aminer prints an interview from Wads-
worth, New, with Governor Smith of
Montana, who is en- route from Califor-

ernor is quoted as follows concerning the
resignation and reappointment of Senator
Clark:
Il came to California on business and
never thought that such a scheme would
be Matched during my absence from my
executive duties, or ! would never have
left the chair in the power of the lieu
tenant governor. The trouble is the cause
of my early return. There is no way of
resenting this act, as the lieutenant gov
ernor is vested with the same rights as
the governor during the latter's absence.

Clark, but did not think he would be
guilty of such an act in the face of the
fact that not - per cent of the Mon

ROME, May 16.-The Italian chamber

an interval of several weeks since the

refused to participate further in the pro-
ceedings OF the chamber as n protest
against the decision of Signor Colombo.
president of the chamber, in upholding
the alteration of the rules of procedure
with view to preventing obstruction.
At that time they denounced Signor
Colombo's course as violation Of the
constitution. Today they persisted in an
equally uncompromising attitude.
Signor Giolitti proposed resolution in
the nature of compromise, but Signor
Pantano. on behalf of the Leftists, de-
clared that they would never yield until
respect for legality had been re-estab-
lished.

he accepted under the new rules.
The Extreme Leftists then demanded
a poll of the house to ascertain whether
a quorum was present.
The president Of the chamber refused
to grant this request, basng his refusal
upon the ground that the demand was
incompatible with the new regulations.
This provoked an uproar, and num-
Der of Leftists sang the Hymn to La
bor." The president was finally COM
PEELED to suspend the session. On its re-
sumption later he asked the chamber TO
approve the minutes of the last sitting.
The entire majority rose in support OF
the proposition, and Signor Colombo de-
clared the minutes approved.
The Extreme Leftists were furious,
shouted protests, banged their desks and
sang the "Garibaldi Hymn"
Amid this din the president adjourned
the session.

SCHWAN'S RETURN.
Gives an Account OF the situation In
the Philippines.

SAN FRANCISCO, May 16-Briga-
dier General Theodore Schwan. who has
been General Otis chief of staff in the
Philippines for nearly year. has ar
rived here from Manila on the transport
Thomas. He will remain in San Fran
cisco for short time awaiting orders
from Washington assigning him to duty
elsewhere. Concerning the situation in
the Philippines General Schwan is hope
full that II will not be many months be-
fore affairs will have naturally adjusted
themselves to the American control and
the robber gangs will have been stamped
out.
"The robber bands" said General
Schwan, care melted by native politicians
who impose on the credulity of the COM
mon herd No people are so credulous as
the lower class of the Filipnos. These
leaders have been melting the ex-soldiers
TO continue on the warpath, assuring
them that an American election was soon
coming and Mckinley would be defeated
and the Americans withdrawn from the
Philippines
"There are about 10000 troops in the
Philippines now. That number is ample
for the situation. The islands are well
covered with American troops. carefully
distributed TO all the strategic points and
each garrison responsible for its own
sphere of action. Many of the robber
bands are armed, principally with keen
edged bolos, the native weapon. They
pillage small towns and frequently cut
the throats of natives who have been
friendly to Americans. BY degrees, how
ever, the distributed garrisons are gain
ing the confidence of the townspeoplc
where they are stationed, and already
have succeeded in some cases in getting
native help to guide them to the robbers.
After the wet season and after the
national elections in this country the pac-
iiication of the Philippines will natural
ly complete itself. The natives are quick
ly acquiring the English language, and
even the troublesome class send children
to school to learn English. We are in
complete military possession of the is
lands. The only problem is the civil gov
ernment and that will come as a natural
consequence of the others. In year from
now there will be no necessity for nearly
so many men as we have there now."
