curities.

day adopted the motion of Hoar to take
up the resolution of the committee on
elections declaring that Clark of Mon
tana was not duly elected 10 the senate.
and then postponed consideration of the
question for week.
The army appropriation bill, after
rather spirited debate, was passed with
out division. The day closed with the
passage of a number of private pension
bills, including bills to pension Mrs. Julia

Clark Cnse Over for n Week.
The senate today agreed to mo-
tion by Hoar to take up the
resolution declaring that w. A.
Clark was not duly elected to the senate
from the state of Montana. and then, in
accordance with Hoar's further sugges-
tion, proposed further consideration of
the subject until one week from today.
Spirited Controversy Over 1t.
Before this agreement was reached
there was a spirited controversy over
some remarks made by Chandler yester-
day. Bacon took exception 10 the fact
that Chandler had said that he had heard
II stated that there was purpose to de-
lay the consideration of the resolution In
order to prevent the governor of Mon
tana making an appointment OF a sena-
tor to succeed Mr.. Clark In case the seat
now occupied by him should be declared
vacant. AS for himself he could not say
what his own action would be on the
Clark resolution. He regarded himself as
a Judge sitting In that case, and he
would, no said, claim the right to inves-
tigate it thoroughly before entering
judgment.
Stewards Threat to Delay Action.
Chandler said that his remarks regard
ing a desire to delay the consideration of
the resolution had not been called out
by anything that Bacon had said. but
that he had had especial reference to
Stewarts threat TO read in the senate.
If not given time to read out OF II. the

Stewart said he had made no such state

would repeat. that II time was not given
to read the testimony outside the senate
chamber. time would be taken 10 read II
In the chamber.
The case should he considered deliber-
ately and decently, and especially in view
Of the fact that much OF the testimony
was irrelevant. It WAS not unreasonable
to ask FOR time for investigation.
