JEFFR1Es STILL CHAMPION.
HeavyweIEht PugiIIst Champion Knocked
COFbstt Out IN the TWenty-Thtrd
Round-Battls q Close one.

COney Island, n. Y, May 12.-Jim
.Jeffries is still the heavyweight cham
pion pugiIist of the world. He de-
feated jim Corbett In the twenty
third round Of their fight with a de
cisive knockout. Corbett had been
making a wonderful battle. His de-
tense was absolutely perfect and,
while he was lacking in strength; he
had more than held his own and
stood an excellent chance Of winning
the fight had it gone the limit. He
had not been badly punished and had
managed to mark his man severely.
The winning punch was a short left
jolt to the jaw. COrbett dropped
like a weight and was clear out. JET
fries showed his ability to take punch
ing at any distance, and hard, but
was clearly Outboxed and at times
made to look like a novice. Corbett
has regained much of his Old-time
form The battle was clean and it Is
dOUF tfuI if there was a single infrae-
ton Of the rules. The crowd was
most orderly.

SENATOR CLARK RESIGNS.
Withdrawal OF the lIoutoua ELan In o
Sensational speech 20 the United
States Senate

Washington, Nay IA sensation
was sprung in the senate Tuesday
soon after the body convened. Scarce
" had the routine business been con-
cIuded when Mr. Clark (Iont-), rose
and addressed the chair on a question
Of personal privilege to himself. Mr..
Clark said:
1t had not been my Intention TO dis
turb the recognized traditions OF this
most honorable body BY introducing my
opinions on any Question that might
arise Tor consideration during the pres
ent session, but the question called I'D
to-day for discussion 50 vItaIIy concerns
my own interests and the interests OF the
state which I have the honor in part to
represent, that shall ask the Indulgence
OF the senate while 7. as briefly as pos
st5le, submit some remarks, referring
first TO the character Of the investigation;
second, TO the majority report OF the
honorable committee on privileges and
elections, which has submitted findings
adverse to the retention OF my seat in
the senate; third, to the conditions eL-
listing m the state Of Montana for a
number Of years prior to my election
which justified my political action, and,
lastly a statement as to the course I
deem best TO pursue In the premises.
contend that an investigation invOlv-
ing seat IN the highest legislative body
OF this nation, as well as the honor Of an
Individual chosen for that position by
the people Of one Of the sovereign states
thereof, should be conducted in a strict
y judicial manner, and that in the pro-
ceedings, the established rules OF evidence
should be applied It IS well known to
everybody that this was not the case.
The senators who fled minority re-
port expressed in emphatic terms their
condemnation Of the proceedings in this
respect as well as a denunciatfon OF the
character and practices OF the principal
attorney and some OF the witnesses, who
testified for the prosecution.
In conclusion Mr.. Clark read a let
ter dated May II, announcing his
resignation.

Helena, Mont, Nay 16.-Lieut. Gov.
Spriggs, who arrived Tuesday, received
Senator Clark's resignation and reap
pointed Mr.. Clark at once. The
opinion is prevalent that Clark
having resigned before the senate de-
clared his seat vacant, the governors
appointment viii be recognized. Gov.
Smith wired that he would leave Cal
ifOTnia to-day but viii arrive too late
to stop the action Of Lieut.. Gov.
Spriggs, who belongs to the Clark
faction, while Smith is allied with the
DAILY faction. Developments have Gre
ated a profound sensation throughout
