TO IMPEACH JENKINS.

Th* Jadg* Under Fir* for th* Northern Pacific Injunction. Washington, Feb. 7.—Congressman McGann, of Chioago, has introduced a resolution directing the judiciary committee of the house to investigate the charges made against Judge James G. Jenkins, of the Seventh circuit, and to report whether they warrant the presentment of articles of impeachment and also report what action is necessary to prevent a recurrence of the- conditions now laid by the injunction npon the Northern Pacific and other railroad employes and labor organizations. The resoution has a long preamble reciting the right of employes to organize and strike and Judge Jenkins’ order rtsstraining the employes of the Northern Pacific from exercising this right Mr. McGann made a fruitless attempt to secure immediate consideration for his resolutions. When unanimous consent was refused for the consideration of the resolution it was referred to the judiciary committee. Mr. McGann says he will endeavor to have that committee report back the resolution at once. He would have secured immediate consideration of the resolution had it not been for the objection of Mr. Outhwaite (dem., O.). The latter explained later to Mr. McGann that the attendance in the house was too small for the consideration of such an important subject
