IMPURTANT 20 RICE MEN.

Rice planters, factors, and others
interested, may not be generally aware
that an application is now before Con-
gress to admit rice, imported from the
Sandwich Islands, free of duty. The
measure is urged by the San Francisco
Chamber of Commerce, and has, it is
said, a good prospect to become a law.
It's passage by Congress would be
likely to have most important infn-
ence on the rice market. It would,
perhaps, be we'll for those Immediately
concerned to look into and act upoa
the matter at once.

IMPEACHMENT.
SEVERAL DAYS OF DEBATE YET-THE TRIAL OF THE
EX-sECRETARY PROBABLE.


EX-SECRETARY PROBABLE.
TBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.
WASHINGTON. May 26.-The Senate sitting for the
trial of the impeachment of ex-Secreary Beknap
met at IL o'clock to-day. An impression prevailed
at the Capitol during the afternoon that a vote on
the question of jurisdiction would be reached before
adjournment. This expectation proved to be without
sufficient ground at the hour of adjournment this
afternoon the court apparently very little nearer
the close of its discussion than several days ago. and
no understanding was arrived at that vote should
be taken tomorrow even. Several Senators ex-
press the belief tonight that the discussion may he
continued several days next week. Nothing has oc-
CURED to cause any change of opinion in regard to
the decision which the Senate viii reach. The al
most universal belief is that the resolution sub
mtted by Mr.. Sherman yesterday viii be adopted by
a small majority That resolution was follows:
Resolred That Notwithstanding the resignation Of WIN.
W. Beknap prior to his impeachment by the House OF
Representatives he Is still liable 10 such Impeachment
the misdemeanOrs char ged in the articles presented
by the House of Representatives and his plea OF such
resignation is not sufficient in law to bar the trial upon
such articles.
suggestion has been made to-day that should the
Senate decide TO jurisdiction of the unpeach
ment case, the trial proper may ,be postponed
until after Congress has completed its legislative
business. This idea seems to have been favorably
received by prominent Democrats of tbs House who
are anxious to complete their work and reach home
before the Fall campaign begins. Several of them
expressed the opinion to-day that the presence Of
the House Of Representatives during the mpeacs-
ment trial is entirely unnecessary. No provision
is found in the Constitution requiring an mpcach-
ment trial to he held during the of Congress-
and several State precedents referred to where
such trials have been held during q recess of the
Legislature, and at other places than the capital.
Some Republican Senators whose opinion was asked
on this point expressed the belief that the Senate
would not agree to Adjournment of Congress until
after the close of the Impeachment trial. They say
that no provision is made in the Constitution for
calling the Senate together in extra session for such
purpose except in the third section Of the second
article There it is indeed pro'i led that The Pr,s-
dent may, extraordinary occasions, convene both
houses or either of them, but if Congress should adj
iourn before this trial is completed the President
would be master of the situation. and could call the
senate together or not, he might see it. Taking
all Things into consideration. IL rs doubtful II any
postpOnement of the trial occurs.

WASHINGTON, May 26.-There seems TO be doubt
now of the acceptance by Mr.. Donald Cameron of
his late appointment as Secretary of War; at least
the close friends of his father say They say that
the young man never wanted the office; that he dis
likes details that he wants power without Office
and Prominence without responsibility. They say
finally that he dishkes Washington as place Of
residence 1t cannot now be known whether such
stories are to be credited In the absence of facts it
is safe 10 conclude that they fabricated for a
purpose.
The desire Of the President to turn over to Mr.
Cameron whatever the old Winnebago Chief wanted
III exchange for the vote of Pennsylvania for Mr.
COhkhng has been exposed by nearly every nSwspa-
per IN the country, and thus the appointment of
Donald Cameron and its significance has been
robbed OF more than half of its expected force. The
Republicans Of Pennsylvania decline to be turned
over like sheep to the butcher. They say that they
might continue docile in the hands Of the father,
Dnt they object to being passed from generation to
generation. Now that they are aware Of the de-
signs Of Gen. Grant and Mr.. Cameron, they refuse
10 Their part and give notice that they will in the
centennial year make a declaration of independence
Oh their own. The story that Donald Cameron
meditates declination would seem to have been
started to break the whirlwind Of opposition that is
sweeping down Oh Mr.. Conkling and his senatorial
aoettor but the storm cannot be turned by such
expedients, and even should the threat be carried

be found to be the case with Messrs. Brstow and
