did not express any doubt that there had
been a lavish expenditure of money in
Clarks behalf and, while not condOning
this course, he spoke in terms Of strong
condemnation Of the tactics pursued by
some of Clark's opponents, referring es-
pecially to Congressman Campbell and
ex-senator Whiteside. He said that
whatever Clark's offenses, they We're but
little worse than the methods pursued Dy
Campbell and Whiteside in their efforts
to expose the senator and he insisted that
if the report was to be antagonistic to
Clark it should at the same time, relate
in full detail, the course pursued by the
two principal witnesses against him.
Pettus practically agreed with Harris.
Two senators also expressed some doubt
as to the justification of the conclusion
drawn by the majority of the committee
that Clark's candidacy for senator began
in Aug, 1898, when he returned to Butte
from New York. The effect of this con-
clusion was to charge UP the entire $780,
600 which Mr.. Clark confessed to having
expended, to his campaign for the senate.
while the contention was made, in Clark $
behalf, that he had not become candi-
date until after the state election thus
eliminating from the campaign in his in
dividual behalf the amount spent in the
general contest
McCOmas expressed himself as con-
vinced that the senatorial seat was III
view from the beginning. McCOmas,
however, united with the other senator's
in condemning the methods pursued in
prosecuting the case.

"Lions Led By Asses" :"

London, April 10-The Leader says:
1.-THE reports from Boer, as we'll as from
British sources, of our reverces near
the Bloemfontein railway, are truly
lamentable. They show a distinct lack
of care and leading. Lions led by asses
was an old description of the British
army, but we thought we had learned
something of late years n the commits
stoned ranks. What light does this war
throw upon that possibility?''

censure for sending a British column

There are many dispatches from the
southern half Of the situation. The cor
respondents have a confirmed habit OF
overstating the BOer force whenever any,
thing goes wrong. The estimates of the
Boer strength In the Thaba N'Chu. Lady

exaggerated and the Importance Of the

prior 10 the presidential election Of
next November, as follows: Oregon,
June 4; North Carolina, Aug. 2; Ala
bama, Aug.6; Arkansas, Sept. 3; Yer.
mont, Sept.4; Maine, Sept. 10, and
Georgia, Oct. g. The outcome in North

TO have much political significance.
The elections in Maine and Oregon
are usually watched with considerable
interest, however, for any hearing
they may have on the presidential
contest. The election in Oregon will
be awaited with more than usual
interest this year, because it comes
before both of the great national con-
veGtiOns. Oregon is normally Re-
publican state. 10 1896, however,
McKinley's plurality was Eli in a
vote Of 81, 1897, the gold Democratic
ticket receiving 977 votes and the
Prohibition ticket 9l9 votes. In 1898
the Republicans carried the state By
1914 plurality. The total vote cast
was considerably reduced, being only
S4,5l3. There was no gold Democratic
ticket. There was a middle OF the
