Deb* Strike, Federal Polatlenl * Corruption, ftn p i*epii*^ <■ ft: Iff *’ Washisgtow, May 25-—As soon as the journal had been read in the House this morning Mr. Howard. Pop ulist, of Alabama, whose seat is in a remote corner of the hall, arose dra matically from a seat in the middle -aisle, the use of which he had bor rowed temporarily. Flourishing a paper in his hand, he demanded to be heard on the resolution, which he sent to the clerk’s desk and. had read as follows: “I do impeach Grover Cleveland, President of the United States, of high crimes and misdemeanors on the fol lowing grounds: “First—That .he lias sold, or directed the sale of bonds, without authority of law. ‘•Second—That he sold or aided in the sale of bonds at less ’than their market value. t., s r. . .. “Third—That he directed the mis appropriation of the proceeds of said bond sales.- ' • “Fourth—That he directed the Sec retary of the .Treasury to disregard the laws which muke United States notes and certificates redeemable in coin. /, .1 !■■■ • :-!■!!• ■ ... "Fifth-*-Tbat he has ignored and refused to have enforced the ‘anti-trust law.’ < “Sixth—Thatv he has sent United States troops into the state of Illinois without the authority of law in viola tion of the constitution. “Seventh—That he has corrupted politics through the interference of federal office holders. . "Eichth—That he has used the ap pointing power to influence legislation detrimental to the welfare of the peo ple, therefore, be it “Resolved, By the House of Repre sentatives, that the committee on Ju diciary be directed to. ascertain whether these charges are true, and if so W report to the House such action by impeachment or otherwise as shall be proper in the premises, and said committee shall have author ity to send for persons and papers.” . When the clerk ceased reading, Mr. Howard, who still stood ready to ad dress the House, was suddenly taken off 'the floor by Mr. Dingiey, the leader of the majority, who raised the question of consideration against the .resolution. , The question was promptly put by the speaker and by a practically unan imoua vote the House declined to give Mr. Howard a heariug. The chief claim heretofore of Mr. Howard was his notorious book, “If Christ Came to Congreas,’’ in which he pretended to show up.the horrors of Washington life. He first appeared in Washington as an office seeker. He was born in Georgia in 1862, and while - working on a farm studied law at night. He was admitted to the bar of Alabama at the age of 10, being the youngest man ever admitted' in the State.. .He was chosen city attorney ‘of Fort Payne and later was made prosecuting attorney of the county. He was chairman . of the Democratic County.committee for eight years and was a delegate to the last Democratic national convention. Because he. •could not get a public office be became a Populist and, as such, was electad to the Fifty-fourth Congress, receiving 6,858 votes against 3,452 votes for George W.

MILLIONS RASHLY VOTED. River and Harbor Bill Shot Through the none Without Reading. Wasui.votox, May 25.—The Phillips labor commission bill, which was to have come to a vote in the house yes terday under the special order was completely .crowded out by the con ference reports on the river and har bor and sundry civil bills. The bill will how go over until next week. The conference report on the river and harbor bill, which reported an agreement on all the items save that relating to the Santa Monica and San Pedro harbors, California, was made the basis of a very bitter attack on the bill by Messrs. Hepburn, Repub lican, of lo\Va, and Dockery, Demo crat, of Missouri. The latter said he opposed this measure because it con tained extravagant appropriations not warranted by the condition of the treasury. He said he realized his re marks would not be punctuated with applause. “We are all in on it,” he added sarcastically, amid laughter. Mr. Dockery’s remarks about the “impoverished treasury” and his ap peals to the people were received with derisive jeers by the Republicans. At the conclusion of his time Mr. Hooker offered to yield him fifteen minutes moro if he would point out a single • »u uuv. uni uuuu naa uun juanucu by the engineer reports. (Loud ap plause.) The challenge brought Air. Hepburn, Republican, to his feet, with a- scathing speech against the bill. 'this bill, said he, had been passed by a brutal majority without debate, and he made the assertion that not a section of the bill had ever been read in the House. JJot in the history of the country had 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 false pretense. Why did you force the bill through in forty minutes if you were not too covvardlv to face investigation?” Air. Hepburn, continuing sharply, criticised the work of the .Mississippi river commis sion. Air. Hooker's motion to adopt, the conference report was agreed to—189 to 5fl. BEFORE THE CZAR. America a Minister Received in Private Audience Id Knee Breeches.

They tied these together, two by two, among them being Ladislc Quiqtero, an American, 81 years old, of Key West, who was found sick in bed. They were taken to the street and commanded to kneel down. The soldiers fired at them, killing all except the American. This occurred on February 83, in the immediate presence of the wives and children ot the unfortunate men. Dr. Diaz’s statement gives accounts of cases where he alleged explosive bullets were used by .the Spaniards, and of the shooting of two clildren in the arms of their mothers by the Spanish.

Dr. Diaz mentioned several instances where the Spaniards bombarded insurgent hospitals, kill ing the inmates. TEST FOR IMMIGRANTS.

Washington, May 22.—The Senate defeated a proposition by Mr. Gorman for the issue of $l00,00u,000 of 3 per cent treasury certificates to meet prospective deficiencies. This waa fol lowed by the defeat of another propo sition by Mr. Peffer of Kansas, for the issue of greenbacks to meet the appropriations made by the fortifica tions bill.

Ballew, of Stuart, la., has heeiv allowed a patent for a campaign badge in the form of a bee adapted to be readily fastened to the lapel of a coat. On the wings are fixed the portraits of candidates in such a manner that they are concealed when the wings are fold ed, but by pressing a detent the wings. are expanded and the portraits and sentiments of the wearer flashed upon, observers. In view of the histories of some for mer presidents and numerous eandi dates the following copied from the Iowa patent office business circular seems to be apropos. HONORABLE AND LASTING FAME. ' To reach and occupy the position of" president of the United States is gen erally regarded as the acme of Ameri can honor and fame. But the position alone does not assure true honor of lasting fame. If a man who attains, that position has a taint upon him the office of president can not remove it.. If he is corrupt, incompetent or un faithful his prominent position serves to make his disgrace. “Jimmy” Bu chanan and “Andy” Johnson can be named as examples of the truth of our words The chances of becoming president is as one to many millions, very small. The chances of getting corrupt and disgraced in aspiring to the presidency seems to be in the re verse order, very large. We therefore wish to direct American youths to a broader and safer road to true honor and lasting fame. The rapid increase of our population demands thousands of new inventions for the necessities of our multiplying millions. To be the author of a machine that, will give aid, comfort and delight to the present and coming generations may be a nobler triumph than to win a presidental race. It is a hope, too that many may realize. The ambition of the humble mechanic that looks for honor and fame by seeking to give the world a benefaction in the shape of an invention, is far above the “infatna-J tion” which ruins “presidential candi^T dates.” The names of American in-^ ventors and public benefactors will be -revered when the names of some off our presidents and would-be presi dents will be forgotten, or only re membered with indifference, regret or contempt.
