SENITOR CLARK,S CASE.
Probability That His New Credentials
 WfIl Not be Presented.

Washington, May 20.--Senator Chand- Ter has given notice that he will ask the senate to take up the resolution con- corning the election of Senator Clark of Montana at 1 o'clock Monday, but it now appears probable that the resolu- ton may go over again. There is no understanding that the consideration of this resolution shall be controlled by the course of Senator Clark with refer ence to the presentation of his creden- tials as a senator under his appoint ment from the governor of Montana, but so far a, disposition has been mani- fested to allow them to travel together. and it is now the understanding in the senate that MT. Clark will not present these credentials. It is, therefore, prob- able that the matter may be definitely postponed for lack of prosecution and that no more may be heard of it during the session. If, however, MT. Clark should change his mind and put in his credentials Senator Chandler would move to refer them to the committee on privileges and elections, and if this mo- ton should prevail an immediate effort would be made to have the resolutions bearing upon MT. Clark's original elec- ton considered. MT Chandler, indeed. may call up the resolution independent ly of the credentials and make a stare- ment presenting the entire situation. If the case comes up at all it is sure to de- velop an interesting debate.
 The postoffice appropriation bill will continue to receive attention Monday if the Clark case does not displace it. Sen ator Spooner has given notice of a speech on the Philippine question on Monday at p. m.

CORRIG AN'S TISIT TO ROME.
Will Have No Political Rnsu!ts-Ti 6
 Question of "Americunism"

Rome, May 20.-1t is asserted at the vatican that Archbishop Corrigans visit will not have political results and that the question "Americanism' will remain in statu quo. The pope is de- voting himself entirely to the cere- monies and receptions of the holy year and the moment is not considered fa- vorable for raising such a vexed ques- tion as "Americanism." The arch bishops audience of the pope was very brief. He confined himself to describ- ing the progress of his diocese and pre- sented the pope with an album contain ing views of edifices constructed dur ing the last decade. The topic of "Americanism" was not under consid- eration at the audience.

HAWAIIANS DISCUSS POLITICS
4 MEETING or THE LEADERS OF
 THE NATIVES.

AMItatfOn With Either Republicans l or Dem ocrats at PrcscMt--sOft or Ka- | waiian Alliance Favored Including 1 Acceptable Whites. l Honolulu, May 12 via San Francisco.
 May 2O.-If the leaders have any control over the political destnies of the na- tives of the islands they will not for | some time to come express utilization with either of the great parties So much was decided by number of them at meeting held secretly. At this
 meeting were men inclined to be rep,,b- lcans and some favorable to the de- mocracy. A majority, however. favor- ed some sort of Hawaiian alliance talk
 to their ideas. The Portuguese vera mentioned
 The idea of the natives is to form am independent party. It was remarked that out of 14,0O0 votes the natives would poll 5000. Some of these would be lost to the republican and democrat ic parties, but with white and Portu- guese allies they would have a larga majority.
 With the final assurance of stable government will, it is predicted, come a financial boom in Honolulu. In addition to the influx of capital that is expected from the mainland comes word that President Mckinley has approved bill making available $2,OOO0o0. Word has also been received that Secretary Gage has announced that within forty-five days the Washington government will call in the s400o,0O0 of bonds assumed by the United States and pay for them. Probably 9,0000 900 of these bonds are held by the Hawaiian people and 1t is estimated that $2,OOO,OOO of them are now in the islands. Added to this, the plantations will pay their dividends i'm June and July.
 Kamalo Plantation and the American Sugar Plantation, both on the Island of Molokai have suspended operations. Work on Kamalo has been stopped on account of lack of funds. The Ameri- can Sugar compdny could not develop pure water supply and therefore was compelled to suspend what promised to be one of the largest sugar estate in the world.

 London, May H-3:10 a. m.--Display- ed in the most conspicuous style in the Daily Express is the dominant war news of the morning.
 The paper says: "We have the best reason for stating that, in the last tWen- ty-four hours, a telegram has been re- ceived at the foreign office, addressed personally to the prime minister from President Kruger, proposing terms of peace. The exact terms of the message cannot be stated, but we believe it is couched in an exceedingly humble strain.''
 It is inconceivable, of course, that Lord Salisbury can have sent any re- ply except the one that stands ready on the lip of every Briton-unconditiona surrender.
