BY Associated Press.
Helena, Mont, Jan. 16.-W. a. Clark,
the Butte millionaire. was today elect
ed United States senator to succeed
Senator Thomas H. Carter. He re-
ceived 81 votes out of SO cast on the
first ballot and was declared elected.
The session took place in the Helena
Auditorium, which was crowded with
people, who, with the lawmakers,
cheered the announcement of the re-
suit.
Senator Clark was present. His
friends crowded about him. one of the
first to congratulate him being F. Au-
gustus Heinze.
Mr.. Clark was called forward and
made a speech. in which he referred to
the last campaign and to the campaign
of two years ago, and the investigation
in the senate. Speaking Of the investi-
CATION and of Sena tor Chandler of New
Hampshire. who was chairman of the
investigation committee, Mr.. Clark said:
'Nhe whole proceedings were de-
nounced by hundreds of eminent law
yers familiar with them as being un-
worthy of police court, and the record
of the high-handed. vicious and brow
beating tactics exercised by the chair
man of the committee will ever remain
a stigma and disgrace in the annals Of
the senate as judged by all fair minded
'It is gratifying to learn that he has
in his recent effort to be returned to the
senate been repudiated by the legislature
of his state by an overwhelming major
ity, rebuke more stinging but not more
emphatic than that recently pronounced
by the people of Montana.
1.-The disposition of this man, and that
Of myself by the people of Montana. is a
striking illustration of that theory which
has been aptly termed The irony OF
fate"
No one was elected for the short term
and balloting will be resumed tomorrow

of the dispute between Admiral

absolutely necessary that the environ
ment Of the two men prior to the Span
ish-American war aud their physical and
mental characteristics should be well un-
derstood.
Since the close of the Civil War in
1865, VI rather the end of the famous
naval attack on Fort Fisher, there has
been slowly developing in the national
navy two classes Of advocates or theor-
lists. Various tides have been applied
to these classes, but the two which seem
to apply the hest are those of sea dogs"
and "tact!cians." The first class has
been composed OF naval officers who pre-
fer sea to land duty; who hold that no
tactics can be devised that will meet the
exigencies of battle us well as sound
Judgment and cool daring on the part of
commanding officers; who believe naval
power is for action and not for mac

the right course-shoot first and explain

tactically at least, his "loop" was dam
serous and uncalled for proceeding. The
brooklyn was hit oftener than any other
American vessel, she suffered the only
loss of life. she was the first in the fight,
and, with the Oregon, last to quit.

Admiral Schley has always maintained
that his loop prevented the Vizcaya

intention to SO attack him, that he ex-
pected his vessel to be sunk, but took the
brunt Of the fighting, believing he could

Schley advising him that the Spanish
squadron was probably at Santiago, and
directing him, if he We're satisfied that it
was not at Cienfuegos, to proceed with
all dispatch to Santiago, aud upon ar
rival there to establish communications
with some of the inhabitants and ascer-
tain definitely whether the ships We're in
port or not. Schley received these dis
patches on May %.
According to the official records at
Washington On May % Sampson receiv-
ed adyices from key West that Cervera
was at Santiago on May n. Sampson,
therefore, on May %, left off his Havana
blockade and sailed for st. Nicholas
channel, intending to occupy that in such
Il manner as to prevent the approach OF
the Spanish squadron in that direction.
There he received information on May
"a that Cervera was still at Santiago.
On May 2G he heard from Schlcy to the
effect that the latter was not satisfied
that Cervcra was not in Cienfuegos har-
Dor, and that he would therefore remain
off that port. The Wasp was sent on
May % to Schley and from Sampson adj
vising him that daily confidential reports
stated that Cervera had been in Santiago
from May 10 to May %. He was order
ed to proceed to that port at once. Be-
fore Schley could reply to these orders
two dispatches from him to Sampson,
dated May %. were received by the lat
ter. Schley stated in these that coaIing
off Cienfucgos, owing to high seas, was
