house will adopt the committees re-
port. If this happens the house will
present the case to the senate and then
will follow trial which may occupy
the senate for weeks.
The last case of impeachment was
that of Secretary Selknap in the Grant
administration. The house of repre-
sentatives in 1876 voted to impeach
Belknap, but before the trial came to
a conclusion in the senate, Belknap re-
signed from his position as secretary
OF war and that was the end of 1t, al
though question arose as to whether
could properly be accepted in such
circumstances.
The most famous impeachment case
is that Of Andrew Johnson in the For
tieth congress, the result of which ev-
erybody is supposed to know. John
son was impeached by the house, but
after a long trial the senate failed to
convict him, the vote standing 35 ayes
to 10 noes, one less than the two-thirds
majority required by the constitution
The first impeachment case was that
of William Blount, United States sena-
tor from Tennessee. He was fmpeached
for violating the neutrality laws of the
United States in instigating the Creeks
and Cherokees to aid the British in
conquering the Spanish territory Of
western Florida. He was found guilty
and expelled on July 8, 1897 but during
the trial he was elected to the state
senate of Tennessee and chosen It's
president
All other impeachment cases have
affected federal judges, as follows:
John Pickering, district Judge of New
Hampshire, 10000 Samuel Chase, as
sociate justice of the supreme court of
the United States, 1S04-05; James Peck,
United States district judge for Mis-

HORSE SAVES TWO LIVES.
Train Approaching and Acts
with Promptness.

A Maiden physician had an adven-
turc some time ago which he does not
care to repeat. although 1t gave him
a much higher appreciation of the in
telllgence ii his pet driving horse than
he had previously entertained. He
was returning home from visiting q
patient late at night, in company with
a clergyman, when the horse stopped
short at one Of the most dangerous
grade crossings within the city limits
Absorbed in lively conversation with
his clerical friend. and seeing no gate
down, he mechanically touched the
horse with the whip and urged It by
his voice to go forward; but the spir-
tied animal for once would not re-
spond, and, instead Of obeying, stepped
briskly aside and turned his head as
far as possible from the train which
just then whizzed by at the rate of 40
miles an hour.
It was a close call for the occu-
pants of the carriage. who sat breath
less through the moments of terrible
suspense, but the horse maintained its
attitude of half circle until the
danger was passed 1t seems that the
gatekeeper was asleep at his post and
had neglected his duty, but the deli
cate ears of the horse had detected the
sound of the coming train and had
rightly interpreted it as the signal OF
a danger to be avoided. Both men
we're firmly convinced that they owed
their lives. under Providence, to the In
telligent use the animal made of its
former experiences with grade crossings.

its great Importance first under Speak
err Reed with the adoption of the new
rules of the house, under which all the
most important legislation was enacted
under special orders adopted by the
committee, of course with the speakers
approval Under Reed the rules COM
mittee was kept busy all the time. In
the Fifty-frst congress Cannon and
Mckinley were the majority members
of it.
When Reed came back to the speak
ership Vie had with him Henderson and
Dalzell. Under Henderson the other
republicans on the committee were
Dalzell and Grosvenor, and they are
now Cannon's associates, but it Is no.
ticeable that these two members who.
with Henderson. were regarded as the
whole thing are not seen in the speak
er's room now nearly as often as some
of the younger members of the house
who, under the old regime, were not
highly regarded by the powers in con-
troll.
Speaker Cannon is getting to lean
more and more upon Hemenway of In
diana and Tawney of Minnesota, one of
whom, now chairman of the appropria-
ton committee. was in the last con-
gress of importance only as Cannons
lieutenant, and the other Of whom was
regarded as Kicker" altogether out
of favor with the men in control. For
that matter. Cannon himself was out
side the breastworks and nothing but
his powerful individuality and his po-
sition as chairman of the appropria-
lions committee. which could not be
well taken away from him, gave him a
position of standing and influence in
the house.
AS for the committee on rules 1t has
had very little to do during the present
session. 1t has hardly been necessary
to bring in special order for the pur-
pose of putting through any measure
of Importance, and without special or
ders the committee on rules becomes
somewhat superfluous body.

between the Washington monument
and the capitol that has been one OF
the greatest beauties of Washington
for hundred years. If congress could
get at the thing it would pass law,
with little or no opposition, which
would prevent the location of the new
building in theIplace selected by the
secretary and would compel 1t to be
moved back a hundred feet or so, thus
saving an architectural blunder which
could never be remedied. But Speaker
Cannon refuses to let any bill Of this
kind come up in the house and Repre-

OUR PHILIPPINE INTERESTS.
Advantages Accruing to the United
States Through Possession of
the Islands.

Gen. James H. Wilson undoubtedly
expressed a widespread view when he
declared in the discussion on the Rus
so-Japanese war before the American
Academy Of Political and Social Sci
ence that the Philippines conferred no
substantive Advantage on the United
States.
This view fails to consider all the
conditions, says the Philadelphia
Press. The Philippines yield no reve-
nue.. They furnish the United States
no military forces. They add instead
to the points which demand defense
and garrison, an army and feet.
But this army and this fleet give the
United States its entire position in the
east. In 1900 the United States en-
joyed its weighty authority at Peking
because it was nearest to the scene of
disturbance. had 10000 seasoned men
on whom it could draw, and, next to
Japan. was the first power to be ready
with brigade in the march on the
Chinese capital. Thanks to the Phil
ippines and our interests there, our
navy in the Pacific Is to-day the larg-
est save that of England. What did
we have on the Pacific coast of Asia
when war was last declared there in
1856? The Monocacy, side-wheel-
err, and one or two cruisers. To-day
our battleships and cruisers fall just
short of England's. AS M. Delcasse
said in the French chamber of deputies
when taken to account for the small
French Pacific fleet, France could not
think of rivaling or equaling the naval
force Of the United States on the east
coast of Asia, since the United States
had to-day larger interests on the Ash
attic Pacific coast than any other
power.
These interests are conferred by the
possession of the Philippines. They
would not exist otherwise. They may
seem small and Of no substantive adj
vantage to Gen. Wilson. They do not
thus appear to an astute and expert
enced French diplomatist and states
man like M. Delcasse, the French min
lister of foreign affairs. He sees that
Secretary Hay speaks with authority
IN CnlneSe affairs DeCduSe Vi THESE IN
terests, and would be no stronger than
his predecessors without them.
The Philippines give the United
States standing in Asiatic affairs. They
give those who direct our policy and
speak in our diplomacy the weight and
backing of an army and navy nearer
the scene of action than any other
force directed by any great neutral
power. On these things influence and
authority rest. With them the United
States Is power in east Asiatic in
terests. Without them 1t would be
but one of the great powers. with no
special authority to speak and with no
force at hand to give its authority ut
terance, and policy weight.
