CHANDELIERS PARTING SHOT.
At the night session of the Senate on

Az tuo uiS w eCoeiou Va eno Ssn"s~ va
Saturday, Mr.. Chandler spoke on the
resolution heretofore offered by himself
declaring that Hon. w. A. Clark, OF
Montana, had not been duly elected
TO the Senate. Ia his speech Mr..
Chandler quoted from an address made
by Mr.. Clark in Montana last January,
in which Mr. Chandler was criticised 10
connection with the Senate investiga-
ton of Mr.. CIark's former election.
Mr.. Chandler being the chairman CT
the COMM tee on privileges and cleo
tious by which the inquiry was made.
MIR, Chandler declared that Clark's
vacation of bis seat was a virtual con-
fession OF the justice of the decision OF
the committee. II, be said, Clark had
peen innocent, he would have remained
for the Senafe's continued inquiry.
His fight fixed a stigma OF criminal
ity upon Mr.. Clark which can never be
blotted out" Mr.. Chandler said.
Mr.. Pettus replied briefly to Mr..
Chandler, ssying that Mr.. Chandeliers
speech was untimely, and that 1t was
a spectacle calculated to teach q SD
lesson. "lf," he said, "a man iDjurfs
another it causes him to hate that mar,
for every time be sees that man he
feels mean, and be charges the feeling
to the man he has wronged. Il is
terrible picture we have bad here to-
night; let US turn away from it and pass
3D."
Responding to this sally, Mr.. Cbana.
Ter said he had simply joined with Mr..
Pettus 10 verdict that Mr.. Clark
should not be given a seat 10 the Sen
ate because he had been guilty of bri-
berv.
Mr.. Jones, OF Arkansas, presented
the credentials OF Hon. w. A. Clark,
which we're received and placed on file.

SHOCKED 10 DEATH

A workman at the Pan-Amerfcan
Exposition Genes Into Contact
with Live Wfre-Others Burned.
BUFFALO. N. Y. May ls.-One man
was shocked to death by electricity and
two of his companions, who tried to
rescue him from the spluttering wires
were severely burned at the Pam Amer
lean exposition grounds to-day. The
dead man is Martin Kiefig.
The injured:
Razimis Stromplewiz.
Andrew Kosizki.
The men were engaged in wheeling
dirt from beneath the manufacturers
and liberal arts building, where some
excavation is being done From burns
found on Kiefig's face, it is evident that
he was first struck by live wire. The
shock stunned him, and in falling for
ward, he grasped several other wires
and pulled them from their fastenings.
Kiefg's comrades rushed to his assist
ance, and their hands and arms were
frightiully burned in their endeavors TO
relase him. When the current was
shut off it was found that Kiefig was
dead. and the other two men were I'M
conscious. They were removed to the
hospital. wher it is said their condi-
ton is serious.
