EMPRESS CARLOTTA'S FLOWER.

When the Archduke Maximilian of Austria with his beautiful wife Car lotta accepted the Empire of Mexico both made elaborate preparations in order to lend dignity to their new life in the new world. Carlotta decided that some order of Enighthood must be instituted, so that those who served them well and faithfully might be re warded. She decided that the color of the ribbon of the order must be red. But Napoleon objected, saying that that the ribbon of the Legion of Honor was red and must not be copied. The CarlOtta enclosed q poppy petal in q letter to Louis Ma poleon reminding him that the Order of Nature was ahead of the Legion of Honor, and the poppy was her favorite flower. aFtal significance of a fatal flower Maximilian's and Louis Ma
 poleons empires are alike in the dust, and to the bitterest end did they dress their wierd. Burns's lines were for them most fittingly appropriate. On happy, light-hearted Carlotta such ob- livion. sadder than death. has fallen as makes all who pity her pray that ere long the poppies of sleep may bind her brows. and her weary eyes close to open only on a new world. where con querors and tyrants have become the nquered.-Philadelpn Ledger.

NO WATER TONIGHT. The City Water Will Not Run for Sev-

The city water will be shut off at 10 o'clock tonight until o'clock to- morrow morning and this order will be carried out until further notice. Some people may not like this, but the public good demands it, and so long as that is so. no one should grumole about the inconvenience. Arrange ments will be made whereby there will be no hitch between the fire and water departments in case fire should break out during the night time. Many believe that the water should be shut of in all barns and stables and the washing of carriages and other vehl- cles with city water stopped for the present.

SENATOR CLARK RESIGNS.
His Sudden Action Caused IA Big
Sensation.

WASHINGTON, May ia sensation
was sprung in the senate today soon
after the body convened. Scarcely had
the routine business been concluded
when Mr.. Clark CNont.) rose and ad-
dressed the chair on question Of priv
nege, personal to himself. Mr.. Clark
said:
1T has not been my purpose to disturb
the recognized traditions of this most
honorable body by intruding my opin-
ions upon any questions that might arise
for consideration during the present ses-
sion; but the question called up today
for discussion so vitally concerns my
own interests, and the interests of the
great state which [ have the honor in
part to represent, that I shall ask the In
dulgence of the senate while l, as briefly
as possible, submit some remarks re-
ferring first, to the character of the in
vestigation; second, to the majority re-
port of the honorable committee on priv
ileges and elections, which has submit
ted findings adverse TO the retention of
my seat in the senate; third, to the con-
ditions existing in the state of Montana
for a number of years prior to my cleo
ton, which justify my political actions;
and, lastly, statement as to the course
deem best to pursue in the premises.
'It is not my desire TO cast any asper-
sions upon the motives which actuated
the distinguished senators composing the
committee. and yet, with the most re-
spectful consideration for the learning,
legal ability and eminent standing Of
these gentlemen, am forced to the con-
clusiCn, which believe meets with the
concurrence of not only a large number
Of senators on both sides Of this cham
Der, but also of 50 per cent of my con-
stituency in the state of Montana, re-
gardless of political affiliations, methods
Of procedure in the investigation of this
matter were manlfestly unfair non-judi
cial, and that they resulted in verdict
of the committee entirely opposite TO
that which would have occurred should
the evidence have been confined to that
which was admissible and pertinent to
the issue.
Il contend that an investigation inTcN
ing a seat in the highest legislative body
of this nation, as well as the honor OF
an Individual chosen for that position
by the people of one of the soverei ign
states thereof, should be conducted in
strictly judicial manner, and that in the
proceedings the established rules of evil
dence should be applied. 1t is well known
to every body that this was not the case.
1t is true that there was a strong effort
made by the honorable senators from AL
ALBANIA, Maryland. Kansas and North
Carolina, at the beginning Of the investi
CATION, to exclude all the irrelevant tes-
timony, but their efforts were unavailing.

Appointed by Acting Governor Sprggs, of
Montana, to Fill Vacancy Caused
by His Resignation.
Senators Are Divided in Opinion as to the
Effect the Appointment Will Have Upon
the Case Against Mr.. Clark.

HELENA, Mont, May 15.-Acting Gov.
Spriggs tonight appointed w. A. Clark,
of Butte, United States senator to serve
until the next legislature shall elect his
successor.
Senator Clark's resignation was filed
early in the day, with the governor, and
tonight he was appointed by Gov. Spriggs
to succeed himself
Mr.. Clarks reasons for resignfne are
fully set forth in the speech he delivered
today, in the senate. Gov. Spriggs has
all along been a friend of Senator Clark,
during his candidacy for the senatorship
and since, although he preserved the ut
most impartialIty in his office as lieuten-
ant-governor and president of the senate
during the senatorial campaign.
Gov. Smith, partisan of the Daily peo
pie, left the state two weeks ago, fol
California, to attend to some mining
cases in which he is retained as attorney.
At that time there was no thought Of
Senator Clark resigning, and his enemies
were confident he would be unseated by
the United States senate. The resigna-
tion filed today came as a surprise to the
people Of the state, who had no inklfng OF
the coup prepared.
During the day Gov. Spriggs received a
great many kilograms from all over tha
state, urging him to appoint Senator
Clark, alleging that he was the real
choice of a large majority of the Demo-
Gratis and a large proportion of the Re,
publicans as well
Gov. spriggs was besieged all day by
individuals and by delegations friendly
and hostile to Mr.. Clark

That Is the Assertion Made Through Boer
Sources, Claim Emanating From the
Transvaal Capital
British Doubt It. but Admit That There Has
Been Heavy Fighting at Mafeking,
Which Is Said to Have Fallen

LONDON, May ia dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Lourenzo Marques, dated
Tuesday, says:
There IS now no doubt that there was
desperate fighting at NIafeking, but it is
understood to have gone in favor of the
garrison. All that can be ascertained of
a reliable character IS as follows: The
Beers, using artillery, attacked the town
on Saturday. Very soon the Kaffir loca-
tion was in flames, this being the result
of the shell fire, or the result of treach-
cry. Fighting at close quarters became
general, and in the confusion the Beers
gained possession fthe Kaff1r location
from which point Of vantage they brought
guns to bear on the town at close range
By an adroit movement the garrison, de-
spite its attenuated numbers, succeeded
n actually surrounding the party of Beers
who had captured the Kafir location. Sc
we're fighting followed, but, according to
the latest reports. the Beers still hold the
location, in which they are probably sur
rounded.
THE truth is, I believe. that the Pre-
tora authorities, knowing of the progress
of the relief column, gave orders to Gen.
Snyman to storm the place. AS soon as
the location was in flames Boer bulletins
Of victory were flying about to encourage
the Weakened burghers. Beers who
came down here yesterday from Pretoria
produced for the edification of incredJ-
lous Briushers two kilograms by officers,

are hot The Free staters are surren-
dering in larger numbers than after the
occupation of Bloemfontein. One officer
of the Transvaal artillery said:
There will be no serious fighting this
side of Pretoria, as Bereeniging, on the
Vaal, is indefensible. Heavy guns are
being mounted at Pretoria, but Gems.
Botha and Limmar are agreed that ulti-
mate success is impossible. President
Kruger is obstinate and a majority of
the Transvaalers hold firmly with him.
1t is fntimated that the TransvaaI can
still muster 30, 900 men on the fighting line.
ROBERTS DIRECTS.
Gen. Buffers advance, as his kilograms
indicate, was by the instructions of Lord
Roberts, and it will cease or go forward
as Lord Roberts may direct. Certain com
mentators affiliated with the war Office
say that Gen. Buffers orders to keep the
Beers employed have been supplemented
by an order to drive them completely out
of Natal, and then move on Harrism;th

TO-" Is the latest official word
from Col. Baden-Powel, the Britinh COM
mander at Mafeking, sent to Lord Rob
erts, under date of May Z. Five days
later the Beers attempted to storm the
town, and it is possible that they sue
ceeded, although nothing is known of its
failure or success, except through Boer
sources, which have no countenance mere.
The British relief column is due there
now. Ten days ago Gen. Snyman was
having difficulty in keeping the burghers
together, owing to the approach of the
British, and when the last Associated
Press dispatch left Mafeking May Z, the
Beers had killed, on the previous day,
one of the horse guards and captured
several of Baden-Powelrs few remaining
horses. Mai. J. NJ Baillie has sent to
the Morning Post from Mafeking, under
date of May Z. this message:
