IN THE SENATE.

Washington, May 27.-The time of the
Senate during the present week will be
divided largely between the iscussion of
the Philippine question and the consider
alton of appropriation bills with diver
sion about the middle of the week in the
Clark case.
The Senate will make an effort to meet
the plans of the House in the matter of
final adjournment on June 9th, but there
is general apprehension among Sena-
tors that the date may be postponed until
the ninth or eleventh. 1t is generally
believed that the Montana Senatorial con-
test will be disposed of when it is brought
up by referr ing it to thel committee .on
privileges and elections and that then
nothing more will be heard Of it during
the present session. The committee reso-
luton declaring that Senator Clark :
original election was not legal also bids
fair to remain on the calendar.

agree to the House resolution to adjourn
Wednesday, June 8, SO that much bust

Conference reports on appropriation
bills will have the right of way. There
are half dozen measures of public i'm

that none of them save the antitrust bill

their consideration under special rules.

they may be successful.

SITUATION IN THE NINTH
Democracy Disturbed Over the Con-
gressionaI Nomination.

gressionaI Nomination.
The gentleman of sporting proclivities
who would be bold enough to put up a
wage on the result OF the Democratic
congressional convention, which is TO be
held in the Ninth district next month, will
do well TO keep his money in his pocket.
This is Representative Landis's district
and the Democracy of the district is much
concerned just at this time over what is
conceded TO be a most perplexing situation.
The Republicans of the district. although
they assert hat Mr.. lands can beat
anybody the Democracy brings out. are
taking considerable interest in the con-
test.
The Democrats of Montgomery county
want to nominate George Harvey, Of Craw-
louisville. They insist that Mr.. Harvey.
who is a popular young lawyer of Craw-
louisville. could nave the nomination If
he would ''go after it" Mr.. Harvey does
not seem inclined TO "go after" the nomi-
nation. knowing the strength of Repre-
sentative Lands in the district. Some OF
the Democrats of the district would like
TO know just what kind of a fight Capt.
d. +. Allen expects to make in the event
he is nominated. Captain Allen is at pres
ent fighting for his government in the Phil
ippie islands. This fast has led TO some
comment in the district over what is
termed Captain Aliens Inconsistent posi-
ton. They point out that the captain is
doing the very thing that the Democracy
of the State is opposed to. The various
Democratic platforms that have been
adopted this summer have declared that
the war in the Philippines is all wrong,
but Notwithstanding this fact, Capt. ID. +.
Allen. a leading Democrat of the State,
is taking part in this war. A Montgomery
county Democrat who is acknowledged TO
be a leader in the district, is strongly OPP
posing Captain Aliens candidacy on these
grounds. This Democrat remarked a day
or two ago that if Captain Allen would
throw UP his commission in the Philippines,
come home and acknowledge that he had
make a mistake and declare that he be-
lieved the President was wrong in his
foreign policy, he (the Montgomery county
DemocraD would then support the cap
tain. The Montgomery county man as
serted that he believed it would be bad
policy TO nominate Captain Allen under
| any other circumstances. 1t is claimed that
| this is the sentiment Of many of the lead
ing Democrats of the district.

PROSPERITY IN THE WEST,
And Not Enough Free-Silver Senti-
ment to Speak About.

John C.. Wingate, who has recently re-
turned from a trip through the West and
Southwest, was at the Denison Hotel last
night. Mr.. Wingate represents a firm which
manufactures threshing machine attach
ments and he says he had an unusually
successful trip. He reports the crops in
Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas as
being most bountiful. Mr.. Wingate makes
the same trip each year. II heard very lit
tie political talk" he said last night. 81
made the same trip in 1896 and i really
heard more politics in one day during that
trip than I did during all Of this trip COM
bined. / made the remark 70 a man the
other day that 1t seemed TO me II all the
free-silver sentiment west of the Missis-
sippi river could be distilled there wouldn't
be enough of Ii to intoxicate an infant
gnat. The people of the West are too busy
TO talk politics now. They are prosperous
and they are satisfied. 1 don't think Ii is
possible for Bryan and the Populists TO
carry Kansas this year and 1 don't be-
lieve he can carry South Dakota again.
LAS an Instance of the prosperity in the
West / heard about one firm in Kansas
City which deals in threshing machines and
supplies. Two or three or four years ago
this firm had on hand about $4,000 of
paper that was overdue. This year the
same firm has less than $4,000 of this kind
of paper"
Mr.. Wingate has been making this West
ern trip for the last ten or twelve years
and he declares he has never seen the West
so prosperous as ii Is at this time.
