The first reading of the evidence taken upon the hearing In this matter Inclines one to the opinion that there is lack of proof and that no sufficient grounds emt for challenging (he scat of the sitting member from Illinois. This Is due to the fact that the direct evi dence in some important particulars is lacking and to the further fact that much of the testimony is that of con fessed bribe takers. IBut the second reading and more careful study of the facts and circumstances leads to 'the conclusion that the seat ought to be : vacated. . . ' . ' : -- ' Korlmer tort Hsts Known. "IV must have been shown either, first that' the sitting member was personally Involved In the matter of bribing mem bers of the legislature or had knowledge that it was going on In his behalf; sec ondly, that such a number of votes were tainted through corruption that with out them the sitting member did not have the ireauired roajprity, , ; v--- j , "It must be conceded by all who nave read the hearings .or who read the news papers that the forty-sixth assembly of the state of Illinois was One of the most venal and disreputable legislative bodied that 'ever- brought .shime and humiliation to- a great commonwealth.

Washington, IX C, Jan. 1. Phos phate has. been discovered In Montana, it : is believed in valuable commercial Quantities. Vy If t, iummer, under j au thority from contress and specific in structions of the secretary of the interior, the genet al land office of the United States geological survey cooperated in the classification of certain lands with in . the original grant to the Northern Pacific Railroad company in the west ern part of Montana, to determine whether :. they . are ..of .mineral , or : non mineral character, Inasmuch ; as .. the grant Included only such lands as do not contain minerals other than iron and coal. One of the geological survey geologists engaged upon the work found deposits of rock phosphate, which min eral was not known to occur in Montana. The deposits found are not far. from Butte, and art they are situated on pub lic lands these have now been with drawn from 'entry by the president, placing them' in the same category as other known public ' phosphate lands which are awaiting legislation by con-' gresa to provide for Jhelr control and dispos'tion. - ! - ' . . Lands Quietly Withdrawn. As it was not desirable to call publlo attention to this find before the gov ernment had-a chance to withdraw the lands, no detailed prospecting was done, but it Is believed by the geological sur vey that the area underlain by the phosphate Is large and it la hoped that the bed may be five or six feet, thick, in which case it would be of great value. In fact, an advance chapter. from contributions to- economic geology, en titled "Phosphates in Montana,", by H. S. Gale, which has just been Issued b the geological survey, sttaes that ' the aeolofflo formations including this phos phate bed are almost If not quite iden tical with those occurring in the great phosphate fields a couple of hundred miles to the south, where the beds havo a workable thickness of 4 to C feet It is also the hope and the inference of the survey officials " that large area outside of . that actually examined by Mr. Gale may be underlain with phos phate. , The possible tonnage-may there fore be large; , for instance, a square mile underlain with a three foot bed of phosphate would contain about S.760,000 tons. The Montana lands now having been withdrawn, it will be possible to make a detailed ; geological investiga tion ot the deposits and a close estimate of the tonnage. v: t.-.g'v ."fl ' Zbu&csm Talus of Discorery. . - Phosphorus, of which phosphate roctt is the principal source, ia one; of the three necessary elements of plant food, and it is moreover by far the scarce al f the three, the others being nitrogen and potash.. The United States has how ever, the largest known deposits in the world and' the deposits found upon th public lands in the west contain a greater tonnage than all the other Amer ican deposits combined. Since most phosphate as used for fertiliser is chem ically treated with sulphuric acid, the commercial importance of the Montana phosphate deposits appears to He in the fact of their proximity to -the great Montana smelters, which are dally fall ing to utilise vast quantities of sulphur-, lo acid. . -, .' " . .Additional Interest centers in the dis covery and. Withdrawal since the presi dent in his message, to congress advo cates a jeasing law for phosphate lands which will enable the government to control or prevent the exportation of the phosphates or fertiliser made fr.om them, ' ,V'v . The discovery " of this phosphate em phaslxes the value of the sclentlflo land classification werk being done through out the. west by the United Statea feo logical survey. Had these lands been only perfunctorily classified, mineral de posits or great, potential , value 'to the United Statea would have passed into the hands of the Northern Pacific rail; road company, whereas they are now re tained In the public domain for the ben efit 'of the, peopled : v r?

"Illinois had In the, summer of )903 held -a primary that, the people of .the state, might express a preference for United States ' senator. There were a number of candidates upon the Repub lican aide, but Senator Hopkins received the preference vote at the hands of the Republican voters.. Lawrence B. String er received the preference vote at the handa of the' Democrats. The Repub licans had 127 members in the legisla ture, the Democrats 77. Had the peo nle'a reference -been considered there fore. Senator Hopkins would have been returned, yt cannot pass by the moral delinquency , of V any - man won nndeN takes to thwart the popular choice of the people. I always think a man who will deliberately set about to defeat the will of the people is so utterly wanting In moral conviction that, hav ing ones started in the work, if he can not accomplish that purpose by fair means' he will not hesitate, to do, so by foul means. . . "-"i ' r ."Furthermore, ..It was as clear as day to any, man, , knowing that legisla ture, knowing the people's wishes were to be put aside, that this would ; have to he acoompMahed braishonorable means. ? One ; would . know when he started in that that was the ' way in which : he would have" to achieve his wprk. Men who would utterly disre gard the wishes and desires of the peo ple, who would have their representa tive Ignore Instructions from the- peo ple would inevitably stoop to use meth ods hot in harmony with decent politics and the men who1 would accede to such propositions would expect, when - they, changed, to be bought. And in this In-, stance when they did change the evi dence shows wnclustve1yrry-werr bought' JrVho bought thentt tSomeone who had no Interest in' the matter, or someone who had a direct and positive Interest in the matter? V ; "The sitting member was at that time a member of congress from Illinois. He left his duties here and went to Spring field to conduct the. fight whether for himself or not, he went and took charge of the fight to defeat the preference of tha people expressed, at the primaries. "In order to do this what had to be donef First,' it was necessary to get men to Ignore their instructions; sec ondly, it was necessary to get them to violate party pledges on both sides, and thirdly, It was necessary to get them to wipe out party lines. Men of both parties had to be brought to the sup, port of a Republican. In other words, they had to be led up to that point where they would brasenly defy the criticism of friends and neighbors and of the whole state, throw aside party loyalty and personal obligations. Their convictions and their promises had to be eliminated. "It Is beyond question that the ait ting member from Illinois .looked over the Job and commenced work upon it No one did know, no one could know no thoroughly -what it did Involve, to wlt, the prostitution and corruption of the legislature. "Now, let me call your attention to I hie factan indisputable fact that Horn the time the sitting member from Illinois announced he was a candidate, U;at very night a stream of bribery and corruption began to flow, which has not erased to flow to this, very hour. It K-gan in the legislature, It has extended nio Ihe courts, affected the Juries, in volved members of the bar and tainted nlong its whole course,- It has left on every side disgraced and humiliated families, broken : reputations and a Btunch in the nostrils of the nation and Uun.iliatlon and shame to a great state. If this body docs not act with courage and with drastio .effect, We, too, must expect to suffer much in the estimation of the good people of this country."
