cepting any n special feature
against Mr.. Clark as the basis Tor the
report against him. the general npin-
len being that it was the cumulative
character of the testimony that should
be considered, rather han any one spe-
cial detail.
