RED CROSS BILL PASSED.
CONSIDERATION OF THE ALAS
KAN CODE BILL TAKEN UP
YESTERDAY

Washington, May 16.-The House ac-
complished little today besides passing
the Senate bill to incorporate the
American National Red Cross. No
progress was made with the Alaskan
code bill, owing to the inability OF the
two sides to agree as to the time to be
allowed for general debate. The con-
ference report on the District of CO.
lumba appropriation bill was rejected
after extended debate, mainly over APP
preparations for scctarian institutions
Ii was agreed that the minority of the
Judiciary Committee should have until
Monday to file their views upon the
antitrust bill and resolutions reported
yesterday. The agreement was not
reached without difficulty; Mr.. Ray IN.
W, chairman. said the privilege OF
filing n minority report should be con-
fined to those opposed to the bill and
resolution.
Mr.. Terry (Ark). Mr. Lanham CTex).
and Mr.. Fleeing (Ga.), protested that
they should not be placed in the posi-
ton of opposing the measures outright
They might vote for them as last re-
sort, they said, and they desired to file
their views. including recommendations
for amendment and Il substitute If the
latter We're deemed advisable.
The House then went into Committee
the Alaskan code bill. The Democrats
desired three hours debate. with gem
eral leave to print, and declined to al
low the first reading of tile bill to be
dispensed with IN order to have Il lever
to force acquiescence in their request
The bin contains GOO pages, and its
reading would require several days.
The clerk entered upon the reading
while the leaders tried to adjust their
differences. All negotiations. however,
failed, ana on demand for the regular
ORDER, the call cf committees, the House
resumed consideration of the Red Cross
bill. and, after motion of Mr.. IIle-
berg (TeX.) to recommit had been lost,
the bill was passed. The naval appro-
priation bill was sent to conference
Messrs. Foss Qll), Dayton CIV Va.).
and Cummings On. W were appoint
ed conferees. and the House then at
4;25 adjourned.

SerNlcnt to trusts and national banks.

hypocritical attitude of the Republican
party. using money stolen from the
people to debauch the ignorant voters"
1t denounces the fogeign policy of Pres
ident Mckinley, saying: The benevo-
lent assimilation" OF the Philippines has
proven TO be the benevolence of murder
and the assimilation of robbery. We
denounce it as an outrage to the con-
sciences of liberty-loving Americans.
Our free institutions cannot long sur
vive the destruction OF those principles
upon which they rest. and the spectacle
of subject peoples held down by the
bayonet and robbed by carpetbaggers

JOHNSON IMPEACHMENT.

A subscriber, writing from Anaconda,
asking if President Andrew Johnson was
not impeached when the proceedings
We're commenced against him in congress,
and if all historians do not say that he
was ilnpeached. The word ''impeach"
means. in the sense here used, an ar
raignment of a a public officer for malad-
ministration, which may be compared to
an indictment against a private individ-
ual, charging crime. In that sense, John
son was impeached, but as previously
stated in the Inter Mountain, the i'm
parchment was not sustained.
John Fisk, in his excellent history of
the United States, has this account of the
impeachment: -
NEARLY all the measures of congress
were passed over the presidents veto
! and feelings grew SO bitter that a tenure
Of Office bill was passed, ~forbidding h
president to remove any civil Office hold
err without the consent of the senate. In
fraction of this law by the president was
held to be a high misdemeanor. In spite
Of this, the angry president undertook to
defy the senate by removing Edwin STAN
ton, secretary of war, whom he especially
| disliked. Then the house of representatives
tmpeached the president before the SEN
ate for high crimes and misdemeanOrs.
II found guilty, he would be incapable of
holding office and would therefore cease
to be president Chief Justice
Chase presided ove the trial and a two
thirds vote vas necessary for conviction.
When the vote was taken, May Is, 1868,
1t stood IS for conviction and 10 for ac-
quittal. The president was therefore
| saved by one vote"

IN POLICE COURT.
Greeks Who Battled SO Fiercely Fined
for Disturbance.

Christ Tolometi and Theodore Staikos,
the two Greeks who engaged in such a
desperate fight in The California saloon
yesterday afternoon, appeared in the po-
lice court this morning. Tolometi, who
bit Staikos' thumb off, was charged
with assault and battery, the courts
jurisdiction not extending beyond this.
He entered a plea of guilty and was
fined $50. re 9#.4a
Staikos, who was charged with disturb
ing the peace, also pleaded guilty and
was fined $40.
Kate Gray, a colored woman, charged
with being an inmate of a u of ILL
fame on Pleasant Alley, he'd bitter tears
when she confronted the court, and be-
tween sobs managed to gasp out the in
telligence that she was guilty. However,
there is something back of this charge.
Some days ago a man appeared at head
quarters and Charged this woman with
touching him for $45. The police have
been on the lookout for her ever since,
but she kept out of the way until last
night. The court, being advised of these
facts, took the matter advisement
until tomorrow morning.
James Murphy. an attache of the cir
Gus, was charged with throwing hand
| bills about the street. He pleaded guilty
and was assessed $40.

YOUTHFUL SNEAK THIEF.
fourteen ear-Old Boy Worked
Scheme for Robbing Rooms.

Gladstone Bray, a ~14-year-old boy, has
been working a quiet graft for some time,
but it Is all off now. Bray's plan was to
get a bundle Of papers and go through
rooming houses, ostensfbly to sell and de-
liver dailies. When he came to q room
that was unoccupied, as determined by
knocking at the door. he would enter,
any little articles Of value found lying
around loose would disappear with Bray.
This morning the boy started on a tour
through the Dorothy block. Many Of the
rooIners We're out, and their doors un-
locked so that the chambermaids might
| go through them and do their work. Bray
had just grabbed $500 from the pocket
Of Jess Smith, when officer Ferns
| grabbed him and carried him down to
Jail.
The police will turn the lad over to the
| county authorities.
Depredations of this sort have been go
ing On for some time. Boys have been
known to put on a messengers cap and
| go through rooms. making he pretense
that they are on q call. Others pretend
to be delivering packages, but Bray
seems to have worked the best system Of
any Of them.
