Senator Clark submitted a statement
showing the expenditures on the poli
tical account maffe by him from Aujrust
I,, 1898, to September "r,l 1899. ; Tlie
total amount, as shown by the memor
andum, was $166.68.2. The senator said
he had made Messrs. Wellcome. Mc
Dermott and E. C. Day, each a present
of$8.ooo. Clark said all the large fums
paid to C. W. Qark. Wellcome and
Davidson had been paid to carry out
the agreement. Which he had entered
into, to pay the . expenses of the pro
posed campaign to tcscuc the state
from Daly. -
"It was estimated", he said, "that it
would take $.?5.ooo to control the com
mittee, and that $75,000 would be nec
essary .to control the legislature. There
was no limit, and I agreed to pay what
ever might be necessary.5 I knew it
would take a great deal of money to
carry the state where so much money
had been spent in previous elections."
Clark said, in response to Senator
Turley, that it was true 4hat in the
first state election, be. Governor Broad
water. Governor Hauser and Marcus
Daly each had contribufctd $40,000 to
the democratic campaign .fund. Asked
abont the cost forf the contest over the
location of the capital Clark .said be
had contributed $100,000. and- he
thought the people of Helena had rais
ed over $100,000 to hold the capital.
It was a common report that the op
position, the 'Anaconda Company, .had
spent a $t.oo0;00O. to locate the capital
at Anaconda. F.very thing was con
ducted in such a 'high handed manner
that nolvody could expect to receive
recognition until he bent a knee or
crawled in the J dust to these people.
He had, he said, personally seen men
paid money for, their votes in 1898.
"Did you prosecute them?" asked
Senator Chandler.
"1 did nt." was the reply. "It was?
useless to do so. as the Anaconda Com
pany owned the political .millinery.
To ask to have a man arrested would
have been as useless as to try to buck
up against a cyclone."

During tlie Spanish War;
. ' t
, WASHINGTON:, Feb. 10. The
secretary off- war has sent to the chair
man of (hcj servile; and house military
committtcsa draft of a bill which, the
dei)artmenjF claims.i'Vreatly strengthens
the military system land remedies the
defects developed during tie Spanish
American war. Tne Mil was introduc
ed in the house -oday, by Chairman
Hull. The chief feature of the legisla
tion asked tfor provides lor one-third
of the promotions to be made by selec
tion. This i's to' enable the president to
to reward 'specially "gallant and meri
toriousservices. It recognizes both
length ; nd special fitness of service,
and the authorities claim, that the pro
visions' are so guarded that only the
most deserving shall I receive special
recognition, and in no case the crea
tures of; personal or political interven
tion. ; ; - !",!; '
Thi bill jives the president control
of the tenure of offices of the heads of
the staff department, l and he can by,
and with the advice and consent of the
senate, tnake a new head erf a depart
ment at any time,' 'when in bis judg
ment the efficiency of the service would
be increased thereby, the officers reliev
ed beipg transferred to the retired list.
This places the army staff on about
the? same footing is the beads o the
navy staff departments. 'The only im
mediate i result undet this provision
would be the probblc retirement of
General; Egan a commissary pcneral,
now urtder-going jsuspension. In the
adjutant general's , and inspector gen
eral's departments there will be no
further; appointments, but by detail
from the next lower grade of the line,
for a term of four years.
