Th?- f? > ture of the ?hort session waa a state? ment mad-- by Mr. Clark (It, put,: . of Wyoming, as a matter of personal privilege, concerning his vote In favor ol the Teller resolution. Mr. Clark has received a diapatch from hla State, published In eastern newspa? pers, to the effect that Henry G. Hay, chairman of tho Laramie County Repub? lican Committee, had r?sigii<d because of th< Renator's vote on the Tell? r resolu? tion. Mr. Clark said that so much had been said of the trotes of the Wyoming Sena? tors, and as to the significance of these rotea, that he ?kerned it wise to make a statem? nt. He express'-d surprise that the motivas and d?signs of those voting for th, resolution ahould have been im? pugned. H. said that the attempt mad? to commit the Republican party to a line of policy n,-y, t laid down and never contemplated by that party, and the fur tiler effort to read out of the party those RepebltCBM who vot?'d for tho resolu? tion, would fail. As for hims?df, he de Cllned most emphatically to be lead out of the Republican party, an?! was satis le ?I that the D1BSB0S of that party would never convict him of political heresy on account of his vote. Mr. Clark thought the! the Democrats ought, in view of their record, to li:iv? supported tii? Nelson amendment, pro? viding that gold and sllvi r coins should !?? maintained at a parity. H? thought that the vote he had cast was no stain on his political party honor, and his vott for the Nelson amend man! aa a protest against stiver monometelllam. Ho felt that his voto was In Un.- with the Republican policy outlined at St. Louis.

The anti-civil ??ervice reformers won a light victory when Mr. Perkins (Itepub .,f Iowa, presented a resolution for rlnting the hearings before the Civil i -, lea ? rommittee, Mr. Oroavenoff antagonised the r?solu i..n.
