At the night session of tho senate Mr.
Chandler railed up tho resolution hereto
fore offered by himself declarlug that Hon.
W. A. Clark of Montana had not been duly
elected to tbo senate.
Mr. Chandler declared that Mr. Clark
had spent $1,000,000 In his last election,
but said ho had followed the plan of cor
rupting voters before tho November elec
tion rather than to wait for tho meeting of
the legislature to spend his money. Ho
aid this fact can be ascertained If th
sennto decided to make nn Investigation.
He charged a gross, dcllberato and willful
violation of the Montana stnto requiring
that returns should be made of campaign
expenditures, and that this was sufficient
Justification for a senatorial Investigation.
To his mind tho Inference was clear that
Mr. Clark had sofltrcd his election by cor
rupt practices and It would bo nstonlshlng
If a man could bo admitted to a seat In the
senate when he had onco been convicted
of bribery.
Tell Wlint Cliirk Spent.

CATARRH OF THE STOMACH
A I'lranunt, Simple, Hut Hate hud lit
Icctnnl Cure for It,
Catarrh of the stomach has long been
considered tbo next thing to incurable
Tbo usual symptoms nro a full or bloating
sensation after eating, accompanied some
times with sour or watery risings, a forma
tlon of gases, causing pressuro on tho heart
nd lungs and difficult breathing, head
aches, fickle appetite, nervousness and a
gonerat playod out, languid feeling.
There Is often a foul taste In tho mouth,
coated tongue, and If tho interior of the
stomach could be seen It would show a
slimy, Inflamed condition.
Tbo cure for this common nud obstlnato
trouble Is found In a treatment which
causes tbo food to bo readily, thoroughly
digested before It has time to ferment and
lrrltato the delicate mucous surfaces of tho
stomach. To secure- a prompt and healthy
digestion Is tho ono necessary thing to do
and when normal digestion is securod tho
catarrhal condition will have disappeared.
According to Dr. Harlunson, tho safest
and best treatment is to use after each meal
a tablet, composed of Dlastaso, Aseptlo
Fepstn, a little Mux, Ooldeu Seal and fruit
acids. These tablets can now bo found at
all drug stores under the name or Stuart s
Dyspepsia Tablets aud not being a patent
medicine can be used with perfect safety
nd assurance that healthy appottte and
thorough digestion will follow their regular
use aftir meals.
Mr. M. J. llooher, Chicago, III., writes;
"Catarrh is a local condition resulting from
a neglected cold lu tho head, ,whereby the
lining membrane of the noso becomes In
flamed and the poisonous discharge there
from passing backward Into the throat
Teaches the stomach, thus producing ca
tsrrb of too stomach. Medical authorities
prescribed for mo tor three years for ca
tarrh of the stomach without cure, but to
day I am ths happiest of men after using
only ono box of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
I cannot find appropriate words to express
toy good feeling. I have found flesh, ap
petite and sound rest from their use,"
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the safest
preparation as well as tbo simplest and
most convenient remedy for any form of
Indigestion, catarrh of stomach, biliousness
our stomach, heartburn and bloating after
meals.

GERMANS SECURE FOOTHOLD

WASHINGTON', Mnrch 2. Germany re
cently appointed its first salaried consul to
Central America, accredited to the Htato of
Nicaragua, with a consulate to bo estab
lished at Managua. Ilesldcs this salaried
consul, says United Stntcs Consul Dlcdrlth
nt Ilrcmen, In a roport to tho State depart
ment, there aro at present In Central
Amerlcu fifteen German consuls, vlco con
suls and consular agents, whose duty It Is
to look after tho interests of nt least 4,000
Gorman residents and business firms there.
They aro paid by fees. German commercial
Interests In Central America, tho consul
says, have rapidly Increased during the past
few years. It has beon olUclally stated,
says Consul Dledrlch, that tbo German
government has Invested fully 59,500,000
marks In various enterprises in Central
America, and German farms and planta
tions occupy moro than 742,000 acres. The
lurgo Gorman houses In Nicaragua, Guate
mala and Costa Illca, besides transacting all
tho business between Germany and Central
America, cqntrol most of the trade be
tween the latter and England and Califor
nia. Tho trade between Germany and Central
America amounts annually In round num
bers to from $7,000,000 to $12,000,000. The
shipping on tho entire coast Is largely
In tho hands of German steamship lines
Germany takes foremost placo In tho for
eign trade of Guatemala aud controls
about one-half of the coffee and sugar
crops. It was expected that the first Ger

In closing his report, Consul Dledrlch
sounds n noto of warning as to the foot
hold which Germany is planting on this
continent, saying:
"Those who nro familiar with tho thor
oughness of German methods generally
with the wonderful progress this nation
has been making during the past dozou
years in almost every field of humau ac
tl.vlty, and know how alort It Is to extend
Its trado Into every quarter of the globe,
need not bo told that the reorganization
of the German consular service, In Central
America Is a step of no mean Importance."

WASHINGTON, March 2. The Cuban
delegation on economic affairs, which has
Just completed a month's work hero In
Washington nnd returned to Havana, has
ssuod through Mr. Abad, Its secretary, n
statement describing the purposes of the
delegation and tho results attained through
the visit to Washington.
It Is said thcro wero tbreo objects In
view, namely: To secure a reduction of
duties on Cuban exports to tbo United
States; tho abolition of Cuban export duty
on tobacco, and tho appointment of a Cuban-
American commission to revtso the Cuban
tariffs on n basis of reciprocity. Tho com
mission sums Its achievements as follows:
"Two of tho requests havo been already
practically granted. Ono of then Is for
the appointment of a Cuban-American com
mission to revise tho Cuban tariffs nnd tho
other Is the abolishment of tho export
duties, which It Is understood tho Ameri
can administration considers a heavy bur
den on tho agriculturists of Cuba, mid
uujust.
"Tho tobacco planters, whose Interests
havo so ocvcrcly suffered during tho war,
are now paying taxes which are contrary
to the economic principles of the United
States and In consequence thereof this bur
den has grcntly discouraged tho Cubans,
rxplnlitN the Delay.
"With respect lo an arrangement con
cerning a modus Vivendi with Cuba, the
American administration Is In accord with
tho wishes of tho Cuban sugar and tobacco
planters, but an tbo matter must bo first
thoroughly considered by congress, noth
ing can bo done nt present on nccount of
lack of time.
"Tho delegates are much pleased with
tho courteous rcccptlou extended to them by
the president, tho sccretnry of war nnd
many other high officials of tho govern
ment.
"In order to havo permanent representa
tion, Mr. Abad, who has been the leading
spirit In this so far successful movement,
will remain nt Washington and continue
the work of tho Cuban delegation on eco
nomic affairs, tho offect of which has been
to bring the administration Into close.- re
lations with tho conservative clement of
Cuba, which has remained separated slnco
tho occupation of the Island by the Americans."

WASHINGTON, March 2. Tho house ex
perts on appropriation bills regarded tho
situation as decidedly easy today and it
was said that there would be timo to spare
on tho vnrlous big measures. With tho'
Indian, army and agricultural bills sent lo
tho president, tho only ones remaining to
glvo any uucaslncss are tho river and har
bor, naval, postoftlco and sundry civil. Tho
although tho conferees had not beon ap-
formally and are well along on their work.
although the confereces had not been ap
pointed early in the day, Tho naval con
ferees aro still deadlocked on tho three
submarlno boats and somo other Items,
but the subjects' nro too small to endanger
a bill of this Importance.
Tho postofllco conferees havo had trouble.
Tbo senators declined to confer with two
out of the three houso conferees and the
session onded abruptly. But tho points
of dlftcrcnco on this bill also nro too small
to endanger tbo bill, tho chief questions
being as to inquiries on a government tele
graph and telephone systom and on free
delivery for small cities. The sundry civil
conforonco Is dealing with some importunt
differences, Including the expositions at St.
Louis, Charleston nnd Buffalo and tho me
morial brldgo over tho Potomac river, but
no fears- aro entertained of protracted differences.

WASHINGTON, March 2. Despite the
general Impression that gaslight will be
superseded by eloctrlclty, United States
Consul General Illchard Gucnthor at Frank
tort, In a communication to tbo Stato de
partment, says new gas companies ore
being organizod and tho older plants In
creased In capacity. In Germany gas Is
produced from hard coal, whllo In America
water gas Is chiefly used. Flvo cubic mc
terB of German gas produce a candlo power
of from thirteen to fourteen lights per
hour, whllo tho carbureted water gas In
America furnishes from twenty-six lo thirty
for the same quantity and time. Sattstt
cal reports show that consumption of gas
in the differont cities of the United States
Is much larger than that of cities of the
same size In Germany.
The consul general says tho entire elec

mated at not more than 20 per cent that
of gas.

MARCH CLEARING SALE

n oyed by tho actions of a man who Is
traveling about tho country and borrowing
money upon tho representation that he Is

cx-membcrs of the houso of representatives
who knew tho senntor's fathr thcro and

berson says that ho has only ono brother,
Hobert U. Culberson, who resides In Sau

I.) llt'llClI.
KANSAS CITY. March 2. A special to tho
Stur from Camdon, Mo., says Dewey Smith,
a negro miner, who yesterday shot and
killed Chester Stanley, n white miner, at
mlno No. 4, four miles south of Richmond,
Mo., was captured late last night and taken
back to tho scone of his crlmo and his
body Is now hanging to a tree closo to
whero ho committed tho crlmo.
Stanley and Smith, alias McNeil, alias
Dob Mcllrlcn, quarreled yesterday over a
trivial matter, which resulted In tho shoot
ing of Stanley. Tho negro escaped, but
was captured lust night at Camden by two
whllo men. They took him to Uurnett'j
hotel nnd wired Sheriff Crowley at Illch
mond to como at once. When the sheriff
arrived a large crowd of men from Lexing
ton Junction and Camden wero waiting in
tho street outsldo tho hotel nnd cries of
'Bring him out!" and "Lynch him!" were
heard and a general rush was mado on the
hotel where the negro wus confined. Some
one tired n gnn. Immediately n dozen shnti
wero fired and It looked as though a num
ber of people would bo' killed, but they
brought him out without accident.
The cry arose: "Tako him back to the
sceno of his crime!" "Burn him on tho
pit top!" "Hang him!" and tho mob started
rupl'dly for mlno No. 2. A halt was called
under a treo near tho mlno and tho pris
oner was given a chance to speak. Ho
confessed to the killing, but said It was
In self-defense; that he wns angry, nnd
requested his body bo sent lo his mother In
Kansas City. Ho then asked It someonj
would pray for him. Ono man prayed:
'Oh, God, havo morcy on tho soul of this
poor, doomed man, nnd, oh, God, remem
ber and have pity on the soul of the man
ho murdered."
A rope was placed nround the negro'a
neck nnd thrown over n limb of tho tree
and at 2:23 o'clock Smith wns launched Into
eternity.
There Is still excitement in tho vicinity
today and soma tnlk of lynching a man, who
Is now in Jail, whom Smith, it Is said,
charged with being Implicated In a plot to
kill somo men nt Richmond nnd Lexing
ton. Bad feeling has existed for some
time between tho negroes nnd whites and
moro troublo Is feared.

Iiib Company from IncrcanliiK
It Cnpltnl .Stock.
NEW YORK, March 2. At Newark, N.
J today Vlco Chancellor Stevens gavo a
hearing on tho application to make per
manent tho order restraining the American
Smelting and Itcnnlng company from in
creasing Its capital stock from 165,000,000
to $100,000,000 and from consolidating the
Interest represented by M. Guggenheim &
Co. nnd other Interests In the United
States and Mexico under Its management.
Kdwnrd Lauterbach, Kugcno Trcadwoll
and It. V. Lindabury appeared as counsel
for the complainant stockholders, who are
William Donald, William II. Curtis, John
(lordan, S. V. White, A. Sartorius and
Henry Zlmmer. Tho directors of tho smelt
ing company wero represented by Samuel
Untermcyer, Thomas 1). Thatcher, Robert
II. McCarter and William II. Corbln.
Mr. Lindabury opened the case by read
ing affidavits from the complainants al
leging that the proposed increase of the
capital stock was unnecessary and that tbo
amount proposed to be paid for tbo In
terest of M. Quggcnhclm & Co. was exces
sive. The affidavits alleged In fact that
tho value of the Guggenheim Interests was
problematical and that they really had no
specific value by reason of tho possession
of secret processes. William II. Corbln
replied for tho directors. His reply con
sisted mainly of nffldavlts of M. Guggen
heim's sons and others, showing that the
nmount of stock held by the complainants
was smaller than represented.
Mr. Lindabury asked for a now order
permitting tho taking of depositions of
certain officers of tho company. Mr. Un
tormoyor objected, arguing the point up
to rocess.
