SENATE TO
TAKE VOTE
TO-DAY
Oreat Legal Battle Up in
Campbell Gase.
/Yl'ILWAINE LEADS
FOR REF^ERENCE
The Precedents. However. Are
tho Other Way.
THE SHUMATE AND
STEVENS CASES CITED
Indications Seem to Be Thnt Scnato Wlll
Vote on Charges Without Delay.
Many Vlsitors Are Expected
to Be on Hand to
Watch thc Sen
ate's Action.
Tlio turn wliich tlho Campbell-Crawford
miitU.T tnok In tlio Scnato yesterday was
jrot altogether uncxpccted to thoso close
to thc jnsidc. and a most interesting tlght
Is now lookcd for on thc floor of tho body.
Scnator Mcilwaiiic. of Petcrsburg, who
is Icadlng tho battle for rcferenco back
to tho House, i.n a strong lawyer, and in
IiIh vlcw of tho casc tho Senate cannot
properly dcal wlth it slrnply upon thc
tindlngs of tho House Committee.
ThlR vlcw, however, is not the only one
in tho Seiiatc, and wlll bo stoutly com
batted by those who contend that all tho
prrcedents aro In oppositlon.
As plalnly act forth oflcn beforc ln The
Tlmes-Dispatcli, thcrc are two modes by
whlch a judgc can be put off thc bench.
Otio is by Impcachment and tho othcr by
Jomt rcsolutlon. Thc latter course is the
ono hnd ln mlnil ?4icn thc resolutloiis of
citlzens and lawyers of Amherst, Nelson
and J.ynchburg,wro prcscntcd to the
Legislnture, asking for tho lnvcstlgation
whlch han jiist onded beforo tho llouse
Committcc for Courts of Jnstlco.
.THE OTHER CA8BS.
Up to a few doys ago It hns bcon lookcd
upon as a foregonc conclnslon that tho
fcrm of removal by jolnt resolutlon would
bc pursucd to thls end, as had been done
ln tho Stovens and Sliumato cases, and
that tho flnal strugglo would como over
tho adoption or rejection of tho reports
by tho two houses.
Whllo thc questlon ralsed by Mr. Mcll
waine Is a new ono, yet thcio are thoso
who regard It woll worthy of careful con
sideratlon, and all bellevo that tho able
Scnator from Pctorsburg is vlewing it
from a purely lcgal standpolnt, and not
In any remoto way dcslring to bo nnder
stood as touohlng upon tho nierlts of tho
report. or tho gullt or innocense of Judgo
Campbell,
It is belleved that tho debato in the
Senato to-dny wlll bo a great ono, and
that tho ablest loadcrs on tho floor of
that body wlll "lock hoins" ln an cn
deavor to propcrly solve tho Issuo In
volved. It Is bcllovod that.a vote wlll be
reaehed to-day nrul beforo many more
moons Judgo Campbell wlll bo offlclally
notlflod of the charges upon whlch he is
to bo trlcd for hl? posltion on the bench.
It need bo taken as no dlsparngemcnt to
any that ifsecms to be tho rnoro popular
optnlon that tho Senato wlll flnnlly pass
upon the charges without sending them
back to tho Houso.
Tho disposltlon Is evidently to put tho
caso whloh hns dragged wearlly so long
beforo thc I^oglslaturo. out of tho way
speedlly, so thnt tho body may get down
to tho work whlch Is so much more im
portancn to tho pooplo of tho Statc. An
eagor, anxlous croivd Is expected ln tho
Scnato chnmbnr to-day.

?\VASIUNGTON, D. C, March H.?The
followlns statement was glven out to
night at thc Lcgatlon of thc Argontlne
Republlc:
"Reccnl publlcations referrlng to the
note of Instructions sent by tho Argen
tine Govcrnment to its mlnister In AVash
ington, Dr. Garcla Mcrou, in regard to
somo of tlio featurcs of tho Voacituelan
(ncldent, glvo tho crroncous Irnpresslon
thut Argentina asked for aln alliance wlth
tho Unltcd States and that the proposltlon
was rcjected by the Secretary of State.
"In fact, tho dlspatch.of Dr. Drago,
mlnister of forcign rclations of the-Ar
gcntlne Republlc, almed only to cxplaln
to lils dlplomatic agcnt ln Washlngton
the viows of the home government rcla
tlve to the coerclvc collectioa of pufflic
dcbts of American States by European
natlons, and Instructcd him to convey
those vlows to Secretary Hay, express
mg tho hopo that tho doctrlno of inter?
national public law sct forth by the Ar
gentlno government should provcaccopt
able to tho United States.
"Taklrig Into consldcratlon tho roai
charactcr of many of tho obllgatlons <con
traciod by tho governments of tho iilinor
South Afrlcan republlcs, tho Argcntlno
govenimcnt has folt that thcro Is great
danger to tho peace of tho contlncnt if
tho compulsory demand of immediate
paymcnt of public debts or natlonal ob
ligations is to bo acceptod in silcnce,
without discrlminatlon, as a right of the
strongor powors of Europe to control and
domlnate tho wcaker and struggllng
States of Central and South America.
RUIN OF THE -WEAKKR.
!'On thls polnt tho Argentine mlnister
of forelgn relatlons ln his note remarked
that *tho ca'pitallst wlio stipplies any
moncy to a forcign State always takes
Into consldoration the resources of the
country and tho moro or less probabllltios
that tho obllgatlons wlll bo fillod without
dlfflculty.' Dr. Drago says furthcr. on:
"'Tho compulsory and immediate de?
mand for paymont at a glven moracnt of
a public dobt by moans of forco would
not produco other than the ruin of tho
weaker natlons and the absorption of thcir
government altogether wlth all its Inher
ent facultles by tho powerful natlons of
the earth.'
"Dr. Drago'also cltlcs enunciatlons by
Hainllton and provislons of the Constitu
tlon of the United States ln thls connec
tlon.
"Dr. Drago expllclty disclalms any In
lontion to defend bad faith or irregulari
tles and dellberate and voluntary Insol
vency.
"Wo do not protend, neither cari wo
protend," he says, "that those natlons
shall occ.upy an excoptlonnl posltion in
thelr relatlons wlth tho European
Powors, who hnii'o tlio undoubtcd rlght

prjnclplo whlch wo mulntain Is that tlio
publlo debt cannot glvo rlso to an nrmad

"Complylng wlth hls Instructions Mln?
ister Mornii loft a copy of tho cnmniii
nlcntlon rouolved from hls Mlnister of
Forcign Relatlons wlth tho Secretary of
State. In lila reply; Mr. Hay dld not

1I? f.lted tho mlnister to thc mossages of
tho Presldent of Deconiber 3, J901, and
Doeembor 2, 1002.
"Secretary Hay stated further that
?adivocntlng and adhorlng in practloo In
questlons coneornlng Itselt to tho resort
of International nrbltrntlon In settloment
of dutlos not adjustablo by tho ordorly
treatment of dlplomatic negotlntlon tho
Govnrnment' of the United Statos would
always bo glafl to see tho poacoful ad
Justment of clalms liy ono Stato ngalnst

as tho guaranteo for tho executlon of

trlhunal bofore whlch tho lltlgent nntion,
weak and strnng; allko. may stnnd an
equala In tho eye of tho International
law and mutual duty."
Ono of tlie most Important fentures of
the Argenllno noto Is tha recognltlon
and endonsement glvon by tho govern
niont of that ropubllo to tlio IWonroo
