The Senate. Washington, May 10.—-Mr. Clark of Montana fairly swept the senate with surprise yesterday by a formal an nomieement that he had sent his res ignation as senator to the governor of Mni.tan'-i. The announcement came without previous notice, and proba bly not a half-dozen persons in Wash ington knew that it was to be made. Mr. Clark struck first at the instant the iron was hot. Mr. Chandler, chair man of the committee on privileges and elections, had given notice that he would call up at 1 o'clock the unanimous report of the senate de claring Mr. Clark not to be entitled to his seat in the senate. A spirited contest over the resolution was ex pected and every senator in the city was in his seat. At 12:30. when the routine business was concluded Mr. Clark rose in his seat. He desired, he said in a low. tense voice, to ad dress the senate on a question of the highest personal importaree to him. Instantly ihere was a buzz in the chamber. Senators on both sides of the aisle hurried to seats near Mr. Clark and a hush fell over the as semblage as the Montana senator be gan to speak. At first his words scarcely could be heard, but as he procefded his voice beepme clear, and while at no time did he speak loudly, the intense earnestness of his utter an es carried his address to the re motest parts of the chamber. His address was a sharp arraignment of the committee's action and report, an analvtical discussion of evidence ad duced at the investigation, an ex planation of political and business affairs in Montana and a bitter ex coriation of Marcus Daly and his friends. As Mr. Clark adverted to his desire to hand down to his chil dren a name untarnished even by the breath of disgrace, tears welled to his eyes and his voke trembled with emotion. almost broke down. Then bracing himself, he read the let ter he had sent to the governor of Montana tendering his resignation. At the conclusion of the speech Mr. Clark became the center of a group of srnators. all desirous of pressing his hand. Little other business of im portance was transacted. The reso lution relating to Mr. Clark Avent over until Tuesday, and the senate pro ceeded to the 'transaction of routine business. CLARK RKAPPOINTED. Acting Governor SprlKKi In the Alist'iico of Gov. Smith. Helena. Mont.. May Hi.—Lieut. Gov. Spriggs last night appointed W. A. Clark of Butte United States senator to serve until the next legislature shall elect his successor. Senator Clark's resignation was tiled early in the day with the governor and last night ho Avas appointed by Gov. Spriggs to succeed himself. Gov. Spriggs has all along been a friend of Senator Clark, during his candi dacy for the senatorship and since, al though he preserved the utmost im partiality in his office as lieutenant governor and president of the senate during the senatorial campaign. Gov. Smith, a partisan of the Daly people, left the state two weeks ago for Cali fornia to attend to some mining cases in which he is retained as at torney. At that time there Avas no thought of Senator Clark resigning and his enemies were confident he would be unseated by the United States senate. The resignation filed yesterday came as a surprise to the people of the state. AVIIO had no ink ling of the coup prepared. During the day Gov. Spriggs received a great many telegrams from all over the state urging him to appoint Senator Clark, alleging that lie was the real choice of a large majority of the Democrats and a large proportion of the Republicans as well. Gov. Spriggs was besieged all day by indi viduals and by delegations friendly and hostile to Mr. Clark. The Home. The house sent to the senate the last of the general appropriation bills —the military academy bill—and Avill be ready to adjourn as soon as the senate disposes of those it has not passed and the two houses adjust the differences in conference. To-day the house Avill take up the bill to estab lish a civil government for Alaska. The Senate. Washington, May 17. Discussion of the administration of affairs in Cuba by agents of the United States occupied the attention of the senate during the greater part of yester day's session. Mr. Bacon of Georgia addressed the senate at length on his resolution directing the committee on relations with Cuba to make an in vestigation of the conduct of financial affairs of the island. He said it Avas due the people of this country to know haw the things in the island were being conducted, and since the disclosure of the last few days of a shortage of funds in the postal ser vice the obligation to make an in vestigation was doubly heavy. He said the honor of the country de pended upon its being able to clear away the charges. He insisted that the government of the United States had no autho-ity in Cuba and de manded to know bow soon it intended to redeem its pledge and leave the government of the island to its in habitants. Tilt Itonae. iThe house accomplished little yes terday beside passing the senate bill to incorporate the American National lied Cross. No progress was made vith tiie Alaskan code bill oAviug to the inability of the tAvo sides to agree as to the time to be allowed for gen eral debate. The conference report on the District of Columbia appro priation bill was returned after ex tended debate. The Senate. Washington, May 18.—'The postoffiw* appropriation bill was considered in the senate yesterday. The committee amendment for exteusion of the pneu matic tube service created some dis cussion and wag under discussion wlien the ee&afc? «4£0i»taed*, 34?* Wot- cott. chairman ef postoffiees and post roads committee, vigorously attacked the appropriation of $750,000 for pneu matic tube service, declaring the e*xteu sion of the service was unnecessary and the appropriation a waste of pub lie money. Mr. Mason of Illinois ejuite as vigorously supported the proposi tion. An anie-nelnient of Mr. Butler of North Carolina to reduce by 10 per cent the amount to be paid the rail ways lor the transportation of mail was' rejected, 11 41. The House. The house yesterday passed a spe cial river ami harbor bill carrying S400.000 for surveys and emergency work and devoted the- remaiiule-r of the day to the' Alaskan code- bill. Four pages of the til" page's of the bill were disposed of before1 adjournment. The Senate. Washington. May I'j. Nearly the en tire time of the senate Avas devotcel te the pneumatic tube service. The de bate at times wis spirited. The ap propriation was elefe'iiele'el by Senators Chandler. Mason, Carter and Welling ton. and oppetsed by Senators Allison, Hale. Tillman, Lodge and Wyleott. Senator Morgan introduced a resedu tion to investigate the Panama canal, and in a speech sharply criticised that company. Senator Me-Cumber niaele a speee-h defending the retention ef the Philippines, during Avhicli Tillman took issue Senator AVith him on a statement that the people of all sec tiems were glad the war of. secession did not succeed. The Itonse. The house in committee of the whole favorably acted upe»n a bill to appro priate to pay ex-Confederate soldiers for horses anil eetlier property taken from them in violation of the terms of Lee's surrender to Gen. Grant at Appomattox. This is the first bill favorably acted upon since the Civil war to pay Confederates for the property taken from them. The Senntc. Washington.

Smith, an nouncing that he1 had revoked the ap-, point nmnt of W. A. Clark as senator, made by Lieut. GOT. Spriggs, and had appointed Hon. Martin Maginnis to till the vacancy. At the request of Mr. Chandler, chairman eif the convmittee on privileges and elections, the tele gram was re'feTteel to his committee. "Is this telegram," inquired Mr. Al len. "to be taken as eenstruing that a vacancy exists in the sei-atorial repre sentation of Montani?" "I think the seat is vacant," replied Mr. Chandler. "IIow the vacancy was created is another thing." The resolution in the1 Montana sena torial case was laiel before1 the senate and en motieui of Mr. handler it went over until to-day. The Senate. Washington, May 22.—A pyrotechnic discussion of the status of the Boer commissioners now in Washington was precipitated iu the senate yester day bv a resolution effered by Mr. Al len of Nebraska extending to the com missiontrs the priA*ilege ef the tieior of the senate during their sojeuru in the national capital. -The vote- was de feated by a vote of 30 to 21, but not until after a sharp controversy be1 tweon its author and Mr. Davis, cliaii man of the e'ommittee e»n foreign rela tions. Mr. Alie n maintained that the resedutiem vyas in line Avith precedents, while Mr. Davis contended that under the peculiar cimumitane e the1 senate ought not to take any action that might be considered a recognition of Boer eliplomats until the presielent, who aleuie had the poAver to receive diplomatic representative's, had taken ae'tion. The posteitttee appropriation bill was finally passed, tlie amendment to appropriate $225,000 to carry on ex isting eontnu-ts f(r the pneumatic tube' service1 being agrecel to. An ef fort was made* by Mr. Morgan of Ala bama to displace the Spooner Philip pine biiy wiih the Nicaragua canal bill as the unfinished business, but it failed by a vote of 21 to 28. The Houne.

The former bill is designed to carry the law ef 1892 to its logie-al conclusion. The conA'ict la bor bill e-aused some sharp inquiries from me'inbe rs of the Southern states whe're prison labor is empleiyeel in the fie'hls and in the mine's, but uixm as surances that it Avonld not interfere with the production of coal, e-ottou or lumber. the opposition was not pressed.
