Senator Clark's Appoint
ment Revoked.

BUTTEE, MONT, MAY Ex-Governor
Smith today sent dispatches from here
to Senator w. A. Clark, Senator Chand-
Ter, chairman of the committee on pri-
vileges and elections, and Senator Frye,
saying that he had disregarded and re-
voked the action OF Lieutenant Governor
Spriggs in naming Mr.. Clark to succeed
to the vacancy caused by his own resig-
nation; and saying he had named Marlin
Maginnis of Helena, to fill the vacancy.
The governor gives as his reasons his
opinion that tho appointment of Mr..
Clark by the lieutenant governor was
tainted by collusion and fraud. The dis
patches are practically the same, that
to Mr.. Clark reading:
81 have this day disregarded and re-
voked your appointment as United
States senator made by Lieutenant Gov
ernor Spriggs on the 18th inst. as being
tainted with collusion and fraud, and
have this day appointed Hon. Marlin Ma
ginnis United States senator to fill the
vacancy caused by your resignation"
Those to Frye and Chandler were of the
same tenor, notifying them of his action.
The governor also sent a formal protest
to Chandler detailing his reasons He has
also issued an open letteI 10 Ihe people
of the state denying he had any knowl-
edge of the contemplated step when he
left Montana for California. He says he
went to California at the request Of
Thomas B. Kinds to look after teh title
of some mining property in which Miles
Finlen is interested. He owed Finlen
80 900 and thought that by going he Nigh:
earn a fee that would be applied on the
Indebtedness. "I shall prove by my con-
duct in the future" he concludes, that

any idea of wrong"
Miles Filen was one of the democrats
in the legislature who voted against
Clark. Miles Maginnies was delegate in
congress for the territory when Montana
became a state.

vent to their enthusiasm. At the music
halls, however, no one pretended to take
interest in anything not having military
color.
The Princess of Wales, the Duke and
Duchess of York and the ortuguese min

a box at Covent Garden, where "Lohen-

relief of Hafeking was announced they
joined heartily in the applause.

UNION REPUBLICAN
CONVENTION ON APRIL !
This Date Selected Yesterday
Since Anti.Addicksites Re-
fused Harmony.
CAMPAIGN AGAINST DEMOCRAT
Union Republicans Prepare to Prose-
cute it Vigorously, Committee
Knew of the Thirty Days No
tice When it Met on
February f3.
From The suns staff Correspondent.

Dover, Del, Feb. 22.-The Union Re-
publican State Convention, at which
delegates to the Republican National
Convention will be elected, will be held
in this town on Tuesday, April 8. The
primaries will be held on the Saturday
preceding.
At short session of the Union Re-
publican State Committee this date for
the State Convention was unanimously
selected. The Anti-Addicks Republicans
refused the opportunity for harmony,
which would have presented itself, had
the two Republican conventions met
here next Tuesday, and Union Repub-
licans, feeling sure that the Anti-Addicks
forces are insincere in all efforts to bring
about a unity Of the party, intend to
prepare for vigorous campaign against
the Democratic party.
The meeting OF the State Committee
today was we'll attended. The call al
ready promulgated for State Conven-
tion was not revoked. The date, how
ever, was changed from February 81 to
April 3. This action was made necessary
by the fact that the committee believed
it best to conform with the rule of the
Republican National Committee which
requires thirty days notice of the State
Convention. At the meeting of the
Union Republican State Committee, on
February ID, when the call for the Feb.
rnary 27 convention was promulgated,
the members of the committee were fully
aware of the National Committee rule as
to notice OF thirty days. The commit
tee, however, noted the fact thst the
Anti-Addicks Republicans had disre-
garded the rule and were anxious to
meet on the same day in an effort to
harmonize. The Union Republican Com.
mittes also recognized the fact that with
both conventions disregarding the thirty
days rule there would be no contestant
whatever.
The refusal of the anti-Addicks Re-
publican te.meet in an effort to unite the
party is considered clear declaration
that they do not desire unity. Ii union
could have been affec ed at all it GER
tainly could have been made possible at
the conventions which ale to select dele.
gates to the National Convention. That
convention is to nominate Presidential
candidate. There is no doubt that
Mckinley will be nominated. 1t is
merely a question of his election. With
this certainty before the members OF the
Union Republican convention and the
anti Addicks convention it does seem
that uuity might have been recorded at
the end Of that davis converting
But the Ant-Addcks Republicans
would not have it that way. They prefer
the defeat OF the Republican party in
New Castle county to union with the
Union Republicans In Kent county and
Sussex county where Union Republican
victory over the Democrats is certain to

cans think how foolish the Anti.Addicks
Republicans are in the upper comfy.

Ground.

In company with Great Senior Saga
more James II. McGlothen, of George
town, Great Sachem James Hargis of the
Improved Order of Red Men went to
Millsboro yesterday. During the visit of

When seen in this city last night
Sachem Hargis spoke encoragingly of the
pros oects OF lighting new counsel fire
i'll the small Sussex town. This promises
to be the greatest year Redmanship has
ever experienced in the State of Del
aware. Many new tribes have been
raised up with . good membership. The
number OF charter members in the pro-
posed Mlllsboro tribe promises good.
Although harmony seems stranger to
the political parties Of Delaware it exists
in great quantities in the Improved
Order Of Red Men Of Delaware. This
state OF affairs is due to the perseverance
OF Great Sachem liargis aud lis aides.
They work together and have already

MAXWELL DENIES
HE WAS A PARTNER
The Case OF Ellison 81 Sons VS.. Max
well Goes to the Jury This
Morning.

The case of John B. Ellison & Sons vs.
William J. Maxwell will 60 to the jury
in the Superior Court this morning.
The hearing of evidence was concluded
shortly before 5 O'Clock yesterday after
noon.
lt is expected that about an hour and
a half will be consumed by the attorneys
in closing addresses to the Jury.
This case was tried before but resulted
in a disagreement of the jury. l.. E.
Wales and Francis Fl. Hoffecker repre-
sent the plaintiffs and Judge J. Frank
the defendant. The plaintiffs are en-
deavoring to show that MIR. Maxwell
was partner of Thomas Stuart & Co. Of
Philadelphia, and obtain from him
about 81 600 which that firm owed the
plaintiffs.
The defendant, Mr.. Maxwell, who re-
sides 10 this city, took the stand yester-
day afternoon and denied positively that
he had ever been partner Of the firm of
Stuart u Co, but stated that he loaned
III, 100 to Mr.. Stuart for which he re-
celved judgment notes on which he was
to get & per cent. interest and as security
was also given life insurance policy for
$1,000 on Mr., Stuart's life which, how
ever, has since laracd.
Q. NJ. Stuart, son of Thomas Stuart.
who for time acted as bookkeeper for
Stuart 4 Co, and Lette G. Steigle, book
keeper Tor the same firm, testified that
Maxwell was NOT member of the
firm.
Thomas Stuart, himself, took the
stand and corroborated Mr.. Maxwell in
his Statements.
The plaintiffs contended that they had
given credit to Stuart < Co. heca,:se they
peileved that Maxwell was partner of
the firm and claimed that they were led
to this belief by ratings given by Brad
streets and Dun & Co.
Judge Ball moved fora non-suit on the
ground that the plaintiffs had failed to
prove that Mr.. Maxwell was member
OF the firm or represented himself as
such, or that the Stuart & Co., with
whom it was alleged lie was member,
was the same Stuart & Co. that owed
money to the plaintiffs.
