SENATE A COURT TO-DAY
Upper House to Organize for
Judge Archbald's Trial.
rFrom The Tribune Bureau. J

Washington, July 1.-THE Senate Will
resolve itself into a court Of impeach-
ment and set IN motion the machinery
for the trial Of Judge Robert W. Arch
bald Of the Commerce Court. at o'clock
tomorrow afternoon. The Senators will
take the oath to administer impartial
Justice" and a summons will be issued 10
Judge Archibald TO appear on a certain
day and answer the charges Then the
actual hearing OF the case probably Will
he POSTPONED until November. when a
special session OF the Senate will be
called.
The preliminary proceedings took place
in the Senate to-day. the seven members
OF the House committee presenting the
articles Of impeachment The Senate in
tended to clothe to-day's ceremony With
fitting solemnity. but the chamber had the
appearance OF a stage that was not SGT.
This was due largely to the haste OF the
House committee. which. instead OF nou-
fyine the Senate that Il would prefer the
charges. thus enabling the upper body TO
appoint a committee 10 look after the pro-
cedure, presented the articles Of impeach-
ment without warning to-day.
After Representative Clayton. standing
in the centre aisle. had concluded the
reading Of the articles, and he and his six
colleagues from the House had taken
their departure. the Senate was at loss
what 70 do next Senator Clark, Of Wy
oming. chairman OF the judiciary Com
rnittee. offered an order. which was
adopted, appointing himself and Senators
Nelson, Dillingham;, Bacon and culberson
a committee TO act as a kind Of committee
on arrangements.
The Senate Is required by its rules TO
take up the articles OF impeachment not
later than ! o'clock on the day follow
ing their presentation. Hence at that time
tomorrow the court Of Impeachment will
be organized At the last Impeachment

ENGLAND IN EARNEST
"The London Times" Says She
Means Her Protest.
icy Cable to The Tribune. ]

London, July 16-"The Times says:
There appears 10 be some danger OF
misapprehension on the other side Of the
Atlantic as TO the British attitude with
regard TO the Panama bill II is some
what surprising to learn that good
many Americans seem to suppose that
the British protests against the projected
discrimination are not made I'm earnest.
'That supposition is quite unfounded.
We are convinced that the effects of the
privileges which II is intended 10 confer
upon American shipping will seriously
prejudice the large body of existing Brit
ish and Canadian trade. and not less
seriously impede the development Of both
which we may reasonably expect from
the opening Of tho canal.
"The supporters Of the bill seem to
imagine that were our objections seri-
ously entertained we should have en-
bodied them I'm a formal dispatch TO the
British Ambassador or an equally formal
document forwarded through the Ameri-
can Ambassador in London. Even Ameri-
cans who opposed the bill seem to think
that either Of these courses would have
been more effective than that which was
actually adopted.
If they are right we regret II was
not adopted. We can. however. assure
them and the supporters Of the bill that
the channel through which the commu-
Mica ton was made was not intended 10
convey in British eyes that IL was SUB
iect Of secondary concern. II was
chosen in order to make the discussion
easy and friendly as our desire is that
all discussions with the United States
should be.
1T cannot be supposed that American
opinion will object to putting the whole
subject up 10 arbitration. We desire
nothing which is not reasonable or just
neither. we are confident. do the Ameri-
cans II we cannot agree as to what
that is the plain course is to leave II
to the decision of the international tri-
bunal."

ASK BETTER COTTON BALES
Claims for Damages Are Too
Costly, It Is Asserted.

conference OF representatives OF rail-
roads, cotton shippers. marine insurance
companies. bankers, cotton compressers,
spinners associations. cotton exchanges
and cotton associations, together with a
representative OF the government, was
held yesterday at the Waldorf to arrive
at practical solution Of the question
that has arisen over the refusal OF the
steamship lines operating out of Atlantic
and Gulf ports to accept country dam
aged" cotton after September l. e. j.
Glenny, president Of the New Orleans
Cotton Exchange, acted as chairman OF
the meeting.
Ii was finally decided TO have a sub
committee OF ten consider the questions
involved and report to the general con-
ference this afternoon.
The action OF the steamship lines has
caused big stir in the cotton industry
especially among the shippers, and If the
measure adopted by the steamship lines
is enforced 1t will result in materially
changing the method OF baling cotton
The steamship lines have been required
10 pay many claims on cotton that they
assert was damaged before reaching their
hands. Unless the conditions are modified
at the present conference cotton ship
pers will be forced to deliver their mer-
chandise in perfect covering. II will mean
the use Of more and better bagglng and a
better protected bale.
At the conference the cotton shippers
contended that It would be quite impos-
sible for them to comply with the de-
mands of the steamship lines. 1t was
claimed that the method Of baling cotton
and covering IT I'm vogue at present is
about as perfect as could be devised.
In discussing the action Of the steam
ship lines Mr.. Sanders, OF the Leland
Company, said the steamship agents were
not reformers, but they believed that the
American bale Of cotton is the worst
package In the world

HELPED AMERICAN TRADE
Secretary Knox's South Amer
lean Trip Had Good Results.
tFrom The Tribune Bureau

Washington. July 15.-That the South
American trip Of Secretary Knox went
far TO advance the good work begun by
Secretary Root when he visited the South
American republics Is the assertion of
Colonel ]. r. Flynn. an exporter and i'm
porter, of Chicago. who is now in Wash
ington.
Since Secretary Knox's visit to South
America tho Americans in that country
have taken courage and are making re-
newed efforts to extend trade relations
between this country and South Amer
ica." said Colonel Flynn. Former Secre-
tary Roots visit TO South America did a
lot OF good and gave us an opening In
that part Of the world that has led TO
good results. but Knox's trip has served
TO strengthen matters, with the result
that. in my opinion, the commerce be-
tween South America and the United
States will be more than doubled in the
next year or two.
