house will adopt the committees re-
port If this happens the house will
present the case to the senate and then
will follow a trial which may occupy
the senate for weeks.
The last case of impeachment was
that of Secretary Belknap in the Grant
administration. The house of repre-
sentatives in 1876 voted to impeach
Belknap, but before the trial came to
conclusion in the senate, Belknap re-
signed from his position as secretary
of war and that was the end of it, al
though a question arose as to whether
the resignation of a government official
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 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 impeached
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 Its
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, 1SO4-O5; James Peck,
United States district judge for Mis-
souri,, 1S261S31; West w. Humphreys,
United States district judge for Mis-
souri,, 1861.

COLONEL c. j. MONFORT.

Colonel C. J. Monfort, who had been
lowering between life and death for
ten days died April 9 at the Windsor
hotel, st. Paul. For many years he
had operated the hotel, and he was
widely known through the northwest,
both politically and socially.
Col. Charles j. Monfort has been one
of the best known men in ST. Paul for
more than forty years. He assumed
charge of the Windsor hotel twenty
four years ago and since that time his
acquaintance widened throughout the
state and the Northwest.
Col. Monfort was born in Colches-
ter, Delaware county, \. v, March Is,
1871. He moved to st. Paul when a
young man and was connected with
the Peoples bank. of which his broth
err. ID. A. Montfort, was cashier. Dur
ing the war he was in the office of
Maj. Phinney, paymaster for the de-
partment of Dakota. He assisted in
preparing Fort Ripley for defense
against an attack from Hole-in-the-
Day during the Sioux outbreak in
1862.

sensation by picking out place which
will cut off large portion of the vista

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 the place selected by the
secretary and would compel it to be

saving an architectural blunder which
could never be remedied. But Speaker

the bill, finds himself helpless. So dc

of the so-called park commission,
