Southeastern coast of Alaska, visiting
te glaciers and the totem pole villages.

Port Angeles is another interesting
voyage The dozens of vessels COM
prising the mosquito fleet offer more
daylight excursions than could be
found anywhere else in the world.
Arrangements have been made
whereby visitors to Seattle this year
will be admitted to the salmon Gamer

by steamer, the trip requiring a day.
Bellingham is also visited on this trip.

the Mecca for thousands and the steam

EXPOSITION NOTES

A reproduction in natural colored
sugar of the state house at Honolulu,
Hawaii, standing % feet high, is to
be seen in the Hawaiian building at
the Seattle Worlds fair.
A chunk of coal weighing 2.700
pounds is an exhibit in the Mines
building at the Alaska Y ukon- Pacific
exposition. It is from Washington
mine.
So comprehensive is the exhibit of
the Fisheries department of the ma
tional government at the Seattle World s
Fair, that the only thing left in the
sea and not shown is McGinty in Davey
Jones' locker.
Zone pleasing feature about your
exposition. said an Atlanta, Georgia,
newspaper man in speaking of the Sc
attic exposition. ''is that there is no
extortion permitted. There are prices
to meet everyone's pocketbook.
A complete history of our country
may be gathered in short space of
time from the papers and curios on
exhibit in the state department at the
Seattle exposition.
Seven different car lines, steam
boat line and many autou obiles are
employed in carrying the crowds to
and from the exposition grounds.
The spiritual and intellectual devel-
opment of the great Northwest is as
fully exploited at the Alaska ukon-
Pacific exposition as is the commercial
and industrial growth.

Olympia. July 1.-Adhering strictly
to the program mapped out in the ex-
ecutive offices Tuesday night, the ad-
ministration forces yesterday filed
charges of impeachment against John
H. Schively, insurance commissioner,
with the senate. Malfeasance, miscon-
duct, extortion, perjury and neglect of
duty are, IN the main, the charges,
there being twenty-s six articles in the
Indictment
Shortly after 3 o'clock the charges
were taken to the senate by the house
impeachment managers, were received
there, the senate sworn in as court
of impeachment by Chief Justice Full
lerton. Piper and Booth were the only
absentees when the oath was admins
tered. The summons was duly issued,
returnable at 1870 o'clock this morn
ing, and at O'Clock it was served on
Schively at his Office by A. J.
Ahola, sergeant at arms of the senate
The delay was due to the fact that
the senate clerical force had to make
copies of the articles for serving pur-
poses before the accused could be mott
fed.
Managers Meet
In the evening the impeachment
managers met at the attorney generals
Office to discuss procedure. Assistant
Attorney General Lee will conduct
the case for the managers. The plan
the prosecution has in mind is to give
the accused until Wednesday, July 7,
to answer and on that date start in on
the trial.
Criticism has been made of the effort
to impeach Schively for offenses COM
mitted when he was deputy insurance
commissioner under Secretary of State
Nichols ON the ground that it will be
difficult to impeach an elective officer
for his misconduct in a subordinate
capacity several years ago. The chief
findings against hin. in the report of
the investigating committee were on
counts of this character, Before s.Lb-.

inal trial at Spokane, and the other for
absenting himself from his office and
generally neglecting the business OF
the department in recent months.
Schively Won't Talk
Schiyely declines to discuss his
plans, but refers all inquirers to his
attorney. George Israel, who is almost
constantly with him. II am not GER
tain what course we shall take tomor-
row.: said Mr.. Israel last night. 1--WE
may elect to go to trial Immediately
and may ask time to answer. The
only thing certain is that we will be at
the bar of the senate tomorrow morn
ing. The governor in requiring the
insertion of the perjury and neglect of
duty charges in the articles has ex-
hibited the weakness of his case and
made a serious mistake. He is either
guilty of disregarding the advice of a
good lawyer or taking that of poor
one Both of these charges, if there
is any truth in them, could be prose-
cuted in the criminal courts at an ex-
pense to the state of but $500 or $500,
as against the $50, 600 that this is to
cost, and, in fact, one of them is al
ready pending in the criminal courts.
The other twenty-four charges are the
relation of various matters all ending
with the allegation that they constitute
malfeasance, as if the mere declaration
made it so.
"We have no desire to delay unnec-
essarily, but we will insist on our
right to controvert the states testi-
mony. In doing so we are not going
to be backward about summoning wit
nesses. We will have plenty of them
at the expense of the state. My judg-
ment is that the trial will occupy
about thirty or forty days.
