The proceedings OF the Senate COM
mittee on privileges and elections in
the case of Senator Clark Of Montana
Tuesday dealt with the bank accounts
Of some of the members Of the Mon
tana Legislature. One of these accounts
was that of Representative Stephen
Bywater OF Flathead county, who de
posted $4,000 in the Bank of Mon
tana at Helena on the Bird Of last
March, after the adjournment Of the
Legislature. Mr.. Bywater was put on
the stand. He said that he had brought
$4,000 Of this sum to Helena with him
and kept 1t in his trunk all winter.
while 5000 had been received from
his brother as purchase money on a
sale of mining stock. He declared that
he had not received any pay for his
vote for Mr.. Clark for the Senate, but
said that Mr.. Whlteside had told him
that he could get 5000 for supporting
Mr.. Clark, but he refused 1t.

In securing efficient men to fill the VA
cancies In his branch of the service.
Although the standing strength of the
signal corps Is less than 1000 officers
and men, more than sixty vacancies
exist. The difficulty In making enlist
ments is probably due to the rigid re-
quirements and low pay. Privates and
non-commissIoned officers receive the
pay of corresponding rank In the In
fantry. 1t is not so difficult to secure
second-class privates, because they
need not be telegraph operators. 1t
will be readily seen that the salaries.
ranging from that OF second-class pri-

induce competent operators to enlist.

STATE WINS.
Jim Grow" Car Law Sustained
by Supreme Court.

The case Of Joseph Smith against
the State Of Tennessee, known as
the "Jim Crow" ear case, has been
disposed of in the Supreme Court.
The case was dismissed on stipula-
ton of counsel and the costs as
sessed against Smith. The case
reached the Supreme Court on ap-
peal from a decision of the Tennes-
see court, by which Smith, who had
been a conductor on the st. Louis
division of the l.. & N, was fined
$25 for permitting negroes to ride
in the compartments of the railway
coaches reserved for the whites.
Smith contended that the negroes
were through passengers, and that
the case being one of interstate
travel he had no right TO move them.
The whole court agreed to the mo-
tion for dismissal and a mandate
was issued to the State courts.

A. Clark's legislative tickets win
over both Republicans and Daily
Democrats in Butte, Helena and
Great Falls, which will give him a
majority on joint ballot in the Leg

seems beyond all doubt. For the
first time in its history Butte has
repudiated Daily, every nominee on
the Clark ticket having a majority
over all, while in Helena the Re-
publicans were only able to elect
one District Judge. Eastern Mon

Wheeler's majority over Keys,
Populist, in the First, is but a few
hundred short of 5000. Wheeler
carried the counties of Ballard,
Galloway, Carlisle, Fulton, Graves,
Livingston, Lyon and Marshall.
Keys carried the counties of Cald-
well, Crittenden, McCracken and
Trigg.
In the Second district Allen wins
over Lynch by $500 in round num-
bers. Lynch carried only the coun-
ties of Christian and Hancock.
Rhea had a warm race with Nc
Kenzie Moss in the Third, and un-
til after midnight the result seemed
to be IN doubt. However, the later
returns indicated a safe majority
for Rhea. 1t is believed his ma
jority will be in the neighborhood of
I1,OOO.
Dave Smith won handily from

will exceed 5000
Irwin wins over Gregory in the
Fifth by 1851.
In the Sixth Gooeh proved an easy
winner with a majority over Shaw
of about 5,00o.
South Trimble gallOped into Con-
Igress from the Seventh, beating
Stoll by nearly 5000 votes.
In the Eighth Gilbert defeats
Williams by upward of 1000. The

Pugh's seat IN Congress as the Re-
representative of the Ninth district.

Beckham Is Safe.

Louisville, KY, Nov. 8.-Ad-
ditional returns from all the
counties leaves no doubt of the cleo
tion of Beckham by about 5000
votes. With only two missing
counties, which are reported to have
given 329 for Yerkes, Beckham's
majority is 4,06S and Bryan's
1874.
Returns are missing from forty
other voting precincts scattered
over the State. These missing
precincts are so divided politically
ths+ retGrns can not change
Il materially alter the
plurality.
In spite of the returns, the Repub-
licans continue to claim the State,
and are preparing to do everything
possible to make their claims good.
Telegraphic orders have been sent
out to nold up the official returns of
number of Republican counties.
1t is apparent, however, to every
body else that the plurality of
Beckham can not be overcome, and
at Republican national head
quarters no weight is attached to
the claims of the Kentucky Republi-
cans.
Granting that Nebraska has
gone Republican, which now seems
apparent, and that Idaho is Demo-
cratic, though its vote is not fully
returned, Mckinley will receive 292
votes in the Electoral College and
Bryan 155. -Four years ago the
vote was 271 to 176. The next high.
est vote ever received by a presi.
Dental candidate was 26S for Cleve,
land in 1892.
The Republicans claim from zoe
to 204 members of the next House oi
Representatives. The Democrats
claim they will have at least LOT
members, thus eonCeding the Re-
publicans not over 100. The Re
publicans, however, are basing
their claims 'on "four close dis
tricts" In Kentucky, evidently
meaning the Third, Eighth, Ninth
and Tenth, which have gone Dem
ocratic and are conceded by the
Associated Press.
The new Senate will consist oi

dents, with three Legislatures,
