THE CASE OF SENATOR CLARK.
Comment ut the Capitol on the
Forthcoming Report

Forthcoming Report.
The forthcoming report Of the Commit
Tee on Privileges and Elections Of the Sen
ate in the Montana contest continued to
be a source Of general comment in the
Senate wing Of the Capitol yesterday
There was much speculation as TO the
course Of coming events. but there were
no positive developments. Men who are
informed in the matter Of Montana poll
tics prophesied that the anti-Daly De
mocracy will triumph at the legislative
election this autumn. which would mean
that the next session Of the Legislature,
which will convene at Helena on January
l. 1901, and which is TO elect a successor
to Senator Carter. will choose Senator
Clark.

may be spent 20 defeat the will of the ma
jority Of the people Of the State. but IL is

friends did not file a statement as re

technical error on the part Of the friends
Of Senator Clark was used against him
before the Senate committee with great
effect even though the campaign account
was submitted 10 that committee
The suggestion that the Governor Of
Montana may appoint Marcus DAILY to the
seat TO which the Legislature elected Mr.

WITH DUMMY REVOLVER
Convicts Overawe a Guard and Escape
One Killed Afterwards.

LEAVENWORTH, Kan, Nov. 16.-Three
convicts made a dash for liberty at the
state penitentiary at Lansing this after
noon. One was killed and two escaped but
are being pursued by a posse. The con-
victs, Samuel Smith, under death SEN
ing odd moments in the coal mine had
fashioned a dummy revolver out of wood,
covering it with tinfoil This afternoon
the guard at the bottom of the pit sudden
ly found himself looking into the muzzle
of what he thought was a .32-calber re-
volver AT the same time he was COM
manded to hold up his hands The guard
was compelled to give the signal to lift
up and on reaching the top the quartet
passed the top guard unchallenged. the
guard accompanying the convicts being
the Enclosure Guard Hewitt was overpow-
cred, his Winchester and ammunition
taken away from him. After passing an
other post occupied by Guard Murray the
convicts broke and ran. Guard Swartz
seized Murray's gun and began firing, the
fire being returned with such effect that
SwartZ was severely wounded. Deputy
Warden Thompson was attracted by the
shooting and drew his revolver and fred

ing mortal.
Late reports from Lansing state that the
two prisoners who escaped are surrounded

the officers and the convicts. One of the
convicts was shot about 10 o'clock and his

MORE TROOPS NOT NEEDED.
General otis Says There Are Enough
Soldiers in the Philippines.

CHICAGO. Nov. 6.-Major General Otis
does not believe that any more troops need
be sent TO the Philippines, despite the
statement of President j. G. Schurman, of
Cornell University. The noted educator.
who was a member of the first Philippine
commission, in an address in New York on
Thursday evening, advocated the sending
of an overwhelming force TO the islands.
When the opinion of General Otis was
asked to-day he said:
II do not see the necessity for an in
crease. The force at present operating in
the islands is, in my opinion, amply able to
cope with the armed bands that COM
hitting depredations. These bands of rob-
bers always have existed in the Philip
pines and their work is confined to much
smaller territory than was ever the case
under Spanish rule. The only island in
which these robbers are TO be found TO any
extent at all is LuzOn. There the small
bodies of natives conceal themselves in the
mountains and swoop down on defenseless
villages numbering and robbing. Never In
so orderly as is the case at the present.
All of the men of prominence and educa-
ton are with the Americans and the ma
tives daily are recognizing American au-
thority.
within the future, just whether near or
remote l cannot say, it will be possible to
police the islands with native troops.

reconvened to-day. Bishop Cranston read
the report for China. Altogether for the
work there is asked for sl16,0l6, and that
amount decided upon. The bishop
said that in Fou-Chow $1,000 worth of
mission property had been destroyed, but
on account of the friendliness of the vice.
roy the adjustment and settlement of the
claims would not be as long delayed as
in other provinces. All the missionaries
in west China, he states, had been with
drawn from the field and all the property
sealed up Almost all the workers have
now gone back, and there has been no
destruction of buildings or persecution of
believers. The bishop felt sure that the
school at Picking could not be rebuilt this
year ard that even if it could, the build

De a great demand, would cost too much

WASHINGTON. Nov 16.-It is said at
the Navy Department that the effort made
in some of the French newspapers TO con-
meet Lieutenant Sims, late naval attache
at Paris. with the disclosures relative to
the French gun. are based upon misappre-
hension of the facts. Lieutenant Sims was
slated for sea duty many months ago, and,
in fact. the department named and sent
over a successor 10 him in the capacity OF
naval attache to the United States en-
bassy in the person of Commander Giles IS
Harper. Lieutenant Sims was detained in
Paris for some months by the department
by the request of the Pollock heirs, hav-
ing been charged with the distribution OF
the municificent prizes bestowed upon them
by the inventors of devices for saving life
at sea. However. this work was wound
up some time ago. and Lieutenant Sims
was ordered from Paris to Gibraltar solely
for the purpose OF joining there the battle
ship Kentucky. which is now making her
way out TO Manila, via Suez. He boarded
the Kentucky and began his work long be-
fore the first publication relative to the
disclosure of the secret OF the French guns
The officials here ridicule the story that
General Porter. ambassador to Paris. is in
any way involved in this scandal. In fact,
they contended that nobody connected with
the embassy has been smirched. and as
sert that the French government has not
made even the smallest inquiry which
would indicate a lack of confidence.
