Tho report called attention to the need of having tho tlnnnco committee very carefully study the several university fundH, nil of which threaten to be considerably short, In order to know how to best make use of these funds in order to supply tho Imperative needs in the several departments. It was nlno urged that a committee, probably the amo one, should make ii careful Investlga tlon as to whero help Ih most needed In tho different department of tho university. 9 was MUggcHted that tho regents should take action In regard to tho expenditures of de partmentH in order that tho work of each dc partment xhould certainly bo done, even though tho appropriation!) bo somewhat re duced.

As thu voto was about to bo taken on tho committee amendment Teller offered tho fol lowing substituto for It: Ilrltlsh covcrnmcnt Tho fact that tho flour seized had been released was published. Tho correspondence begins with tbo re port of Consul General fc'towo, located at, Capetown, mado on December G, and rent ing to tho detention of tho Ilrltlsh rhlp Mtrla and the seizure of the Ilrltlsh ship Mashonn, nnd also the Beatrice, all carry ing American Hour nnd other foodstuffs for tho Transvaal. Theso acts were brought to the notice of Ambassador Chonto by Secretary Hay on December 21. when tho latter was Instructed to "bring tho matter to tho attention of tho Ilrltlsh government and to Inqulro as to tho circumstances and legality of the solzure." Ho added: It It was Illegal you will request prompt action and restitution." Consul Ilollls, at I.ourenzo Mnrques, was Instructed nt tho same time "to uso nil proper efforts to uro tcct the property of American shippers." Mr. Choates first note, dated January 1, relates to tho American flour on tho Mn shona, and he says In this that tho vessel was brought Into tho prlzo court "on the charge of trading with the enemy." On January 2 Mr. Choate was Instructed by Mr. Hay to the effect that ho should "represent tho views of this government to bo that unless It can be shown that tuo goods wero contraband It does not regard them as subject to capturo under the clr cumstanccs presented." On January 4 Choato reported n conference with Lord Salisbury, who, ho said, claimed that the Maria and the Mashona bad been seized for violation of tho municipal laws of Grcut Britain, tho selzuro being merely an Incidental matter, and that Ixird Sails bury know nothing of the Beatrice. On the 10th of that month Choate trans milled particulars concerning the attitude of tho Ilrltlsh government, snylng that Lord Salisbury did not claim that nny of tho Amorlcan goods seized were contraband, the position of tho British Kovetftment boing Former Consul's Statements and Official Bportt Do Not Aree Democrats making capital of it W IIoiiiIn for llnl, OIID, Nob., Keb. 15.

Choate reports In this communication Lord Salisbury's suggestion that tho British gov ernment settlo the matter by taking tho flour aud paying for It at Its price at Hb destina tion. Choate urged such salo to tho British gov ernment as tho simplest nnd easiest method of settlement. This question was still pend ing, however, when tho correspondence cen?ed. On tho 17th Choato reported that the cargo of tho Beutrlco had been discharged nt East London und that thcro was no allegation ngalnat it, no seizure having boen contem plated; that tho cargo of the Mario was at Durban, freo for Its owners to take; that the Mashona was nt Capetown, but that owing to tho fact that there wero no bills of lad ing there was much difficulty in dealing with its cargo, incidentally. Choato states In u dlspntch of the 18th relating an Inter view with Lord Snllsbury, that "ho claims no blockndo on Dclagoa bay, but only tho right to seize the real contraband of wur on tho high seas which In destined for tho enomy's forces." On tho 20th Choato reported the conclu sion of the British authorities that largo quantities of tho flour carried by the Be atrice wero destined for tho South African republic, making It necessary to laud nt Hast Londou, as It wn Imposslblo to dis charge this part of tho cargo without dis charging tho remainder, allowing removal ot parts of tho cargo for local Portuguese con sumption. Secretary Hay took apparent ex ceptlons to this proceedure, saying It was ','ln conflict with tho assurances that food stuffs with bostllo Intention nro not con trnbnnd of war unless Intended nil supplies for the enemy's forces and Inadmlsslblo from tho view of tho United Statef. Replying to this point, Choate said that Lord Salisbury had disclaimed the purpose monllnncd. Tho correspondence cloyed with n noto to Hay of Kebrunry ft, saying that the American gcods on tho Mashona hail been placed the disposal of tho American consul gcncrnljat Capetown, favor of bimetallism and desirous of 'nn International nereement with the urea! commercial nations of the world that will admit of the use of both gold nnd sliver nt such an estnmishen, ratio ns will maintain the parity between gold 'and Hllvcr nrd the efforts of the tpvernment nre hereby pledged to eniieavor to secure sucn interna tional ngreernent ns speedily lit! possible.

Highly Interest ing testimony was developed today In tho In vestigation by the sciinte committee on privileges nnd elections In the case of W. A. Clark to tho senate from Montann. Justice Hunt, a republlchh Montann member of the supremo court, testified that his family physician, Dr. Trnc'y. had mado what ho (the Justice) regarded ns attempts to con sider a $100,000 bribe to favor Lawyer Well come, ono of Clark's attorneys In tho dis barment proceedings against Wellcome. Tho witness did not, directly at least, con nect Clnrk with this bribery proposition, so Knulkuer, Clark's counsel, tnoved to strike tho wholo testimony from the record, but dld( not succeed. Tho witness testified that tho" Mmo day one of tho attempts to brlbo him had been made similar efforts wero put forth to reach Justice Plggott, nnother of tho Justices of the supremo court of Mon tnnn, Tho comuilttco hold a night session, nt which Justice Plggott testified concerning remarks made to him oi two days when Dr. Traccy had Interviews with Justice Hunt. Justice I'lggott's statement was thnt Clark's leading counsel, hod come to liliu nnd, while npparently under great excite muni, said that hq hud just been nilviscil by Mr. Nclll ot Helena that thu supreme court could be unduly Influenced In tho Well come disbarment proceeding, wanted to know If It were t,pie and spoke of denounc ing any such attempt. Witness bad in formed counsel that ho novor would hoar of such an attempt from him (Plggott), for ha would kill any ono coming to him with u brlbo offer. Tho Hint wltnms was Edward B. Covue. Judgo ot tho county court of Livingstone county, New Y6rk, who testified concerning a convocation ho had In Now York City last October with Mark Hewitt, u witness for tho prosecution In this case. Ho said Mr, Itowitt had spoken of tho Wellcome dis barment caso and In response to nn Inquiry had said that Wellcome "did not stand n ghost of n chnnce," and would bo disbarred. Hi said that It did not make riny difference whether Wellcome was guilty of the uffenso charged, ns L. .y owned the court nnd tho case was being conducted with a view to getting testimony In tho Clark caso that wae to come before tho United States sen nte. Tho T)aiy people were, Mr. Hewitt w.1o represented to havo said, determined to de feut Clark and would not stop -at anything to accomplish tho result. Tho witness also had expressed the opinion that Daly had put up the $30,000 used by Mr. Whiteside In hlii exposure. Ou cross-examination Mr. Coyne said that he had known Mr. Wellcome socially, but heforo his examination was concluded Judge Coyno was excused temporarily In order to permit the Justices ot tbo Montana supremo ccurt to testify In order not to detain them. Attemut (o II r I bo .linluv. Justlco Hunt's testimony created a pro found Impression; Ho detailed four different conversations ho had hud with his family physician, Dr. William Tracey of Helena, In two ot which, hr beHevodithc doctor, had nt -tem'ptcU' to' lay Wforc him a proposition to bribe blip In tljq. Wellcome disbarment case. which was at that time before the' ctlurt bf which tho wltne.wwas a member. The first f thwo conversations' had occurred on Au gust 5 last In Dr. Trncey's office. The court hnd then held that It had Jurisdiction In the disbarment proceedings and ho wont to Dr, Trncey's olllco at tho invitation of the Int- tor. "When I went to his ofllce," said the wit ness, "Dr. Tracey Invited nid to a back room. Ho spld M havo a funny kind of n proposition which has como up for you,' " The doctor then wont on to tell, according to Judge Hunt's statement, that he (the doctor) was taking an Intercut In the Well como case, which ho said ho understood was not llko ordinary .cases In conrt. lie had been told, be said, that it was largely n matter In tho discretion of the members ot the court, continuing that ho understood the disbarment proceedings to bo n political fight largely, ami adding that while he. did not know Mr. Wellcome ho understood ho was a decent fellow. Judge Hunt said that he had replied to all this to tbo effect that while there was n certain amount of legal discretion permitted the caso would have to tako its course Just ns auy other case, Ho himself felt that It was a painful duty, becousc ho knovfMr. Wellcome's reputation and altogether he would gladly avoid It If he could. Dr. Tracey then said to him, accord Ing to tho wltnoso! 'I don't suppose, then, there is any uso to lay my proposition before you." Without, however, waiting for any formal reply tho witness said the doctor had- pro ceeded ns follows "There Is n party here who has got $100,- 000 and who wants to put It up if that case can bo thrown out ot court." Justice Hunt nald that ho was not certain whether Dr. Tracey had usp1 the singular or tho plural pronoun In speaking of tho party not sure whether bp said he or they Justlco Hunt said thai he bad replied lo Mr. Tracey that "not all tho money In tho United and Anaconda mines together, with every dollar that Daly nnd Clark nre both worth and that there Is In the banks would lnduco me to sacrifice my conscience to the oxtcnt of granting an additional time In this or any other case. Tho Wellcomo caso must go forwnrd Just as any other case would." Iti-lnriiN vt lilt I'l-opoNllloii, Justlco Hunt said ho had then gone to his homo nnd that anout 5.30 In tho afternoon Dr. Trncoy had como to his houso n sought another Interview with hlra, saying i uTnolt AND THE RECORDS Doctor Benin to lli'itur. Tho matter did not como up between thorn ngaln until November II,. when bo met Dr. Tracey on tho street nnd the latter had nskeil him If no chango had come over his Ulltlll.

Tho doctor thon miM in him- "You know I never offereil von n hrll.n nnd that I was only Joking In our conversations concerning tho Wellcome caso. You well Know l nail no $100,000 with which to bribe you. nnd I am not one of that kind of fel lows." Justlco Hunt said ho had replied to Dr. Tracey that ho wished ho could believe thai ho was only Joking, but that he could not put that construction on bin proposition. Ho did not, however, bollevo that Dr. Tracey meant to actually bribe him, but simply to lay tho proposition before him. In Hnswcr to questions, Justice Hunt said ho thought Dr. Trncoy had mentioned Sena tor Clark's name in tho first conversation when ho hnd spoken of tho Wellcomo case as merely a political light between Mr. Clark nnd Mr. Daly. He hnd first related the fact of tho propositions being made to him on the night of August 5. when his associate, Justice Plggott. had come to his houso und related that ho had bei approached ou tho shmo day. At the close of the direct examination, which had been conducted nUnost entirely by Chairman Chandler.

Triiccy Siir:trlne Hunt. Tho motion was overruled and tho cross- exninlnntlon proceeded. Justlco Hunt said thnt 'before Dr. Traccy had made the propo sition to him ho hnd considered him u man of pre-eminently good character. Hq did not beliovo tho doctor had stopped to think of tho enormity of the proposition and he still resarded him ns n good man. Witness said ho had first told his wtory to Jtif.tlcf Plggott, next to Judgo Brantloy, nfterwnid o Judge Hewitt, never to Attorney General Nolan. Ho understood that Judge liznott hud told Attorney General Nolan. Piggott. so far ns ho knew, had no afTlllntlon wl'h Daly. Asked why he did nut bring the mai ler to the attention of the public prosecutor Judgo Hunt replied that ho was so humili ated he did not care to disclose It; ho pre ferred not to. Q You preferred to allow the attempt to perpetrate such a crime to go unpunished? A. It would have been embarrassing lo mo as a Judge. Q. It wa n contempt of court? A. I did not take notice of it. Witness said Judge Plggott felt tho same way nbout It. Hp hnd Immediately notified his brother Judges nfter the Interviews of August 5, and after the Interview of Novem ber 11 he bad Immediately gone to tho court and notified the chief Justice. Q. Did you Inform your associates thnt It.Jiad been a serious proposition? A. It never occurred, to roe that It could have been a Jocular Interview until It was suggested to me by Dr. Tracey later. Q. Dr. Tracey alluded to no one? A. No one. O. Dr. Tnicnv .islrpil nnli- fnr Inailf-i j . A T hntlfv lm tlimthl lha,A m-a.iI.I I.a ' Justice. At this point Senator Hoar created a laugh by recalling the fact that Ird Bacon said ho only accepted bribes to do Justice. "But that," ho added, "was not tho view the House of Commons took of It." Continuing, the witness snld he understood thnt Dr. Tracey wanted a dismissal of the case. Q. (by Senator Ksulkner) But this was after tho demurrer had been overruled. How could the cues men be dismissed? A. That occurred to me, but Dr. Tracey was not a lawyer. Chairman Chandler suggested thnt this lino of metaphysical examination was doing the defense no good. partincnt that his oiflclnl mall wna being regularly tampared with by, the British au thorities.
