senate and the judges of the court OF
appeals fixed for September 1S,the
spectacle was presented last night of
two men claiming to be governor of

AS soon as the articles of impeach-

day morning by the Democratic ma
iority in the assembly, were presented
to the senate shortly after 8 o'clock
yesterday afternoon, Lieutenant-Gov-
ernor Martin H. Glynn announced his
intention of occupying the executive

Friends of Governor Sulzer declared
that the governor intended to continue

no constitutional right to consider i'm

1.-THE GRANARY OF
NORTH AMERICA"
GOVERNOR sULZER SAYS THAT
OF WESTERN CANADA.

The close ties of friendship exist
ing between the United States and
Canada were dwelt upon in addresses
by Premier Robert L. Borden, of Can
ada, and Governor Sulzer, at the an
nual dinner Of the University Club of
Albany.
Canada and the United States"
said Premier Borden, have a common
heritage in the language, the litera-
ture, the laws, the institutions and the
traditions which have come down to
them from the men of bygone days.
Perhaps no more instructive object
lesson ever has been given to the
world than the four thousand miles of
undefended boundary line from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, which bears
silent but eloquent testimony to the
mutual confidence and respect of the
two nations. Time will shortly place
upon the brow of each nation the lau-
rel of n hundred years Of peace. 1t
matters not SO much as to the form
of the outward celebration. but let us
hope that its full significance may
I'LL uOCp AhbO INC hSo1N6 vi WILL hd-
tions, and that, whether north or south
of the boundary, we may stand with
bowed and reverent heads, offering
grateful thanks for the Divine blessing
Of peace, and earnest prayers hat in
the century to come, mutual confidence,
goodwill and respect may truly ami
mate the ideals and aspirations of both
nations"
Referring to the natural resources
possessed by the United States and
Canada, particularly along the st
Lawrence River, the premier urged
that they be preserved and developed
for the people"
Governor Sulzer predicted that the
Great Canadian Northwest is designed
to become, before long, the granary o,
North America"
MANY Of our best citizens, l regre
to say" said the governor, "are leav
ing the States of the west and goint
into the Canadian northwest, because
Of the fertility of its soil, the lib
crafty of the Canadian government
and the ability of those people to bet
ter their conditions here.
I'VE should extend to them a helI
ing hand in their onward march o
progress. Instead of closing our door
by tariff barriers against these cour
tries and their products, in my opinion
we should open them wider and d
everything in our power to facilitat
