WILL THEY EXPEL HIM?
Congressman Considering the Expulsion
of breckenridge.

Congressman Considering the Expulsion
of breckenridge.
WASHINGTON, April 1S.-The feeling
among leading members of the house Of
representatives is that no action should
be taken concerning the Breckenridge
scandal. There is some difference of
opinion among the veterans of the house
as to the right 20 pass on questions of
morality affecting a member. One of
the best lawyers in the house said the
constitution gave ample authority.
He cited the case of Brooks, who
was expelled from congress for as
saulting Charles Sumner with a cane
According to another authority any
wrong doing was to be passed upon by
members constituents. So far as con-
gress was concerned, it was obliged to
accept certificate of a mem ber's election
without going back OF the returns inves-
tigating his private character.
But the burden of congressional opin-
ion is against this view. A case in the
fourth congress is cited in which Repre-
sentative Lyon was tried for splitting in
the face of Representative Grfswald. but
this, like other offenses quoted, was com
mitted on the floors of congress. There
appears to be a dearth of precedents on
otfenses committed wholly outside of

TO STOP LYNCHINGS.


COIOrod Repres tentative in Ohio Intro
duces Two Bills
COLUMBUS, O., April 18-Representa-
tive Clifford one of the coIored mani ers
from Cuyahogo county, today will intro
duce two bills which it is believed will
afford legal protection against lynching.
The first bill defines Iynching as the
killing or attempted killing by an assem-
blage of persons, of a person for crime
without judicial sentence, and makes
participation in such an affair a crime
punishable with imprisonment in the
penitentiary for from five to
twenty years. Being one of such
an assemblage of persons, whether TAX
ing part in the attempt or not, to be con-
sidered as participating in the crime.
The companion bill makes it the duty
of the governor when a lynching occurs
to direct the attorney general to GO to
the county where the crime was commit
ted and assist the prosecuting attorney
of the county in the collection
of evidence and the prosecution
of the case, thus taking the control of
the case out of the hands of an official
who might be governed by local preju-
dice.
II the attorney general believes that
an impartial trial cannot be had in the
county where the crime and lynching oc-
CURED. he need only make affidavit as to
his opinion and the courts must allow a
change of venue

Creating Great Surprise.

ASTORIA, Ore, April 18.-The greatest
surprise of the Democratic state conven-
ton was the defeat of Gen. Fl. b. Comp
son, for governor by William r. Galloway
of McMinnville. Up to the time of

only by a few. A still hunt had been
going on and when Calloway's name
was sprung it took the convention by
storm.
The state ticket was completed as fol-
lows: Secretary of state, Charles Nickel;
treasurer, Thomas L. Davidson; supreme
judge. A. s. Bennett; attorney general,
w. p. Holiness; superintendent of in
struction, D. V. s. Reid; state printer,

Four Columns in the "Record."
WASHINGTON, April 18.-Before the
journal was approved today Mr.. Bur
rows rep. Mich) called attention to the
fact that Mr.. Wheeler of Alabama, who
spoke for exactly one minute on the'new
quorum counting rule had printed in the
Record against the express provision of
the house, a speech which occupied four
columns.
81 knew Mr.. Wheeler was a rapid
talker," said Mr.. Burrows, dryly, shut l
doubt his ability to accomplish such a
feat as that"
As Mr. Wheeler was not present it was
decided to allow the matter to go over
until he conld speak for himself.
Mr.. Dunphy, Dem, N. W asked
unanimous consent for the consideration
of the New York and New Jersey bridge
bill.
Mr.. Kilgore (Dem-, Texas) stated rath
er sarcastically that as the house now
had rules by which it could transact
business. he could not agree to any re-
quests for unanimous consent. He de-
manded the regular order, which was
equivalent to an objection.
After the call of committees for re-
ports. the house went into committee of
the whole Mr.. Bailey, of Texas, in the
chair for the further consideration of
the consular and diplomatic appropria-
ton bill.
