LONDON, April 11.-Britons are now
beginning, though reluc uctantly, to realize

Preparations are being made to hold

u What the chances are for an advance
to Pretoria may be judged by the fact
that only 5000 to 10000 horses are on

KEEP CLARK OUT
Senate Committee U Unanimously
Votes to Declare Montana
Seat Vacant.
Tactics Of the Relators Censured,
But the Evidence Was
suffici
ALI Shades of Opinion Expressed
in Commit ceiling of
Leniency.

WASHINGTON, April /. The senate
.committeeon privileges and elections
has decided by a unanimous vote to
recommend the adoption Of a resolution
declaring that Hon. w. A Clark Of 4
Montana is not entitled to occupy his
seat as a senator from Montana. The
decision was reached after a two hours
sitting, at which all the members Of the 4
committee were, present except one.
The absentee was Senator Gallery Of
Louisiana and he wired his vote in OPP
position to Mr.. Clark. The ballot was
not taken until all the members present
had expressed themselves upon the
question, some of them speaking at
some length and all expressing different
shades Of opinion. Senator Harris Of
Kansas indicated the most pro-
nounced leaning toward leniency
for Mr. Clark. He did not
express any doubt that there had
been lavish expenditure of money4in
Mr.. Clark's behalf, and while not con-
doning this course, he spoke in terms Of
strong condemnation of the tactics pur-
sued by some Of his CLARK s}opponents,
referring especially to Congressman
Campbell and former State Senator
Whiteside. He said that whatever Mr..
Clark's ofenses, they were but little
worse than the methods pursued by
Campbell and Whiteside in their efforts
to expose the senator, and he insisted
that if the report was to be antagonisic
to Mr.. Clark it should at the same time
relate in full detail the course pursued
by the two principal witnesses against
him. s5-E ~
- Evidence Was Cumulative. l2,-". j.;
Senator Pettus practically agreed
with Mr.. Harris. The two senators
also expressed some doubt as to the jus
tifcation Of the conclusion drawn by
Essdority of the committee that Senator
Siark's candidacy for the senate began a
in August, 1898, when he returned to
Butte from New York. The effect of
this conclusion was to charge up the
entire $4,000 which Senator Clark
confessed to having expended, to his
campaign for the senate A-.
Senator McComas was among the
sClIto1S NAO AGuSSSSu DIS COu~
vinced that the senatorial seat was in
view from the beginning. Mr.. Nc
Comas, however, united with other sem
ators in condemning the methods pur-
sued in prosecuting the case.
The concensus of opinion of the COM
mittee appeared unfavorable to accept
ing any one especial feature against Mr. ]
Clark as the basis for the report against
him, the general opinion being that it
was the cumulative character of the
testimony that should be considered
rather than any one especial detail
Senators Chandler and Turley were
directed to prepare the report. tbs ex-
pected to be presented at an early day.
Senator Clark was at the Capitol
when the announcement of the action
of the committee was made known. He
was surprised at the result, but refused
to make statement until after consul
tation with his friends and attorneys.

Pettiqrew is Pestiferous.

Senator Pettigrew is digging deep his
political grave by his wild charges that
the president is deceiving the American
people with regard to the conduct Of
the Philippine war; and by his speeches
in the senate declaring that the nation
is committing an outrage upon q sister
republic, which, were he n of the Fill
ipinos, he would resist until his hair
turned gray. The South Dakota man
worked himself into a frenzy over the
imaginary wrongs his countrymen are
doing, but the people of his state, nor of
any other, believe the charges he makes
with regard to the president, and few
take any stock in the claim that the
Filipinos ever had a republic. This
country was saved from an error that
would have made it impossible to do for
Cuba what is being done, had the ex-
istence of an alleged republican govern
ment been admitted when the United
States undertook to save the island
from further devastation. The same
wisdom is manifested by ignoring Fill
pino claims that are at least as shadowy
as those made by the Cuban army,
which had gone through the form of
naming a president and executive Off
GERS, but had no government in fact
which could exercise the functions of a
government.

Beveridge's Speech Told.

Senator Beveridge Of Indiana may
have been somewhat lurid In his clio
quence in the senate the other day, but
it is natural that he should have been,
for he has seen the blood of American
soldiers shed by people whom this coun-
try would benefit were the uprising
ended and order restored in the land
which they have made one of horrors.
In his speech in the senate the young
Indianan said of those whose voices
in America have cheered those misguid-
ed natives on to shoot u soldiers
down, that the blood of those dead and
wounded boys of ours Is on their hands,
and the flood of years can newer wash
that stain away" There was a deep, al
though suppressed sensation among his
auditors. At the conclusion of the
speech tremendous and unrestrained
applause swept owe the galleries, and
it was notable that Secretary of the
Treasury Gage, who occupied a seat In
the senator's gallery, was a participant
in it.

England failed to get a mortgage on
Delagoa bay through an offer to loan
the Portuguese government money, or
to guarantee such a loan. Portugal re-
piled tina she did not need to borrow.
Germany was in the deal, and would
also have taken some desired point as
collateral. OF course, Portugal holds
her port and the territory surrounding
it for sale, and is making no effort to
extend her colonial interest, but un-
doubtedly the owner knows the strate-
gic value of Delagoa bay, and has long
expected to receive a good round price
for it. When Great Britain gets the
coveted possession, which she very
much needs now, it will be a big figure
she will pay unless she takes it by force
of arms. An attempt to do this just
now would result in the Portuguese set
tiers going to the support of the Beers,

Let the Public Voice Be Heard.

San Juan county led off last week in
the matter of declaring for statehood.
At a public meeting at Pennington the
voice Of the people was expressed unan-
imously i'm favor of escaping from the
anomalous form of government under
which New Mexico has been held for
over fifty years, and for more than two
decades after the admission Of Colora-
do, which San Juan county borders. It
is now in order for the counties of the
Pecos valley, which border the state Of
Texas, and represent the opposite end
Of New Mexico, to follow the lead Of
the northern county and talk up
through public meetings. There are
many Texans in that portion of the
country who by removing a distance OF
but a few miles have lost certain rights
which every good American should
have, namely, of helping to choose the
executive officers under whom he must
live, and of having a voice through the
ballot in the passage of the laws OF the
nation which governs him. The coun-
ties which lie between the two extreme
points Of New Mexico should not be be-
hind San Juan and the Pecos country in
this matter, for all have plenty of citi-
zens who have enjoyed the benefits Of
state government, and the masses who
were born within the territory compre-
bend that they are Disseminated
against under a territorial form Of gov.
eminent, and desire the best sort o.
government developed in the United
States. Public meetings are sometimes
very effective In convincing the coun .
try at large that the people know their
rights and will be contented with moth
ing less; then the desired! object is soon
err attained than where indifference Is
manifested, and 1t is taken for granted
the result will occur without effort be.
ing made to secure 1t.

Santa Fe County Gets There.

There is not sufficient moneys in the
hands OF the treasurer to make even a
pro rata payment on the obligations
contracted by Grant county during the
last quarter Of the year 1899, and as a
result the creditors will not receive a
single penny upon their Indebtedness.
The amount of the bills approved by
the board of county commissioners at
thsdr recent meeting was between $4,000
and $1,000, while there Is in the hands
OF the treasurer less than $3.50 applica-
bic to the disbursement-not sufficient
to sven attempt a payment. None Of the
county officials will even venture a
guess as to when the creditors can ex-

(Boston Post.)

(BOSCOn FOSL.)
In the three cities of Boston, New
York and Philadelphia, the enormous
sun of 1920, 900, 900 will be distributed in
the month of January in the shape Of
dividends. About two-thirds of this
amount will be paid ON the LIST of the
month, the balance on the 18th. OF this,
some $50, 600, 900 will be paid in Boston.
1t Is plain enough that the country has
not gone to the dogs yet. This dividend
account stands for a very considerable
amount of profitable activity in indus
trial enterprises of all sorts during the
past quarter and the past six months.
1t stands for prosperity and for the
promise of a prosperous new year. We
may feel the pinch of a semi-pantc 10.
cally, but the great basis of good times
Is seen to be sound.
The distribution of this large amount
Of money must have a favorable effect
upon the situation. Something of the
"tightness' Of the money market is IN
questionably due to the preparations
for making these payments. A season
OF more or less easy money may be
anticipated after the distribution IL
made.
