The decision OF Fletcher d. Proctor
representatiye-elec from the town Of
Proctor, not to enter contest for the
speakership Of the next house Of repre-
sentatiyes simplifes situation which a
short time ago gave evidence of being
most complicated. There was promise Of
spirited contest for the position; but his
withdrawal announcement Of which was
made today, disposes Of the probability.
In spite of the fact that there are several
other Republicans Josiah Grout of Derby,
/. w. Agan of Ludlow ,Iustus Dartt Of
Springfield and few not SO well known
who have been mentioned as possible can
didates, It Is likely that there will be no
opposition to John H. Merrifeld of New
fame in the Republican ranks. And that
means an election, for the makeup Of the
house would not allow Of the election Of
any but Republican to the position. There
viii be opposition to the election Of Mr..
Mortified from the Democratic side of the
house, but the opposition will be more or
less perfunctory. Representative George

criticism from anyone. He was thorough,
conscientious and paiDstakiug. He was

being to use the members alike, regardless
Of party or personal friendship No one

He rode adown the cheering lines, he bent

And every move effulgence lent all bis

echoed down the ranks,
And thrilled the center through and

And shifted the sitting battle smoke that

Belief That Armour Has Quietly Liqua-
 dated and Deal Closed.
 Chicago. April 1s.-Alay corn had a savage break of 2A cents on change to-day. with Armour an open seller. The general impression was that the big line held by that house has been quietly liquidated during the last two weeks, and that the deal is practically over. The Armour selling to-day began shortly before noon. and for an hour the pit was in a turmoil, anxious longs dumping their lines. fighting to get rid of their corn before the bottom went out of the market. One representative of the Armour company sold personally fully 5OO,OO0 bushels of May corn and made no effort either at concealment or support when thei break got under way.
 The Armour line originally was gen. orally estimated as high as 100000 bushels, and it was accumulated most ly between 47 and 63 cents. The clos ing trade in May was 49az, just 2A cents under the final figures of yester- day.

TESTlFIES AGAINST SWAYNE
PROF WURTs, OF YALF, GIVES
 INTERESTING EVIDENCE.
Declares Florida Judge Enjoyed the Free Use of Private Cars--A Pacific Slope Trip That Caused Much scan- dalous Talk--suspicious Appointment of Master in Chancery.

Washington, April ls.-John Wurts, a professor in the Law school of Yale university, gave testimony to-day against Judge Charles Swayne before the subcommittee of the house com nlittee on the judiciary. Judge Swayne was present and will cross examine Professor Wurts tomorrow.
 As to Judge Swayne's reputation in Jacksonville, Professor Wurts said: Judge Swayne's reputation in Jack sonville was that of a judge who was open to influence, and whose decisions were governed by other considerations than the law and the evidence"
 The witness testified that Judge Swayne had a private car of the Jack sonville. Tampa and Key West railroad at his disposal for something like two years during the receivership of Mason Young, who was appointed by Judge Swayne. During the summer months, from May to December, he said, Judge Swayne would come to Jacksonville from his northern home, only on rule" days. On these trips, which took place about once month, the witness said the judge would use this private car.
 According to Professor Wurts, the Florida Central and Pensacola railroad furnished Judge Swayne private car for himself and party to go to the Pa cific slope. This trip caused much scan dalous talk in Jacksonville, and the witness said that on his return Judge Swayne told him that the only expense the trip had been to him was the pro- yi irinY7fr1cy If fho
 The appointment of John King, a young man without legal knowledge or training, as master in chancery in a pending suit involving the Florida Southern railroad was another of the accusations brought forward by Profess sor Wurts against Judge Swayne. King, he said, was reputed to be a relative of the judge. He received a salary of $125 a month for twenty y-five months under this appointment, and finally a fee of $13,500 for closing up the business and selling the road. This was declared to be an exorbitant fee.
 John Wurts practiced law in Jack sonville, Fla, from 1884 to 1896.
