INVESTIGATING THE FACTS.
An Immediate Reply From England
Regarding Seizures Not Expected.

An 1mmeu1ate fep1y FROM EnSahu
Regarding Seizures Not Expected.
Secretary Hay has not yet received the
answer of the British government to the
representations made to 1t by Ambassador
Choate respecting the seizure by British
warships of American flour and other
goods.
It is said at the State Department that
an immediate answer is not expected, in
view of the -xtreme importance of estab-
fishing an absolutely correct and sound
precedent in this at present vague and un-
settled point Of international law. Mr..
Choate is still seeking facts upon which to
base his argument, and the State Depart
nlent is supplying these quickly as the
information can be secured from the firms
that shipped the goods.
Providing these goods were actually the
property of American citizens and had not
been paid for by, and therefore passed into
the ownership of, the enemies Of the Brit
ish government, there is no doubt that,
under the conditions of the seizure as now
understood, they will be paid for by that
government. 1t is, however, extremely de-
sirable not only from the British point of
view. but also from a due regard for the
effect the decision now reached may have
upon our own future, that the greatest
caution be exercised in establishing broad
principles in this case.

Cr">s-ENamtned by Ex-senator Fauik-
her. Who Tried to Break
Down His Testimony

Ex-senator Faulkner today resumed his
cross-eXamination of Mr.. Nhiteside OF Mon
tana in the case Of Senator Clark Of that
state. He began the days proceedings in
an effort to break down the testimony Of
Mr. Whiteside concerning the part taken
by State Senator Clark of Madison county
In exposing the alleged misconduct of his
namesake in connection with the senatorial
election.
Whitesfde repeated his statement that he
had seen Mr.. Clark of Madison go alone to
the room of Welcome, one of the managers
for Senator Clark, and also that Mr.. Clark
the state senator. had asked a day t. SON
s.der the proposition TO enter into ehe
agreement to expose tile alleged bribery
proceedings. He asserted that the sugges-
ton that this state senator's vote could be
secured had not originated with him. but
with Welcome. He said many of these
points had not been touched upon al the
legislative investigation or before the grand
jury, because both these proceedings We're
comparatively brief.
AT Mr.. Faulkner's instance Mr. Whiteside
went over the details of the transaction
with State Senator Myers, who was one of
MS associates in the alleged exposure and
also told again the circumstances under
Which money was given to him. Both
transactions had been conducted in the
bath room of Mr.. Welcomes room at the

Mr. Whiteside also detailed some of the
particulars Of visit made to New York
and Washington by himself in February Of
last year. He said he had met here among
others Mr.. Campbell, counsel in the case,
and Mr.. Durston. He had not met them by
appointment, but they had discussed
whether they should make their disclosures
to Congress before the adjournment last
March, or wait until the beginning of the
present session. He and Mr.. Campbell had
been the most active agents in the present
prosecution.
Replying TO question as to whether the
DAILY faction had ever used money in poll
tics, Mr.. Whiteside replied that he did not
know; that charges of such use of money
papers friendly to Mr.. Clark; that the cor
rupt practices had begun in 1893 when
Clark was a candidate for the Senate and
had continued through the state capital
light when money was poured out like wa
ter-and in subsequent sessions of the legis-
lature until the last session, when the eli
max was reached. He had then determined
to do what he could to put a stop to the
practices; hence his activity in this prose-
cution.
Mr.. Faulkner then announced that for
the present he had concluded his examina-
tion of the witness, but that later when
his questions were properly formulated. he
would ask to have him recalled with
view of putting questions 10 be used as the
