Been Reached.

ST. Louis. May 16.--Negotiations to
settle the strike came to an abrupt end
at the conference Thursday afternoon
between the Transit company, the
strikers and the committee of business
men. 1t now seems fight to finish,
as neither party to the strike will re-
cede from the vital point involved in
reference to the discharge of the nom
union men who took the places of the
strikers. The men demand that they
be reinstated in their former places
and the nonunion employees be given a
back seat on the waiting list. This
proposition the company refuses to con.
slider.
ST. Louis. May 19.-Rioting broke out
afresh in every portion of the city yes
terday and the police records show
that many persons were hurt. two of
them fatally, as result of the strug-
gle between the striking street railway
employees and their employers. The
number of wounded during the day is
seven.

DEWEY'S CANDIDACY.
His Wife Now Said to Oppose 1t, But
the Admiral Has Not Yet Adam
dOned the Idea.

New York, May 1s.-A dispatch from
Washington to the World says: In
innate friends of Mrs. Dewey assert
that she has materially changed her
political views since she and the ad-
miral started on their western and
southern trip. Since her return she
has said she hopes that her husband
will reconsider his intention to enter
public life.
II would not have him president -
she said Thursday to an intimate
friend, "even if it were in my power.
1 feel that the strain would prove dis
astrous to his health, and it would GER
tainly interfere with the happiness
which we are now enjoying"
The admiral. however. does not seem
to agree with his wife entirely. Prep
arations for stirring events are in prog
ress at Beauvoir. 1t is expected that
news of Importance will soon be an
nounced-either his withdrawal from
the candidacy or the statement of the
political creed by which he hopes to win
converts to his cause.

ISSUES A CLARK CUSTER.
Gov. Smith, of Montana, Revokes
His Appointment as Senator
and Names Successor.
MARTIN MAGlAAIs GIVEN VACANT SEAT.
The Executive Gives as His Reasons
for His Action That the Proceed
ings of the Lieutenant Governor
Are Tainted by Collision and
Fraud-Senate Has Protest.

Butte, Mont, May 19.-Gov. Smith
on Friday sent dispatches from here
to Senator w. A. Clark, Senator
Chandler, chairman of the committee
on privileges and elections, and Sen
ator Frye, president of the senate,
saying he had disregarded and re-
voked the action of Lieut. Gov.
Spriggs in naming Mr.. Clark to sue
coed to the vacancy caused by his own
resignation; and saying he had
named Martin Maginnis, of Helena. to
fill the vacancy. The governor gives
as his reasons his opinion that the
appointment of Mr.. Clark by the lieu
tenant governor was tainted by col
fusion and fraud. The dispatches are
practically the same, that of Mr..
Clark reading:
81 have this day disregarded and revoked
your appointment as United States senator
made by Gov Spriggs on the 18th inst, as
being tainted with collision and fraud, and
have this day appointed Hon. Martin Ma
ginnis United States senator to fill the
vacancy caused by your resignation"
Action by the Senate.
Washington, May 19.-The senate
committee on privileges and elections
has directed Chairman Chandler to
press action on the Clark resolution as
originally reported.
Gov. Smith Enters Protest.
The following dispatch was received
and read to the committee from Gov.
Smith, dated Butte. Mont. May II:
"Hon. w. E. Chandler. Washington:
desire to present in as forcible manner
as possible my protest against the course
pursued by Hon. w. A. Clark in attempt
ing to defeat the action of the senate of
the United States upon the resolution pre-
scented by the committee on privileges and
elections affecting his title to a seat and
to protest against the methods pursued by
him in securing an appointment at the
hands of the lieutenant governor during
my absence from the state under circum-
stances and conditions which to my mind
indicate collision and fraud.
His conduct in attempting a resigna ton
and procuring reappointment under the
conditions as he did. if the matter was
before court of justice. would have been
considered contempt of court on his part.
I, therefore, trust that the committee and
the senate will proceed to proper and
complete consideration of the question. so
that the rights. not only of Mr.. Clark. but of
the state of Montana, in the premises may
be determined, and that upon the presen-
tation of the credentials of appointment by
the lieutenant governor, the same be trans
ferred to the committee on privileges and
elections for investigation and that be
permitted to make more complete and
detailed statement of facts concerning the
resignation and appointment of Mr.. Clark. -
