IN FAVOR OF IMPEACHMENT.
Report of the Minnesota Legislative
Committee on the Ives Case.

ST. PAUL, Minn April 12-For twenty
six years there has been no impeachment
trial of any member of the judiciary of
Minnesota, and the presentation of a petit
ton asking for the impeachment of Judge
Frank Ives, of Crookston, which pre-
sented to the House of Representatives two
months ago, created a sensation throughout
not only this but adjoining States. Judge
Ives has for his official district the north
western portion of the State bordering on
North Dakota and the prohibition laws of
that State have driven a tough class of citi-
zens across the line. and much of the COM
plant in this case has come from East
Grand Forks, where Judge Ives adopted
somewhat stringent methods to suppress
lawlessness Although himself Populist,
Judge Frank Ives is a brother of ex-Lieu-
tenant Governor Gideon Ives, one of the
most popular Republicans in the State, but
the matter of politics has not been brought
into the case in any way, the petitioners for
impeachment belonging to all three parties.
In the charge there twenty-one speci-
fications, and in looking into these the
judiciary committee during the nearly two
months that 1t has had the charge under con-
sideration in executive session has examined
forty witnesses and has given the matter
the most thorough consideration. No argu-
ments were heard by the committee. the
members relying soley on the testimony
The specifications included the charges that.

nine members recommending impeachment
and eight favoring the dismissal of the case
holding that the testimony, while showing
that he had been guilty of somewhat un-
usual and improper conduct, not suffi-
cient to warrant impeachment. These two
reports were taken UP a special order to-
night by the House and an extended debate
begun on the case. Probably the best law
yers of the judiciary committee signed the
minority report, but able men were on both
sides, and the arguments were strong and
exhaustive. The fact of the of G,,ob
trail will have some weight in deciding
the matter, the question of the expediency
of such trial and its necessary EXPENSE

NEWS FROM SATURN
HIS RINGS COMPOSED OF INNUMER-
ABLE LITTLE SATELLITES.
Which. if Verified, Will Make
Another American Famous.

PITTSBURG, April 12.-Prof. James L.
Keller, of the Pittsburg Observatory, has
made the important astronomical dscov-
cry, which for the first time is positively
demonstrated, that the ring of Saturn is
made up of innumerable small bodies of
satellites, and that they do not revolve at
the same rate of speed about the planet.
Professor Keeler has obtained direct proof
of this by means of the spectroscope. BY a
well-known principle line in the spec
trum of a heavenly body is displaced
toward the violet, if the body is ap-
preaching the earth, and toward the red,
if the body is receding.
If the image of Saturn, formed by tele-
scope. is brought upon the slit of a spec
troscope, and kept accurately in position
for sufficient time about two hours) the
spssctra Of the planet and the two opposite
separately photographed the
same plate. The motions of the differ
ent parts of Saturn can then be determined
from the displacements of the lines From
such photographs taken by Professor Kee-
Ter i has been found that the inner edge

snail satellites. If the ring revoved as a
whole the outer edge would move faster
than the inner edge.
The motions of the different parts of the
given e after the photoeraphs have BEEN BEEN ace ee
curately measured under the microscope.
This will be done by Professor Keeler as
soon as possible.
The rings of Saturn have been long con-
sidered one of the most ''ungetatable" won
ders of the solar system. 1t was their gem
orally accepted nebulous quality that gave
credence to the popular nebulous hypothe-
sis put forth by Sir William Herschel in
1911, which supposes that the universe was
formed out of shapeless masses of nebulae,
clusters of small stars. The theory is not
Internationally accepted. The difficulty
which Professor Keeler has to obtain ac-
curate photographs of the rings of Saturn
may be imagined when it is known that the
great planet is 900.00O.000 miles distant from
the sum- It's diameter is 1920 miles, three
times that of the earth. 1t has eight known
satellites, the first having been discovered
as early as 1866 Sir William Herschell dis
covered the sixth and seventh in 17S9 while
Bond and Lassells found the eighth in 1S4S.
The ring was observed by Calico about 1910
and it's snnular form determined by Huy-
ghens about 1865 (when he discovered the
second, third, fourth and fifth moons of
Saturn) The two-fold nature of the ring
was announced by Ball, in 1865. An inner
ring was detected by Dawes in England,
Nov 20, 1885, and by Bond. in America.
They have until now been supposed true
nebulae perhaps gaseous.

MORMON REVELATION
GOD ALLEGED TO HAVE SPOKEN TO
JOSEPH SMITH A YEAR AGO.
The Message Not Approved by the
Doubted by Many of the Saints.

KANSAS CITY, Mo-, April 12-The
Saints in session at Independence are just
now in peck of trouble. 1t appears that
a lengthy revelation purporting to be from
God was received by Joseph Smith a year
ago which made some important discos-
ures, and that the twelve in body
have not yet indorsed the revelation. The
revelation in dispute says that the sup
posed vacancy in lne presidency was not

Smith is brother of the present pres
ident and was expected to be successor of
Joseph Smith head of the church, and
a large number of the church members
regard the revelation of last year as an
indication on the part of Jospeh Smith
that he did not intend to receive any
revelations filling the vacancy until his
brother died. One popularity of the reve-
lation is its reference to the patriarch apos-
tie Thomas w. Smith, who was at that
time very ill. The revelation reads:
MY servant is in my hand, and his
bishopric shall be continued for a season.
