British government for an apology, as the
officials say that Mr.. Macrum, who was
consul at Pretoria when the mail is said
to have been opened made no official
complaints on that subject, and thus the

before it to serve as q basis for a demand
for an apology.

CONSPIRACY CHARGED.


The contention is then made that the
prosecution of the case is the result Of
a conspiracy, former State Senator
Whiteside being represented as the chief
conspirator. Mr.. Whiteside's statements.
1t is declared. cannot be accepted as true,
because of their improbability when taxi
en- in connection with uncontradicteG tes-
timony."
Among the inconsistencies pointed out
in Mr.. Whiteside's statement IS the i'm
probability that there would have been
an effort to purchase the vote 0f State
Senator Clark, of Madison county, when
the latter was supposed to be o support
er of his namesake Of Silver Bow for the
office Of United ates senator. S mi.ar
Inconsistency is claimed in the case Of his
testimony relating to State Senator My
ers, and to Messrs. Welcome and Charles
w. Clark
eve submit TO the committee the brief
says In this connection, without even
considering the denials of every material
fact by all the parties named by White
side that the evidence having establish
ed the fact that Welcome and Charles
w. Clark knew the relation of Whitesile
10 the DAILY interests. as testified TO by
Welcome and Peeler, as early as the 5lst
of December or the 1st of January, it is
utterly improbable that they would vOlun-
possession of Whiteslde between the 4th
and 10th day of January 1t is. equally
absurd to suppose with their knowledge
of the position Of Clark of Madison, their
knowledge of the position of Myers and
their warnings as to Whiteside that the
motives of self-protection, If not OF per
sonal integrity, would not have rcst aimed
them from selecting him as an agent,
through whom members of the leglsla-
ture, especially those named, should be
approached"
Much space is devoted to the question
as to whether John B. We leone furnish
ed the $4,000 which Whiteside presented
to the Montana bribery investigating com,
nlittee, and in this connection the testi
mony of Whiteside Is analyzed at length,
in an effort to break it down.
With reference to the testimony TO the
judges Of the Montana supreme court, It
is said that lit is only material to the
case from the light 1t throws on the char
acter and reputation of the members of
the court, so as to prove the wisdom Of
Mr. Welcomes determination not to tes
tify before them in the proceedings for
his disbarment."

Mr. marcus DAILY as the chief inSttgatOr
OF the contest, and the statements on this
point are as follows:
Marcus DAILY, having defeated Senator
clark in 1888 for congress, and the senate
IN 1875, through treachery to his party or
ganization, was unwilling to restrain his
personal hostility and to permit the voice
OF the people through their legally coli
stltuted representatives to determine the
election of their senator; and, according
to his testimony, as early as the 10th of
February 1899. he organized a committee
of his personal friends and agents to work
up and prepare a case against the seating
of Senator Clark by this body.
The testimony will bear out the asSer-
ton that every member of this proseCut
ing committee was either one of the con-
spirators in the attempt to defeat MIR.
Clark's election, or an employee of Mr..
DAILY or an adherent of his faction In the
state.
In the attempt to fasten some fact upon
Senator Clark or his friends tending 20
show bribery or corruption, this self-con-
stituted committee has employed every
means which the unlimited use OF money
could command including the use OF de-
tectiVes in Montana, in Washington and
in New York, with a view of obtaining
some corroboration of the testimony OF
the conSpiratrs.
Reviewing the charges made in the me-
mortal in opposition to Mr.. Clark. it Is
claimed that "Out of the thirty-seven
names given Of members who We're bribed.
there is a resolute failure to induce any
proof Of any character by Whiteside or
any one else that they knew of any act
by which twenty of these men were brib-
ed.
