The Senate has decided that Belknap
has not escaped trial for his offences by
resigning the position which he had dis
graced. This decision was reached by a
vote of 80 to ga full vote for the
Senate. The affirmative vote was cast
by "a Democrats and IL Republicans /;
the negative vote by 26 Republicans, 2
Democrats, and Independent-Mr.
Booth, of California. The division is,
practically, without political significance,
and there is no reason to suppose that
partisan feeling had any material weight
in the matter one way or the other. The
decision of the Senate is of the highest
Importance, not only on account of the
dignity of the office held by the accused,
but because 1t is the first case in which
the question of avoiding impeachment
by resignation has come before the Sen
ate. and because the Senate will be
greatly influenced, if not entirely con-
trolled in the future by the precedent
now set The vote was entirely con-
elusive. 1t was not complicated by any
side issues, and went directly to the
point of the effect of resignation. The
arguments against jurisdiction were made
and the votes cast in some instances by
several of the ablest constitutional law
yers in the Senate-notably by Judge:
Christiancy and Cameron and Messrs
Frelinghuysen and Eaton. But with al
respect to these gentlemen, the most tina
can probably be said of their argument
unless they covered ground not covered
at all by Belknaps counsel-is tina
they left the question, so far as prece
dent and Interpretation go, an open one
Being an open one, the Senate serves
the country we'll in deciding it in tn
wav it has done.-TimeS.

The State buildings and other minor
edi6ces about the grounds are progress
ing rapidly to completion. The Cali
fornia building will be open about the
middle of June, when all the State ex-
hibits neglected in the Main Building
will be displayed there. The opening
day is to be commemorated by banquet
to the Press, at which Mark Twain, as
representative of Pacific coast journ-
alism, will officiate as master of GER
emonies.
One of the most distinguished per-
sonages within the whole enclosure is
"Old Abe" the war eagle, whose sud-
den fame of twelve years ago has proved
more enduring than that of most of his
human comrades in arms. He sits upon
his perch all day long with the digni-
fed mien of the renowned veteran that
he is. Although but fifteen years old
he has seen three years actual service
and been through fifteen battles. 1t is
a good record, and he is justly proud
of 1T.
The week just upon us will be quite
a notably one. Besides the occuranee
of Decoration Day. which will be duly
observed, several excursions are to occur.
Tuesday just mentioned is the day fixed
for the opening of the Bankers Build
ing and Department. To this occasion
at least a thousand bank officials and
and employees expected from New York
alone and it is probable that at least as
many more will come from other points.
On the same day large number Of
Knights Templar, including nearly all
the Communicates of New York and

parade of the Order, which is to take
place during the week. Other bodies
are expected.

A MISERABLE SwINDLE.-It was a
sad sight to see at the Providence rail-
road depot at Boston, Saturday, little
band of emigrants composed of II men,
l / women and Is children, none of whom
could speak word of English, their
faces from the oldest to the youngest
wearing look of utter hopelessness. 1t
was many hours before any one could
converse with them, and when man
was finally found they told the same old
story. They had all owned small places
in Poland two or three years ago, but
we're induced to emigrate to Brazil by a
land owner, where they were swindled
out of the proceeds of their farms. They
then managed to get to Hamburg, then
to New York, and found themselves al
Boston without a cent, nearly naked
aud starved and no idea of where they
should 60 or what they should do next
They were temporarily cared for by tn,

THE SULTAN DETHRoNED.

COnstantinople dispatches of yester-
day announce that. in obedience to the
will of the people, Abdul Aziz, Sultan
of Turkey, has been dethroned, and the
heir presumptive, Murad Effendi, nephew
of the depOsed ruler, proclaimed Sultan.
The revolution was effected without any
disturbance of the public tranquility.
The popular will is new factor in
the politics of the Ottoman Empire.
Sultan Abdul Aziz incurred the dislike
of the people by his expressed intention
to disregard the law of the Koran, and
install his own son, Youssof, mere lad
of sixteen, as his successor. The Koran
orders that the power shall be transmit
ted to the strongest and ablest. In the
present case the legal heir presumptive
by this criterion was Murad Efendi, and
the people have forced Abdul Aziz t
yield to the Koran and their will. l
is not easy to believe that the new Sui
tan will be any more favorably disposed
than his predecessor toward the solution
of the pending revolutionary dificultie
in his realm proposed by the Berlil
Conference. Should he decline the peace
full overtures of the powers, and attemp
to prosecute more vigorously the wa
against the revOlted HerzegOvinese, it
reasonable to expect that that cOurs
would precipitate the lOng-expected soll
ton of the Eastern question" and po
sibly involve Russia, Germany, and En-
land in war for the possession of Il
Y shattered Ottoman Empire.
