DISCUSS IMPORTANT MATTERS
Chamber of Commerce Took Up New
Business Last Night.

Aside from large amount OF routine
business the chamber OF commerce at
their regular meeting last night took
up considerable new business.
Owing to the Illness OF Mr.. Bowlby,
chairman OF the committee In charge.
Mr.. Hearst OF the New York Journal
will be obliged TO wait couple OF
weeks longer for q reply TO his Near
aqua canal armament proposition.
Correspondence was introduced rela-
two to the improvement OF the har-
Dor and the removal Of the wreck of
the Silva de Grasse, for which the
United States government recently ap-
propriated $4,000 1t appears that
after the appropriation was made. an
engineer made a report to the govern
ment that the removal of the wreck
was unnecessary and a great deal Of
the matter had to be all talked
and written over again. 1t Is believed,
however, that through the efforts Of
the chamber of commerce the work for
which the appropriation was made will
soon be commenced.
A letter was received from the Phil
adelphia museum, asking that the
chamber request its representatives in
congress to favor q bill now pending
apropriatlng 100000 for the enlarge
ment of the museum and the collection
of products from our new insular pos
sessions to be placed on permanent
exhibition.
Another communication was sub
mitted from the Interstate commerce
commission asking that the influence of
the chamber be brought to bear in be-
half of a bill pending in congress, the
object of which Is TO enlarge its scope
of power. II appears that the COM
mission for ten years worked under a
certain clause enabling them to read
just transportation rates on the rail-
roads where the companies tariffs were
unequal and unjust. This clause was
finally declared by the United states
supreme court to be unconstitutional
and the commission is endeavoring TO
have substitute that will hold water
enacted into law.

The eighth week Of the revival meet

hardly expected. that none will back
slide; but anyone who will throw a
straw in their way, or discourage them
in the least, is unworthy the conte-
nance Of good people. Religious belief
is the holiest and most valuable of all
the liberties priced by human beings,
and should not be made light of or
sneered at, and Is not except by those
who are thoughtless, or so depraved
that they can see nothing good In any
one else.

Mr.. Clark, while Senators Pettus, Har-
ris and McComas take the position that
as there was no proof connecting Mr.
Clark with the alleged approaches TO
the court, this testimony should not be
used as desired by the majority.
Differences OF Opinion.
There is an effort in progress to adj
just these differences of opinion, but if
this is found impracticable the three
senators mentioned will, while agree
ms in the general verdict, express dis
Senting views on this point There is
also a possibility Of dissent upon the
methods Of Campbell and Whiteside In
no event will there be any division as
to the recommendation that the seat
occupied by Mr.. Clark shall be de-
clared vacant.
The parts of the report upon which
there viii be unanimity of opinion are
those dealing with the general charges
against Mr.. Clark General stress is
laid upon the testimony concerning the
business dealings with members of the
legislature such as Mclaughlin, War
ner and others and the present to Mr..
Day and to the acknowledged use of
large sums of money. Considerable at
tention is given TO the fact that Sena-
tor Clark'S committee disregarded the
laws of the state in falling to make re-
ports of expenditures in the campaign.
In the matter of the Whites.de ex-
posures including his handing over to
the state $4,000 alleged to have been
paid by Clarks friends for votes, there
is a frank avowal Of difference of opin-
ion. The incident is therefore related

its bearing on the results

LAST DAY OF CONGRESS.
Adjourns to Meet at Cripple Greek,
Colo. Next Year.

Houston, Tex, April 20.-The eleventh
annual session of the Trans Mississippi
Commercial congress adjourned this
afternoon, to meet next year in Grip
pie Greek, Colo. The important bust
ness today was the adoption Of a plan
for the organization Of the congress on
a permanent basis; the endorsement of
the st. Louis exposition. and the ap-
pOintment of a committee TO represent
the congress in the hearing of the St
Louis fair bill, in committee, next Sat
urday. and the adoption Of a resolution
calling for the immediate passage of
ore of the Nicaragua canal bills now
pending before the national congress.
The personnel of me st. Louis fair COM
mittee was left to the executive COM
mittee, and viii not be announced for
some days.
4 committee os three was appointed
TO visit tie irrigation congress, which
meets in Chicago in November, to in
vite said irrigation congress to become
a member of the Trans Mississippi con-
gress.
The executive committee reported a
plan for a permanent organization,
which was adopted. Under this plan
the following officers, in addition to
those already elected. were named:
Chairman Of the executive commit
tee, Z. r. Moses of Great Bend, Kan;
vice chairman, A. S. GOetz of Carls-
bad, n. NJ; secretary, Robert c. Morris
of New Orleans; trea George +.
Harrison, jr.. of Glasgow, Mo.
After the adoption Of perfunctory res
olutions, the congress adjourned sine
die.

Washington. April 20.-It was in
tended to hold a meeting of the senate
committee on privileges and elections
today to consider the report of the
committee in the case of Senator Clark
of Montana, but owing TO the recent
changes made in the text it was found
impossible to prepare it for preSenta-
ton today. 1t now seems probable that
no meeting viii be held before Mon
day.
This postponement will render 1t
practically impossible to dispose of the
case in the senate before the vote is
taken in the Quay case as some sena-
tors had expressed a desire TO have
done, but there is a general understand
ing about the senate that all questions
on this point will be settled by Sena-
tor Ciark's refraining from voting in
the Quay case.
The principal difficulty in agreeing
upon a report is found in the treatment
of the episode connecting the Montana
supreme court with the Clark contest.
There are also some differences as to
the methods of treating Congressman
Campbelps and ex-State Senator
Whiteside's connection with the case.
The majority of the committee is dis
posed to use the testimony concerning
the state court as strongly corrobo
