his statement that he had paid for the
letters. and that he, he alone, should
have first reading OF the missives.
Both men appealed to Juan Torrejon.
That operate brigand promptly found
refuge in his ignorance Of the English
tongue. Loud language was heard;
the big German purpled In the face.
and the a smile left the counte-

cinated by the faces of these two men,
whom he had thought removed from
his path forever, almost forget that
he was a prisoner, and completely for
got the dangers of his situation as he
listened to the quarrel.
Juan Torrejon stood by and smiled
h~umorously al the babel OF tongues
but finally seemed TO tire OF the up
roar. He beckoned the young Mex
ican who had previously translated
his words to Brockett, and calmly
laid down the law to the coutendine

sugar ShOai Having Been Passed.
Democrats Expect No Trouble With
Wool.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Free raw
wool is the next fight ahead on the
tariff bill in tho senate and it prob
ably will be reached tomorrow. The
cotton and flax schedules practically
were disposed of today.
The free sugar victory having been
won for the administration Yesterday
with few votes to spare, Democratic
leaders have no fear Of losing on wool
The vote, it is believed, will be about
the same as that on sugar with Sen
ators Thornton and Ransdell of
Louisiana the only Democrats voting
with the Republicans
Progress on the bill in the last
few days has been rapid and there
were some predictions that the tariff
bill might be out of the way by Sep
tember IS. Less resistance than was
expected developed on the cotton
schedule. Senator Lippitt of Rhode
Island conducted the opposition. He
induced Democrats to accept one of
his suggestions modifying the provi-
sions of a paragraph relating to cot
ton cloths and the committee also
agreed to reconsider the paragraph
together with that relating to table
damasks. Some reclassifications may
be agreed 20 later
Final disposition Of the cotton rates
will not be made without another
discussion. Senator LaFollette gave
/ notice he would submit a substitute
for the entire schedule when the bill
came from the committee Of the
whole.
Senator McCumber of North Dako-
ia vigorously opposed the free listing
Of fax and hemp as decreed by the
senate finance committee. He asked
why Democrats had retained protec-
tion on the products of flax mills and
had given free materials to the mills.
I'VE have chosen to put all textile
raw material on the free list" said
Senator Williams, "to enable us to
make greater reductions in the tariffs
on finished products.

The tattered standard of the South
Were shrivelled at the cannon's

And all her hopes were desolate.
In vain the Tennessean set

MAY |MPEACH JUDGE SPEER.
CHARGES ARE CONSIDERED IN
HOUSE COMMITTEE.
FINDINGS OF Special Investigator
and Other Exhibits Laid Before
Members.

Washington, Aug. 20.-Charges,
winch, if sustained, may be the foun-
dation of another impeachment case
in the senate are made against Fed
eral Judge Emory Speer, of the Fifth
Georgia circuit, in papers considered
today in a carefully guarded session
of the house judiciary committee.
The committee had before it The
report OF an investigation into Judge
Speer's conduct by Special EX-
aminer X. &. Lewis, submitted by the
department Of justice along with nu
merOus affidavits and other exhibits.
No action was taken, the committee
adjourning until Friday and each
member pledging himself not to dis
cuss the charges in the meantime.
1T is possible that at Fridays ses-
sion OF the house the matter may be
brought up formally with a view OF
outlining a plan of action by the COM
mittee in the event it should deter
mine to report the charges to the
house either favorably or unfavor-
ably.
The most serious charges dealt
with in the examiners reports are:
That Judge Speer unlawfully per.
mitted the wasting or dissipation Of
bankruptcy estates that came within
his jurisdiction as a federal judge.
That he presided in cases in which
his son-in-law was an attorney on a
contingent fee, with full knowledge
that his decision would affect the fee
Of his son-in-law
That he was guilty of imposing un-
lawful punishment for contempt in
cases coming before his court.
That he ignored the mandates OF
the circuit courts of appeals and of
the supreme court of the United
States in certain cases
That he was absent from his dis
trict when he should have been at
tending to his duties in court.
That contrary to Jaw, he tried cases
outside of his district.
There were other charges relating
to what the judges accusers claim
ed to be arbitrary conduct, and one
relating to personal habits.
The accusations in part are Il
reiteratiOn Of attacks made on Judge
Speer from time to time during his
many years Of service since his ap-
President Arthur.
Members of the Georgia delegation
in the house are greatly interested in
the investigation and probably will
hold a conference within the next day
or two to discuss it. One of their
number, it was said tonight, may be
designated informally to start action
in the house by introducing resolu-
tions Judge Speer will be given an
opportunity to appear before the ju-
/ dietary committee just as Judge
Archibald was accorded that right in
the last impeachment case.
Chairman Clayton, at the direction
of the committee, issued a brief state
ment after today's meeting, the bur
| den Of which was that the depart
ment of justice had transmitted to the
committee report bearing upon
Judge Speer's official conduct; that
the committee examined only por-
ton Of the report and exhibit, and ad-
| journed until next Friday las soon
as possible to determine what, if any
thing, the committee should do with
respect to such report and papers.
Mr. Clayton said the committee did
not think 1t proper TO make public
any further information at this time
