ill the Time of Ills Own Detent
Mr Chandler last night reopened in the
Senate the contested election case of
William A Clark Senator elect from
Montana lie called up the resolution of
fered a j ear ago as follows
That William A Clark was not
duly and legally elected to a scat In
the Senate of the United States by
tnc Legislature of the State of Mon
tana
Senator Chandler made a long and bit
ter argument against seating the Copper
King
Jle scored llr Clark for referring to
his defeat tn New Hampshire as the
country is nJ of another scoundrel and
held that the writer was a Montana gen
tleman
Mr Chandler was gien the noor at S
oclock and immediately proceeded with
his argument
Sir Alien suggested the absence of a
quorum The roll was called and less
than a quorum of Senators responded
The absentees were called and after
long delay forty five Senators were found
and n quorum had
Mr Chandler then offered a substitute
for the resolution providing that Wil
liam A Clark who obtained a seat in the
United States Senate under color of an
alleged election In Montana was guilt1
of briber and was proven guilty and Is
guilty of having broken the laws of the
State of Montana
Mr Jones of Arkansas objected to the
resolution as foreign to the business of
the Senate
Mr Chandler replied that he was rer
sonally responsible for all that he had to
say
Mr Morgan said that this was a mean
attack on a man who was not pioscnt
to defend himself
The Chair ruled that Mr Chandler had
the floor
Mr Chandler then read from a speech
made by Mr Clark in Helena in which
the latter attacked him Mr Chandler
These charges Mr Clark made In this
speech must be refuted by me before I
leave the Senate said Mr Chandler as
this rran is going to enter this Chamber
again on March 4 under what I charge to
be fraudulent credentials I deny that I
have ever persecuted this man The com
mittee decided that he was not entitled
to a seat
Mr Chandler then went over the case
In detail and said that the flight- of
Mr Clark had placed upon him a stigma
of criminality which could never be blot
ted out
If he was not guilty said he he
would never have run away from the de
cision of the Senate
He said that Mr Clarks political his
tory consisted entirely of a long round
of attempts to bribe legislators in Mon
tana He reviewed the old Clark Daly
feud and scored the former In ever- In
stance
As a reason for being so bitter against
Mr Clark Mr Chandler read a tele
gram which he had received from Mr
Clark referring to the action of the New
Hampshire legislature the telegram Is
as follows
The country is rid of another
scoundrel WILLIAM A CLARK
Mr Chandler said that Mr Clark would
be sworn in with honest men on Monday
He referred to the Castle of Clark on
rupont Circle where In the art gallery
Is a picture of a man holding his creden
tials in one hand and an expense account
of millions in the other hand The title
will be not One scoundrel disposed of
but one Montana gentleman not dis
posed of
Mr Chandler then sat down
Mr Pettus then arose and said that Mr
Chandlers Fpeech was a reminder that
when we Injure a man we feel mean and
mad at him because of our own dealings
against him
Let us turn away in silence said he
Mr Jones of Arkansas then presented
the credentials of William A Clark as a
Senator from Montana These were read
and no objection being made they were
placed on file
Mr Jones of Arkansas made a motion at
SO oclock that the Senate take up the Anti-Trust
bill The motion was defeated by
a -vote of 26 to 24
Mr Pettigrew moved that the Senate
consider the bill requiring all common
carriers to put automatic brakes on all
trains This was adopted by a vote of 33
to 21
The measure was discussed for a time
and at 1030 the Senate by unanimous
consent took a recess until 3 o clock this
afternoon

CHAMBERLAINS PLAN BLOCKED
Lord Hugh Cecil Opponed n Menaure
Itcgrnrdliifr Colnnl MnrriiiKei
LONDON March 2 Secretary Cham
berlain is angry with Premier Salisbury
son Lord Hugh Cecil a member of the
House of Commons who blocked a bill
which had been warmly approved by Mr
Chamberlain and which proposed to legal
Ire in England marriages with deceased
wives sisters which had beci contracted
In the colonies where such unions are
legal
Lord Cecil is the parllamentiry cham
pion of the extreme High Church party
which has alwajs fiercely opposed at
tempts to make such marriages legal Mr
Chamberlains irritation Is keen because
he has been advised that the new Austra
lian Commonwealth will Insist on the re
moval of the stigma to colonial marriages
of this kind and knowing this the Pre
miers son persisted in blocking the pro
posed legislation which kills the hope of
passing or discussing the bill at the pres
ent session
There Is said to be a considerable ma
jority in favor of the bill in the House of
Commons and the statehmen of the Aus
tralian Commonwealth looked to Salis
bury to secure a majority in the House of

LONDON March 2 The British Gov

Foreign Office unofficially to enquire what
course France would take In case the
United States undertook to construct a
fortified Nicaragua Canal The French
reply was that France had larger inter

herself
The French Government was however
indisposed to take an initiative thinking
that under the circumstances it would be
better that France should maintain com
plete freedom of action and that Great
Britain should also take its own course
without regard to French policy

tend his programme When the crowd at
last became satisfied with the musical

Cabinet Willing to Give Wn
The embarrassing question of tho prece
dence of Ambassadors of foreign coun
tries has come forward again In con
nection with the inauguration ceremonies
and the State Department the
of the Senate and Lord Paunce
fote the Dean ot the Ambassadors have
been exhanglng communications erbal
and written for the last daj or two The
Initial movement in the matter was made
by the Ambassadors who through Lord
Pauncefote addressed a note Fridaj to
tho Secretary of State asking what ar
rangements had been made In regard to
thiir participation In the ceremonies at
the Capitol They said also that the ar
rangements in the past had not been sat
isfactory and Intimated that they would
like to be accorded the positions due to
them as the personal representatives of
their sovereigns
Secretary wrote to
Ransdcll of the Senate about It
and jesterday was informed by him that
the Ambassadors would as usual receive
tho post ot honor next after the Chief
Justice nnd Associate Justices of the Su
preme Court
Within an hour or so after Lord
Pauncefote received this Information
from the Secretary of State he called at
the State Department As Secretary Hay
was absent Lord Pauncefote conducted
his business with Dr Hill the Assistant
Secretary A little later In the afternoon
Lord Pauncefote paid a second visit to
Dr Hill No definite conclusion was
reached at either of the interviews but
the matter will probably be adjusted
amicably after Lord Pauncefote has con
sulted with the Ambassadors
The Ambassadors nre not only the offi
cial representatives of their Governments
but also the personal and official repre
sentatives of their sovereigns As such
personal representatives they claim equal
rank with the President of the United
States and maintain that In order that
proper respect may be shqwn the high
rank ot their sovereigns or chief execu
tives they must have a position in pub
lic ceremonials next to President McKin
lcj
The State Department admits these con
tentions but it Is understood to be the
departments -view that the Inauguration
Is a domestic and national to
which the Ambassadors aro Invited as
spectators or as the French term Is as
assistants As spectators of highest rank
the Ambassadors will be assigned to first

LINE OF MARCH EXTENDED
Decided That the Parade Shall Go
to Washington Circle

AVnr Decline to Parttelpntc Id
Mnonted Baton for Gcnrral Greene
The Latent GrnernI Orders
The Inauguration parade will extend to
Washington Circle Instead as announced
in the general orders of marching through
Twentieth and Eighteenth Streets
The Grand Marshal last evening Issued
a supplemental order directing the charge
In the route The extension Is In accord
ance with the action of the Inauguration
Committee nt an early meeting deilnlns
the route to be traversed by tho Inaugu
ration pageant The action ot the Grand
Marstal in ignoring the decision of the
Inauguration Committee has been the oc
casion of angry protests on the part of
the residents upon the Avenue between
Twentieth and Twenty second Streets
Persons residing between Seventeenth
Street and Washington Circle have made
a prodigious effort to make that part dt
the Av enue most resplendent In the char
acter of Its decorations anticipating that
the procession would march to the latter
point as originally arranged by the In
auguration Committee The result of
these efforts Is shown In the wonderful
display of bunting and flags which Is
almost unsurpassed on any other part
of the Avenue
The sentiment of the disaffected resi
dents was communicated to Chairman
Edson ot the Inauguration Committee
In numerous letters of protest and tele
phonic complaints
Mr Edson when plans for the Inaugu
ration were commenced stated to General
Greene tho Grand Marshal that the route
of the parade had been defined by the In
auguration Committee and extended to
Washington Circle General Greene ap
parently overlooked this and later Issued
general orders directing the parade to
march through Eighteenth and Twentieth
Streets Mr Edson at once sent tha
Grand Marshal a copy of the resolution
concerning the route adopted by the In
auguration Committee with a letter re
questing him if the parade cojld be so
arranged to comply according to the di
rection of the committee At the same
time and at odd intervals as such com
munications were received at Inaugura
tion headquarters the -various protests
against the action of the Grand Marshal
were forwarded by Mr Edson to General
Greene General Greene and Mr Edson
conferred and the Grand
Marshal represented to Mr Edson In the
strongest light the fatigue entailed upen
the marchers by the addition of the extra
half mile to the length of the parade
Mr Edson was disposed to permit the
Grand Marshal to use his own discretion
Later however protests Increased
Yesterday Mr Edson met General
Greene at the Raleigh Hotel and the
Chairman of tho Inauguration Committee
was constrained to insist ur oa the exten
sion of the route to Washington Clrc5e
In view of the strength of the opposi
tion General Greene yielded gracefully
and expressed his desire to comply with
the wishes of all concerned in the Inau
guration ceremonies as tar as It could be
done It Is understood that General
Greene had no desire to oppose the wishes
of the Inauguration Committee but that
his action In altering the route was oc
casioned bj a lack of thorough under
standing of the situation
The following is the supplementary or
der issued yesterday afternoon directing
the parade to march to the Washington
Circle
Headquarters of the Grand Marshal
Washington D C March 2 133L

The Spanish War Veterans will not
march In the Inaugural parade Or
ders Issued last night by the Grand Mar
shal revoking parts of the general orders
governing the Inaugural parade and ar
ranging for the veteran escort of tho
President to the Capitol also directed
that the Spanish War Veterans should be
assigned to the place heretofore assigned
to the Fourth Division of the Military
Grand Division of the parade This posi
tion Is the same originally assigned to all
the -veteran organizations The- senior
v ice commander of the Spanish War Vet
erans Capt Lee M Lipscomb erbaily
informed General Sickles yesterday morn
ing of the decision of his organization not
to appear In the column
Later in the daj Captain Lipscomb ad
dressed a letter to General Sckles con

organization represented by himself not
to parade The letter follows

Maj Gen Daniel E Sickles V S
A retired
Sir I have the honor to acknowl
edge jour erhal communication ct
the 2Mh ult tendering an invitation
to the Spanish vvar Veterans to par
ticipate In the Inaugural parade on
tile 4th In t as a part of tho Fourth
Division While feeling very grateful
to you for the kindly Interest which
prompted jou to secure for us this
hororablo position in the column I
regret to inform you that owing to
the short time allowed me It will be
Impossible to have In line on that oc
casion a sufficient number of veterans
to properly represent our organiza
tion My present embarrassment In
the premises Is occasioned by the fact
that we expected in the outset that
our request that we be lncludeel in the
veteran organization that would form
the Presidents escort to the Capitol
on tho morning of the 4th inst would
be granted Owing to the Grand Mar
shals objection this honor was denied
us and such denial being communi
cated through the pres3 to ad sections
of the country forestalleel the actions
of such of our comrades as contem
plated participating In the parade as
Spanish var veterans Tho Invita
tion now extended to oceupj a differ
ent position In line comes so late that
we are unable to comply with the new
programme Vcrv respectfully
IrB M LIPSCOMB
Senior Vice Commander
General Sickles speaklnir of the conclu
sion reached by- tne Spanish War Veter
ans said
The lateness of the orders directing
the Spanish War Veterans to take part
In the parade Is one reason whj thej will
not march A more powerful reason how
ever Is found In tile fact that tha Soat
Ish War Veterans do not wish to pnjj
dlce their position In the future by ac
cepting the position assigned them Le
hlnd the National Guard organization
General Greene has not been notified or
the action of the Spanish War- Veterans
ofllciallj Ho directed attention to the
Tact that the participation ot tho veterans
of the civil war in the Inaugural ceremo
nies as the escort to the President was at
the invitation of the President and that
It was not within his province to extend
the Invitation to the Spanish War Veter
ans when the Invitation explicitly named
the veterans of the civil war as the escort
This condition precludes the Idea that he
has Interposed any objection to the Span-
