THE SUNDAY OEEGONIAN, PORTLAND, JANUARY 14, 1900. ROMISES OF CLARK Witnesses Related Conversa tions With the Senator AT THE HEARING YESTERDAY He Looked Upon Bribery an Trifling Matter, According to One of Them'. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 13. Owing to the failure of witnesses to appear, the senate committee on privileges and elections to day adjourned the hearing in the Clark senatorial contest case until next "Wednes day. The principal witnesses heard to day were M. L. Hewitt and Charles M. Jackson. C. W. Clark, son of the sena tor, was also before the committee for a few moments to testify to the disappear ance of certain letters written to his father. Both Hewitt and Jackson related conversations alleged to have been held with Mr. Clark. Mr. Hewitt said Mr. Clark had told him he had perfect confi dence In State Senator Whit--lde as a friend, and "had said he had "paid his supporters all he owed them." Mr. Jack son is a member of the legislature of Utah, and he testified that in trying to Influence his (Jackson'e) vote in that body, Clark had. told him he bad used money to secure his own election to the senate, saying this was a common practice among aspiring men of means. The Hearing. "When the committee began Its session the defense stated they had been unable to Und the letters written to Clark and BIckford by Dentist Ector, who yesterday produced their letters to him. It was then decided to have C. "W. Clark, son of the senator, make a statement as to the disposition f the documents, but Clark being absent, Mr. Garr was recalled to afford Senator Tarley an opportunity to question him concerning his visits to Helena prior to the meeting of the legislature last winter. Garr said the principal object of his visit was to see about his resignation as United States commissioner. The first regular witness of the day was M. L. Hewitt, a miner, who was In Helera during the session of the legisla ture in 1S89. He said Charley Clark asked him to see Senator Myers and offer him J1000 for his vote for Clark for senator. He had accordingly talked with Myers and testified that the gentleman had told him after first declining the proposition to say to Clark that if he was disposed to do so, he could put $10,000 in the hands of White side to be paid to him (Myers) in case he should vote for Clark. Hewitt said that Clark's son stated this arrangement was satisfactory, and had afterwards told him the money for Myers had been given to "Whiteside and his vote uas assured. Hewitt said that during the senatorial contest he had talked fre quently with Clark. Once he had remon strated with the senator concerning Whiteside, as a well-known supporter of Daly, but the senator had, he aid, as sured him that "Whiteside's fidelity was acsured because of the fact that he CWhiteside) was in trouble with Clark's opponents over a building he was con structing in Butte. After the Esposnrc. "Witness also said he had seen the sen ator at his rooms at the Helena hotel a thori time after the Whiteside exposure. and had asked him what he proposed to do, when the tenator had replied: "There is only one thing to do. and that is to make people believe the Daly gang has furnished money and has put up a conspiracy against us." ' I asked him." continued the witness, "if he could make that stick, to which he replied. 'There's no trouble about the deal, because If we put up a good excuse people will believe us, and we can again jget members together. " The witness also detailed a conversation which he said he had with Senator Clark the eve of the Investigation by the su preme court, in which he told the senator that Tom Lyons, one of the senator's workers, had threatened to go to court and terrify against Clark because the latter's friends had not kept their promises to him. According to the witness the sena tor had then replied: "I don't owe these (using an offensive phrase) anyth'ng. I have paid them all they asked. I am under no obligation to them, and I expect them to do as they aproed to do by me." Mr. Hewitt said, however, that Clark added that he would have his son see Lyons. He said that Clark had often spoken to him of his son, and of Messrs. Wellcome. Bickford, Steele and others, as his friends in the senatorial fight. Well come and Charley Clark were regarded as the senator's special representatives. Drifted Into the Contest. On cross-examination, Hewitt said he was a republican and not especially In terested in any of the senatorial candi dates. He had "just drifted into the con test." He pronounced as Incorrect the re port of the testimony taken before the Lewis and Clark county grand jury fur nished by the memorialists, and he had r.ot told all the facts to the jury. In deed, he had never told all to any one lentil he had given the details to Mr. Bir ney, one of the attorneys for the memo rialists, .n "Washington a few days ago. Senator Faulkner's questions were de voted to showing the inconsistency on the rart of the witness in refusing to give the details to the Montana repre sentative of the prosecution, whom he knew, and then giving them to Birney, whom he did not know. He asked Hew itt whether Birney had not promised to see that he was taken care of, but the witness replied emphatically in the nega t.v, adding, that he had "received noth ing and no promise of anything from the anti-Clark people for his part in this pro ceeding." Urdpr pressure, he said that when he v.ent before the grand jury he had de sired not to reveal all his transactions during the sitting of the legislature. He had only replied to questions asked him and he did not consider that he had perjured himself in withholding some of th facts. He had. however, made up his mind to tell the whole truth here. Concluding his testimony, Hewitt said he had received no pay for his services for C irk and no promise of any. He had bc.n interested with the senator in a min ing company and preferred him to his op ponents. C. W. Clark was next called. He was questioned concerning letters to Dr. Ec tor from hmself, his father and Bickford, which were referred to In Ector's testi mony yesterday, and to which the letters from Senator Clark produced yesterday were said to be replies. He said he had last seen them during the Wellcome dis barment trial, and was sure that he had put them In his trunk to bring East. He could not find them, however, and thought tley must be in New York. He was sure he had not destroyed them, and said he nould go to New York and get them. A Utah Legislator. The next witness was Charles W. Jack son, a newspaper man residing in Salt Lake, and a member of the legislature of that state. He testified that he met Mr. Clark at the Knutsford hotel, in Salt Lake, during the senatorial deadlock in that state last February, and that Mr. Clark had tried to Influence him to vote for McCune-for United States senator from ttah, intimating that in case he would do go hp would be paid for the act. Relating to the conversation, Mr. Jack sen said that Clark had said that Mc Oune was a liberal man, who never forgot hiS friends, and said "if I should see my way clear to voting for him, he had no doubt he would do something handsome for me." Jackson said he had declined, and that Clark had then proceeded to argue the point, saying that all scandals of that I character soon died out; that it was the custom of men of wealth to spend monty to secure election to the senate. Jackson said Mr. Clark cited the case of Senator Hanna, of Ohio, as in point. He said that Mr. Clark stated that in his own case he had used money to secure his own election, which had then but recently oc curred. His election caused some talk, and some members had foolishly exhibited some bills in a careless way, but he had no doubt the talk would die out. and he would hear little of It. Mr. Clark had asked him to regard the conversation as confidential. When Mr. Jackson concluded his testi mony it was announced that no more wit nesses would be examined before Wednes day next, and after an executive session the court adjourned. CANADIAN INDIANS MAY RISE Fears That They Will Take Advan tage of Absence of Police. MONTREAL, Jan. 13. There is fear of the Canadian Indians In the Northwest rising owing to the withdrawal of some of the mounted police for the Transvaal. The condition Is considered serious. Clif ford Seaton, minister of the Interior, and the commissioner have telegraphed the In dian agents to warn the Indians that mis conduct on their part will mean a stop page of the government bounty, and any outbreak will be suppres-sesd by force. The white men and halfbreeds who have been doing their best to foment trouble will be compelled to leave the country. The department of the interior was in formed by cipher telegram that a serious state of affairs exists In the northern por tions of Asslnniboihe and Alberta, along the Saskatchewan. The Indians of the northern district, principally the Crows, it appears, have been taking a great In terest in the South African war, and have been most anxious to get every scrap of news concerning it. At first their anxiety to get news seemed to be merely that of members of a fighting race who took an Interest in any trouble anywhere, but within the past few days affairs have taken on a dangerous aspect. White men, adventurers of a most undesirable type, have been telling the Indians that the British government is doing exactly what the Indians believe the Canadian govern ment did in 1885 that is, attempting to steal from the Boers the lands upon which their fathers lived, and which belong to them just as much as, in the belief of the braves of a decade and a half ago, the whole Northwest belonged to the red men. The Indian agents and the mounted police have found the Indians excited by these tales, and in some cases the agents have gone to the trouble of trying to counteract the reports by getting the aborigines together. o TIME IS SHORTENED. Northwestern Opens a New Line Over the -Mississippi. The Chicago & Northwestern railway has considerably shortened the time to Chicago by opening for freight and pas senger traffic Its new line between Clinton and Davenport, la., and Mollne, 111., via the Davenport, Rock Island & Northwest ern railway. As the Davenport & North western controls the terminals at Rock Island, Mollne and Davenport, as well as the bridge across the Mississippi between these cities, the new arrangement will effect a considerable saving of time. It will be necessary to make no transfers of freight, and only one of passengers, at the union depot in Clinton. -o HOTEL ARRIVALS. THE PORTLAND Thos Allison, San. Fr Frank J Wall.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13. The Mer chants' Exchange has received advices that the British ship Red Rock arrived safely at Clyde after she had been given up as lost and the check for the payment of 90 per cent reinsurance made out. She sailed In ballast from New Caledonia. She was driven far out of her course in a se vere storm. The ship was 115 days in covering the distance that usually requires but seven for such a smart vessel. a "Better live well than live long." Tou may experience both If you take Hood's Sarsaparllla, THE TURNING MOVEMENT BUIiIiER'S FLANS WERE EVIDENTLY KNOWN TO THE BOERS. The Entire Ladysmlth Garrison "En gaged in Last Saturday's Battle The Boer Losses. NEW YORK. Jan. 13. Discussing the Anglo-Boer war situation, the London cor respondent of the Tribune says: No further news has yet been issued with regard to General Buller's flank movement, but the general feeling as ex pressed in this morning's newspapers is one of hope rather -than anxiety. Buller is apparently attempting the turning movement west of Colenso, which nearly all military experts were expecting when his first battle was fought December 15, directly in front. The military writers have assumed dur ing the last fortnight that there would be a turning movement, but that it would be east of Colenso from Weenen. Some of these experts clung with tenacity to their theory yesterday, and described the Pot gieter demonstration as a feint designed to distract Joubert's attention from the real point of attack at the other- end of the line, but this explanation was not borne out by General Buller's own pres ence at Springfield. He had probably been waiting for the completion of his mule transport service, which would en able him to carry the main body of his army away from the railway base of sup plies and fight day after day on the ene my's flank until a junction could be ef fected with White's army. The veterans also suggested that he might have lin gered In his camp until General Roberts' arrival at Cape Town, in order to allow the new commander-in-chief the privilege of vetoing at the last moment the pro posed plan of campaign. Whatever the precise cause of his Inac tion, General Buller was at last in the saddle and a second battle or series of battles would be fought for the relief of Ladysmlth. Singularly enough the only previous reference to this western turn ing movement which had appeared in print, was In a dispatch from the Boer camp at Colenso. It was a vague rumor that the British were building a rail way from Frere camp toward Potgieter's drift. The occupation of the south bank of the Tugela at that point could not have been a surprise to the Boers. The drift Is at the apex of a long bend or loop, and back of it are low ranges of kopjes, with broken country all the way to Ladysmlth. A turning movement east of Colenso would have threatened the main line of -the Boer communications northward, but would have left the Free State troops free to retire westward to their own frontier. A turning movement west of Colenso by Potgieter's drift, If successful, would cut off the direct line of retreat of the Free State burghers to their mountain passes, but would not block their way northward, unless General White should attack in the rear. The clubs were crowded with loungers last night eager to hear the important news which they were confident would come before morning. There was an un wonted air of bustle and cheerfulness at the war office. But hour after hour passed without disclosures. There was a general conviction that the crisis of the campaign had come and that General Buller was in a position to retrieve his reputation by a series of great strokes. The dangerous character of this flank movement, by which his own camp at Chevely would be exposed to a counter act by the Dutch, was also discerned, and the probability of a series of despe rate, battles sobered every one. The pro cess of reconstructing the cabinet, which has been the chief employment of the marplots and pessimists, was suspended until Buller could be heard from. The message which would electrify or doom to fresh disappointment the English peo ple had not come at midnight. As the names in the casualty Qlst of the Ladysmlth battle represent 18 mili tary organizations, it Is clear that nearly the whole garrison was engaged In the 17 hours' fight. This list disposes effeotually of the Boer estimates of losses, which General Buller took needless pains to cor rect. Those losses were evidently heavy, unless General White's men were forced to spare their ammunition. A Boer tele gram from Pretoria now admits that while the burghers were successful at the beginning of the storming of the plateau at Ladysmlth, on the 7th, subsequently they were compelled to abandon two of their positions. From Boer advices it appears that last Sunday at Colesbirrg the British were beaten back with loss. A Berlin telegram to the Standard says the summoning of an International confer ence to discuss and conclude a conven tion on international maritime law to be siged by the powers Interested in the mat ter is now under consideration. The text of Lord Salisbury's reply to the American government serves to alter the opinion of experts in international law on one point. Lord Salisbury has not set a bad precedent for the -United Kingdom, which in any future war with a European power will have no neutral Delagoa bay, whereas every Continental nation wll have neutral territory bordering upon it. He has ruled that breadstuffs are not contraband, unless destined for the ene my's forces. This decision exempts food stuffs not specially designed for an army or fleet, and is in accordance with the naval orders given the American cruisers during the war with Spain. Lord Salisbury's action, while based upon rulings of English courts, is wholly In accord with the continuous American practice, which discriminated between provisions for the ordinary use of life In the enemy's country and provisions for military or navy use. Pro-Boer Sentiment From Australia. SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 13. According to J. F. Archibald, editor and proprietor of the Sydney Bulletin, who arrived here yesterday from Australia, there is a growing feeling in Australia that the Brit ish colonies are making a serious mistake In aiding England to wage war against tne Transvaal. "It was a grave error for Aus tralia to send our troops to South Africa," ho said. "It amounts to an abandonment of our Independence." Personally Mr. Archibald considers the war with the Transvaal monstrous, unjustifiable and en tirely unprovoked. He said: "Joseph Chamberlain Is a Judas who has betrayed all parties and interests with which he has been Identified. He betrayed the radicals; he betrayed Gladstone and now he has betrayed his country for the benefit of the people with whom he was in communication at the time of the Jameson raid. England deserves to lose the fight, because of its manifest unjustness." Snlphnr Xot Contrnlmnd. NEW YORK, Jan. 13. A Washington special to the Tribune says: The reported seizure by the British at Port Elizabeth of an Italian back laden with sulphur, in the openion of the state department authorities, is an other case which Salisbury will have to disavow as explicitly as he has done in the American flour seizure question. It is said to be beyond reason that Great Britain would consent to re gard sulphur as contraband any more than she would be willing to include food stuffs in that category, for, in a wao with a commercial power, the precedent rould be fatal to her manufacturers. Cheered for Britain. CHICAGO, Jan. 13. Three thousand peo ple filled Central Music hall this evening, cheered for Great Britain and Queen Vic toria until their voices were hoarse, and denounced the Boers and all their work. The meeting was held under the auspices of the Sons and Daughters of Great Britain, and was enthusiastic in the ex treme. Resolutions were adopted approv- W HAT IS THE REASON?

Secretary of State Hay said tonight -that the British government had released the American goods on the Dutch vessel Maria, and that they were now in Delagoa bay. The goods consist of flour and other provisions which the English authorities seized as con traband of war, intended for the use of the Transvaal troops. Kitchener Really Chief. NEW YORK, Jan. 13. A dispatch to the Herald from London says: It now leaks out that Lord Kitchener is really chief In South Africa at the head of the British troops, and Lord Roberts Is a figurehead. CHOYNSKI-M'COY FIGHT. Timekeeper Dunn Is Blamed on All Sides. NEW YORK, Jan. 13. The decision of Johnny White, in awarding the bout at the Broadway Athletic Club last night to Mc Coy, is quite generally upheld by the morning papers here, although two of them claim that Choynskl was treated un fairly. All the papers argue that the mis take of the timekeeper was deplorable, and that in that respect the Californian did not receive his just dues. Timekeeper Dunn refused to discuss the fight. Ho closed his watch and left the buildUg. But he was seen to protest to the referee at the end of the second round that he was right. Choy-Lskl, in an interview with a World representative, said: "I was robbed of the fight. I knocked McCoy out in the second round with a right swing on the law, and he was down 12 or 15 seconds. Both timekeepers, tho club's and my own, agreed on that, and Dunn rang the bell to indlcato that the fight was over. It was called a round, but McCoy had one minute and 40 seconds to recover. "In the third round McCoy knocked me down after the bell rang. I am a little deaf, but I heard the bell. McCoy did not. It knocked mo out and I was unable to come up for the next round. I was robbed." McCoy said: "I am sorry there was a misunderstanding about the time. I was not out, although I was pretty weak. I was careless and got a punch on the jaw in the second round that dazed me. The fourth time Choynskl knocked me down, I took my time and listened to the ref eree's count. I got up just as he counted 10, and then the bell rang. I showed that I had considerable strength left by land ing on Choynskl's jaw and stopping him. "The punch I knocked him out with was started before the bell rang in the third round. I fought fairly, and If a mistake was made, it was not mine. I thought I could whip Choynskl. I did and I think I can again." Referee White said: "McCoy was not knocked out. I counted nine and McCoy got up just as I counted ten. Then the bell rang and I and the fighters thought the round was over. It seems there was a misunderstanding. The timekeeper had taken It upon himself to count McCoy and rang the bell. Ho had no business to do It. It was my place, and I say McCoy was not out. He was up before I finished counting ten. "The punch McCoy struck Choynskl as the bell rang was unpremeditated, and while It knocked Choynskl down, did not affect the result. Choynskl was very sick from a punch in tho stomach when the bell rang for the fourth. He refused to come from his corner, and I was com pelled to give the fight to McCoy." Many of the spectators, when seen around the up-town hotels late last night, declared that Choynskl should have been given more consideration, and there were not a few who hinted at "jobbery." On the other hand, the managers of the club and McCoy's followers aver that every thing was fair, and that Referee White could, under the circumstances, have ren dered no other decision.

There ar,e nearly GO drug stores in the city, and over 200 pharmacists are anx iously awaiting enllghtment. Question 1. Is the level-license measure, now in the hands of the license commit tee, Intended to compel all drug stores to take out a saloon license or discontinue the sale of spirituous liquors? 2. If a pharmacy takes out a- license will it be entitled to all the benefits and privileges enjoyed by the saloon brawls, police espionage, patrol wagon, etc.? 3. How will it be with the druggist who is a church member or a deacon in the church? Can he run his pharmacy in the manner desired by the Retail Liquor Dealers' Association and still retain his membership and his office? 4. Will the druggist, if he complies with the law, be compelled to sell liquor by the. drink to any sober thirsty person who demands it and tenders him the current saloon price for the same? 5. Is there not a state law which pro hibits the Issue of a saloon license within a certain distance from a school building? If the city cannot Issue a saloon license to 10 or 12 drug stores who are already es tablished in business within the restricted limits, will It not be liable for damages for such action? G. If such an ordinance Is passed, will It provent physicians from prescribing whisky or brandy? Will it prevent phar macists who are M. Ds. from giving it to customers who profess to have the stomach ache? Will If keep the phar macist from standing in with a doctor and getting him so to prescribe? Perhaps a doctor could be found who would take the job of obliging a half dozen phar macists for a less sum than the cost of a single quarter's license. 7. The state law restricts the practice of pharmacy, so as to exclude the ignor ant from our ranks, and compels the pharmacist to stand somewhat above the average of the bartender. Is it fair to bring the pharmacist to the same level? It is a fact that there is scarcely a sa loon in the city that does not violate the pharmacy law every' day by selling drugs and dispensing medicines.

COPELAND'S BOOK DEKUM, THIRD AND WASHINGTON STREETS OFFICE HOURS From 9 A. M. to 12 EVENINGS Tuesdays and Fridays. that the R. L. D. A. wishes to improve Its respectability and personality by an nexing the pharmacists. S. Does the Retail Liquor Dealers' As sociation wish the competition cf CO or so saloons of established respectability? If the druggist pays so h:gh a license will he not endeavor to divert a great deal of trade from the saloon? Will not the R. L. D. A. probably have cause to regret the passage of. such an ordinance? D. Would It not be better to add some thing like the following to the ordinance now in force? "Any person, firm or cor poration advertising liquors or spirituous articles at cut rates, or making conspic uous window or store displays of the same, or selling or disposing of such goods to be drunk on the premises, shall be considered to be a saloon-keeper within the meaning of this ordinance and subject to a license ot $100 per quarter." 10. If there are drug stores In the clty that are little better than saloons; if there are those that sell liquor by the glass or dispense It through their soda fountains, is It not better for the Retail Liquor Dealers' Association to frame an ordinance which will reach them and see that It is enforced, rather than cope down on the whole body of pharmacists, the majority of whom, I sincerely believe, are trying to do a clean and legitimate drug business?

REMARKABLE SUCCESS. Of a New Pile Cnrc. People who have suffered for months or years, from the pain and Inconvenience of f that common disorder, piles, will look with, skepticism upon the claims of the makers I of the new discovery for the cure of all I forms of plies, known under the name of ' Pyramid Pile Cure; nevertheless the ex traordinary cures performed by this rem edy are such as to warrant the investi gation of any sufferer. As a ease in point the following letter speaks for It self. Mr. Henry Thomas, of sub-station No. 3. Hosack avenue, Columbus, O., writes as follows: Pyramid Drug Co.: Gentlemen I want you to use my name If It will be of any use to you. I wa so bad with the piles that I tost work or that J account. Nothing did me any good. I read in Cincinnati of the many cures of j plies by the Pyramid Pile Cure. aak I I went to a drug store and asked for it. . The drug clerk told me that he had some thing else that he thought wa better, but I told him that I wanted to try tho Pyramid first. The first box helped me so much, thait I tried another, and then- to complete, the cure used two more boxes, making four In all. I am now completely cured. Eavo not a trace of piles, and I bad suffered for four years with the worst form of protruding piles. I suffered death from piles, but I havo found the Pyramid Pile Cure to be Just as represented. I have recommended It to several of my friends, and I am. thankful to be able to write you what good tho remedy has done for me. Physicians recommend the Pyramid Pile Cure because it contains no opium, eo caine. or mineral poison of any kind, awl because it Is so safe and pleasant to s, beinff painless and applied at night.
