WASHINGTON. May 1. While there Is
much discission among scnatorn over the
status of Senator Clark of Montana thero
has not been sufficient crystallization of sen
timent to Justify a conclusion as to what
tho final result m.iy bo. A meeting of the
committee on privileges and elections ban
been called for next Friday to consider
what course shall be pursued In vlow of
Senator Clark's resignation with refcrensc
to tho committee on resolutions declaring
tho seat acnnt. Tho members of tho com
mittee say that they arc not now prepared
to predict what course tho committee will
recommend.
Tho present purpose Is to move the ref
erence of tho nenator'8 credentials when
they arc presented to tho senate to tho
elections committee. The Indlsatlons at
present aro that thla reference will bs
opposed by somo of, Mr. Clark's friends, who
take tho position that if this disposition
be made of the credentials It would be for
the purpose of so delaying a report an to
prevent action on tho case during the pres
ent sitting of congress and thus practically
prevent Mr. Clark resuming his scat at
all, as r new legislature will bo convened
In Montana next January, a month after tho
opening of the next session of congress.
It Is admitted that the 'purposo of mov
ing the reference of be credentials will bo
found In tho doslro to Investigate tho ques
tion Involved In the appointment. 11 is
thought by some senators that Governor
Smith will have a presentation of factn to
make, which It will bo necessary to consider.
Tho resignation' and, appointment consti
tuted almost tho exclusive) topic of con
versation among senators today. Tho sit
uation Is unparalleled In tho sonate.
SAN FUANCI8C0, May 16. The Examiner
prints an Interview from Wadsworth, Nov.,
with fJovornor Smith pf Montana, who Is en
routo from California to Helena, Mont., In
which tho governor Is quoted as follows
concerning tho resignation and reappoint
ment of Senator Clark:
"I camo to California on business," tho
governor said, "and never thought that such
a schomo would ho hatched during my ab
sence from my executive duties or I would
never havo loft tho chajr In tho powor of the
lieutenant governor. Tho trouble Is the
cause of my enrly roturn and I pray to Ood
that I may reach Helena In time to prevent
Its consummation. Thero Is no way of
vesentlng this act, as tho lieutenant gover
nor la vested with tho samo rights as the
governor during tho letter's absence I
knew that Sprlggs was favorablo to Clark,
but did not think ho would bo guilty of such
an act In tho faco of tho fact that not 25
per cent of tho Montana peoploaro favorablo
to Clark nB their representative In tho halls
of congress. If tho appointment Is mado
beforo 1 reach Helena I will havo to accept
tho Inevitable."

HeiiiK Worked Out.
"WASHINGTON. May 10. (Special Tele
gram.) Senator Thurston today succeeded
In passing through tho senate Congressman
Ilurkett's bill providing for tho rcsurvey of
township 8, rango 30, west of tho sixth prin
cipal meridian, Iti Frontier county, Ne
braska. Plans and specifications for the new
school building on tho Winnebago agency
In Thur8ton?rounty have already been pre
pared In anticipation of the pussago of-tho
Indian appropriation bill, appropriating $10,
000 for tho new structure.
In anticipation of tho passage of the army
reorganization bill the War department Is
being Hooded with applications from per
sons who seek appointments to additional
cadetshlps created by the act. Provision Is
mado In the bill for 100 cadets In addition
to tho present strength Of tho cadet corps. It
Is not: specifically stated In the bill that
nominations for theso places arc to bo mado
by senators, but tho War department will
proceed upon the theory that such Is tho
Intent of the bill and each senator will bs
allowed to name ono cadet at tho academy.
Ho will not bo entitled to appoint a cadet
annually, but only to make a nomination
whenever thero shall bo u vacancy within
his control. In other words, If' his nominee
docs not fall In any of tho classes and so
contnues atthe ficdemydurlng;,,! four
ycars"'c6ufB'e, a aenatoF could not mako
another nomination during- that four years.
If his boy failed In his studies In the In
terim tire senator might nominate a suc-
cojsor Immediately not all In ono year.
It Is aald at tho War department that It
would bo Impossible, even should tho bill
pass Immediately, to nrrango for the re
ception of additional cadets during the pres
ent ncadomlo year. Tho best that can bo
done Is to allow them to-appear at September
examinations Hut it Is not probable that
all of tho senators vylll bo permitted to
nominate their candidates for that date
Tint to Inject 100 new cadcto into tho
academy nt tho samo time with the regularly
Incoming September.clats of freshmen would
bo to decidedly unbalance tho arrangement
of classes and mako the flrnt class unwieldy
Therefore It Is probablp that ono of two
courses will bo adopted; either two sen
ntors from a state will be requested to com
bine In making ono nomination for tho first
year or tho department will arbitrarily
divide tho senators Into two classes, allow
ing the senior senators, for instance, to mako
n nomination this yenr and 1ho Junior sen
atom next year, thus Insuring numerical bal
anco In tho classes at Wtet Point.
Representatives Gamblo and llurko today

It Is from this fund that expenditures will
bo made at Fort Meade. Tbo appropriation
of $30,000 allowed for this post two yeans
ago Js exhausted, und tho congressmen urgol
upon tho officials the necessity for further
Improvements.

Information,
WASHINGTON, Mny 18. Dlscusilon of af
fairs In Cuba by agents of tho United States
occupied the senate during the greater part
of the day. Bacon addressed the senato nt
length on his tcsolutlon directing the com
mltteo on relations with Cuba to mako an
nvcstlgatlon of the conduct of financial af
fairs of tho Island. Ho said It was duo thi?
people of this country to know Just how
nflalrs in the Island were being conductt.I
nnd slnco the dlsclonurts of the past few '
days had. been made with respect to the
r.l'.eged mlrapprcprlatlou of funds In tho pes.
tat service, tbo obligation upon congress to
make an Investigation wan doubly heavy.
He urgel that the honor of tho country
depended on Its being able to tlear aay tho
fraud and corruption which It was charged
had been discovered. He Insisted that ihi
government of the I'nlted Statoi had no
authority In Cuba nnd demanded to know
how soon It proposed to redeem Its p!cds
and leave tho Island to Its Inhabitants.
"If," said tho Qcorgla senator, "we had
beforo us only the naked fact that the re
ceipts of tho Island during a single yoir
were mnio than $10,000,000 and tho expendi
tures more than $11,000,000 wo would bo
bound to Investigate, the subject to see that
this vast sum had iiecn properly nnd pru
dently handled."
it this point Chandler, chairman of the
commlttoj on privileges and elections, called
up the resolution declaring that Clark of
Montana was not entitled to n seat In the
senate nnd asked that It be postponed until
Saturday next at 1 o'clock. "In order," tnld
Chandler, "that the committee on privileges
and elections may consider what action thall
bo taken." The resolution was agreed to.
Too Iik-Ii I'iiiiit (o Oik- Man.
Dacoti thrn read 'the order under whl h
Major Hathbono was acting n.i director ft :
posts of CuLm, ond said the power conferred i
on him by that order was so great that it '
hud resulted In a disgraceful nnd mortifying ,
condition of affalts. Interrupting Bacon,
Halo said that the order creating Major
Itathbone's office was of a character of
power such as was given to Roman pro
consuls, There Is nothing like It In this
government. It Is n power unrestricted, un
bridled.
After paying a compliment to Major Hath
bono, Halo continued:
"Tho senator and all of us ought to havo
known that tho giving of this unbridled
power to ono man would be abused by the
men under him and In tho und ho would suf
fer." Halo did not approve of this fashion
of teaching self-government to tho Cubans.
Ilacon, continuing, said:
'The question now presented Is. rtiould
congress sit still, In Ihe face of theso grors
violations of public trurt, or should It lnves-
tlgato It to th bottom?"
He understood that tho majority of tho
committee on relations with Cuba did not
desire an Investigation of Cuban affairs by
congre'Js becauso rcnators were stnrtled at
tho magnitude of the work and were afraid j
It misht taKo tne naianco or the year it
thcue senators were not willing to undcrtnke
tho work ho (Bacon) know tho Bpnators who
were. " ' "
In conclusion Mr. nacon nfllhtell' out "that
no nallbli ever liaH" a'-betW-oniottunitty'ln
set Itself on n high plane In the admlnlntra-i
Hon of affairs than tho United States had In
Cuba and ho hoped tho opportunity would
bu embraced.
The resolution wns then jnado subject to
tho call of any senator, Piatt of Connecticut
express , desire to addross himself to somo
of tho statements Bacon had made.

HAVANA, May 16. Warrants wore Issued
this evening for tho arrest of K. P. Thomp
son, the Havana postmaster; W. H. Reeves,
deputy auditor of tho Island, and Edward
Moya and Jorgo Mascaro, Cuban clerks In
the stamp department, and by 7 o'clock all
wero lodged In the Vlvac, tho Tombs of
Havana. This was done under tho udvlco
of the postal Inspectors who arrived today.
It Is considered now that Recvos Is equally
guilty with Neely.
Investigation ns to the record of the clerk
In tho department who handled several
hundred dollars' worth of stamps proves that
tbo transaction, so far as ho Is concerned,
was legitimate. Theso stomps were pur
chased nt tho request of his brothor, who
Is a stamp collector In tho United States, for
$R00. They were of tho old issue and wero
obtained from Neelcy.
Tho arrest of Thompson caused great sur-
priso In tho city. It Is looked upon as tho
precursor of many other arrests.
General Wood felt, as did the spoclal In
spectors, that it would bo better to havo
tho suspected persons nrrcsted nnd to give
thorn an opportunity to obtain ball than
to keep them Indefinitely under closo super
vision at a time wh6n tho detectives arc
badly needed for other work.
Postmaster K. P. Thompson of tho Ha

ment In which ho says that Sep
tember 16 last being In need of money
he took from tbo money order funds $133,
giving his memorandum ns a receipt for tho

the travel, nnd the wagons nnd othor ve
hicles aro still getting a fair share of It.
Tho Suburban road, which has entirely
resumed traffic on all its Hues, Is doing an
Immense business, tho cars being packed
during tho twenty-four hours. Members of
tho city detective force, who havo born
held in rfeervo at the Four Courts during
tho flrlke, patrolled tho city last night, nnd
In consequence there was very little wm
cutting or destruction of street rallw.iy
property.
A statement regarding tho street rail
way strike, signed by several hundred husl
nets men of St. Louis, has been given out.
In part Jt says:
Strikers Too Itiullenl.
"Knowing that public nmtlmcnt is tho
strongest factor In tho proper adjustment
of nil differences In which Ihe community
Is concerned, nnd with n sincere deslro to
do what is best for tho Interests of the
striking railway employe", we take occasion
to frankly express our opinion of the df
mnnds they hnvo made, which, after a care
ful study of them, candor compets us to
say aro so extreme and radical In tholr
nature that In tho long run their own In
terests would not bo eonscrvnd by having
them accepted. No busings organization
could bo well and successfully managed on
tho lines laid down, and tho lnteicsts of
employe could never be well protected by
employers, who In their operations wero
compelled to Ignore fundamental business
principles.
"Inasmuch as the belief may prevail that
thero Is a sentiment on tho part of the
buslncfs public In favor of the demands re
ferred to. It Is only fair to tho striking em
ployes to promptly dispel any such Impres
sion, so that if they are relying to nny ex
tent upon tho supposed c-xlBtcnco of such a
sentlmont 'nmong us to help them succeed.
they may know It Is a mistake nnd a cor
rect, knowledge of our views may snvo them
loss of money and possibly loss of their
positions."
Sixty-two men from Cleveland arrived hero
today o worli for tho St. LquIs Transit com
pany! Wh'ilc'tho men were 'In Hie 'lunch
room nt Union stntlon Patrolmen Dixon and
Robertson searched them. In tho pockets
of threo of them wero found revolvers.
These men,, William J. Anderson, William
Kelly and Frank Curtl, were nrrcsted.
"There were sixty-two men In our party,"
said Anderson. "All of the men nro motor
men or conductors who had been employed
by the Cleveland street railroads. Somo
of us had been In the big Cleveland strikes
nnd were union men who had lost their
places. Othert were working extra thero
and had work only a small portion of the
time. Others were unuble to obtain em
ployment of any kind. For nearly n week
we hnd been in correspondence with tho
Transit company. They finally offered to
glvo us steady employment nftcr tho strike
was over. They offorod us 20 cents an .hour
nnd agreed to pay our hotel bills during tho
continuance, of the trouble. Wo wero as
sured that wo would have nmplo police pro
tection." Another Informant declares that tho
strikers contend that all cmplnyos of the
Transit company must belong to tho union
and that this demand will bo Insisted upon.
Tho company, It 1b said, still Insists upon
a clauso relating to unionism, In which
membership In tho union shall not bo made
obligatory.
Unlcm an agreement Is reached nt this
conferonco tho meeting of allied labor or
ganizations of the city, called for tonight,
will be held and tho advisability of calling
a general suspension of labor will bo dis
cussed. Chief of Police Onmpbell later ordered
tho release of tho threo strangers who wcro
arretted, declaring that Incoming men may
carry rovolvero until they reach their
homos. This ruling defeats tho plan of tho
strikers to mako tho newcomers trouble.
For tho present Jefferson avenue is the
western terminus for tho California nvchuo
line, on wtlch the Transit company has
eloven ears running. Police gtinrd tho lino.
West nnd south of Jefferson aventio the
lino Is blocked. Superintendent Hunter
estimated that 180 tons of debris cover the
California avenue lino botween Gravolo
avenue and Prlmm street.
Tho Tower Grovo line, which was opened
from Oravols nvenuo to Clifton Heights,
was tomporarlly blocked by wiro cutters,
who'operatcd Tuesday night.

Attorney General Crow, who had returned
to Jefferson City from here, was seen by
a representative of tho Post-Dispatch thero
today. Ho wald that If tho Transit company
Is violating Its franchise requirements nnd
that fact can bo established, ho will Institute
proceedings nt onco to revoke Its franchise.
This statement wns In reply to a telegram
sqnt by Sccrctnry Mack Mlsslk of tho street
car men's union, sotting forth that although
tho company hns nmplo .ollco protection, I'
is not operating enrs on scmo of lt lines
nnd reminding the nttorncy general to keep
bis promlso to havo tho franchise revoked
under certain conditions,
At 12 25 o'clock this morning tho executive
committee of tho strikers rcJo2ted the agree

pany and tho strikers' grlcvanco commit
