Mont., May 19.—Governor Smith this afternoon appointed Martin Maginnis Un“ied States senator to suc ceed William A. Clark. Maginnis represented Montana in congress in the early days of the terri tory. He is not allied with either dem ocratic factions and has always been a strong party man. Governor Smith says that the resig nation of Senator Clark was w ritten in April and that the date that it now bears, May 11. was the result of the erasure of the original date, which can i easily be proved by examination of the document. He also alleges that the resignation was in the possession of Charles A. Clark, son of the senator, for several weeks.

Miles Finlen is one of ihe democrats in the legislature who voted against Clark. WASHINGTON.

The following dispatch was received and read to the committee from Gov ernor Smith, dated Butte. Mont.. May 17: “Hon. W. E. Chandler. Washington: I desire to present in as forcible a man ner as possible my protest against the course pursued by Hon. W. A. Clark in attempting to defeat the action of the senate of the United States upon the resolution presented by the committee on privileges ami elections affecting his title to a seat and to protest against the methods pursued by him in se- * curing an appointment at the hands ; of the lieutenant governor during my absence from the state under circum stances and conditions which to my mind indicate collusion and fraud. “His conduct in attempting a resig nation and procuring a reappointment under the conditions as he did. if the matter was before a court of justice, would have been considered a contempt of court on his part. I, therefore, trust that the committee and the sen ate will proceed to a proper and com plete consideration of the question, so > that the rights, not only of Mr. Clark, but of the state of Montana, in the premises may he determined, and that ; upon the presentation of his credentials of appointment by the lieutenant gov ernor the same be transferred to the committee on privileges and elections for investigation, and that I be per mitted to make a more complete and detailed statement of facts concerning the resignation and appointment of Mr. Clark." The language of the resolution of the committee directing Chairman Chand ler to press the resolution as reported follows: "Resolved. That the chairman be di rected to press to a vote the resolu tion reported to the committee.” _ I REPORT ON JAPANESE LABOR. i ♦secretary Treasnry Send* Kr»|i»m>r to the ReKolutien of Senate.

DEPUTY REEVES HAS CONfESSED. He Gives P|» Nearly Five Thousand Neelj Had Placed With Him. HAVANA. May 21.—W. H. Reeves, deputy auditor of the island, made a confession at midnight an . gave up $4,500 given to him by C. F. \V. Neely, the arrested financial agent of posts at Havana, to perform certain services the day he left. General Wood and the postal inspec tors refuse to disclose the nature of the confession, barely admitting that a confession has been made. It is claimed that $1,400 more will be recovered today. Another charge against Neeley is that he has defrauded the customs out of several thousand dollars' worth of i duties by importing nominally for pos tal use large quantities of paper, which was afterward sold to a printing house in Havana. The Cubans are now talking a good deal regarding postal matters, the main idea apparently being that the Ameri cans. having found so many of their countrymen implicated, will not pro ceed to extremities. The Cnoans do not believe that Neeley will be extradicted. With the confessions of Reeves and Rich, supplemented by those of the stamp clerks, and by the statements of the Baracoa postmaster, it is con sidered that the evidence against Nee ley is complete. General Wood says that the report from Muncie. Ind.. that nearly $2,000. 000 worth of stamps have been printed there and sent for distribution to Cu ban postoffices can be regarded as a canard. There is nothing here to show that any such counterfeit stamps have been sent. It is believed now that tne whole story is known and that the amount of the defalcation will fall !>e tween $100,000 and $125,000. Hard for Federal .lud(ce. WASHINGTON.

Russell Sage is quoted as having said recently that the time is near when America will take her place at the head of the financial nations of the world. "It is something new in finan ciering to float British bonds here.” he continued, "but we have so much faith in the credit of the mother nation that there is almost no limit to the money she could borrow in this land. Next to oui own bonds, in which I am a great believer. I would have no hesi tancy in accepting those issued by the British government. All we could get Of the British bond issue was fi per cent of the $50,000,000 subscribed for. Now those bonds are selling to day at a premium of 2*$ per cent.
