STORM AT PEACE CONGRESS

most Indulge In Alterations.
PARIS, Aug. Am unpleasant split in
the er-parliamentary congress for
peace arbitration was narrowly avoided
at today's session. NJ Dorand speaking
Of the Importance Of The Hague confer
ence, protested against the war in the
Transvaal and expressed establishment
that the request for arbitration made by
the South African republics had not
found an echo in Europe
Lord Stanhope, one Of the English del
egates, in reply said that friends Of peace
In his country had done everything posi-
be impossible for representatives Of Eng
land to participate IN q discussion i'm
plying the least blame Of England.
The presiding officer turned aside the
approaching storm by calling for a vote
on the following resolution which was
adopted as follows:
The congress, acting on The Hague res
olutions, expresses its gratitude to those
contributing to the results In the firm
hope that the powers will not neglect
in the future to utilize the means at
their disposal for the appeasement OF inz
ternational conflicts and its regret that
they have not been able to do so. Ao-
tual war in the TransVaal calls the atten-
ton Of the various delegates to the duty
devolving upon them to call the atten-
ton of their respective governments to
the obligations the powers contracted in
giving adhesion to The Hague resolu-
TONS"

UNFOLDING THE CHARTER.

The decision of the supreme court sus-
tanning the validity Of the new charter
has long been anticipated by the people.
When 1t was decided to rest the claims
OF the discharged police officials on the
question Of the validity Of the charter a.
direct challenge was made of the right of
the people through the legislature to pro-
vide for the government of their munich
palities. The thirst for office which will
go the length Of endangering the existing
system Of organic law is deep indeed. Had
Getchell and his friends prevailed, we
would be restored to our former position
under the Bell charter, and all the money
and trouble expended in the effort to en-
able the people of st. Paul to select the
system Of charter legislation which best
suits them would have passed for naught
The court rests its decision on the broad
principle Of public policy which IS
involved. It takes cognizance of
the embarrassing position in which
all cities were placed under the
provision of the constitution directed
against special legislation. Such stu
alton is contrary to all true public policy
and for years represented practically in
sufferable position for this city. That the
people had the right to bring such state
of things to an end goes without saying.
To insist, as Getchell and McIntire did,
that the effective doing of that thing
ought to be made to rest on legal cub
BILE such as is involved is to ignore the
first principle OF representative govern
ment.
While the court thus rests its decision
on the broad ground that the people of st.
Paul possessed the right under the law
and constitution to provide themselves
with a proper charter and that no more
legal technicalities shall be allowed to
stand in their way in the effort to exer-
else that right, 1t is especially gratifying
to observe that the other contention. that
the charter itself perpetuated Getchell
end the rest of the proven incompetents
In office, is declared by the court to be
without foundation. The contention was
put forward that Getchell and the rest
could only be removed after charges had

by Bribins Legislators to Support His
Candidacy For tho Senate The Conn
mittec's Report.
(By Telegraph to virginian -pilo..)

-
Washington, April Ex-senator Chand-
der. from the Senate Committee on
Privileges and Elections. to-day sub
United TO the Senate the report of the
committee in the case OF Senator Clark,
of Montana. The report is compare
lively brief. covering fifteen pages OF
printed matter. 1t does not rchcarse
the testimony. but simply presents the
findings of the committees and its rea-
sons for it's course. The finding OF the
ccmmittcc is stated as follows:
ELECTION IS VOID.
The finding OF the committee is that
the election TO the Senate OF William
~ Clark. OF Montana. is null and void,
on account OF briber.cs. attempted bril-
berries and corrupt practice By his
agents. and OF violation of the laws OF
Montana defining and Furnishing crimes
against elective franchise"
In view of this finding the committee
reports and unanimously recommend
the adoption by the Senate of the fol-
lowing resolution.
Resolved. That William A. Clark
was not duly and legally elected TO a
seat in the Senate of the United States
by the Legislature of the State of Mon
tana."
Inc report concludes with n strong
recommendation for early consideration
OF the case. us follows:
EARLY ACTION.
The Senate should AS a duty to it
self and to the country, demonstrate
by its action in this case that seats in
the United states Senate procured as
Senator Clark's has been procured.
cannot be retained by the deliberate
judgment of the Senate.
The Senate also owes q duty to the
people of Montana, who. conscious of
the bad reputc into which the State
had fallen by reason of vast expendi-
lures of money in connection with its
elections, manifested such a public SEN
timent that the Legislature of 1895
passed statute which, if obcycd
would have redeemed the State from
Its bad name. For the direct and gross
violations of that statute and the con-
sequent 'discredit which continues to
rest upon the State, Montana has n
right TO expect prompt and decisive
remedy from the action of the Senate
upon the report of this committee"
