Flourishing a pnper in his hand, he demanded to be heard on tho resolution, which ho sent to the clerk's desk and had read as follows: "I do impeach Grovcr Cleveland, President of tho United States, of high crimes and misdemeanors on tho fol low lng grounds: "First That ho has sold, or directed the sale of bonds, without uuthority of law. "Second Thnt ho sold or aided in the sale of bonds at less than their mn-kot value. "Third That ho directed tho mis appropriation of the proceeds of said bond sates. "Fourth That ho directed tho Sec retary of the Treasury to disregard the laws which make United States notes and certificates rcdeemablo in coin. "Fifth That he has ignored and refused to have enforced the 'anti-trust law.' "Sixth That ho has sent United States troops into the stato of Illinois without the authority of law In viola tion of the constitution.

When the clerk ceased reading, Mr. Howard, who still stood ready to ad dress the House, was suddenly taken off the floor by Mr. Dinglev, the lender of the majority, who raised the question of consideration against the resolution. The question wns promptly put by the speaker and by a practically unan imous vote the Houso declined to give Air. Howard a liearlng. The chief clnim heretofore of Mr. Howard was his notorious book, "If Christ Came to Congress," in which he pretended to show up tho horrors of Washington life; He first appeared in Washington us an oflico seeker.

The Phillips labor commission bill, which was to have come to a vote In the honso yes terday under tho special order was completely crowded out by tho con fercnac reports on tho river nnd hnr bor and sundry civil bills. Tho bill will now go over until next week. Tho conference report on the river and harbor bill, which reported an agreement on ull tho items Bave that relating to tho Santa Monica and San Pedro harbors, California, was made tho basis of a very bitter attack on the bill by Messrs. Hepburn, Repub licui, of Iowa, and Dockery, Demo crat, of Missouri. The latter said ho opposed this measure because It con tained extravagant appropriations not warranted by tho condition of the treasury. Ho said ho realized his re marks would not bo punctuated with applause. "Wo are all In on it," he added sarcastically, amid laughter. Mr. Dockerv's remarks about the "impoverished treasury" and his ap peals to tho people were received with derisive jeers by tho Republicans. At tho conclusion of his time Mr. Hooker offered to yield him fifteen minutes more if hu would point out n single item m tho bill that was not justified by the engineer reports. (Loud ap plause.) The challenge brought Mr. Hepburn, Republican, to his feet.with a scathing speech ngainst thu bill. This bill, said he, had been passed by a brutal majority without debate, and he mado the assertion that not a section of tho bill had ever been read In the Hoife. Not in the history of tho country hud been known such villainous legislation Seventy-live millions carried in a bill, not a para graph of which was ever read or con sidered. After such a procedure gen tlemen now had the assurance to ask its opponents to point out its multi plied iniquities. "Shame, shame," he cried. "Shame upon such falso pretense. Why did you foico the bill through in forty minutes if you were not too cowardly to face investigation?" Mr. Hepburn, continuing sharply, criticised the work of tho Mississippi river commis sion. Mr. Hooker's motion to adopt conference report was agreed to to GO. tho 183 BEFORE THE CZAR. American Minister Ilccclvcil In I'rlvnte Audience In Knee Ureechej. Moscow, May 2r.

Halle w, of Stuart, la., has been allowed a patent for a campaign badgo in the form of a bee ndaptcd to bo readily fastened to tho lapel of a coat. On the v ings arc fixed the portraits of candidates in such a manner that thoy are concealed when the wings aie fold ed, but by pressing a detent the wmga aro expanded and the portraits and sentiments of tho wearer flashed upon, observers. In view of the histories of nomc for mer presidents nnd numerous candi dates the following copied from tho Iowa patent office business circular seems to be apropos. HONOUA1II.K AND I.AS1IKO TAME. To reach and occupy the position of president of tho United States isgen erally regarded as the acme of Ameri can honor and fame. Hut tho position alone does not assure true honor of Insting fame. If a man who attains that position has a taint upon him tho office of president can not lemovc it. If he is corrupt, incompetent or un faithful his prominent position serves to make his disgrace. "Jimmy" Ru chnnan and "Andy" Johnson can bo named as examples of the truth of our words. The chances of becoming" president is as one to many millions, very small. Tho chances of getting" corrupt and disgraced in aspiring to. the presidency seems to bo in the re verse order, very large. Wo therefore w ish to direct American youths to a broader and safer road to true honor and lasting fame. The rapid incrcaso of our population demands thousands of new inventions for tho necessities of our multiplying millions. To be the author of a machino that will give aid, comfort and deliirht to tho present and coming generations may bo a nobler triumph than to win a presidental race. It is a hope, too that many may realize. The ambition of the hutnblc'mechanic that looks for honor and fame by seeking to give tho world a benefaction in the shape of an invention, is fnr nbovo tho "infatua tion" which ruins "presidential candi dates." The names of American in ventors and public benefactors will bo revered when the names of some of" our presidents and would-be presi dents will be forgotten, or only re membered with indifference, regret or contempt.
