more consideration than does the Vet
erinary Corps.
| hope that Senators in passing upon
this question will take into consider
ation that in the establishment of this
corps it is not going to cost the Gov
ernment Of the United States a sum
larger by more than $4,000 than that
which is to-day being paid for the kind
of service the Government is receiving.
In this connection / might say that
there is not to-day in the Army service
veterinarians who are able to give that
consideration and examination to the
great question of Army foods that is
required. Many will remember the
very disagreeable criticism that was
passed upon the administration of our
Army during the Spanish h-American
war in regard to the food that was
furnished to our armies / desire to
say-and l believe it to be true-that
if we then had a commissioned veteri-
nary corps under proper regulations,
that criticism would never have been
had.
1t is fresh in the minds of many
Senators what great loss the Govern
ment sustained in the death of the
cavalry and artillery horses stationed
in Florida. That loss was largely due
to the lack of veterinary treatment. In
the United States to-day the value of
army animals is so large that it seems
to me any legislation which would aid
in the preservation and protection of
the property of the United States in
these animals would be the strictest
sort of economy.
do not desire to go into a more ex-
tended argument in favor of this pro-
position
A rising debate participated in by
several Senators followed, but the
measure was finally adopted by a vote
of 25 to 23.

SENATOR CLARK SHOWS
THE WORLD HE'S AWAKE.
Suddenly Resigned the Senatorship
While His Friend, the Lieutenant
Governor, Had the Reins
in Montana.

Senator W. A. Clark of Montana, has
made sharp move on the chess board
of American politics. Yesterday after
noon in the United States Senate SEN
ator Clark, in a well stage-managed
climax of long speech of vindication.
for himself, announced to the utter
surprise of the Senate, that he had
sent his resignation to the Governor of
Montana on May IL.
Il desire to state in retiring from
the Senate" said Senator Clark to the
Senators grouped around him, that L
have made some warm friends, whom
regret to leave" Then he went out
and held farewell reception in thes
lobby.
AT 6 o'clock last vening Senator Car
ter of Montana, received word that Mr.
Clark would be appointed Senator by
Lieutenant-G Governor Spriggs, of Mon
tana. This knowledge was kept from
the other Senators.
"Will you accept the appointment If
rendered you by the Leutenant-Gov-
ernor?" was asked of the Senator to-
night.
'Yes, if the Chief Executive of my
State, as the Lieutenant Governor now
is under the constitution of Montana,
desires me to occupy the seat in the
Senate which l have just vacated,
will accept it,"
'sWill the constitution of the State
of Montana permit the Lieutenant
Governor to make an appointment in
the absence of the Governor?'
KNOWS THE CONSTITUTION.
Eyes, the constitution of my State is
very plain on that subject, comforting
absolute power upon the acting Cover
nor. am quite familiar with the con-
stitution, as was President of the con-
vention which framed it. The section
says in effect THAT in the event OF the
death, resignation, failure to qua1ffy,
conviction OF infamous crime, impeach-
ment, absence from the State of the
Governor, or other disability, the duttes
and emoluments ,of the office shall de-
volve upon the Lieutenant -Governor."

THE QUAKER
C|TY'S STIR.
Republican Officials in Philadel-
phia Attempt Rascality.
AND GET THE BIG PLACE ALL AG0G
Director A. L. English ThoughtIessly
Turned the Light On a Rank Ad-
ministration BY Trying to
Silence John Wanamaker.

The sensational charges of attempted
blackmailing, preferred against Direc-
,or of Public Safety English by ex-
Postmaster General John Wanamal1er,
have aroused widespread comment in
the press of the country. In their edi-
torial columns the newspapers of
Philadelphia and other cities, almost
without exception, note the incident
to more or less extent, and in NO in
stance do they hesitate to denounce the
conduct accredited to Director English
by Mr. Wanamaker. The editorials
are interesting to Philadelphians, as
showing how the occurrence is viewed
by the outside public
The Baltimore American" under
the caption, "Muzzling the Press" ex-
presses itself regarding the charges
against Director English in the follow
ing pointed manner:
while the statement issued Friday
evening by Hon. John Wanamaker, in
which he accused the head of the
police and detective department of
Philadelphia of attempted blaIc1mail, is
of no immediate local interest, the gen.
eral effect of it must be felt all over
the country
There is nothing that can appeal to
reputable newspaper as being so
totally infamous as the course pur-
sued by the ally of Mayor Ashbridge
Mr. Wanamaker did perfectly right to
order the attempted blacl1mailer out of
his office; had the interview occurred
in the North Americans office the
man should have been unceremonious-
ly pitched into the street. AS the press
is the schoolmaster of the masses, so
it is the guardian of the public safety
Once the press is muzZled there is no
limit to which dishonest public officials
may not go in peculation and disregard
of the peoples rights. If the press of
the country would discharge the duty
that devolves upon it, it must watch
public officials, report their shortcom-
ings, and force them to an honest and
proper administration of the affairs
with which they are entrusted. To
submit for one moment to intimidation,
to yield to blackmail for an instant,
will forever destroy newspapers
power for usefulness. Mr.. Wanamaker
pursued the only course there was to
pursue by giving a complete record of
the infamous proposition made to him
to the public, and unless the public
officials of Philadelphia are constitu-
tionally derelict, the director of public
safety will be summarily removed from
office and buried beneath the public's
contempt"
The New York "Tribune" goes
straight to the point in calling atten
tion to the prevalence of blackmailing
in various cities. 1t says:-
philadelphia politicians have dis
covered that John Wanamaker lis mot
an easy man to call off. Some less
courageous or less consciously uprigh

men than he might have been inclined
to measure with discretion the forces
arrayed against him. They might have
stopped Ito think whether they were
called upon in duty to endure splashes
of mud and THE annoyance of false
hoods which many people might be-
lieve. Pleading the cause of the people
when the people themselves are often
too indolent to care for their own well
fare, even when they know they are be-
ing sacrificed, is thankless task ait
best. II 1T can be pleaded only at the

ships have been established as a line
10 transport beef and mutton between
Manila and Brisbane. Australia. These
ships are the Culgoa. the Celtic and the
Glacier. The first two. designed for
store ships. have had increased refrig
orator facilities added so as to special
ly fit them for their new duty. The
Glacier has always been refrigerator
ship. so it required no alterations.
The Celtic left Manila the last week
of October. 1t was to be followed by
the Culgoa. which in the meantime had
gone to HonGkouG for repairs to its en-
gincs. The latter ship in turn will be
followed by the Glacier. In this work
they will make trips on n ten day
apart schedule. The issue of fresh
meat daily is felt to be an important
factor in keeping up the strength Of
the troops in service in that unhcalth-
full country who are subjected TO so
much exposure.
1t has been found that the meat thus
bought can he carried TO the north line
