SURPRISED THE SENATE.

Mr.. Clsrk's Resignation Came Without
Previous Announcement.
WASHINGTON, May 16. - Mr.. Clark
(Mon.) fairly swept the senate with
surprise by formal announcement that
he had sent his resignation as senator
to the governor Of Montana. The an
nouncement came without previous
notice, and probably not half dozen
persons in Washington knew that it
was to be made. Mr.. Clark struck first
at the instant when the iron was hot.
Mr.. Chandler, chairman Of the commit.
tee on privileges and elections, had
given notice that he would call up at
o'clock the unanimous report Of the
senate declaring Mr.. Clark not to be
entitled to his seat. A spirited contest
over the resolution was expected and
every senator in the city was in his
seat. At 1890, when the routine bust
ness was concluded, Mr.. CLARK rose in
his seat. He desired, he said in low,
tense voice, to address the senate on
question Of the highest personal i'm
portance to him. Instantly there was a
buzz in the chamber. Senators on both
sides of the aisle hurried to seats near
Mr.. Clark and hush fell over the
assemblage as the Montana senator be.

Scarcely Could Be Heard,
but as he proceeded his voice became

his utterances carried his address to the
remotest parts Of the chamber.
His address was sharp erraignment
Of the committees action and report,
an analytical discussion Of evidence ad-
duced at the investigation, an explana-
ton Of political and business affairs in
Montana and bitter excoriation of

to hand down to his children a name

voice trembled with emotion. He al

speech Mr.. CLARK became the center of

was transacted. The resolution. relat-
ing to Mr.. CLARK went over until Tues.
day and the senate proceeded to the

HELENA, Mon, May 16.-Acting Gov

with the governor and he was later ap-
pointed by Governor Spriggs to succeed

campaign. Governor Smith, partisan
of the DAILY people, left the state two
weeks ago for California to

that time there was no thought Of Sen.
ator Clark resigning, and his enemies
were confident he would be unseated by
the United States senate. The resigna-
ton came as a surprise to the people Of
the state, who had no inklng of the coup
prepared. During the day Governor
Spriggs received a great many tele-
grams from all over the state urging
him to appoint Senator Clark, alleging
that he was the real choice of a large
majority Of the Democrats and large
proportion Of the Republicans as well.
Governor Spriggs was besieged all day
by individuals and by delegations
friendly and hostile to Mr.. CLARK.

WANTS EVIDENCE
GOOD CHARACTER.
Charles Perry Will Soon be Tried for
Murder.
MUST ESTABLISH A CHARACTER
Therefore His Lawyer Writes to Par
ties in Americas Asking Them to
Come to Philadelphia and Testify
in the Case.

Charles Perry, the Amer1cus negro
in prison in Philadelphia, charged
with murder, will be tried for that
crime in two or three weeks, and is ex-
tremely anxious that some of his for
mer friends here go to Philadelphia at
the time of the trial and give testimony
as to his previous good character.
at least that's the proposition made
by Perry's attorney on the scene.
Recently he addressed letter to
three or four prominent citizens, re-
citing tie fact that Perry was to be
tried early in October, and that pre-
vious good character should be estab-
lished.
He stated that the evidence against
Perry was largely circumstantial. The
facts relative to the brutal murder of
the victim, an old white man in the
suburbs of Philadelphia, some three or
four months ago, were given in the
Times Recorder at the time and are
well remembered by all.
Robbery was the incentive for the
CRIME, though the murderers obtained
only little money and an old silver
watch.
It was when Perry's room mate at
tempted to pawn this watch that the
detectives obtained the first clue to the
identity of the murderers, Perry and
two other negroes were arrested at
once.
Prior to Perry's flight from Ameri-
Gus he was connected with a wholesale
burglary here, the worst gang that
ever operated in the city making his
house depository for their plumber.
The Sheffield burglary was traced di-
rectly to Perry and state warrants are
now issued against him in Amerlcus.
Perry fed the state and soon landed
in Philadelphia and Jail.
One of the gentlemen addressed by
the Philadelphia lawyer replied yes
terday, reciting the facts regarding
the burglary here, of which the lawyer
was evidently in blissful ignorance.
He stated that in the event he went to
Philadelphia hisI. burglary story, re-
lated upon the stand, wouldn't help
Perry very much.
The chances are that the lawyer will
seek elsewhere for testimony where
with to establish the ''good character
of Charles Perry of Americus, fugitive
burglar and suspected murderer.

COTTON DECLINES
VERY MATERIALLY.
Market Off Nearly Cent Within The
Past Week.
SPOTS TEN AND A HALF CENTS.
Bull Movement Seems to Have Halted
For Time and Prices Sag Materi-
ally. Heavy Receipts and Slight
Demand Responsible.

The decline in the cotton market,
which began three or four days ago,
continues by degrees and already spot
cotton is off three quarters to a cent a
pound. The decline may be checked
at any time, probably today, but the
talent here figure upon further losses
ere the upturn in the market is reached.
Some predict that cotton will touch
ten cents on the downward course.
Good middling cotton sold for 1O3
cents IN the Americus market yester-
day morning, but later IN the day spots
were weaker and only fancy article
commanded the top price.
A week ago the market here was
strong at II cts to III cents, and thus
a loss of three-fourths ola cent has been
scored within that time. Buyers here
have few orders at the present high
level, though all good cotton offered
Yesterday went at prices ranging from
10 cents as high as 103 cents.
Rather heavy receipts over the cot
ton belt are expected this week,
With fair weather the great bulk of
the crop in this part of the state will be
picked out and sold, unless the farmers
desire to hold for higher prices that
will surely come later.
Not great amount of cotton is being
held IN the Americas warehouses.
Farmers very wisely considered the
recent high prices good enough, and in
order to cancel their debts and get
some money ahead let part of their
cotton go. But they are fixed to hold
any more they have.
Any fancy price suggested is a posi-
bility after the holiday season.

FARMERS BUYING FINE HORSES
High Cotton Is Making Good Market
For Stock.

The effect of high priced cotton is re-
fected upon the livestock market as
elsewhere, and stock dealers are look
ing forward to harvest this fall. Far
mers are going to buy good horses and
mules as they have not done in years,
and Americas, as usual, will be a
splendid market this fall. Already one
dealer here has disposed of whole
carload of horses, selling twenty-one
head within the past twelve days, and
other dealers have done well also.
Farmers love fine stock, and will buy
good mules and horses now that they
have the money to spend in that way.
