THE CLARK CASE
More Damaging Evidence Offered Since
Our Last Report.

Washington, Jan. 9.-At the be-
ginning of to-day's session Campbell,
of counsel for professionals, made n
brief statement generating Hon. J.
X. Toole from any unfair participa-
ton In the election Of Clark.
George l.. Ramsey, cashier Of the
Union Bank and Trust Co. of Helena,
produced n letter and memorandum
Of $1,000 bills paid ont by the bank,
beginiin ing with January 10, 1899.
The record showed that the bank
had had demands for large bills from
the State Savings bank of Butte,
sending that institution $4,000 on
the eth, and another 100000 on the
18th Of the same month in these bills.
Mostof these large bills were received
from other banks, hut occasionally
one or two were deposited ut a time
by individuals. For the month of
March sixty-seven $1,000 bills passed
through the bank, for the month al
February seven, and Tor January j..
Among the individual depositors OF
large bills were MAssena Billiard,
Helena, lawyer; Deputy Clerk Berry,
j. l.. Cullen and j. II. Geiger, who
successfully contested the election OF
Whiteside as state senator. In the
latter case the bill was in the denom-
nation OF $500. Billiard had not
only deposited n 81. 900 bill on Feb. I,
but had received $4,000 in 81 900 bills
on the second OF the month. In re-
Spouse to questions Ramsey said he
had deposited certificates of deposit
from another bank for $3.50 in ex-
change for which he had given Geiger
a certificate for 81 $50 and n draft for
81, 900. 1t was at the same time that
Geiger had brought the $500 bill into
the bank which he had changed.
One OF the parties to- whom lac bank
had paid out large bills was Well.
come, who, Ramsey explained, was
not the j. b. Welcome, prominent in
this case.
At the afternoon session w. b. Do.
lenty, banker at Townsend, Mont,
testified concerning banking and
financial transactions OF State Sena'
tor Tierney. The witness said he owed
the bank $4,000 prior to the meeting
of the legislature. This bad beer
paid since then. Witness said thai
Tievney had in late months invested
In bank stock. He considered Tier
ney worth about $4,000 or $1,000
more than he was prior to his cleo
ton. Replying TO a question, he sait
he had an Idea" where the money
came from with which Indebtedness
to his bank was paid, but he did no
state his suspicion.

General Simon Buckner has no bet
ter opinion Of Bryan's Democracy
now than he had in 1876. In n recent
4 Interview he gave expression to the
following:
THE Democratic party has n o fu-
ture until the element now in control
has been wiped out, which. however,
promises To be done at the elections
OF this year. E~ypediency, not prin-
ciple, IL the motto Of this element:
the energies OF its leader, Mr.. Bryan,
are engaged In hunting for IN issue
which he hopes will attract votes
and not In the PRONUNCIATION Of those
great principles ON which the demo-
cratic party rests. The controlling
element OF the party today would
commit 1t to opposition to expan-
sion, whereas expansion was the
essence Of Jcffersonlan democracy"

A bill calling for the election OF sen

men in that body who would he

Clark case should convince any man

Elsewhere will be found the protest
OF the Montana state board OF sheep
commissioners against that clnuse In
the reciprocity treaty between the
United States and the Argentine Re-
public which provides for n reduction
OF the tariff on wool from that coun-
try OF 20 per cent. The treaty pro-
poses 20 reduce the tariff from II to s
cents a pound. Every woolgrowIng
state In the Union IL tnking similar
action, and 1t is believed when the
facts are laid before the sennte md
the president the danger will be
averted. According to the protest
the Argentine Republic produced lOO.-
OOO,O 0 pounds more wool last year
than the United States, and the man.
ner of its production places thlscoun-
try on unequal terms. But That Ia
not the only dangerous aspect. Hon.
Il. &. Power. president OF the hoard,
In an interview said that so far as he
knew there II nothing in the treaty
that Will prevent Australian shippers
from rebilling Australian wool at Ar.

ing Australia the benefit Of the re.
duced tariff concession proposed &c

lie Of Argentine. Such n loophol,
would work n great injury to tn,

posed treaty may be all right but n,
American Interest should be permit
