Bickford was practically the only witness before the Senate Cominittee on Elections in the Clark investigation to-day. ,He was one of Senator Clark's especlal friends in the last Montana Senatorial campaign. Bickford contradicted much of the testi- mony of Speaker Stiff, Senator Myers, Yhter b e 444444444 Representative Sullivan, Dr. Ector, Mr. Cowen and others. He, however, admit- ted h: n% tendered to Dr. Ector $§7000 with which to lift the indebtedness of Representative Woods of Revelll County, saying that he had not intended that Woods should know of his doing this and | that his only purpose was to control the | debt o that the Daly people could not get hold of it and thus force Woods into vot- ing contrary to his inclination. He re- cefved the money from Senator Clark’s son, and when it was not accepted for Ir. Woods by Hetor he returned it to, Clar] Bickford explained the purchase of timber land owned by Representative Mo- | Laughlin prior to the meeting of the Leg- islature. He contended that the property | was worth more than had been paid for it | and that the timber was necessary in ‘lark’s business. In his deal with Me- ughlin the witness had never talked concerning the Senatorial situa- tried to influence him in that ion to vote for Clark. s cross-examination Bickford sald counsel for Clark, but after t he would not tell what his fees | , he said that all told Clark had him $2500 as counsel.

Governor Tay- lor has not yet affixed his signature to the Louisville agreement, and, although the general opinion is that he will ulti- mately do so, the probabilities are that he will not sign it until some time to- morrow, if then. Governor Taylor refused- absolutely to- day to make any statement in regard to his probable action in the matter, and during most of the day declined to re- ceive any callers except his legal advis- ers. It was announced early in the day that some action might be expected after a conference between Governor Taylor | and Judge Yost, Attorney Falrleigh, Gov- ernor Bradley and W. C. P. Breckinridge. | The last named three, however, did not arrive in Frankfort during the day, and this afternoon Governor Taylor sent tele- grams to Governor Bradley, Augustus E. Willson, Judge Barr and Attorney Fair- leigh, asking them to come to Frankfort for a conference to-night. Mr. Willson was the only one to arrive. Shortly after 8 o'clock to-night he, in company with Judge Yost and General Dan Lindsay, called on the Governor and immediately went into & conference with him. Before qumg into the conference Judge Yost said it probably would be a lengthy one, and that he did not expect any action to be taken to-night. L'g to a late hour no announcement had been made as to the result of the conference. Every section of the Loulsville agreement was gone over carefully, but it is unde stood that the principal thing under dis- cussion was the section bearing upon the passage of & new election law. The repeal of the Goebel law 1s the one thing most strongly desired by Governor Taylor, and as the language of the Louis- ville agreement is considered by him alto- gether too vague as regards this matter, it is considered possible that changes may | be made in the way of making the clause more specific before Governor Taylor af- fixes his signature to the agreement. This, of course, would involve further delay, as it would necessitate a further confer- ence between the Republican and Demo- cratic leaders who were instrumental in drawing up the agreement at Loulsville. Action of this kind, indeed, was intimated by a prominent Republican to-day, al- though nothing either in conflrmation or denial could be procured at the executive offices. Another cause for Governor Taylor's delay in regard to the agreement is sald | to be the cry of “victory” and “surren-| der” sent up by the Democrats. | The agreement as presented to Governor Taylor {s understood to be somewhat dif- ferent from the published abstracts, in that the clause regarding the election law nd one or two other matters is much | more specific than it is generally under- stood to be, though not strong enough to | guit him. For this reason the rank and file of the Republican party In the State apparently belleve there is some founda- tion for the claims set up by the Demo- crats, and scores of telegrams have poured in_upon Governor Taylor in the | past two days, urging him not to sign the agreement, but to maintain his Position and await further developments. el TAYLOR ASKED NOT TO SIGN AGREEMENT!

SAN JOSE, Feb. T.—At a meeting of a number of depositors of the insolvent nion Savings Bank to-day it was agreed to accept &5 cents on the dollar from the stockholders. The 6 per cent dividend al- ready paid is not included in this. The depositors had not yet sued on their accounts. A number of stockholders, headed by J. Leiter, made a proposition that the stockholders pay an assessment of $30 per share and then turn over the assets of the bank to the depositors, and the stockholders to be released of all further liability, the $30 to be pald fn three installments of $10.each, in thirty, | sixty and ninety days. The depositors agreed to accept the offer provided the ts and assessment would give them 85 cents on the dollar. This meeting of depositors consists of but a small number of the 1700 who had accounts in the bank, and the matter of a compromise may not be effected. The ma- jority of the depositors are represented by Attorney J. R. Welch, and they have as vet taken no action in the matter of com- promise. The property of all the stock- | holders has been attached, and it is ex- pected the stockholders will try to com- promise the matter. Over 4 year has now elapsed since the fallure and the depositors so far have only received a 5 per cent dividend. b COLLISION IN A FOG. Two Railway Employes Killed and Two Injured.

C., Feb. 7—One dead man and another who was picked up just before he had expired were brought to the city to-night by the steamer Comox. The two men, George Clarke, nearly 60 years old, and Charles Johnston, had a | terrible experience in the storm tha: swept up the coast on Monday night They were in a fishing sloop and were overturned at 8 o'clock on Monday night. They succeeded in getting om top of the boat and remained there all through the night, being nearly swept off by the waves several times. They were carried by the wind into Desolation Bay, King orn Sound, and were not picked up by the Comox uatil this morning, after they been on the boat for fifty-six hours with- out food or drink. The old man's suffer- ings were terrible. He went practically Insane early on Tuesday and gradually succumbed. On Tuesday evening the steamer passed near them on her way north. They halled the boat in the darkness, but did not make themselves heard and they stayed | there the whole of another night. Clarke wept like a child when the steamer passed without taking them on board. On Tues- day afternoon Johnston tried to swim ashore, but the surf was too rough and the poor fellow had to swim back to the boat and just had strength to pull himself aboard again. An hour before the Comox found them this morning Clarke died. The other man pulled the body further up on the boat and held on to it until | the steamer showed up. He was too weak to move and had to be lifted on board. The dead man was an Eastern Canadian and a well-known logger. In the city of Vancouver much damage was done, but no lives were lost. The wind, which became almost a cyclone, at- talned a velocity of fifty-five miles an hour. Along the water front the waves broke over the wharves and bridges, sweeping away boathouses, wrecking boats and dashing two steam launches against the pier, batting the craft into total wrecks. Two stone-laden scows went adrift and were wrecked, and two steamers broke their moorings and were brought to thelr docks with great diffi- culty. Telephone wires in the suburbs are down and the long distance system is completely paralyzed. Trees were torn up by theroots, flagstaffs and chimneys fell and a cottage on the Westminster road was crushed like an egg shel. by a gigantic tree which was blown down and fell on the roof. Though there were three occupants in the house at the time, all escaped injury. The damage to residences, factories, wharves and shipping will aggregate many thousands of dollars.
