HELENA, Mont. May 15.-Acting
Governor Spriggs tonight appointed
w. A. Clark, of Butte, United States
Senator to serve until the next legis-
lature shall elect his successor. SEN
ator Clark's resignation was filed early
in the day with the Governor and to-
night he was appointed by Governor
Spriggs to succeed himself
Governor Spriggs has all along been
a friend of Senator Clark, during his
candidacy for the Senatorship and
since, although he preserved the ut
most impartiality in his Office as lieu
tenant governor and president of the
Senate during the Senatorial cam
paign.
Governor Spriggs was besieged all
day by individuals and by delegations
friendly and hostile to Mr. Clark.
The opinion is expressed that Clark
having resigned before the Senate de-
clared his seat vacant, tne Governor
appointment will be recognized.
Governor Smith wired that he would
leave California to-day, but will ar
rive too late. Spriggs belongs to the
Clark faction while Smith is said to
be allied with the Dalyites. The de-
velopments have created a profound
sensation throughout the whole State.

CLARK RESIGNS.
Senator From Montana Gives Up His
Seaf-Reasons Assigned.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Mr Clark,
of Montana, fairly swept the Senate
with surprise to-day by a formal an
nouncement that he had sent his res
ignation as Senator to the Governor
of Montana
The announcement came without
previous notice and probably not a
half dozen persons in Washington
knew that it was to be made Mr..
Clark struck just at the instant the
iron was hottest. Mr.. Chandler, chair
man of the committee on privileges
and elections, had given notice that
at l o'clock he would call up for con-
sideration the resolution unanimously
reported from the committee declaring
Mr.. Clark not to be entitled TO his
seat in the Senate. A spirited con-
test over the resolution was expected.
Every Senator in the city was at his
desk
1T 1890, just as the routine business
was concluded, Mr.. Clark quietly rose
AMI addressed the chair. He desired,
he said. in low, tense voice, to address
the Senate on a question of privilege
personal to himself. Instantly there
was buzz of expectation in the cham
Der, Senators. from both sides of the
main aisle hurried to seats near Mr..
Clark and hush fell upon the assem-
blage as the Montana Senator began to
speak.
At first his words scarcely could be
heard, but as he proceeded his voice
become clear. and while at no time did
he speak loudly, the intense earnest
ness of his utterance carried his adj
dress to the remotest parts OF the
chamber.
His address speaks for itself. 1t was
a sharp arraignment of the commit
tees action and report, and analytical
discussion of the evidence adduced at
the investigation. an explanation of
political and business affairs in Mon.
tana, and a bitter exeoriation of Mar
Gus DAILY and his friends.
AS Mr.. Clark adyerted TO his desire
to hand down 10 his children a name
untarnished even by the breath Of dis
grace, tears welled to his eyes and his
voice trembled with emotion He al
most broke down. Then bracing him-
self he read the letter he had sent To-
the Governor of Montana rendering his
resignation. At the conclusion of the
speech. Mr.. Clark became the centre of

SENATORIAL OPINIONS.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-Senators
generally declined to express opinions
upon the effect of the appointment OF
Mr.. Clark by the Lieutenant Governor
OF Montana, saying the problem was
too new for them to discuss; that in
vestigation would De necessary. Sen
atOr Chandler, chairman of the COM
mittee on privileges and elections,
would only say when informed of the
appointment: Il reckon the trick won t
work" Senator Hoar, second member
of the committee in rank, would not
consent 10 express any opinion at all.
Senator McComas, a Republican
member of the committe said:
IF the report of the appointment is
true apparently the case would depend
upon the fate of the pending resolu-
ton reported. by the committe on Priv
ilegeS and Elections in the Clark case.
If that resolution should be passed
it would be~a judgment of the Senate
to the effect that the seat was vacant
from the beginning of the term and
we should then have in the Clark case
substantially a repetition of the Quay
case. If the resolution should not
pass then the appointment of Mr. Clark
would be the filling of a vacancy occas-
Toned by his resignation and would be
quite the ordinary case of filing a va
cancy by executive appointment"
Senator Frye, president pro tenn of
the Senate said that under the present
conditions a vacancy existed. He had
ordered Mr.. Clarks name stricken
from the roll on the statement that he
had resigned If Senator Clark pre-
sented credentials in due form he
would be sworn in unless objection
was made.

CUBAN POSTAL FRAUDS
Occupied the Attention of the Cab
met OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES of Boer
DeIepnfes.

WASHINGTON, May 15.-The Cuban
postal frauds were practically the only
subject of discussion at to-day's cab
met meeting. No late news has been
received which throws any additional
light on the situation and it is not
expected that anything conclusive will
be known until the experts now on
their way to Havana have concluded
their investigation and made their re-
port.
The suspension of Postmaster
Thompson was a great surprise to the
President and the members of the cab
met and none of them believe that he
is guilty Of the least wrongdoing. 1t
is assumed that Gen. Wood had come
to the conclusion that until the mat
ter of these frauds had been thoroughly
investigated it would be best to tenn
porarily suspend all or the officials " ho
were in positions where they might
have had knowledge, guilty or other
wise, of what was going on.
The cabinet also discussed the re-
ception to be accorded the Boer deie
cation which has just arrived in this
country. The decision was not to make
any unnecessary technical points
against the delegates, but to treat lfeul
with as much liberality as is possible
without breach of the diplomat tic
proprieties. Thus, if they have any
credentials, the delegates will be af-
forded an opportunity to present them
to the State Department. 1t is said
that there is precedent for this line of
action.

Little other business of Importance was
transacted. The resolution relating to
Mr.. Clark went over until tomorrow,
and the Senate proceeded TO the transac-
ton of routine business
The letter in part. was as follows:
None of the charges affecting my
personal honor, or which alleged. that
had been personally guilty of corrupt
practices, have been sustained by the
finding of the committee.
Conscious of the rectitude of my own
conduct, and after a critical examination
of all the evidence taken by the commit
tee, convinced those friends who were so
loyal to me during the bitter contest, did
not resort to dishonorable or corrupt
means to influence the action of the men,
bers of the legislature in their choice of
Senator; yet am unwilling TO continue
to occupy a seat in the Senate of the
United States under credentials which its
committee has declared rests for their
authority upon the action of legislature
