The board also reports the bounty law

that the association is to be congratulated
on iis prosperous condition. The criti-

Clark Will be Swiftly Dealt With and I'M
tremendously Fired Out Of the Senate.
THE ENTIRE COMMITTEE JOINS IN THE REPORT.
Hobson Denounced the Clark Leader in Securing Repub-
Gcan Votes for the Doodle Senator~>>>Geger, By
water and Beasley Were Surely Bribed

uary, left their Republican candidate and
voted for Mr.. Clark and gave him his eec.
ton, in the opinion OF the majority OF the
committee, calls for special criticism.
There was an absolute deadlock and no
possibility OF the election OF Democrat
without the aid OF these Republicans. 1t
is difficult to account for these Republican
votes for Senator Clark. Senator Clark's
candidacy had been tainted on the 10th Of
January by the Whiteside exposure. The
facts exposed had not been disproved on
Jan. rs. The reasons given for the Repub-
lican votes for Mr.. Clark seem to lie pre-
lenses and covers. Senator Clark, who
had been negotiating with Mr.. IIobson, the
leader Of the Republicans, wrote letter
on the 10th OF January in which he de-
clared himself TO be in favor OF n tariff on
Montana products. Some OF the Republi-
cans said there ought not to be deadlock,
and that it would be better to have a Dem
ocratic senator than vacancy.
"No one pretends that any effort was
made to bring about the election Of any
other Democrat than Mr.. Clark, against
whose agent the charge OF bribery had been
made. The committee do not say that the
votes OF the eleven Republicans were all
improperly secured, but that those Of
Geiger, Beasley and Bywater were has al
ready been found. Circumstances OF sus-
pieion against the Others are numerous.
Senator Hobson is mainly responsible
for the action OF the Republican members.
He was the chairman Of their caucus and
the leader in the Clark movement. He
early began negotiations with Mr.. Clark,
and the latter's written promise that he
would be an independent tariff Democrat
was addressed to Mr.. Hobson under the
date OF January 16.
"In the face Of all the facts tending to
impeach the conduct OF so many OF the Re.
publican members. and OF the evident po-
litical reason why they should not have
contributed their votes to the election OF
Senator Clark, Democrat under charges
Of corruption, with the finding that Senator
Clark's election was obtained by corrupt
practices. in the opinion OF the majority,
is strengthened by the action OF IL Repub-
lcans who, on the 2Sth day OF January,
abandoned their own party and thus
strangely elected a Democrat senator"

Washington, April Ex-senator Chaud.
Ter, from the senate committee ou privi-
leges and elections, today submitted TO the
senate the report OF that committee in the
case of senator Clark OF Montana. The re.
port is comparatively brief, covering only
about fifteen pages OF printed matter 1t
does not rehearse the testimony, but
simply presents the findings of the com
mittee and the reasons for its course. The
The finding OF the committee is stated as
follows:
"The finding OF the committee is that the
election to the senate OF WIN. A. Clark OF
Montana is null and void on account OF
bribery attempted bribery and corrupt
practices by his agents, and OF violation Of
the laws OF Montana defining nd Furnishing
crimes against the elective franchise"
In view OF this finding the committee re-
ports and unanimously recommends the
adoption by the senate of the following
resolution:
Resolved, That VIM. A. Clark was not
duly and lawfully elected to a seat in the
senate Of the United States by the legisla.
ture OF the state OF Montana"
The report concludes with a strong rec
concentrations for prompt consideration
Of the case, as follows:
"The senate should, as duty to itself
and the country, demonstrate by its action
on this case that seats in the United States
senate, procured as Senator Clark's has
been procured, cannot be retained by the
deliberate judgment OF the senate. The
senate also owes duty to the people Of
Montana, who, conscious OF the bad repute
into which the state has fallen by reason
party expenditure Of money in its elec
tions, manifested such a public sentiment
that the legislature OF ! S95 passed ct atute
which, il obsyed. would have redeemed the
state from its bad name.
For the direct and gross violations of
that statute and the consequent discredit
which continues to rest upon the state,
Montana has right to expect prompt
and decisi, . remedy from the action OF the
senate upon the report Of this committee"
or the conduct OF the Republican mem
bers OF the legislature who voted for Mr..
Clark the committee says:

Maseru, Basutilaud, April 2l.-The
Beers around Wepener have been re-
enforced and are now stronger than
ever. The firing Of cannon and rifles
were heard today in the direction Of
Dewetsdorp, which was looked upon
as meaning that relief was approach
ing. Heavy fighting is hourly ex-
pected. Two large Boer forces left
the vicinity OF Wepener this morning,
one going In the direction Of Dewets-
dorp and the other toward Roux-
vile.
The Beers are excited and jubilant
in consequence Of President Steyn's
assertion that foreign intervention is
certain, and that it il only necessary
to continue the struggle for u short
time. Generals Dewet and Oliver are
inspiring the burghers with inflama-
tory patriotic speeches.
Several houses have been filled with
Boer wounded and Others have been
sent to Ladybrand.
The field cornet, Bouwer. who sur
rendered to the British and after
ward rejOined the Free Statsrs. has
been arrested by the Beers. His wife
offered 600 pounds bail for his ap-
pearance, but 1t was refused.

London, April 22.-Dispatches ar
riving from the seat Of war, though
meager and unsa tisfactOry. clearly
indicate the renewed activity at all
points where the British and Bocr
forces are In striking distance OF each
other.
Interest for the moment centers at
Dewetsdorp and Alexander, where
evidently fighting is in progress.
A dispatch from Aliwal North,
dated April 20, says that there was
heavy firing on the previous day
between Dewetsdorp and Wepener
and around Wepener on Saturday
but no particulars have been received.
A special dispatch from Mazeru,
dated Saturday says: The interest
in Wepener continues. The Beers
seem determined to do their utmost
to capture the garrison before relief
arrives. Severe fighting appears i'm.
minent.
The activity OF the Beers at Elans.
laagte, apparently has failed to draw
Butler, II that was it's object, into
doing more than to repel the attack
made on his advanced posts.
A dispatch from Warrenton, dated
Saturday, says: There has been In.
termittent and active sniping by the
Beers, who also fired q few shells
both during the day time ut the sta.
tion the past two days.
