Testimony Was Not According to Or- dlnnrr Knles, and Wai Largely llrnciny and "Coloring Hatter." WASHINGTON. April 2S. The minority of tho members of the Senate committee on privileges and elections, consisting of Scnulotu Pettus and Harris, who do not uccept all the views of the majority of the committee in the ue of Senator Clark of Montana, today presented their dissenting opinion In the cast. The report begins with tlu; following statement: "We agreed and still agree to the reso lution adepted by the committee Itself. But the report Is merely the writing of the chairman, with the aid of ono other men-.ber, and never was submitted to any meeting of the committee, and therefore cunnot be considered as the words of the committee." They then proceed to state their reasons for dissent, which are based, they say. upim the opinion that tho committee did not regard the ordinary rules of evidence, but received hearsay evidence In "great volumm." They state their reasons for consenting to the statement In the majority report, "th.it the friends of Senator Clark Ille gally and Improperly used largo amounts of money and thereby caused tho election, and that this election la not valid, but, under the law of the land. Is void." They then enter upon a review of the present conditions In Montana. Referring to the initiative meeting 'of the Clark men and the attendance of Hon. A. J. Campbell at this conference and his later election to Congress, Messrs. Pettus and Harria remark: "So, to the extent named, Mr. Campbell got the benefit of that prt-ate meeting, of which he was a member, and the benefit of the money sent out by the committee to the executive committees In various countlce. Mr. Campbell was a well-known opponent of the Daly faction prior to and In 1SDS." Taking up ex-State Senator Whiteside's evidence, they say: "The evidence tends to show that White tide was unfriendly to W. A. Clark and that he rapde a threat to 'explode a bomb" If Clark became a candidate for the Sen ate; and that about the same day, Marcus Daly, In New York, made a threat to run Clark and his family out of Montana." Referring to the co-operation, during the Legislative scesion, of Campbell and Clark, they say that after Mr. Clark had heard the plan to entrap and betray his friend. Senator Clark, he told Whiteside, In tub etance: "Do not rely on your own evi dence to prove the chances." "Thus," they continue. "Campbell and Whiteside became united In a common cause. In December, 1S3S, and from thai time Whiteside had the benefit of Camp bell's advice. And Whiteside, If you credit his account of himself, acted well and nat urally the part of spy and tractor, and did 'explode a bomb." After the legislature adjourned, Campbell, with Marcus. Daly's money, went into the business of buying newspapers and hiring editors and selling them to work. He also became actlely engaged In the business of hiring detec tives with Daly's money. Among other hard cases, he employed one Benjamin Hill and set him to hunting up evidence ogalnpt his friend." Campbell Is ceverely arraigned for the opening, reading and reseailng of a sealed letter from BIckford to Roote, brought to Campbell by Hill. Reltrence is made to Campbell's pay ments to certain witnesses, and It Is re marked that "Mr. Campbell became Daly's agent to disburse money without limit as to amount, and In 1S99 was employed by a corporation controlled by Mr. Daly, at a salary of J5000 per annum. When last heard from, Mr. Campbell had disbursed about 740,000 of DalyE money In this case and had Incurred liabilities for fees to eminent counsel, amounts not named, and etlll had power to go on spending without limit as to amount. He conducted this case as leading counsel and became, also, one of the principal witnesses, but other counsel made the arguments." They also review the connection of State Attorney-General Nolan with the prosecu tion, referring with especial polntcdness to his use of notes of testimony taken be fore the grand Jury of Lewis and Clark Counties, saying: "He could not be Induced to eee the slightest Impropriety In his disclosure of the secrets of the grand Jury on this wholesale promise of pardons, especially given for the uie of Mr. Campbell in the work In which he was then engaged. This Attorney-General came to Washington, took an active part In the prosecution and la suggretlng Trltncssci. and on the wlt-ne.'t-Ftand could not conceal his bias." They pronounced the testimony connect ing the Montana Supreme Court with the cryf as "Irrelevant," and say: 'This transaction, so far as wo are In-fc.-nicd. occurred six or seven months nii'7 the Senatorial election; no fact proved connects Mr. Clark with any part of that transaction. Mr. Tracy had no sort of connection, directly or Indirectly, with Mr. Clark: and If he had. there was no connectfdh W-fwlic'tfthe election In Jan uary and the Supreme Court JudgC3 In the Tall of that year. All of the evidence was nothing more than what may be called 'coloring matter.' And It was admitted against the protect of the Senator from Maryland and others. And In the conduct of this cae much other mere 'coloring matter was received as evidence." They criticise the report of the commit tee, saying that It contains "several cu rious statement of a rart of the evidence as to the thing stated. Tor example, they say "It Is stated that Senator Clark la June, 1K93, destroyed the checks which he had drawn on h'.s bank. But the re Iort falls to state that for years pat It was his habit to destroy his checks when his account was rendered by the back and examined. And the report failed to Halo that the committee had the bank Account of Mr. Clark during nil the time In which It was charged that money had been Illegally used." Thpy.n'o assert that In the main report "statement.-; -are made as facto which are based rntlrely tn the testltncny of a wit ness at doubtful credit, and that testi mony plainly contradicted." In closing, they say: The only proposition for which we con tend Is that thl Is a Judicial case, and a committee of the Senate ought to con rider end report It as Judges." THREE PERSONS KILLED.

' in THE ECUMENICAL CONFERENCE Five Sectional Meeting Held The Addresses Delivered. NEW YORK. April 25. Bishop Dudley, of Kentucky, presided at the opening of today's session of the Ecumenical Con ference. The regular day's work In Car negie Hall was the consideration of edu cational work. During the afternoon five sectional meetings were held. An appeal to the Ecumenical Confer ence has been made by all the Indian missionaries in attendance for the relief of the starving in India. The missionaries say: "We desire to add to the testimonials from many sources already given to the public by the press our confirmation found ed on personal knowledge and experience, of the unparalleled and Indescribable grav ity of the present famine situation In In dia. A calamity eo overwhelming In its vastness, so appalling In the suffering It Inflicts on millions of the most helpless of mankind, claims the attention, the pity and the succor of every member of the family of nations. "We, many of us, bear In grateful mem ory, as do our Indian brothers and sis ters, the relief which American generosity brought to thousands and tens of thou sands in India, in the famine of 1S37; in the far more powerful visitation which the mysterious providence of God has now permitted to afflict that great land, we turn to the United States for renewed and enlarged bounty for all that an enlight ened humane and wealthy nation can do to aid her stricken and starving, her poor and patient sister." The executive committee of the confer ence has practically arranged for a meet ing on behalf of the famine-stricken. "Educational Literature as a Means of Moral Training" was the subject of the address of Rev. H. C Dwlght, LL. D., a missionary of the American Board, Bos ton, In Constantinople. Dr. Dwlght said In part: "Experience In the mission field has re discovered the power of the press. Mis sionaries have found new interest In the ability cf books to carry truth to places where oral argument would be refused hearing, to Inform where time would lack on the part of both speaker and hearer for full explanation, and to persist in ac tivity long after mere spoken words would have faded from the memory. Hence the conviction found extensively among out missionaries that the book Is an Instru ment of evangelization second to none In Its effectiveness. "From this point of view, all literature may be called educational. It has the purpose of making each book a simple but trusty guide to the principles of science to which it relates. Nothing requisite to the work Is sacrificed, nothing needless Is lugged unwillingly Into the book to deform It, but the Christian personality, the high principles and the love of humanity of the writer cling like a subtle perfume about the book, and somehow transfer them selves insensibly to the student's mind. This Is the grade of Intelligence which the missions must command If schoolbooks are to do the work which they may do as means of moral culture." The Place of Education In Missions" was the subject considered by Rev. W. T. Barber, head master of Leys School, Cam bridge, England. He said that the mini mum equipment of a missionary lnanylana must Include the preaching to the heathen, the church for public worship and the school for training the young. In lands of the East even the first generation ot Christians will need more than the ele ments of knowledge. The religion Is ev erywhere spoken against and rejected: IU votaries, conscious of power, will have to win their place by sheer force of merit. "The native systems have their own standards; the Christian Church must as sert Its value in national life by obvious Intellectual as well as moral strength. It must have its natural leaders, and they must be educated. It cannot live perma nently by the initiative and dominance of the Western missionary. It will need na tive pastors who will be true overseers, teachers who will be true educators, lead ers who will be true thinkers. The Chris tian School must stand so high as a giver of knowledge that no secular Institution can afford to point the finger of scorn at its equipment or its alumni." Rev. Jacob Chamberlain, a missionary to HIndoostan. said In an address at the Carnegie Hall meeting of the Ecumenical Conference last night: "There Is a trend In India today toward the acceptation of our Christianity, but without our Christ: that Is. merely accept ing the morality taught in the Bible. This Is accounted for by the fact that many today reject the Incarnation of Brahma, and as n natural sequence It Is difficult to get them to accept the reincarnation of Christ. A few years ago. a prominent Hindoo said In my presence: I have read the Bible mysilf. have noted its system of morality, and I say unhesitatingly that I know of nothing at all comparable to THE RUNNING RACES.

Every Day the Boers Delay at We- ot Success Then for Pretoria. pener Iasprores British. Chances LONDON, April 5. The Indecisive action and slow progress of Generals Hart and Brabant are relatively unimportant when compared with the progress of General French. It is now evident that Lord Rob erts' wishes are not only to defeat the Boers, but to pen them In as at Paarde berg. To this end, 40.000 British troops are concentrating- In the southeastern por tion of the Orange Free State, and are op erating according to carefully devised plans, and the delay may be due as much to strategy as to necessity. The success of this important movement almost entirely depends upon General French. If he can swoop down from the north with the rapidity of execution which he displayed at Klmberiey and Paarde berg. ho will effect the same swift, sudden transformation which followed the cav alry evolution two months ago. Accord ing to last accounts, he was pushing on successfully. Every day the Boers remain at Wepener improves General French's chances of success. To put a girdle around the 23.000 Boers estimated to be in the southeastern part of tho Orange Free State, Lord Rob erts has evidently taken large chances. The British critics differ regarding the re sult, some declaring It Is impossible for the Boers to escape, while others reserve their opinion until more definite news of General French's progress Is received. There Is a general Impression that tho main advance upon Pretoria will be taken up without any reconcentratlon at Bloem fonteln, as, with more than half the Brit ish army stretched In echelon across the Orange Free State, such- a change In direc tion would Indefinitely delay the accom plishment of Lord Roberts main objective. BOERS WELL INTIIEXCIIED. Dot They Are Steadily Forced to Re tire Sew Tactics. NEY YORK. April 23. A dispatch to the Tribuno from London says: The news from the Free State presents a clear view of the situation on Monday night and a partial glimpse of yesterday's oper ations. A portion of General Tucker's division remains at Karee Siding with the Boers intrenched at Brnndfort with their re serves at WInburg. One brigade has moved eastward. The sixth division is encamped at Bloemfontcln. General Pole Carew's division, with two brigades of cavalry, has occupied Leeuw Kop, after driving the Boers from a" series of strong positions, without meeting serious resist ance. The mounted Infantry, under Gen eral Hamilton, occupied the water works, and the Boers held the line of hills fur ther cast. General French sent out cavalry toward De Wet's Dorp yesterday. Infantry fol lowing, communication being opened with Sir Henry Bundle during the afternoon. General Bundle was still marking time In front of De Wet's Dorp, with the Boers well Intrenched. Brabant's Colonials, with Hart's brigade, supporting them, had flanked the Boers' position at Bushman's Kop and forced the enemy to retire. They had then continued the advance toward Wepener. having had a running fight with the enemy throughout Monday. They were within eight miles of Wepener at noon yesterday, and were In a fair way to relieve Colonel Dalgetys plucky Aus tralians. The enemy around Wepener was apparently preparing to retreat without waiting to meet tho relieving force. These various operations nre Illustrated by tho diagonal lines of squares on a chess board, both nrmlcs being echeloned at four stations. General Brabant, in ths southeast. Is ready to make a move which will secure Wepener and force the Boers to retire towards De Wet's Dorp or Lady brand. Generals Rundle and French, in the two middle squares, are preparing to drive the enemy from De Wet's Dorp and the water works toward Thabanchu, and General Tucker In the north is threaten ing Brandfort. The result of these oper ations Is favorable to the British, but there Is no decisive success apart from the relief of Wepener, which has vir tually been effected. The military ex perts have been hoping that the Boers would be caught In another Paardeberg. but there Is no proof that the lines ot retreat are cut oft either from Wepener. De Wet's Dorp or Korn Spruit, although one road has been blocked by General Tucker. The effect of the British operations. If there be no setback, will be the clearance of the district cast of Bloemfonteln. Lord Roberts tactics are Ingeniously de vised. He meets .the Boers In their own way, but In superior strength. Their plan is always to have a series of commandos In touch with one another. He adopts the same system, placing his divisions In echelon and outnumbering them at every point. Press dispatches contain some Interest ing touches, although the fighting has been desultory and indecisive. Thousands of Basutos arc following the forces toward Wepener. looking on from the edge of the frontier like the spectators at tho paling of a bull ring, and admlrlns the good points of tho game. The white races are offering the blacks entertaining sport, even If they ate not helping to Chris tianize them. Lord Roberts report at midnight con tained a lucid summary of the situation, with one or two new feautrcs. The Ninth division had been sent from Bloemfonteln to support General Hamilton's mounted brigade at the water works, as the Boers were holding the outlying hills In scmo force. General Maxwell's brigade of the seventh division had also moved cast ward and seized the hills covering the wagon bridge over the Modder River at Kranz Kraal, thereby closing an Import ant line of the Boer retreat northward from various positions In the south. There Is still, however, another road open to them further east. The missing patrol of the Dragoon Guards had rejoined General French. Lord Roberts was evidently well, satisfied with the situation, and tho movements of the entire army dlscloce unity of di rection and clearness of purpose. Tho Boers are apparently attempting the diversion In tho direction of Lord Methuen, having' reinforced their com mandos in that quarter. General Hunter's brigades have been re ported on the way to Klmberiey from Capo Town. DISPATCHES FROM nOBEKTS. Boers Generally Abandon Positions as British Move Upon Them. LONDON. April 25.-2:35 P. M.-Lord Roberts has telegraphed the following message to the War Office: "Bloemfonteln. April 25. De Wet's Dorp was occupied by Chermslde without oppo sition at 9:20 this morning." Satisfactory Pro (tress. LONDON, April 23. 4:27 P. M. Tho War Offlco has received tho following dispatch from Lord Roberts: "Bloemefontcln. April 23. Pole-Carew's division occupied Roodc Kop yesterday evening without casualties. The advance was covered by cavalry and horse artl! ery. which drove back the enemy with leavy losses, their dead being left on th ground. The mounted troops halted for the night at Grootfontelnj and at 7:30 this morning were crossing the Modder River at Valsb&nk In accordance with my instructions to French to endeavor to place himself astride the enemy's lines of retreat. "French's arrival near the Modder evi dently, however, alarmed the Boers, who evacuated their strong position neat De Wet's Dorp during the night and It was occupied by Chermslde's division -this morning. The mounted Infantry under Ian Hamilton drovo tho enemy off the kopjes In tho neighborhood ot the water works without casualties on our side. "The Highland brigade marched 24 miles yesterday to support General Hamilton, and halted for the night at Klip. Kraal, four miles short of Sanna's Post. Bra bant and Hart are still a few miles short of Wepener and the numbers of the enemy appear to have somewhat Increased dur ing the last few days, but It Is not likely there will be much trouble In the neigh borhood of Wepener. onco De Wet's Dorp is occupied by our troops. "I Inspected the City Imperial Volunteer Battalion yesterday on their arrival at Bloemfonteln. They are in fine form and look very workmanlike. "I also Inspected thsj First Company ot Imperial Yeomanry, which has arrived here. The men turn out smart and their horses are In an admirable condition." Dalarety Kept Basy. MASERU, Basutoland. Tuesday, April 24. On the breaking up of the blvouack this morning. Generals Brabant and Hart discovered that the Boers who fell back towards Wepener yesterday had advanced during the night several miles nearer to Straus farm, which Is a favorable posi tion for resistance. Colonel Dalgety was severely attacked with six guns this morning, probably with a view of preventing him assisting tho relief column. It seemed yesterday that Dalgety had practically been relieved, but the offensive attitude assumed by the Boers this morning shows this Idea to havo been erroneous. General Hnrt Is now a few miles behind General Brabant's dlls!on, which is wait ing for the former to come up. Thirteen British wounded were removed to Mafeklng at midnight and placed In tho English Church. Benefit for the Boer Cause. NEW YORK, April 25. The Woman's Auxiliary League of the Boer Relief Fund Association will give a benefit In aid ol the Boers at the Metropolitan House this evening. At a recent meeting of the General Relief Fund Association. Bourke Cockran. the chairman, said: "The heart and mind and sympathy of the great American Republic are with the noble and Intrepid men who are gladly sacrificing their lives and their property In the cause of right and liberty. We must show them that though we cannot nld them in their holy war by our stalwart arm, out hearts are with them." The advance sale of boxes has been enormous. Explosion Xot Dae to Boer Sympathy NEW YORK. April 25. A rpeclal to the Herald from Washington says: An Inves tigation extending over the last two months Into the reports that a conspiracy had been planned In the United States against Canada on account of the Boef War, has brought out nothing to sub stantiate them. This Investigation wa conducted as a result of representations made to the State Department by the British Government. It Is certainly a fact, according to State Department officials, that no evi dence has been obtained showing that persons in this country conspired to de stroy the Welland Canal Strong; Force of Boers. MASERU, Basutcland, Tuesday. April 24. Evening Generals Hart and Brabant covered only a short distance today and, finding a strong force opposed to them, bivouacked on the ground they bad occu pied. The firing has been desultory and the casualties very slight. The British are edging up towards the Basutoland border. Persistent rumors are in circulation that Commandant Olivier, with 1500 men, is preparing to attack General Hart's rear. There Is no jlgn of the advance of Gen eral Rundle from De Wet's Dorp.

Payment of Plaa-ne Fire Losses Fleet for Sugar Shipments Large Damage Snlt Beg-on. SAN FRANCISCO. April 25. The steam er Australia, from Honolulu, brings the following advices to tho Associated Press, dated April IT: The plague seems to have entirely dis appeared, and tho United States Consul Issued the first clean bill of health to a vessel departing from here since December 12. to the schooner Bertha Miner, which sailed for Puget Sound April 14. The Council of State has adopted tne following resolution: "Resolved. That It is the sense of the Council of State that the Hawaiian- Gov ernment should pay all Just claims for losses caused by the action taken by the Board of Health In connection with the suppression of the bubonic plague: that Is, losses caused by the burning of houses, furniture and goods by direct order of the Board of Health, as well as losses caused by the accidental spread of fire on Jan uary 20, 1S00, and losses caused by the fencing up of land on which houses have been burned; further. "That the Council of State most earn estly advises the executive council to appoint a new Court of Claims of five members, at least three of whom shall b business men." President Dole has not acted on the resolution as yet. Sixteen ships and three barks will com. prlso the fleet to carry the 1S0O sugar shipments around Cape Horn. The ves sels will carry about C2.B0O tons of sugar from tho various Island ports to the At lantic side. The authorities of the Australian colo nics have been notified that all vessels bound from Infected Australian ports touching here will be quarantined, and tho vessels must carry satisfactory bills of health If they wish to call here. In spectors representing tho Hawaiian Gov ernment havo been appointed at each cf the three affected Australian ports. Suit for 3SO.0O0 has been brought against the owners of the steamer MIowera on account of the refusal of Captain Henntng, of that vessel, to carry 29 members of Hogan's minstrels from this port to Vic toria. Tho paraphernalia of the company had been taken to the dock and fumigat ed, when Captain Henntng sent word that he could not take the company. The minstrels allege that the color-line was drawn, but the agents of the steamer say that there was no room on the vessel for the troupe. Gallclans Returning Home. SAN FRANCISCO. April 25. Among tho passengers on the steamer Australia from Honolulu today were 37 Gallclans. who were taken to the Hawaiian Islands over a yar ago under contract to work on the plantations. On arriving there they found that the conditions prevailing had been misrepresented, and refused to work. They were Imprisoned under an Hawaiian law. but were ordered released by the government, and they now are being re turned to their native land at the ex pense of tho United States. Hat Bonnty of 25 Cents. WASHINGTON. April 23. The Surgeon General of the Marine Hospital Service has received a report from Surgeon Car mlchael. In charge at Honolulu, dated April 9. He says that since his report of March 31 one new case of plague has been discovered. The victim was a white girl, and the case was fatal. The con ditions are encouraging. Only one de tention camp was open. There were two convalescents at tho pesthouse, but no other cases. No new cases has been re ported from the other Islands. . Surgeon Carmlchacl denies the report that there has been a large number of deaths from plague on the Island of Kalauhui. No general crusade has been begun against the rats, which have spread the plague, but a bounty of 23 cents had been offered, and a professional ratcatcher appointed by the Board of Health.

Dr. Kiddle and Sutherland were wounded by cross-bows, and while lying on the ground were stoned to death by the Was. Litton was rendered temporarily Insensi ble by a stone, but, recovering, he seized a gun and shot a Was, who was going to finish him with a spear. Four of the Chinese escort were killed. The Chinese Sergeant, although severely wounded, be haved with gallantry. Thrco days after this outrage, the united British and Chinese forces attacked the Was, and a sharp encounter took place, the entire spur of the Was stock, ado belng cleared. The group of Was villages Implicated In the original attack was then mado object of attack by the British-Chinese force, ard as a result 2000 houses were burned and CO Was were killed. In this second fight four Chinese were killed and 20 wounded, while of the British force, one Gurkha was killed and seven wounded. The Tsung-H-Yamcn has received a tele gram from Chinese officials in Yunnan t the effect that British troops, reinforced by 200 men from Bhama. destroyed and burned the Chinese fortresses at Te Tso and Pa Nlh, on the Burmah-Yunnon fron tier, killing eight Chinese soldiers. This was in reprisal for an attack upon the British Commission. The Yamen was ter rified by this Intelligence, and Immediate ly sent a humbio message to the British Minister, Sir Claude MacDonald. begging him to prevent any further drastic meas ures by the British troops on the frontier, promising to make every effort to give full redress by China for the outrage, if the British soldiers were restrained. They begged the Minister to use his Influence to obtain a peaceful settlement, and a calm investigation into the outrage. Mac Donald declined to Influence British ac tion in Yunnan.

Mr."Bunker is of the opinion that there la no ground for fearing that Siberia will become a serious competitor of the United States In wheat-raising.

April 18. (To the Editor.) In your Issue of the loth Ins:, you quote the Klamath Falls Express to show that there was dishonorable action In going back on the caucus In the recent Republican County Convention at Klam ath Falls. We do not worry here over what that Democratic paper sajs about our conventions or our candidates. We do not get disappointed, because we do not expect the truth from that sheet, on such subjects. The Orcgonlan has been misled this time, and would better be cautious about taking political Items from the Ex press. It Is not authority on Republican news, especially while Its only hope of Its own side's winning anything In this campaign In through sowing and culti vating dissension among Republicans. This was tho object of the item quoted by The Oregonlan. The same article charged the said convention with Jobbery, selling out, trading, etc., when the truth is that no convention was ever before held In this county by any party that was freer j of treatment peculiar to each form, and stage that cannot fall to cure If the patient will dally do his part and nse the treatment faithfully. The trouble Is that some patients nrlll not follow up their treatment continuously and systematically, as they should, for experience tenches us this Is the only way catarrh can be permanently cured.

Portlnnd: Our little boy Leo was a great sufferer from catarrh, compli cated with frequent attacks of tonsllltls. His condition caused us grave alarm; for. In spite of all treatment, he grew steadily worse, and his general health became greatly Impaired. The Copeland physi cians cured him perfectly. HOME TREATMENT.

I havo been to all of them. In the said caucus, about which the Ex press was so much concerned, we dis tinctly voted that the convention proper was not to be bound at all by the action of the caucus as to candidates. This was an unusual proceeding and resolved tho caucus Into mcro by play, possioiy it made It a piece of foolishness, but It will require a better moralist than tho Ex press man to cause any one with any 1 common sense to see anything dlshonor- . able about said proceedings.
