Washington. May Ex-senator
Chandler has given notice that he
will ask the senate to take up the
resolution concerning the election OF
senator Clark, OF Montana, at l
O'Clock Monday, but IL now appears
probable that the resolution may go
over again. There is no understand
Ing that the consideration OF this res
ulution shall he controlled by the
course oi Senator Clark with refer
ence to the presentation OF his Gre
dentials as IA senator under his ap-
pointment by the lieutenant govern
or of Montana, but so far dlsposi-
tion has been manifested to allow
them to travel together, and IL IL
now the understanding In the senate
that Mr.. Clark will not present these
credentials.
! IL is, therefore, probable that the
entire Clark matter may he indefin-
itcly postponed for lack of prosecu-
tiOn and that no more may be heard
uf IL during the session. II, however,
Mr Clark should change his mind
and present his credentials. Senat,
Chandler would move to refer them
to the committee on privileges and
elections, and II this motion should
prevail, an immediate effort would be
made to have the resolutions bearing
upon Mr.. Clark's original election
considered. Mr.. Chandler. indeed,
may cali up the resolution independ-
entity Of the credentials and make a
statement presenting the entire situ-
alton. II the case comes up at all. it
is sure to develop an interesting de.

The happlest girl in Butte yesterday
was Miss Alice McAndrews, winner by a
safe majority of several thousand votes
OF the Inter Mountains Paris Nome con-
test. She held open house at the Dor
othy, where hundreds of her friends call
ed to congratulate her on her victory. 1t
was The event of her life, and she did the
honors of tn eoccasion with the grace
and tact that has stood her in such good
stead during the exciting contest. one
young lady who called to congratulate
her remarked that she ought to be very
happy:

tort, 'and if should you can depend that

Miss McAndreWs will 60 to Cape Nome
as the guest of this newspaper. She
thinks she sees in the frozen north gold
en- opportunities, and can afford to over
look the allurements Of trip to Paris
because Of the money that is to be made
in Alaska. Certainly the pluck and grit
and energy that has helped her to win
this contest will not be amiss on the
old-stratumed beaches Of Cape Nome.
She expects to depart about June 5 and
Will go west via the Great Northern. The
officials of the road have taken a very
lively interest in the contest and will see
that the young lady is accorded every
luxury and comfort Of modern travel.
Just what steamship line will have the
honor of carrying the most popular
young woman in Butte to Nome has not
yet been decided upon. Several lines are
very anxious to do SO, and the matter
will be decided upon in the course of a
few Gays.
The interest in the contest has been
intense. In every town in the state the
subscribers of the Inter Mountain have
contributed to the result and have
watched the fight with an interest fully
as keen as the local workers for the re-
spectiye candidates.

FAv0RS BECKHAM
United States Supreme Court Decides
Governosrhip of Kentucky Af-
firming Lower Court.

Washington, May 21.-The Kentucky
governor ship case was today decided by
the United States supreme court in the
interest of Beckham, affirming the decis-
ion of Kentucky court of appeals.
The opinion was handed down by Chief
Justice Fuller and the case dismissed for
want of jurisdiction and that the deter
mination of cases of this character, con-
tests for state officers must necessarily be
settled by the political branch of the gov
ernment. That branch had acted in the
Kentucky case when the general assem-
bly, took jurisdiction.
There was no appeal from the assem-
bly's decision, which was favorable to
Goebel and Beckham, except to the tri-
bunal of the people which the tribunal
chief justice said was always in session.
He also said the case was purely state
case, that Kentucky was in full possession
of its faculties as member of the union
and there was no mercency at this time
calling for interference. The opinion in
Kentucky was not unanimous. Some of
the justices dissenting. Justice Brewer,
Harlan and McKenna were the dissenting
justices.

Special to the Inter Mountain.
Washing ton, May 21.-fThe Boer ques-
ton came up in the senate this after
noon on the resolution of Allen to admit
the Boer representative to the floor of
the senate.
Senators Allen and Mason made pro-
Boer speeches on the resolution.
Davis delivered vigorous speech on
the question of the Boer representatives.
He said their mission was well under
stood and known. They had, however,
proceeded in a manner irregular and
highly improper. Davis said he did not
want to discourage the sympathy of the
American people with the Beers, but
these representatives had been taking
an unWise course, premature and un-
diplomatic. Before presenting their case
to this government, they were going
about the country attending public
meetings and attempting to enlist the
people of the United States to bring
pressuresto bear to influence the action
of the government. Davis moved to
lay the Allen resolution on the table,
which was carried by vote of 36 to 81.
