fry Very Soon.

WASnINGTON. March 23-The Navy

cal withdrawal of all its naval officers
at Havana and the abandonment Of the
wreck Of the Inflated battleship Maine.

Although il is not finally settled. n is
more than probable that the Fern also
will return 10 the United States as soon
as Il is determined that nothing more
is to be gained by her presence there.
In the event OF the abandonment OF the
wreck, It is more than likely that the
Navy Department will arrange for It's
complete destruction by the use OF dyna-
mite or torpedoes. In its present condi-
ton II is a dangerous obstruction to nav

secure his Impeachment for his remarks
when sentencing "A negro murderer. on
that occasion he advocated lynching, and
the negro ministers have determined to
try 10 secure his removal. This can only
be done by Impeachment proceedings. The
President cannot remove an appointee for
life. This developed to-day when a COM
mittee called on Attorney General Griggs
and said they desired 10 file charges
against Judge Bradley. The Attorney
General explained 10 the committee that
the Department Of Justice had no juris

ton 10 be introduced in Congress calling
