The vote in favor of im- peaehn.ent taken yesterday by the Ju- dietary Committee stood to for im- pc achment. Those who favored impeach- raSnt were De Armond of Missouri Smith ot Kentucky, Clayton of Alabama, Hen ry of Texas.

 Representatives Powers and Palmer are the two Republicans of the major tty. Mir. Palmer Is the member of the subcommittee of three that went to Florida to conduct the investigation He and Mir. Clayton drew the majority re- port of the subcommittee which was subsequently, adopted by majority of sne lull committee. The live mempers. ali Republicans. who voted aeainst inn- peachment were: Jenkins of Wisconsin. Parker of New Jersey, Alexander of New York, Littleheld of Maine. Gillett of California.

ceptinued to be second only to the state Ceritol.
 The Exchange Hotel was huiit about fifty years ago under special statute of the Legislature of Alabama. At that time the company was composed of Charles T. Pollard. father of Capt. chas T. Pollard. now citizen of Montgomery: John Crommelin, father of Hon. John Crommelin. sometime Mayor of Montgom- cry. r M. Giimer. Sterling Lanier. A. P. Watt 8. c. Lanier. William v. Lanier anl others
 The officers of the present company are s. Gassenheimer. president and c. A. Lanier. secretary.
 Stocks and Bonds Equal.
 Every person, who was asked for a subscription to the new company was required to take an equal amount In stock as his subscription for bonds.
 No officers of the new company have been selecteod. Although the company is at this time in reality an existing thing the formal interpretation has not been accomplished and until that time no of- hcers will be elected or the lessee secur- ed
 While no detailed plans have been agreed upon. 1t Is authoritatively stated that there win not be an old thing in the new structure.
 The news of the securing of the new hotel. while not widespread last night. was received with the greatest enthusi- asm by all the business men and repre- sentative Montgomerians. who heard it. For many years 1t has been argued that Montgomery's greatest drawback was the lack of large. modern hotel. Many conventions, which would have been otherwise held In. Montgomery went to other cities by reasau of lack of hotel faeiiftfes Tn A1abama's Capital City.
 It is well known by business men that travelling salesmen invariably @urried from Montgomery on account of poor hotel accommodations and there have been times when persons who visited Mont gomery on special occasions were com pelled to accept barber chairs and the bare floors of public buildings for sleep ing accommodations.
 When the business men heard of the alleviation of these difficulties being in sight they rejoiced. When the commit- tee reported to the Commercial and In- dustrial Association yesterday afternoon the success of their efforts, one enthu- siastic bushes man exclaimed. in his en- thusiasm, Gentlemen, we win have to erect Montgomery Hall of Fame so that your statues may adorn it."

BOLT OCCURS IN TEXAS
STATE REPUBLICAN, CoNvEN-
 TON IS HELD.
Noticeable Feature Is the Absence of Negroes-Two Delegations are Sent to the Chicago
 Convention.

Y Dallas. Texas, March 1--In the Texas state Republican Convention held here this afternoon ths feature noticeable was the absence of negroes who heretofore have taken much nere prominent part in the Aconyentseu tliz zn wss the c.iss t64 day.
 In the morning meeting of the Htate Executive Committee was held While the regular convention was being held, there was held a session composed chiefly of negroes, with few whites. and a bolt from the regular convention was effected two white and two negro delegates being chosen to represent the State at large In the national convention at Chicago
 In the convention proper the following delegates at large to the National Con- vention were elected. Cecil A. Lyon of Sherman, chairman of the State Execu- tive Committed; R. B. Hawley, Calves ton, National Committeeman; C. M. Fer guson, San Antonio and M. NJ. Rodgers, La Grange. The alternates were: David Abner Seguin: H. J. Goree, Atlanta; Thomas Hall, Palestine and Judge R. E. Hannay. Hempstead
 The convention proper was often mark ed by scenes that threatened further trouble, but harmony was eventually secured. The result of the election of delegates is regarded as decisive victory for Chairman Lyon, who also received the endorsement for National Committee man from the State. The resolutions commend the national administration and instruct the delegates to vote for Roose- velt's renomination.
 An attempt to adopt a resolution sup porting Senator Fairbanks of Indiana for the Vice Presidency was defeated

FUNERAL OFCAMBRIDGE
BURIED WITH EXTRAORDINARY
 MILITARY HoNoRS.
No Since the Death of Wellington Has There Been Such Honor Shown to Eng1and's
 Soldier Lead.

{ London, March 22-The Duke of Cam bridge was buried today after a funeral such as had been accorded to no Eng fish soldier since the death of the Duke of Wellington. King Edward, Queen Alexandra and nearly all the members of the royal family, representatives or foreign monarchies, a majority of the nobility, the diplomatic corps and repre- sentative British subjects in all walks of fife attended the impressive national ser vice at Westminster Abbey. Thereafter the body of the old Duke" as he was affectionately known to the public was taken to Kensalgreene cemetery and buried beside that of his wife.
 Thousands of troops marched through and lined the streets and dense crowds watched the spectacle which in military ma gnificance rivalled the funeral of Queen Victoria
 The King wearing a field marshars uniform, and the Queen. in the deepest mourning, drove from Buckingham pal ace to the Abbey shortly before Il o'clock. The crowds uncovered in silence and the troops reversed arms on their arrival.
 The Abbey was then packed with dip lomatsts, privy counsellors and army officers all in gorgeous uniforms. The King walked up the aisle which was lined by grenadIers, their busbies bent low over the reversed arms and took his place as chief mourner at the head of the coffin.
 The Prince of Wales, the Duke of Con- naught and the other Princes stood be- Nhind him. Prince Albrecht of Prussia represented Emperor William while from the United States embassy. Ambass ador Choate and the military attache, Maj, Beacon, were present. ~
 Among the principal mourners were Admiral and Col. Fitzgeorge, the late Duke's son. On the other side of the cofhn stood five field marshals, Wolsley, fIaInes, Roberts, Norman and Wood, who with a score of famous brigadier gener- aIs, acted as pail bearers. In a corner of the Abbey stood a number of veterans who had fought with the Duke of Cam bridge in the Crimea. Every branch of the army and of the volunteers was rep resented.
 The Dean of Westminster read the ser vice and a dirge. which had not been played since the funeral of Queen Mary II echoed through the Abbey.
 The Norroy Rink of Arms (Wm. Hen ry Weldon) hoarsely proclaimed 3fhe full
 itles of the dead man, eight gsenadiers fitted the cofflD and the King walked be- hind it, followed by a throng of officers n crimson and gold uniforms.
 Tn the bright sunshine. the thousands bf people outside the Abbey watched the eofin being placed on the gun carriage. The old Dukes charger, with stirrups re- 1ersed, followed his master to the grave.
 The King. princes. ambassadors and generals entered twenty-one carriages
 Ind started on the long journey to the
 emetery. Ahead of the gun carriage

 This Committee worked Friday. satur- Gay and Monday. Late yesterday after neon the committee reported that all the fund had been raised with the exception or s5.Ooo which is easily in sight
 Nc small subscriptions were solicited. Every man who took stock took at leas Y ovo, and there were several who did not limit themselves to this amount.
 Architects have already been consulted. and while no official information has been given out, 1t is indicated that the hotel wiE be q six story structure and will have at least 150 rooms.
 No vestige of the old Exchange Hotel will remain. It was indicated last night that not even the old name would be re- tGined. The ground on which the new building will rest will be the only ex- isting remembrance of the ancient host elry.
 In few days a stock company win ba formally organised and bids on the plans and specifications for the new structure will be received.
 As soon as the company is fairly launched, a competent lessee, an expert hetei man. will be selected.
 A Historic Bnilding.
 When the work of demolition of the old hotel building begins October 1, one os Montgomery's most ancient land marks will pass into history with some Of the great men whom the building has sheltered. The old house is well known by every living public man in Alabama. In its parlors laws of great interest to the future of the. State have been fram- ed. In It's rooms distinguished men of every calling have slept. In the old or dinary, the Confederate Cabinet held its first meeting and Jefferson Davis, the only President of the Confederate States. was frequenter of the Exchange Hotel.
 In modern times. the old hotel lost much of It's popularity as hotel, but as the political centre of Alabama 1t has
