Formally Abandoned.

The project to build the New York,
Wyoming and Western Railroad from
the Lackawanna region to tidewater
was formally abandoned at meeting OF
the directors held at Scranton on Fri
day. This is the road originally planned
by the individual coal operators as a
means OF fighting the big carrying
companies. The granting of the IS
per cent demand is responsible for the
abandonment of the project. The 1000
tons OF rails distributed along the pro-
posed route two years ago are to be sold.

JEKYL AND HYDE.

1t is observed that Senator Platt, if all

THE QUAY CASE.

From the Philadelphia Inquirer Of Yesterday
If Quay is rejected, then the Senate
will serve notice that a handful of pc
ltical conspirators in any State in the
Union can bolt party nomination, and
by so doing can prevent the election OF
any Senator not named BY the conspira'
tors.
We do not believe that the Senate can
possibly reject Qnay, for to do SO would
be to pile up trouble in every state, to
smash popular rule, to place the seat 81
each individual Senator in jeopardy
when each Senator come mp for re cleo
tion, and to open the way for countless
vacancies.

THE DESIRE OF THE PEOPLE

From the Dover Index OF yesterday.
The overwhelmil e majority by which
the House Of Representative passed the
prodosed amendment to the federal con-
ttitution providing for the election OF
Senators by the direct vote Of the people,
furnishes food for serious consideration.
Doubtless the Senate will not concur
that it may, in time, be forced into a
concurrence should the people really de-
mand the change. The Importance Of
the action OF the House lies in its ap-
na,ent indication that such is the desire
of the people.

THE SPIDER AND THE FLY

From the Baltimore sun OF yesterday.
The st. James Gazette, London news
paper, discussing the report that the
United States Government may seize
the port of Smyrna and hold it until
Turkey has paid idemnity to American
missionaries, says: "If America sets
foot in Asia Minor perhaps she will find
that neither Germany nor Russia will be
uninterested spectators. From ourselves
she will get nothing but sympathy and
good will"
Great Britain is not in the habit o.
offering sympathy and good will from
sentimental considerations or merely fol
old acquaintance sake The hearty en-
couragement which the St. James Ga
zette extends to an invasion Of Turkey
by the United States must be read be
tween the lines before its true significance

A CLEVER COUP.
Clark. of Montana, Resigns His Seat
In the Senate and Is at Once
ReaDpOinted.

Helena. Mont, May 16.-Acting Gov.
Spriggs Tuesday night appointed W.
A. Clark, of Butte, United States SEN
ator to serve until the next legislature
shall elect his successor. Senator
Clark's resignation was filed early in
the day with the governor, and at
night he was. appointed by Gov.
Spriggs to succeed himself. Mr..
Clark's reasons for resigning are fully
set forth in the speech he delivered
Tuesday 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 utmost impartiality in
his office as lieutenant governor and
president of the. senate during the
senatorial campaign. Gov. Smith, a
partisan of the Daily people, left the
state two weeks ago for California to
attend to some mining cases in which
he is retained as attorney. At that
time there was no thought of Sena tor
Clark resigning, and his enemies were
confident he would be unseated by the
United States senate. The resigna-
tion came as surprise to the people
of the state, who had no inkling of
the coup prepared.
Washington, May 16.-Senators gen
orally declined to express opinions up
on the effect Of the appointment Of Mr.
Clark by the lieutenant governor of
Montana, sayings the problem was too
new Tor them to discuss; that investi-
cation would be necessary.

case involving the applicability of the

to estates composed of government
bonds. There were five decisions under
the federal law and one under the state
law, but two of the former class ap-
piled, as did one of the latter class. to
the taxation of government bonds. The
court held that neither under the state
nor the national enactment We're ma
tional bonds exempt from taxation. The
validity of the general federal law was
affirmed, but it, was held to be purely
applicable to legacies, and not to the
entire estates of deceased persons. the
court holding 1.-The tax is on the pass
ing of legacies or distributive shares
of personally, with a progressive rate
on each, separately determined by the
sum of each of such legacies or distrib-
utive shares The decisions dealing
with the federal law as a whole were
handed down by Justice White and
those relating to government bonds by
