Taylor, % years old, a baseball player,

stayed in the room during the daytime,

window for many hours, rifle in hand,

CHANDLER ATTACKED CLARK
LAST DAY OF THE SENATE.
Charges Bribery Against Cnrx-.snys
lie Spent N Million DOlIars-Chan-
dler Was Rebuked by senator
Pettus.

Washington, March At the Satnr.
day night session OF the senate Senator
Chandler called up the resolution offered
by himself declaring that William A. Clark
or Montana had not been duly elected to
the senate and was preparing to speak
upon it when Senator Allen suggested the
absence of a quorum. Twenty minutes
were required to secure the attendance of
a majority of the members of the senate
Senator Chandler offered a substitute
for the original resolution, reciting Sena-
tor Clark's former retirement from the SEN
ate In his speech Senator Chandler
quoted from an address made by Senator
Clark in Montana last January in which
Senator Chandler was criticized in con-
nection with the senate investigation of
Mr. Clark's former election, Senator
i Chandler being chairman of the commit
tee on privileges and elections by which
the inquiry was made.
! Senator Chandler declared he had done
nothing to warrant Mr. Clark's criticism
and he quoted the report made by himself
and also the majority of the committee
to substantiate this statement. He de-
clared that Mr.. Clarks vacation of his
seat was a virtual confession of the JUS
tice of the decision of the committee. If,
he said, Clark had been innocent he would
have remained for the senate's inquiry.
"His flight fixed a stigma of criminal
ity upon Mr.. Clark which can never be
blotted out" said Senator Chandler.
Senator Chandler declared that Mr..
Clark had spent 81 100000 in his last cleo
ton. but said he had followed the plan of
corrupting voters before the November
election rather than to wait the meeting
of the legislature to spend his money. He
said the facts could be ascertained if the
senate desired to make an investigation.
He charged a gross, deliberate and will
full violation of the Montana statute pro-
viding that returns should be made of
campaign expenditures. To his mind the
inference was clear that Senator Clark
had secured his election by corrupt prac-
tees and it would be astonishing if a man
could be admitted to a seat in the senate
when he had once been convicted of brib-
cry.
Senator Chandler submitted statement
giving in detail his estimate of the eX-
penditures made by Mr.. Clark in his var
ious campaigns, placing the aggregate fig
ure at $2,O59,S5O.
Senator Pettus briefly replied to Sena
tor Chandeliers speech, saying it was un
timely and was a spectacle calculated tc
teach bad lesson.
"If," he said, "a man Injuries another il
causes him to hate that man, for every
time he sees that man he feels mean and
charges the feeling to the man he has
wronged. 1t is a terrible picture we have
had here tonight; let us turn away from ii
and pass on
Responding to this sally Senator Chand'
Ter said he had simply joined with Sena-
tor Pettus in a verdict that Mr.. Clark
should not be given seat in the senate
because he had been guilty of bribery.
Senator Jones of Arkansas presented the
credentials of Senator w. A. Clark, which
were received and placed on file

New York, March Airs. Henry
Wortansky of Secaucus, N. Y, smashed

found her husband in the saloon and when
he refused to come out she went into the
road and gathered up all the stones she
could carry. Then she walked up to the
windows and with two throws smashed all
the glass in front. The windows gone, the
next attack was on the mirrors behind the
bar, and these were quickly demolished.
Bottles of whisky and other liquors met
similar fate. Accidentally or purposely
stone struck the proprietor on the head.

London March S.-Private information
received in London confirms the rumors
of negotiations between Lord Kitchener,
Sir Alfred Miner and Commandant Gen
eIal Louis Botha. Nothing is known as
to the actual presence of the Boer com
mander in chief at Pretoria and no Lon
don paper publishes statement that he
General Botha is in either Pretoria or in
close touch with Lord Kitchener
Sir Henry Campbell made
an effort to extract some information
from the government on the subject in
the house of commons. The Associated
Press is informed that Sir Alfred Miner
has gone to Pretoria with the object of
assisting Lord Kitchener in these negotia-
tons, the length of which appears to be
due to General Botha's desire to consult
with Acting President Schalkberger at
Petersburg and to make terms applying
to the whole Boer forces, but initiating
against this is Lord Kitchener's doubt as
to General Botha's ability to control Gen
eral Dewet and other leaders, as well as
the internal opposition General Botha is
encountering.
The great financial firms whose inter
ests in South Africa are almost equal
to those of the government believe from
their private advices that the present sit
uation is likely to result in the surrender
of General Botha and the forces under
his immediate command, while the other
Boer units will remain in the field.

Vice President Roosevelt
Standing upon a spot hallowed by his

distinguished assemblage, Theodore Roose-

office of vice president
The historic senate chamber, superb in
its white and gold beauty, was without
decorations of any kind Not even the
Stars and Stripes were displayed official
ly, although, as the last words of the
oath of office fell from the lips of the
stern yisaged, silver haired senator from
Maine, and Vice President Roosevelt fer
vently clasped his hand, the galleries were
splashed with the national colors, many
silken hand flags huttering breezily among
hundreds of handkerchiefs.
AS the new vice president dropped the
hand of Senator Frye he glanced upward
at his wife, seated in the executive gall
lery. She was the first of whom he
thought in this momentous hour, and to
her ne looked for inspiration.

and man of letters and of affairs faced
the United States senate for the first time
as its presiding officer.

president into office was noticeable. The

fully executed.

Grafton Along the line OF march from

avenue there was scarcely house front
that was not almost hidden from view by
red, white and blue bunting. The stands
that had been erected from which to re-
view the parade were more highly finished
than on any previous occasion.
Being the work of the inaugural COM
mittee, they were uniform in character
and their white fronts and yellow facing
acted as a foil to the brilliant display of
the national colors on the house fronts
around them. The whole route of the
parade was a gorgeously patriotic sign,
but it was at the court of honor, con-
structed on Pennsylvania avenue, between
ruth and Seventh streets, that the decora-
tors fairly surpassed in pretty and effec-
i've decoration anything ever before seen
here in street ornamentation on large
scale. Here the scene rivaled that of an
Italian carnival display of the era of the
Medici. No other public thoroughfare in

ment buildings.
