MEETS WITH OPPOSITION.
Senator Clapp Will Have to Make a
Fight for e-Election.

Senator Moses z. Clapp of Minnesota is
not likely to pe in his seat in-the Senate
before February. His friends expect him
to arrive here about the first of that
month, when he will know whether he is
to be senator again or not. He has a fight
on over his reelection with chances of
wipring said to be in his favor, but the OPP
position is serious enough to make it nee
sary that he should stay in Minnesota
until the legislature has acted.
When Senator Clapp came here as the
successor of Senator Cushman K. Davis
his election was the result of a compro-
mise, so that he still has the divided fac
items in his state to contend with in his
pursuit OF a second term. When he was
first elected he went into the convention
with over forty members of the legislature
behind his candidacy, while sixty votes
were necessary for election. A deadlock
was threatened and at critical moment
several of the Tawrey delegates went over
to third candidate.
There was Indignation in the Tawney
camp. and some of the delegates went so
far as to cry treaehery. In that moment of
Indignation. In order to defeat what ap-
peared to some of them to be an attempt
to stampede the legislature for the third
candidate. the Tawney men went over TO
victorious.
Now that the time for re-eiecting a sena-
tor has arrived there Is a realignment OF
the forces Of the Minnesota legislature and
in the republican senatorial caucus, with
Judge Gilnilin at the head of the faction
that seeks to defeat Clamp. Gilfillin has
behind him the neapofs delegates, and
they are working hard to bring about the
defeat of Clapp.
z The Minnesota legislature will meet on
the frst Tuesday after the FIRST Monday
IN January. About that time the republic
can natorials caucus will be held. ana q

Wade Banking Institution Preparing a
Financial Statement.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, December 1.-When
the receivership case brought by Herbert
Newton of Brookline. Mass, against Mrs
Cassie L. Chadwick, was called in common
pleas court today Attorney Carr of the law
firm of Carr, Chamberlain & Stearns, rep
resenting the plaintiff, requested the court
to again postpone the hearing, Judge Bab-
cock granted the request, with the consent
of counsel for Mrs. Chadwick, and the hear
ing was fixed to take place at $50 am
next SATURDAY..
The action is taken, it is understood as
a result of negotiations which 1t Is said
will probably result in settling the claim of
Mr.. Newton out of court.
Ira Reynolds, secretary and treasurer of
the Wade Park Banking Company, who is
reported to have securities In his possession
belonging to Mrs. Chadwick to the value
of from $750.0O0 to 81 600 900. stated today
that If the Newton claim should be settled
the other claims would doubtless be liquf-
dated within a few days at the most Mr.
Reynolds again declined to make any state
ment concerning the bonds. stocks or notes
alleged to be In his possession, owned by
Mrs. Chadwick.

tuition. Mr.. Reynolds declared today that
this statement would show the bank In
first-class condition. and also that the in
debtedness of Mrs Chadwick to it to be
only about $4,000. This Indebtedness, 1t is
said is secured by collateral of undoubted
value and more than ample to cover the
claim of the hank

Russia,s Conditional Accordance.

Official announcement was made at the
State Department today of Russia's condi-
tional acceptance of the American govern
ment's invitation to join the other powers
at The Hague for a second peace confer
ence. Russia's suggestion for postpone
ment of the congress to the close of the
war with Japan must necessarily delay
further steps for the present for the reason
that not only Is it desired that Russia shall
participate in this conference, but because
several powers might be unwilling to at
tend the conference If Russia were not rep
resented.

THE BURTON APPEAL
SOLICITOR GENERAL HoYT AR
CUES FOR THE GOVERNMENT.
Claims That the Jurisdiction Of the
Supreme Court Cannot Be Success
fully Questioned.

Solicitor General Hoyt of the Department
of Justice today in the United States Su-
preme Court made the argument for the
government in the appeal Of United States
Senator J. r. Burton of Kansas against
conviction Of violating the United States
statutes. Mr.. Hoyt eoatended that this was
an ordinary criminal case, and that the
questioning of the jurisdiction OF the court
which tried Mr.. Burton could not be sue
cessfully maintained. Mr.. Hoyt said Mr..
Burtons name appeared on the Rialto Com
pany's circulars, but ct what time he could
not say. 49,
Justice White replied that as the depart
rnent was investigating the case the time
seemed very material. ~
Mr.. Hoyt argued that Senator Burton
knew just what he was doing when he ac-
cepted service with the Rfalto Company. He
should perform such services as was re-
quired of the defendant by the company,
but that when he accepted fee "he COM
pleted the fatal chain-'
Replies to the Defense.
Mr.. Hoyt discussed the claim of the de-
fense that the charge was an Infamous
crime" instead of s.misdemeanor, and
therefore that the defense should have ten
instead of three challenges. He claimed
that the contention of the defense was not
valid -. -.-s-
Justice White asked If he did not realize
that the penalty carried disqualification
of the accused, debar him from citizenship
and forever put stigma upon him.
Mr.. Hoyt maintafned that the statute
made the offense a misdemeanor.
Judge Dillon's Argument.
Judge Dillon, counsel for Burton, occupied
the time of the court until adjournment
yesterday. He was frequently interrupted
by questions from the bench, nearly all the
justices asking for information on one point
or another. Judge Dillon maintained that
the United States was not party In in
terest in the cases In which Senator Burton
appeared in the Post Office Department.
Justice Harlan asked if the United States
was not interested In protecting its mails
against fraud, to which Judge Dillon re-
piled that the United Statesw was no more a
party to such cases than it was to all other
governmental business, and that it was
clearly the intent of the law that the
United States should be interested, as it
would be interested inr case of claim
against it.
Senators Culberson and Mitchell were in
court during part of the argument.

GOLD FOR JAPAN.
It is Assumed That Shipment is in
View

An inquiry has been received at the
Treasury Department from one of the lead
ing banks of San Francisco as to the terms
at which gold bars could be supplied from
the mint there. This is taken to mean that
gold exports from that city are contem-
plated, something which is very unusual
The gold movement is usually in the other
direction, Australian gold coming in at San
international balances. Several years ago,
when Japan was putting her monetary re-
forms into operation, there were some ex-
ports of gold from San Francisco, and it is
assumed that the contemplated export to-
day is intended for Japan.
