chased the r. G.. Glenn farm on the Bat

the discovery of very rich quality OF
gold bearing ore on the premises. Exper-
Fenced miners pronounce it a "fissure
vein.' Specimens of the ore were sent
sometime ago to an expert, and his report
pronounces it very rich, yielding $50 to
$50 per- ton. The proprietors have signed
"A contract with Mr.. J. Frank Green. an

Are Not Swayne's Repub-
.Iican Friends Strain
ing a Point?
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, March 22-It is said there
will be two reports made to the House Iii
the matter of the proposed Impeachment
OF Federal Judge Charles Swayne, OF
Florida. The vote in favor OF impeach-
ment taken yesterday stood s to for

Georgia. Powers. of Massachusetts; Pal
mer, of Pennsylvania.
Representatives Powers and Palmer are
the two Republicans of the majority.
Mr.. Palmer is a member of the sub
committee of three that went to Florida
to conduct the investigation. He and
Mr. Clayton drew the majority report OF
the subcommittee, whichwas subsequent
ly adopted by majority of the full com
mittee. The five members, all Republi
cans, who voted against impeachment
were:
jenkins. of Wisconsin; Parker, of New
Jersey; Alexander, of New York; Little
field, of Maine; Gillette, of California.
The division of the committee, it is said
is to be taken as indicating that the i'm

There were four absentees, Representa-
tives Warner, of Illinois; Thomas, of Iowa
Neyin, of Ohio, and Pearre, of Maryland
all Republicans. At least one of the alb
sontees is said to have favored impeach-

III connection with the proposed trial
some consideration has been given to its

THE CANAL COMMISSION.
The Body Meets for the First Time.
instructions From the President.
(By the Associated Press.)

Washington, March 22.-Preliminary
work was begun today by the Isthmian
Canal Commission. The first full meet
ing of the commission was held in the OF
fees of Admiral Walker, the chairman.
Little of Importance was accomplished, the
session resolving itself into an informal
discussion of various features of the pre-
liminary work and of preparation for the
first visit of the commission to Panama.
General instructions to the members OF
the commission were contained in a letter
from President Roosevelt to the commits
sion under date of March 8. The letter,
which was read at the meeting, says that
the commission has been appointed Ito
undertake the most important and also
the most formidable engineering feat that
has hitherto been attempted" 1t says the
commission has been chosen purely be-
cause of personal and professional repu-
tations for integrity and ability" that it
represents neither section nor party and
as to the majority the President has not
the slightest idea what their political af-
filiations are. The letter says the Pres
ident will not hesitate to remove any men,
Der failing to give the best service it is
possible to procure, but so long as eff
Gent service is rendered you may rest
assured of my hearty support and back
. ing" The letter says the same principles
should apply to the choice of subordinates,
that any employee who falls short of eX-
pectations should be dismissed without
the slightest heed to any backing or in
fluence he may have, The letter con-
tinues:
81 assume as matter of course that in
dealing with contractors you will act on
precisely the principles which would APP
ply in any great pirate business under
taking.
''As to the details of the work itself /
have but little to say. 1t is to be done
as expedltiously as possible, and as eco
nomically as is consistent without thor
oughness. This is one matter to which
! wish to ask your special attention; the
question of sanitation and hygiene. You
will take measures to secure the best
medical experts for this purpose who you
can obtain and you will, of course, make
the contractors submit as implicitly as
your own employees to all the rules and
regulations of medical department under
YOU. l presume you will find it best to
have one head for this medical DEPART
ment, but that I shall leave to your own
judgment.
'The plans are to be carefully made
with view to the needs not only of the
moment, but of the future The expendi-
lures are to be supervised as vigorously
as if they were being made for a private
corporation derendent fo rits profits upon
the returns. You are to secure the best
talent this country can afford to meet the
conditions created by every need which
may arise. The methods for achieving the
results must be yours What this ma
tion will insist upon is that the results
be achieved"
THEODORE ROOSEVELT"

| Wynne said the list came to his aften,
tion when the Postmaster General. showed
him "a letter from Chairman Overstreet
asking for information as to clerk hlre
and leases made to members OF Congress.
The Postmaster General instructed Mr..
Wynne to procure the list. Mr.. Waters
produced the list and Mr.. Wynne said he
noticed that it contained the names OF
Senators, members of Congress and 9TH
ers.
Il called this to the attention OF the
Postmaster General said Mr.. Wynne,
land on my statement that it would not
be right to couple the names OF these
gentlemen with Beavers and Machen he
agreed with me.
The names were eliminated and the list
sent 20 Mr.. Overstreet without them.
The next day the Postmaster General
informed Mr.. Wynne that this was not
satisfactory and the Overstreet letter
asking for detailed information was read.
Acting under orders from the Postmaster
General preparation of the printed list
was begun. When number OF cases had
been prepared they were submitted to
the Postmaster General and by MIN to
Mr.. Overstreet. This was exactly what
was wanted, he was told The work was
completed February 4th and transmitted
to Mr.. Overstreet the next day. The list
contained the names of members and was
the list published in the report.
Mr.. Bartlett asked if this was originally
prepared at the instance of the Postoffice
Committee.
Mr.. Wynne answered that the list was
not so prepared. it was in existence. He
added that Mr.. Waters might answer that.
Mr.. Waters said the list was originally
prepared at the instance OF Chief Post
office Inspector Cochran and Mr.. Brlstow,
who wanted to know how many reduc-
tions had been made in separating allow
ances Mr.. Cochran asked If 1t was safe
to say there were a hundred such cases.
The answer was that about IUO reduc-
tions had been made.
Mr.. Bartlett went over the ground with
Mr.. Waters to get his impression Of the
reason Inspector Cochran wanted the list
in the first instance, and asked:
''They want the list of the names of
Congressman, and wanted you to state
If it was safe to say there were only a
hundred such cases?'
THAT is my recollection"
Ibid he give you any reason?"
Il inferred from the conversation that
statement had been made or he was
called upon to make statement about
the number of such cases, and he wanted
to know if it was safe to say it,
prior to that time asserted Mr. Bart
lett, "a statement had been made public
in which il had been stated that there
were one hundred cases of that charac-
ter"

COCHRAN ATTACKS ROOSEVELT


The president by his usurpa. ion OF
the functions OF the legislative by
authorizing the service pension act,
has made it extremely difficult for his
partisans 20 say a reasonable word in
his defense
Burke Cochran arraigned him The
other day on the floor Of the house
mgking quite plain, hat he had gone
quite beyond the executive authori y,
and called upon congress to reassert
itself ami regain the dominant position
from which such dlctator.al actions
throw that body
Representative Dalzell, Ct Pennsyl-
vania, attempted to reply to Mr.. Cock
ran, bu he could fnd no reply to the
accusation that the president bad
usurped the authority Of congress.
Representative Grosvenor, Of Ohio
likewise tried to come TO the defense
of the president. remarking that he
believed that the country would APP
prove of the pension order" General
Grosvenor IS evidently faclle be-
lever But he could find no answer
o the charges OF usurpation.
Can any one? 1t appears to be a
pretty plain case. But there is moth
ing about the mat er which shoul oc-
casion surprise. Mr.. Roosevelt has
shown IN a score OF ways that he has
no clear idea ef the relative import
ance OF the executive and the o her
branches Of the federal government.
The fact that he violates the law
makes no difference to him. He is
essentially lawless.
