After a three week's lay-off fur repairs the steamer Young America resumed her run be tween this city and Portland last Mon day, via the Willamette slough.

The Woolly APHta.-Tlierelsmuch discussion constantly going on a to how best to guard against the wooly aphis, and especially to prevent the . . . ... Insect spreauioc. Many toeones uav. been advanced but none seem to pro vide the remedy sought. Some have advanced the idea that to transplant the orchard by grafting into the wild crab apple from the woods would bee the desired effect, claiming: that the aphis does not exist in the wild stalk. This, however, scums to be a mistake. Mr. Dolmen a few days ago bad a number of wild erab trees dug up and brought to town for the purpose of grafting, and, aa he thought, free fromaphie. To hie utter surprise be discovered the root ot some of the etalki to be literally alive with the in sect be sought to eradicate. They were there in dusters surrounded by fas or a web, apparently of their own epinning, similar to the spider web. There can be no mistake about this, since the aphis was found on these wild stalks when first brought from the woods. Indeed it seems that if the wooly aphis is to be exterminated some other remedy must be discovered. City Council Meeting.

IMPEACH MINISTER BAYARD Insolation Presented to Con gross for that Purpose. Heated Speeches Made on Either Side The Resolution Paaaed by a 8trlct Party Vote. WaSHisoTos, Deo. 10. Representative Barrett of Massachusetts enjoy tbs dis tinction of being the author of ths most thrilling Incident of ths present house. He threw a bombshell Into that body soon after It convened, by offering a resolution to Impeach Thomas F. Bayard, ex-secretary of stats snd now United States am bassador to England. Ths grounds ad vanced were utterances of Mr. Bayard de livered before th Edinburgh, Bcotlsnd, Phllosophlcsl Institute, Rovember 7. In this speech Mr. Bayard spoks of "pro tection' as a form of state socialism, and said it had done mors to foster "class legis lation," "breed iniquity," "corrupt public life," "lower tbe tone of national repre sentation" and "divorce ethics from poll tics" tlisn any other single cause. Such reflections on ths government policy by s United Slates ambassador before a foreign audience, the resolution recited, were in serious disregard of ths proprieties of bis obligation, and calculated to Injurs our national reputation. Barrett's resolution Is as follows: "I do impeach Thomas F. Bayard, Untied States ambassador to Great Britain, of high crimes snd misdemeanors, on tbe follow ing grounds; "Whereas, Tbe following report of a speech delivered before ths Edinburgh Philosophical Institute by Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, ambassador of tbe United States of America, at the eourt of Bt. James, Is pub lished in ths London newspapers of No vember 8, 1806." H then quotes tbs Associated Press dis patch containing tbs report ot tbe speech and the comment, and closes as follows: "Whereas, Such reflection upon the government policy and people of the United State by in anibaanador of tb United State In a foreign country, and before a foreign audience is manifsatly in serious disregard of the proprieties snd obligations which should be observed by an official representative of the United 8tates abroad, and calculated to injure our national repu tation; be it 'Reaolved, By the hoa.e of representa tives, that tbe committee on foreign affairs be directed to ascertain whether such state ments have been publicly made, and, if so, to report to the house such action, by Im peachment, or atberwlse, a shall be proper in tbe premises. For the purpose of this inquiry tbe committee la authorised to call for persona snd papers." Hitt, who has been chairman of the for eign affairs committee, advised Barrett to amend tbe resolution so as to strike out the words instructing the committee to report by impeachment or otherwise," snd this was Anally done. Crisp was on his feet as soon ss the read ing of ths resolution was concluded, and raised the point of order that the resolu tion did not constitute a question of privi lege. Barrett made reply. Speaker Reed over ruled tha point of order, and Barrett took tbe floor to make hi argument In favor of the adoption of his resolution. A hush fell upon the house. It wss tbe first exciting incident of the sesidon. Barrett spoke clearly and forcibly, but briefly. He con tended tbat Bayard's utterances, from a public servant, reflected upon our demo cratic policy, and were intended to aggran- diss hia party, not his country. He drew a striking parallel between the esse of Mr. Bayard and that of Martin Van Buren, whose nomination was rejected by th sen ate because, as secretary ot state, ha had given to our minister to Great Britain se cret Instructions to deal with tbe British foreign office in a manner calculated to in. crease tbe prestige of his party in this coun try. Barrett quoted the strong words of Daniel Webster, denouncing Van Buren' oonduct on that occasion, for being "the representative of his party instead of hia country." Barrett was given several rounds of ap plause by tbe republicans. 'It Is trus that Martin Van Buren's nonv ination was rejected by the senate," said Cooper of Florida, interrupting ths Massa- choeettes representative, "but is it not also true tbat in 1898 the people of tbs United States vindicated Mr. Van Buren by elect- ing him president of the United States? "And I give you notice," be sdded, aha ing hia finger at the republican side, "that Mr. Bayard may be vindicated In the same manner." The republicans were amused at this pre diction of Cooper regarding the possible fu ture vindicatian of Mr. Bayard, and broke Into a cheer when Barrett called Cooper's attention to tbe fact that four years after Van Buren's vindication in 1810 "he was buried so deep that he was nsvei again heard of." Kx-8peaker Crisp replied to Barrett in rather an Ironical tone. The purpose of ths resolution, hs said, "was evidently to give the gentlemen on the other side some thing on which to air their vlewa on protec tion." He did not think, he said, that any gentleman elected to a seat on the floor of tbs bouse believed thst the resolution con tained grounds for impeachment. "It you Impeach Mr. Bayard for those words," said tbs ex-speaker, "you must impeach a majority of the American people." Ths republicans jeered at tbla, but Crisp proceeded to recall the overwhelming re publican defeat that followed the enact ment of the McKlnley protective measure. Hs sdded thst now, if the republican be lieved so heartily In high protection, tbey should be brave enough to frame and pass a bill. It was the only way they could justify their position. MoCall followed Crisp snd said Mr. Bay ard made a vary partisan speech, obviously ons of impropriety. Sir. Bayard, bt said, misrepresented the American people by saying they nesded a strong master. Ths people of the United States have no master. Ths president waa their servsnt. "V Dingley followed MoCall and took the ground that Mr. Bayard waa an ambassador of tha United States, and ths question wss whether he should so far forget his duty ss to denounce the policy ot one-half of th people of the United States. Has the am bassador of tbla oountry the right to go upon tbe platform in a foreign oountry and denounce one-half ot tbe people in tbs terms used by Mr. Bayard T Crisp Any citlsen, no matter -who be may ba or what position he occupies, has a right to say what be thinks upon economic questions. In reply to a question by Crisp, Dingley declared, amid applause on the republican slds, tbst his personal opinion was tbat tha offense of Mr. Bayard was Impeachable, and be ought to be impeached by the house. "I believe," concluded Dingley, "tbat an example should be made of some of these gentlemen who srs constantly violating tbs principles and tbs proprieties of official life. Mr. Bayard should be publicly con demned." Johnson of Indiana, aneakins on the res olution, denounced In unmeasured terms the course of Sir. Bayard, who, hs said, not only disparaged a civil policy of tbe United States, but Impugned tb honesty snd integrity of those who advocated tbs policy. .
