ing OF the Gray and Blue, an organiza-
ton composed of the ex-soldiers residing
in this county A delightful programme
has been arranged. and will include such
distinguished speakers as Gov A. d.
Gambler, Col. A. ]. West, Col. Harry
Burns Of Florida, and others.
Our little city is gaily decorated for the
occasion, and will be full of visitors, many
already arriving. These are notable gath
erings, made so from the fact that It is
the first organization of the kind in the
Union This colony is composed largely
OF c. A. R. veterans, and they are living
quietly and peaceably in this state along
with their former foes, who fought so gall
lantly under Lee One of the attractions
will be a camp fire." around which the

cur the election of brigadier general and

conclusion that Gen. r. +. Hartman of

position as he is the one man who has
done so much to advance the uniform
rank in Georgia. The present Grand
Lodge officers will doubtless be advanced
in their present order. They have all
made good officers, and show the order

condition.

sembly on the 18th day of January, 1899,
elected me to represent the state of Mon
tana in the Senate of the United States
for the term commencing on the fourth
day of March, 1899.
Under the authority of the credentials
signed by the Governor of the state, en-
tered upon the discharge of the duties Of
that position on the first Monday of last
December, after qualifying by taking the
oath of Office prescribed by law.
ION the fourth day of December, 1899
two memorials were presented TO the Sen
ate of the United States praying that my
right and title to continue to act as a SEN
ator under the credentials which certified
to my election should be investigated
These memorials with the accompanying
papers, were referred to a standing com
mittee of the body.
after a protracted investigation Of the
allegations of said memorialists, the COM
mittee has submitted its conclusion 10
the Senate, in which 1t finds the seat
which ! now occupy under the credentials
issued by authority of the vote taken in
the assembly of the Legislature on the
23th Gay of January, 1892 should be de-
clared vacant.
None of the charges effecting my per-
sonal honor, or which alleged that l had
personally been guilty of corrupt prac-
tees have been sustained by the finding
of the committee.
Conscious of the rectitude of my own
conduct, and after a critical examination
of all the evidence taken by the commit
tee; convinced that those friends who
were so loyal to me during chat bitter con-
test did not resort 20 dishonest or corrupt
means to influence the action of the mem
bers of the Legislature in their choice
of senator; YET l am unwilling to con-
tinue to occupy a seat in the Senate Of
the United States under credentials which
its committee has declared rests for their
authority upon the action of Legisla-
lure which was not free and voluntary in
its choice of a senator.
"Self-respect and due regard for the
opinion of my associates, and sense of
duty to the people of the state of Mon
tana, demand that I should return the
credentials under which l am acting as
one of the representatives in the Senate
of the United States, leaving the state
and her people to take such action as
will conserve and promote her best inter
ests in the national council
Influenced by these considerations, 1
deem it eu2inently proper, without unnec-
essary delay, 10 resign the position of
United States senator from the state of
Montana 10 which I was chosen by the
sixth legislative assembly of Montana, on
the 2Sth day of January 1899
with sentiments Of esteem, I remain,
respectfully yours, W. A. Clark"
The case, then on Mr.. Clark's request,
went over until tomorrow.
Mr.. Ross of Vermont urged his bill
regulating appointments and removals
from civil Offices in outlying dependencies.
MI Hale called attention 10 the mon
strous evils" which always have attend
ed a colonial policy.
The final vote on the District Of Column
bia bill was arranged for tomorrow. AT

Chapel over, che students went to the
lecture room. They were Mortified to find
that, instead of a less imposing member
of the faculty, they were met at the door
by DR.. H. C. White. the most august
professor in the institute. There was an
immediate hiding of pillows, and only one
student had the nerve to carry his cush-
