Dur I'TpailrntE,

Andrew Johnson was the only Presi
dent OF .he United States ever in.
peached, and on the trial before the
Senate he was acquitted, the vote in
favor OF conviction barely falling short
OF the necessary two thirds.
Two resolutions OF ccnsure on the
President have been passed, on.e 10y
the Senate and once by the House, on
occasions when the hostile majority was
not large enough either to PISS meus
nres over the Presidents veto or to- i'm
peach him
The first WIS passed by the Senate on
March %, 1881, ]cGnsuring President
Andrew Jackson for alleged violation of
the constitution and laws 10y his remov.
nj OF the government deposits from the
United States bank. The majorit, OF
the Senate wHs opposed to jackson in
lIs war upon. that bank, and this vote Of
censure was the only thing they could
do about it. jackson protested against
this resolution rs IA charge To answer which
no opportunity could he afforded him,
The Senate refused to receive the pro.
test. Finally, IN Jan. IL, 1897. the reso-
ution Of censure was %eXpunged from
the journal OF the Senate.
The second resolution Of censure was
in II report adopted by the House from
the House committee to which Presi.
dent John Tyler's message vetoirR the
tariff bin Of 1912 had been referred.
This report censured the Pres ident for
alleged improper use Of the veto power,
Tyler protested against this. M Jackson
had done before him. but he had. as a
member OF the Senate. voted against re-.
ceiving Jockson's protect. and in answer
to his protest the House sent hIm Il copy
OF the Senate resolution on the former
occasion.

In relation to the Bouden stock. In
the conference with Judge Lancaster 1t
was understood that suit could only be
brought by a stakeholder. Gov. Van
SAINT said he would have nothing to do
with any strike He would not touch
the case unless 1t was understood that
the action would be carried to the SUI
preme court of the United States If
necessary. 1t was after that that Mr..
Bouden qualified and he authorized the
suit
Replying to the questions of Mr..
Guthrie, counsel for the Northern Pa
cific. Mr.. Weidenfeld said that E. r.
Thomas Ca banker) was at first adj
verse to the present litigation but that
he talked him into 1t. That was after
Mr.. Lambs visit to the West. The
witness had shortly before stated that
he and Mr.. Thomas had Jointly pur-
chased 400 shares of Northern Pacific
stock.
Witness Can't Remember
did not Capt. Stern or Mr. Lamb tell
you," Mr.. Guthrie went on, that Judge
Lancaster had declined to go on with
the case unless he was convinced that
Peter Power was bona fide stockhold-
er?"
Il don't remember" was the reply.
Did not Judge Lancaster send you
word he would have nothing to do with
the Great Northern suit if it was to be
a striker"
Il understand he sent some mes
sage" said Mr.. Weidenfeld.
Asked why he did not personally
sue, the witness said that Lamb had
told him he had a plaintiff. Witness
stock was sent out to the Western
meeting.
Cannot Answer Question.
Then why did you go to Mr.. Thomas
to procure plaintiff instead of suing
yourself, if you had any grievance to
redress?" queried Mr.. Guthrie.
II think Mr.. Thomas had the stock.
L really cannot answer the question"
replied Mr.. Weidenfeld.
Replying to Mr.. Lamb, he said he did
not authorize Capt. Stern to make a
payment to Lamb to defray the ex-
penses of the trip West to confer with
Judge Lancaster and the Western law
yers To other questions Mr.. Weiden-
field said he never heard Peter Powers
name until after the suit was filed, and
he first learned of the suit itself
through the newspapers.

MORE GREAT WESTERN RUMoRs.
Now 1t Is Morgan Who Is Trying to
Buy the System,


Rumor is again busy with the Great
western road, and has it once more
about to be sold. The latest report is
that President Stickney is negotiating
with people representing the Morgan
interests
1t is said that President Stickney
mas set high price on the road and
that this has caused the other parties
who were after the system to drop out
or the race. The extension of the road
to Omaha, it is claimed, is only for
the purpose of making the property
more desirable, but he is credited with
sun more clever move.
This is, it is claimed, the heavy re-
auction of packing house rates. and
the ones who are circulating the story
declare that this was done simply to
show that the Great Western was an
important factor in the rate situation
and could fix rates at any time to suit
is own convenience.
The North Western and the Illinois
Central are now brought into the deal.
The former road, according to the
story, is to take over that portion of
the system from Marshalltown to
Kansas City. and the latter road the
Twin City branch.
