ARTICLES EIGHT AND NINE
Questions of Destroying the Forts and Occupa-
ton by Foreign Troops.
lBy the Associated Press

(By the Associated PrCsS.)
Washington March 26.-While attention
has been conferred upon the crisis con-
nected with the Manchurian agreement,
an entirely new and important phase Of
the Chinese question has been presented
by the action of the Ministers at Pekin
in agreeing yesterday to submit to their
various Governments whether articles 8
and of the Chinese protocol shall be
carried out by the military authorities
OF all the powers interested in China, or
only by those powers who are continuing
to take part in the application of these
articles. The action Of the Ministers has
been communicated to several of the for
eign embassies and legations here and
doubtless MIR Rockhill has made or will
make known the same facts The articles
in question are as follows
article S-The destruction of the forts
which might obstruct free communica-
ton between Pekin and the sea-"
article 9-The right to maintain oc-
cupation OF certain points, to be determ-
ined by an understanding among the pow
efs in order to obtain open communica-
tion between the capital and the sea. !"
As these two questions appear to in
volve territorial affairs it may become
of considerable moment whether the de-
termination Of such affairs is to be left
with the militar yauthorities of all the
powers, or only with such powers as
continue their military force in China.
In the latter case the United States
Government may be quietly but effect
ually deprived of az voice in the settle
ment of so much of the Chinese question
as relates to the determination of the
strength CT the military forces to be
continued there in the future by the pow
ers 1t also is possible that an affirma-
tive decision by the powers which would
exclude the United States from participa-
lion in the discussion on the important
point might be extended to put us out
of China altogether.

THE CLOSING SCENES OF
THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL
They Will Today be Enacted in the Senate
Chamber and an Historic Trial viii
be Concluded,
AND THE VOTE MAY Be TAKEN TONIGHT

posted in the office of the Secretary of
State.
As the Senate consists of fifty members,
it will require "a voting guilty to con-
Wet, if all the members are present AS
few as 26 members-a bare quorum
may, however, act, and in that case it
will require only Is to convict The SEN
ate is composed of 80 Democrats, Re-
publicans and Populists. Counting the
Republicans and Populists against inn
parchment, it would take only Demo-
Gratis joining them to acquit the judges
impeached.
The defense claims enough Senators
against impeachment to acquit The call
CT number of names, but some of the
names called are also confidently claimed
by the prosecution.
The indications are that the vote will
be close, either way
During the entire trial a powerful lob
by has been at work in behalf of the i'm
peached judges, but it has, the prosecu-
ton declared last night made little or no
impression.
Yesterdays trains brought number of
visitors to the city. anxious to hear the
concluding speeches in the trial and wit
ness it's closing scenes.
During the entire trial the galleries
and Hobbies Of the Senate have been
crowded with people. Today being the
last day. the crush will probably be very
great as it was on the first day.
Judge Douglass has stood the trial re-
markedly well, and is coming down the
home-stretch in apparently good condi-
ton. The worry and anxiety of it has,
however, told on Chief Justice Furches,
deepening the lines on his face and Civ
ing his eyes an anxious hunted look.
Today probably, and certainly tomorrow,
the verdict will be rendered that will
end the case. ilisN&kgH

A NOTE PROM WASHINGTON.
If Russia Gains Manchuria She Must Accord
Us the Open Door
CBy the Associated Prcss.)

Washington, March 26.-The Senate De-
partment today made public a note sent
to the Chinese Minister February 10Th,
warming the Chinese Government against
entcring into any private territorial or
financial arrangements without the
kowledge of all the powers. The note is
as follows:
THE preservation Of the territorial in
tegrity of China having been recognized
by all the powers now engaged in joint
negotiation concerning the injuries re-
Gently inflicted upon their ministers and
nations by certain officials and subjects
CT the Chinese Empire, it is evidently adj
vantageous to China to continue the pres
ent international understanding upon this
subject 1t would be therefore, unwise
and dangerous in the extreme for China
to make any arrangement or TO consider
and proposition of private nature in
volving the surrender of territory or
financial obligations by convention with
any particular power, and the Government
of the United States. aiming solely at the
preservation of China from the danger
indicated and the conservation of the
largest and most beneficial relations be-
tween the empire and other countries, in
accordance with the principles set forth
in its circular note of July Bird, 1900, and
in purely friendly spirit toward the
Chinese Empire and all the powers now
interested in the negotiations, desires to
express its sense of the improprietT, in
expediency and even extreme danger TO
the interests of China or considering any
private territorial or financial arrange
ments, at least without the full knowl-
edge and approval of all the powers now
engged in negotiation
(Signed) HAY"
This note was transmitted on March LIST
to the representatives of the United
States in BERN, Vienna. Paris, London,
Rome. Toxic and St. Petersburg for in
formation and communication to the Gov
ernments to which they are accredited.
Assuming that the arrangement is to
be carried out, it is still the contention
of the State Department that nothing has
occurred to change the status of the Uni
ted States toward the "open door" as
applied to any part of China including
Manchuria AS far as written pledges can
commit a power, Russia stands pledged to
accord to the United States the "cpen
door" if she takes control of Manchuria
either directly by annexation. or indi-
rectly but quite as effectively by the
means proposed in this Russo Chinese
agreement. This is the view of the State
Department, and that view is endorsed
by the entire Cabinet. The Administra-
ton believes that the secret agreement
between Russia and China is in violation
Of the spirit if not the letter of tho
general understanding to which all the
powers subscribed last summer and tho
United States Government is prenared to
use all its moral suasion and influence
TO prevent its contamination Further
than that however. the Government is
not prepared to go.

Mr.. Pou s Speech.

''fn the development of the science of
self government it seems inevitable that
conflicts must arise between the Rep
resentatiyes of the people and other
branches of the government. 1t has
been so from the beginning and so it re-
mains. Heretofore these conflicts have
been between the Legislature and the
Executive, and usually these conflicts
have been waged over the right, always
claimed by the representatives of the peo-
pie, to control the levying of taxes and
the appropriation and expenditure of the
funds realized from such taxes. The
representatives of the people, here and
elsewhere, at all times, have realized
that if they permitted the power to levy
taxes, to appropriate money and to ex-
pend the public monies, to pass into
hands other than their own, the liberties
of the people would thereafter be held
only at the sufferance of the power which
could exercise these functions It has
been held in America, as well as in the
mother country that the liberty of the
people would not long survive the loss
of their control of the public treasury.
While these conflicts have heretofore
been between the Legislature and the
Executive, the conflicts of the future
may, and probably will, be between the
Legislature and the Judiciary, or between
the Legislature on the one side and the
Executive and the Judiciary on the 9TH
err Thoughtful men predict that no at
tempt upon the liberties of the American
people will stand any chance of success
which is not backed by the power, pres
tige and influence of the judiciary. Our
Difference for the judiciary is such that
the people are not quick to call atten-
ton to it's faults or it's delinqIeDcies,
nor are they apt to resist promptly in
sdiouS entertainments from that depart
ment. Our confidence in the judiciary is
such that we do not suspect it's motives,
nor would we believe the judiciary capa-
bic of bad motives in the absence of CO.
gent proof.
In the past attacks upon the liber-
ties of the people have assumed va
rious forms.
ATTACKS ON. TEE CONSTITUTION.
Sometimes, as in the case of Charles
First, old presidents are revived and
given new meaning and application,
and under the guise of those precedents
substantial rights OF the people are in
vaded and prerogatives not therefore held
are claimed by the executive.
AT other times, as during the reign
of James the Second, the attack has as
sumed the form of fragrant violation
of law on the part Of the Executive. Of
these methods of attack, manifestly the
less dangerous is where the law is openly
violated and defed. In such cases the
people see their danger at once and
adopt the necessary means of protecting
and securing their liberties. When James
the Second suspended the enforcement of
the law it was realized at once that
English liberty was at stake, and that
the king must be overthrow or that
the monarchy would become absolute.

Meanwhile many other persons began to
appear in the darkensd streets of the

the bandits with a rife, but his aim

BUTLER CALDwANDELL.
How They 0rnam snted the Court of Impeac b
ment Yesterday

There was much fine speaking in the
Court of Impeachment yesterday, but the
most thrilling incident of the day was
furnished by a nook in the lobby on the
west side of the Senate Chamber, where
ex-United States Senator Marion Butler
OF Hunnicutts township, and Editor
Joseph Caldwell, of the Charlotte OBJ
server. sat side by side as loving as any
other newly welded pair.
How strange the things the whirligig of
time brings US!
And as we contemplate the spectacle
we are reminded that once upon time.
Mother Goose, in a merry rhyme, said
something like this about a humble bee:
I
Heigho, what do l seei
Marion B. and Jodie C.
Sit in a row and wink at me.
What do they mean by the wink, wink,
wink?
do not know and l dare not think
If we dared think-why we would think
well, never mind what we would think.
OF course there may be other reasons
that we wot not of. but at any rate this
affectionate bed-fellowship furnished
much amusement and some wisdom to
such of us as had hitherto imagined these
worthy leaders" as showing their teeth
and bristling their hair whenever they
pass on the street
They not only sat together, but they
smiled into each others eyes and talked
of things that seemed of mutual interest.
No doubt it was the weather. At any
rate they talked
This was while Mr.. Pou was speaking.
During the afternoon session Of the
court these heavenly twins got separated,
and though Mr. Caldwell sat in much the
same seat he had formerly occupied. Mr..
Butler. cut off by the crowd, stood at
some distance listening to Governor
Jarvis's speech. He smiled, however in
most contented and approving fashion
upon the Governors effort, and seemed
almost as happy as at the morning ses-
sion.

positively that he was not here to set

strike and would not discuss the question
in any way. When asked what was the
reason for his visit to Mr.. Morgans office
during the day, he said dryly: "WeH, il

there will be no strike ordered on April
