DOUBT ON CLARK's STATUS.
Senators Are rehabilitation is Post
Doned.

poned.
Washington, May 16--While there is
much discussion among senators over
the status OF Senator Clark of Mon
tana, there has not been sufficient
crystalization of sentiment to justify
a conclusion as to what the final re-
suit may be.
A meeting of the committee on prRi-
leges and elections has been called for
next Friday to consider what course
snail be pursued in view of Senator
Clarks resignation with reference to
the committee on resolutions declaring
the seat vacant. The members of the
committee say that they are not now
prepared to predict what course the
committee viii recommend.
The present purpose is to move the
reference OF the senator's credentials
when they are presented to the senate
to the elections committee. The indi-
cations at present are that this refer
ence viii be opposed by some of Mr.
Clark's friends, who take the position
that if this disposition be made of the
credentials it would be for the purpose
of SO delaying a report as to prevent
action on the case during the present
sitting of congress and thus practically
prevent Mr.. Clark reSuming his seat
at all. as a new legislature will be
convened in Montana next January. a
month after the next session of con-
gress cOnTenes.
It is admitted that the purpose of
moving the reference of the credentials
viii be found in the desire to investi-
gate the question involved in the ap-
pointment. It is thought by some SEN
ators that Governor Smith viii have a
presentation CT facts to make which it
viii be necessary to consider.
IN the senate today President Pro-
Tenn Frye laid before the body the
Montana resolution. Mr.. Chandler
asked that the resolution be postponed
until 1 o'clock on Saturday in order
TO give the senate committee on privi-
leges and elections time to consider
whether any further action was neces-

SENATOR BUTLER ExPLAINs.
Tells Why Populists Thought Dual
Nomination Best.


Washington, May Ex-senator Butler,
chairman Of the national committee Of
the Peoples party, was asked today if
it was true, as has been reported, that
both Mr.. Bryan ana Mr. Towne had ex-
pressed a preference that the Peoples
party national convention should not
nominate a vice presidential candidate.
He replied: u have been told that it
is true but it was the judgment of the
convention that the best way to elect
both Of them was to nominate. It must
be remembered that neither Mr. Bryan
nor TOwne IS intimately acquainted
with the present situation as to the
Populist vote of the country Mr. Bry-
an could not be elected ~ disbanding,
or appearing TO disband the Organiza-
ton of the Peoples party To have
done so would have lost him ten POpu-
list votes for every gold Democratic
vote that he would have won back to
him. In short the convention did the
thing that was necessary to be done to
insure the election of Mr. Bryan

A BETTER TONE.
ported Quite Favorable
Helped by Holidays.

New York Dec. 15.-Bradstreet's says
Favorable conditions rule generally In all
lines of seasonable trade. Holiday prep
arations are OF course, dominant in retail
business. and, where this has hitherto
Jagged, It has been stimulated by more
seasonable weather. Wholesale distribution
Is limited. as natural at this period, but
western jobbers are in receipt OF a fair re-
order business. So far the best reports al
TO the retail trade comes from the west
and south. In leading Industries the best
report is still that made by finished prod
ucts of the iron and steel industry, but
other favorably situated lines are boots
and shoes and lumber. Retail lumber Is
rather quiet, but wholesalers are preparing
for a good year. Hardwoods are specially
firm In price The cereals are lower In price,
due to proft-taking on the late upward
move, the larger movement of supplies,
particularly of corn, which Is favored by
the weather and to less interest on the
part OF foreign buyers.
while business In iron and steel as
whole is quieter than Of late, there Is no
apparent diminution in strength, and ac-
tual transactions In rails and plates COM
pare well with the best recorded. One sale
of 50, 900 tons Of rails, divided between east
ern and western mills, is reported, and other
sales will swell the weeks business to 100-
200 tons at the much-abused, but neverthe-
less accepted SIG basis. Another feature
Is the sale OF II 800 tons for export to Nor
way. The volume of rail orders already
booked for next year is declared to exceed
all records"
r. G. Dun & Co., in their Weekly Review
Of Trade, say: Holiday trade has in
creased moderately, and in wholesale staple
lines no relapse is seen either in volume
of transaction or in prices. Cold weather
has helped New York but It is still behind
the rest Of the country, for some recent
losses from failures in the textile markets
have fallen rather heavily here. Collec-
tions in the country continue good, and
this relieves anxiety which might other
wise be felt over the higher rates for money.
Merchants accounts are in good position,
so that new sales of commercial paper are
light even for this season. Industrial condi-
tions continue with no greater accumula-
ton of new merchandise in any quarter
sharp rise to a minimum of $4.S5 in whole
sale price of coal, fully % cents in two
weeks, rejects actual scarcity of the prod
uct more than negotiations to harmonic
the trade.
Failures for the week were 240 in the
United States, against 2lS last year, and
26 in Canada, against &c last year"
