washington. May Ex-senator Chandler
has given notice that he Will ask tho SEN
ate to take up the resolution concerning
the election of senator Clark of Montana
at O'Clock on Monday, but It now appears
probable that the resolution may go over
again. There is no understanding that
the consideration of this resolution snail
be controlled by the course OF SENATOR
Clark with reference to the presentation
NJ his credentials as a senator under his
appointment from the governor OF MOL
tana. bat SO far disposition has been
manifested to allow them to travel to-
gether. and it is now the understanding In
the senate that Mr.. Clark will not present
these credentials 1t is therefore, prooa-
BILE that the entire Clark matter may pe
indefinitely postponed for lack OF prosecu-
ton, and that no more may De heara OF

CLARK should change his mind and put ~
his credentials. SenaVor Chandler woulu

be made to nave the resolution bearing
upon Alr. Clarks original eleclloh rele re".
Mr.. Chandler indeed, may call up ths
resolution independently OF the creden-
tials and make a statement, presenting
the entire situation. II the case comes up
