Applied to France.
PARIS, Aug. . M. Jusserand. the French
ambassador at Washington, has arrived
here from New York. Before leaving Paris
for his coiuUry seat In the department of

CLARK DEFENDS MINORITY
Leader of Democrats Deniei Tarty ii
Divided by Tariff Fight.
RECOUNTS HISTORY OF STRUGGLE
Sara Democrats H Come Oat ol
Rattle More Taornnnnlr Unified
Than Ther Hare Been for
Generation.
1
WASHINGTON. Aug. .-ln reply to
what he terms "the misrepresentations of
democrats In th papers. "Champ Clark,
leader of the minority in tin house of rep.
resentatlves, today gave out the following
statement regarding the ootirse of the dem
ocratic members of the house In ennne'.
tlon with the consideration of the Payne
bill!
"Many newspapers generally republican or
near-republican and more Individual,
keep mouthing about the dissension among
the house democrats and the perfect unity
among house republicans, notwithstanding
the truth known of all men who care to
know, that the house democrats came out
of the tariff fight more thoroughly united
on that question than they had been In a
generation and the republicans came out
of It worse shattered than ever before.
"Some papers, either through careless,
ness of malice, have gone so far as to sajr
that had the democrats not been absent
in large numbers unpaired we would hava
defeated the conference report on the
tariff bill. There is hot a Syllable of
truth in it.
"Now, mark how plain a tale will put
them down: On my motion last spring to
recommit the Payne bill with instructions
which instructions constitute a compre
hensive domocratlc platform so far as the
tariff is concerned all democrats voted
for It except four. On the Payne bill Itself,
voted on Immediately after my motion to
recommit was defeated, the republicans
lost one vote and the democrats lost four,
a net loss to the democrats of three a
more nearly unanimous democratic) vote
than has been cast on a tariff bill In a
generation.
- Vote on Payne's Motion.
"Let's examine Into the comparative ma
jority among democrats and republicans.
On Mr. Payne's motion to recommit the
conference report all the democrats except
one voted for it and twenty republicans
with us, so that the republican machlna
was victorious by only five majority, al
though thfy had a majority of forty-five
In the house. On that rota there were ab
sent six democrats and five republicans.
Among those absent, four democrats were
paired with four republicans, leaving two
democrats and one republican absent with
out pairs. If the two democrats absent
without pairs had been present and had
voted with us, we would have been de
feated by three votes. Had one democrat,
who voted with the republicans, also voted
with us, we would still have been defeated
by one vote. On that vote to recommit the
conference report the democrats voted more
solidly than ever before since the close of
the civil war. while the republicans were
worse split up.
"On the vote of the adoption of the con
ference report, the house machine won by
twelve majority only. There were absent
six democrats and four republicans. As on
the motion to recommit, four democrats
were paired with four republicans. twu
democrats were absent without pairs and
two democrats voted with the republicans.
If the two unpaired democrats had been
present and voted with us, the machlna
majority would have been reduced to 10,
and If the two democrats who voted with
the republicans had also voted with us,
the machine majority would have been re
duced to six. That was a close call for the
machine, but nothing could have been done
to have turned their nardly-won victor
Into defeat."
gays Payne Was Fooled.
"The reason that Chairman Payne moved
to recommit was that he fooled himself
into the belief that we were going to offer
a motion to recommit with Instructions and
he wanted to head us off. But we had no
Idea of moving to recommit with Instruc
tions because the situation absolutely for
bade it, for the republicans who voted
with us in favor of the Payne motion to
simply recommit wov.ld have voted with
the republican machinists against our mo
tion to recommit with Instructions. Of
course, Mr. Payne voted against his own
motion to recommit.
"Many newspapers are trying to make it
appear that the Payne-AIdrich-Bmoot bill
Is a revision downward. This Is absolutely
untrue. The average of rates of the Payne-Aldrich-Smoot
bill Is about I per cent higher
than the average rate of the Dlngley bill.
When the maximum goes into effect March
31, laiO, the average rate will be about V
per cent higher than the average of the
Dlngley bill."

Bask clearings for July continue to exhibit a remarkable gain as compared with the eor
respoadlDg month ia any prerloaa year. The large increase at New York is wortky of par
ticular note from the fact that stock exchange operations were of comparatively restricted
volume and did not supply so large a proportion of the total as in some previens months.
Returns from cities outside New York also show a satisfactory increase, and all see tlon
contribute to the gratifying exhibit, the figures testifying to the very large volaas of
business transactions and to hew closely conditions approach normal. Total exchanges for
the month, according to the statement issued by R. G. Don A Co., for all cities In the Uulte4
States, embracing 116 leading centers, were S13,412.390,OC3, an increase of 213 per cent ever
the figures of last year and 14 9 per cent, as compared with 1IM6. In New England almost
all cities report gains, amoog them Boston, Providence, SpringfUld and Worcester. At
many points in the Middle States luoreases are shown at Buffalo, Rochester, Scran ton,
Reading and many other cities, end where a decrease is noted it is of com par tl rely slight
importanoe. In the Bouth Atlantic Slates improvement continues, and the showing is very
satisfactory at Baltimore, Richmond, Norfolk and several ether cities. At the Middle South
many cities show gains, among them fit. Louis, Memphis, Little Rock and Houston. The
Central West shows remarkable improvement over both last year and 1906, practically all
cities contributing, esueilalty Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit. Cincinnati, Cleveland aad
Indianapolis. In the Far West gains are genual, Kansas City, St Paul, Dsnvcr, Des Moines,
Bloux City and Omaha all showing large lnoreaees. On the Pad lie coast all cities make
