The Clark investigation.


Washington Feb. 12-State Senator
Tierney, of Montana, continued his
testimony in the Clark case before the
senate committee on elections Monday.
He said he had never been asked toll
vote for Mr.. Clark for the United States
senate and had therefore never been
offered any consideration for his vote
for that gentleman.
He gave details of the organization of
the Townsend bank, in which he had
stock, and explained where he obtained
the money for it.
Mr.. Tierney said that the $500 which
he had put into the organization of the
new bank at Townsend had been kept
in the safe of Darsey g. Co., where it had
been put in preference to putting it in
the bank of Hyatt & Delanty, the only
bank then existing at Townsend. OF
| the $500 drawn out in this transaction
| not to exceed $4,000 had been entered
upon the books of the firm. He had
| taken it out because it was his. Very
| often, however, these deposits were put
| into the general cash fund of the firm
| In response to a question from Senator
Chandler the witness said that notwith
standing he knew there were aspersions
cast upon his character because of hi:
vote for Mr., Clark he had brought ne
j paper of any kind with him to show
i whence the $500 used in organizing
the Townsend bank had come. Thu

vious to the time of its actual organiza

execution because of the difficulty O
getting the money together. Some Q

Washington. Feb. la.--.Nt The opening
of the senate Saturday Senator Allen
presented the following:
THAT the United States Of America ex-
tends its sympathy to the people CT the
South African republic in their heroic
struggle for liberty and popular govern
ment, and believes it to be the duty CT the
government of the United States OF Amer
lea TO offer mediation to the end that fur
Their b.oodshe6 be a 'erted, and al honor
able peace may lie concluded between the
beligerent governments"
Resolution Adopted.
No objection was made to the con-
sideration of the resolution, only about
dozen senators being present. Be
fore anybody realized what was going
| on the resolution was put to vote and
| declared adopted.
Senators looked from one to another
and several, among them Senator Allen,
laughed unrestrainedly
| Senator Pettus (Ala.), addressing the
chair Senator Frye, demanded the
yeas and nays.
To this Senator Allen objected, as the
resolution had been declared adopted.
/
The chair agreed to this point, but
asked Senator Allen that he permit the
vote 10 be reconsidered and let the
resolution go over. To this Senator
| Allen consented.
Speaks on Financial Bill.
Senator Chandler IN. H.) was then
| recognized to deliver AN address upon
| the pending financial biz, which was
laid before the senate. He said in
| part:
| "Those who have absorbed the gold of
| the world are trying to make it more vail
liable by legislation. That is the natural
| meaning of the first ten lines of the sem
| ate bill. There is no need of the law for
| any other object. Absolutely no other
| purpose is to be subserved by those lines.
| The passage of the bill without adequate
| recognition of the desire and determination
| of the American people that silver shall
| be remonetiZed is defiance of the rcpub-
| lican platform of 1896, and without such
| recognition in the bill l cannot give to
| il my vote. 1t would be unqualified gold
| monometallism. and to advocate or sub
nit to this is abandonment of republican
| principles
| In conclusion Senator Chandler said: 1T
| we are true to our traditions and to the
| wishes of our constituents, we shall reflect
| our gracious and patriotic president by
popular and electoral majorities greater
than any president has ever received. Car
| we afford by the passage of the needless
| first ten lines of this bill, without sufficient
qualification, to add to the chances of his
| defeat2"
Senator Chiffon tTeN.) opposed the
| pending measure. He declared it rep.

4 tion and llrped that the bill would de.
! stroy all prospects of bimetallism.

attributes His l. longevity to His Daily
Habit of Sun Bathing.
There is one man in the land for
whom age has no terrors. He is An
drew J. Thompson, aged 113, of Santa
Rosa, CAL, and this interesting indi-
Vidual recently arrived at Weyerhau-
ser, Wis, accompanied by his grand
sons one aged 81 and the other So, to
attend the wedding of his granddaugh-
ter. The aged Californian is wealthy,
having made large fortune in Cali
fornia gold properties in the early
days. He is we'll educated, having been
trained as doctor in Edinburgh, from
which city he took his departure for
the United States with several others,
now all dead, in 1909. It is not stretch
ing the truth to assert that Mr.
Thompson appears about 65 years of
age, writes correspondent He stands
as straight as pine, has square
shoulders and his face is full and
round. His grandsons say that he is
able to run a mile in six minutes, and
he himself believes that he will live
another century. The secret of his
longevity, Mr.. Thompson says, is sun
bathing. Since he ceased active bust
ness 80 years ago he has never let a
day pass without barring his body to-
the suns rays. He says: con my place
IN California have an inclosed space
where am free to go as naked as Cod
made me without being seen by any
human eye. There is a little lake and
some woodland and rose garden, and
during the time of my sunbath I
ramble about through the paths as in
nocent of adornment as was Adam in
the Garden of Eden. The sun sinks
into my old bones and gives them new
life. My skin is as brown as an In
