IMPEACHING CROVER
Senator Stewart, of Nerafla, Is After
tee President Toflay.'
WARM IN THE SENATE CHAMBER
Arraigns Him for Obstructing Legisla
tion and Trying to Coerce
Congress.
Washivgtos', Sept. 23. The presi
dent of the United States will be ar
raigned in the United States senate
Monday for violating the spirit of the
constitution in endeavoring to destroy
the independence of tbe lawmaking
branch of the government by seeking to
coerce congress into the passage of the
repeal bill. Notice to this effect is
clearly indicated In the resolution pre
sented this morning by Stewart of Ne
vada, upon which he announced he
would address the senate Monday. The
resolution declares the independence of
the co-ordinate departments of the gov
ernment must be maintained, and the
use of power and influence by one de
partment to control the action of an
other is in violation of the constitution
and destructive to our form of govern
ment. The introduction of the resolu
tion created a sensation, and discussion
of the matter Monday will attract great
attention, as it indicated the silver sen
ators will divert the discussion in the
senate to the alleged attempt of the
president to control congress. .
THE BOMB THBOWN.
Washington. Sept. 25. Special to
Th Chhonic'lx. Never in the history
of tbe senate since the famous impeach
ment trial of Andrew Johnson, has tbe
senate beenMn such a turmoil as it is to
day. Said Benj. F. Butler in reference
to the former: "For a tithe of these
acts of usurpation, lawlessness and tyr
anny, King James lost his throne and
King Charles his head, while we, the
representatives of the people, adjudge
only that if convicted by that higher
court to which we shall send him, he
shall be removed from office, the ambi
tion to be again nominated to which has
been the moving spring of all these
crimes." On that occasion tbe tumult
of applause was deafening, but today
Senator Stewart has created a Babel of
excitement'. In his vituperation of a
man for whom he has conceived so vio
lent a hatred he knows no bounds, and
accuses Grover Cleveland of the openeet
and most shameless effrontery ever
offered to any assemblage of intelligent
people. He said that Mr. Cleveland
claimed the prerogative of dictating
what congress should do on the silver
question, holding threats in reserve if
such should not be done. Such is a
usurpation of power unwarranted in any
country, democratic or quasi-democratic,
and that Mr. Cleveland cannot yet as
sume the role of dictator. The senate
is in a most turbulent state and ajl at
tempts to maintain order are futile.
Cleveland's Arraignment.
Wahhisuton, Sept. 25. Senator Stew
art began by referring to the recent
centennial anniversary of the laying of
the corner-stone of the capilol, when,
he said, tbe president, 'with more than
100,000 high-paid government offices to
bestow, with a veto power designed only
for extraordinary occasions, backed by
concentrated capital and a "venal
press," turning to the senate wing, de
clared in menacing tones that if the
representatives there assembled legis
lated in passion or prejudice or in be
half of sectional or selfish interests, the
time when the corner-stone was laid or
the circumstances surrounding it were
not worth commemorating. This senti
ment was cheered by a thoughtless
multitude, and construed by a venal
press as a rebuke from the president to
the guilty venal senate. Stewart then
quoted from the history of England as
to tbe parliamentary struggle with the
Stuarts. Coming to the present time,
he charged that the president, in disre
gard of his oath of office, allowed the
secretary of the treasury to violate the
act which made the purchase of 4,500,
000 ounces of silver per month manda
tory, by exercising an unlawful discre
tion in purchasing a smaller amount.
Stewart declared that at no time since
Charles I, in either England or
the United States, had any
king or president openly and defiantly
disobeyed a statute which he himself
had declared niandutory, or allowed his
subordinates to do the same thing. Was
it not time to sound an alarm? If con
stitutional liberty was of any value, all
should stand up and say to the president :
"You have overstepped the mark; we
cannot afford to have the laws of con
gress diregarded."
CLEVELAND'S INABILITY.
To Force a ute Democratic Protec
tionists at Washing ton-Note.
Washington, D. C, Sept. 10, 1893.
Mr. Cleveland is slowly but surely
finding out that there are some things
which even a president with a powerful
will cannot do, and one of those things
is to compel the U. S. senate to vote
upon a bill before its members get good
and ready. A week ago the announce
ment was made that having become
tired of the delay Mr. Cleveland in
tended to personally force a vote on the
Voorhees repeal bill. Well, the vote
has not been taken and there is no in
dication that it will be taken very soon.
Or, the contrary, the indications are
that it never will be taken, unless the
senate shall adopt the change of rules
proposed by Senator Piatt, which would
practically be cloture, and Senator Voor
hees, who is Mr. Cleveland's personal
representative on the floor of the senate,
has publicly said that he would never
consent to cloture. The hilver senators
have announced their determination to
filibuster indefinitely to prevent a vote,
and they are quite strong enough to do
it under the present rules of the senate.
The democrats in the house have for
tbe purpose of getting the bill repealing
all laws authorizing federal supervision
of presidential and congressional elec
tions before the house adopted the most
outrageous cloture rule ever even sug
gested to a legislative body, a rule of
which Representative Burrows truly
says: "In the Fifty-first congress all
that we ever did was to cut off dilatory
motions. But now, if the capitol should
fall down or take fire while the commit
tees were being called, we could not
even take a recess." If this unusual
method had to be adopted by the demo
crats after a week's ineffectual efforts to
get this bill before the house it is diffi
cult to imagine what they will have to
resort to before it is passed. Tbe re
publicans in the bouse will fight it with
all tbe means at their disposal, and re
publican senators may be compelled to
use the silver question as a club to kill
it.
The closing days of the tariff hearings
were made exciting and decidedly un
pleasant for Chairman Wilson and his
free trade democratic colleagues on the
houue wars and means committee, by
the presence of one hundred prominent
democrat" from the states of Maryland,
Virginia and West Virginia, who de
manded that the tariff on bituminous
coal be let alone. Mr. Wilson and his
colleagues were told that if they re
moved the tariff on coal they would kill
one ot the most important industries of
those three states, to say nothing of all
chance for keeping those states in the
democratic column. The men who pub
licly made those statements were not
conficd to those personally interested
in the mining and transportation of
coal, but included such prominent dem
ocrats as Gov. McCorkle of West Vir
ginia. The public statements of these
democratic protectionists created a sen
sation among tbe democratic free trad
ers in congress, but their private talk
created a panic in the same class. They
told Mr. Wilson and other democrats
that they might as well bid a long fare
well to public life if thev persisted in
their free trade ideas. They also told
them that they had all the facts con
cerning the organization of the Whitney
syndicate, which has obtained options
upon all of the Nova Scotia bituminous
coal mines w ith the expectation ui mo
nopolizing the trade of t'ie United
States when the tariff on oreign coal
was removed, and that the' would make
public the full details, ro matter who
was injured, if this tarifl was removed
or lowered. This last statement was not
pleasing reading at the white house, as
it is well known that the Whitney syn
dicate is largely composed of the men
who contributed the money that made
Mr. Cleveland's election possible.
The nomination of William B. Horn
blower, of New York to the vacancy in
the United States supreme court is said
to be in the nature of a repayment of
certain personal obligations in which
were Involved some very fat legal fees
which Mr. Hornblower by reason of his
connection with a large and wealthy
life insurance company, threw in the
way of Mr. Cleveland when lie was
practicing law in New York several
years ago. The ability of Mr. Horn
blower Is unquestioned, but bis nomin
tion is nevertheless very distasteful to
the New York senators. Cas.
A DESTRUCTIVE BLAZE
Over One Million fortn of Property
Destroyed.
BUSINESS PORriOX OF ST. JOSEPH
A Hundred Men Have Their Escape
Cut Off, but Rescued by the
Fire Department
Kansas City, Sept. 25. A million
dollar fire is reported in progress at St.
Joseph, Mo. One entire business block
has been consumed. The fire is still
spreading. The water supply has given
out.
Townsend & Wyatt's big department
store will be a total bss. Loss, 300,
000. The Commercial and Carberry
blocks are going. It is spreading to the
Ranier-Shoup Crockery Company, the
Commercial bank block and C. B. F.
France's building. The loss will aggre
gate 11,000,000.
Among the buildings destroyed were:
Ransom, Garrett St Brewster, shoes ; B.
F. Barnaby A Co., drngs ; S. S. Allen &
Co., wholesale groceries; Daily News
building. A rumor that five were killed
by falling walls is denied by the police.
Numbers were more or less seriously
hurt. Over one hundred men were at
work in Townsend & Wyatt's building
when the flaraesjwere discovered. Their
escape was cut off, but all were rescued
by the fire department. The fire is be
lieved now to be under control. The
loss will be over $1,000,000.
Again the Whipping Folk
Fbederick, Md., Sept. 33. "Within
48 hours the sheriff will take you into
the county jail, iron you to the whip
ping post and inflict 39 lashes upon your
back with the rawhide, as hard as he
can lay it on." This sentence was
meted out to Daniel Jones, a prominent
armer of this county, Thursday by
Judge McSherry, of the circuit court.
Jones was, a month ago, convicted of a
brutal assault upon his wife which was
prompted by insane jealousy. The
woman wag so severely injured that
she was unable to appear In court. The
sentence -created intense excitement.
Jones will be ironed to the grim instru
ment of torture, looking more like a
crucifix than a whipping post, in the
Frederick jail yard and publicly flogged.
There's no appeal from this sentence
under the old colonial law. The sen
tence is regarded by many men as ex
ceptionally severe.
A Fiendish Deed.
San Fhancihco, Sept, 24. One of the
most fiendish deeds in the criminal
history of the city was perpetuated hore
tonight. Soon after midnight a dyna
mite bomb was exploded in a water-front
boarding-house filled with non-union
sailors, resulting in the instant death of
three inmates and the probable fatal in
jury of seven more, while many sus
tained less serious injuries. The terrific
explosion occurred in a house on Main
street between Howard and Folsom,
kept by John Curtain. The house was
filled with non-union suitors, and it was
Curtain'scustom to secure berths for his
patrons on ships employing non-union
men. In this way he naturally incurred
the enmity of the sailors' union.
The llesult of a read.
San Francisco, Sept. 24. The scene
of yesterday's explosion has lost little of
its horror, save that dismembered bodies
of the victims are no louver among the
ruins. Everywhere in the neighlxirhood
are evidences of the terrific power til the
explosion. Two apartments occupied
the front of Curtin's boarding house.
One was the office and bar, ami the
other thedining room. Of these there is
little left save a mass of splintered furni
ture and woodwork, broken glass ar.d plas
ter. Beneath the spot where the deadly
power was released is a hole through the
sidewalk over five feet in depth. Had
the force of tbe explosion extended up
ward in the same degree, the loss of life
would have been appalling. A saloon
and grocery next door were almost a
wreck, and in the sailors' home across
the street hardly an unbroken pane of
glass remains. There seems to be but
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest IT. S. Gov't Report

one theory regarding the origin of the
fiendish crime that is, that it was the
result of a long-standing feud between
the Coast Seamen's Union and the non
union sailors.
