IMPEACHMENT
FOR SWAYNE
House judiciary Committee Recon-.
mends That Federal Judge be
lmpesehed.
FOURTH CASE OF ITS KIND
The Last impeachment Proceedings
Were Against President Johnson
Thirty-Seven Years Ago.

Washington, March 21.-The house
committee on judiciary today voted
to impeach Charles Swayne. federal
judge for the district of Florida.
The committee reached this conclu-
sion al a session lasting from to 6
o'clock. The vote and the details of
the charges which will form the
ground of impeachment, the commit
tee agreed to withhold until the re-
port on the case has been completed
for presentation TO the house. This
report is TO be drawn by Represen-
tatiye Palmer of Pennsylvania. chair
man ol the subcommittee which took
the testimony In the case. OF this
subcommittee. Messrs. Palmer and
Clayton of Alabama reported TO the
full committee In favor of impeach-
ment. while Representative Gillet Of
California reported against 1t.
Mr.. Palmer's report will be prepar-
ed this week. II the house votes TO
impeach Judge Swayne two OF its
members will be appointed formally
to notify the senate, before which
body. sitting in a judicial capacity.
the case must be tried. The case
against Judge Swayne would be con-
Quoted by six managers who would
be members of the house elected by
that body by ballot for the work.
Judge Swayne. after the. case has
been presented TO the senate by these
managers. will be given an opportun-
ity to present his side of the case.
While the committee has voted 10
give out no details at present, IL Is
known that the charges on which tes-
iimony was taken include those of
being absent from his circuit; being
nonresident Of his district; i'm
prisoning lawyer on contempt pro-
ceedings; imprisoning the son of a
litigant, also for contempt of court,
and refusing to hear certain witness
in case before him. alleging that he
would not believe the witness under
oath.
The last Impeachment proceedings
was the case against Andrew John
son. Only three federal judges have
been impeached. The proceedings
against Judge Swayne, II carried to
the senate, undoubtedly will delay
for several weeks the adjournment of
the present session of congress. II
the senate decides against Judge
Swayne. the penalty attached to the
decision is loss of his judgeship.
Judge Swayne was appointed from
Delaware by President Harrison in
1890. His politics are Republican

STILL NO TRAINS.
Stormy Period Continues and Little
Prorgess Being Made.

No trains have reached Lewistown
over the Montana railroad since Feb
ruary 24th-one month tomorrow, and
little encouragement Is offered by the
railway representatives in Lewis
town.
While not able TO get into commun-
ication with either the general man
ager or superintendent, we learned
from Two Dot today that one train
reached Harlowton yesterday, carry
ing some freight, coal and few pas
sengers who have been kept at the
company's expense at Dorsey for
from two TO three weeks, the plan
being, we are Informed. to send these
passengers overland from Harlowton
10 Lewstown.
When Vice President Harlow re-
turned from Washington and went to
the front II was confidently believed
;iIat more rapid progress would at
once be made In the clearing of the
line. but the news this morning Is
that the road Is again blocked nj Sum.
NIT and no one is sufficiently fool
hardy TO even make a guess when the
road will be opened.
AS soon as trains are in regular
operation to Harlowton the daily
stages from that point to Lewistown
will be resumed.
saturday night there was a fall OF
five inches Of snow in Lewistown and
quite rs much along tale line Gf the
railroad as far west as Dorsey and
again today a SNOW storm prevails.
The situation IN Lewistown is be-
cunning most acute and feeling of
grave anxiety pervades all business
circles.

Will Hold Port Arthur.

that there is absolutely no foundation
for the rumors persistently sent out
from Toxic that the Russians are
abandoning Port Arthur.
ut is the veriest nonsense" said
the official informant of the associat

there to warrant such reports. The
motive of the Toxic government in
spreading this story is probably to in.
fiuence public feeling In Japan for the
prpose of creating enthusiasm while
war loan is being floated."
The newspapers here manifest the
greatest indignation over the report
The Beers Gazette characterized 1t as
outrageous and a British invention
Attention is re-directed to the order
of the day, issued by Lieutenant Gen
eral Stoessel, commander at Port Ar.
thur. in which he declared that placs
never would be surrendered. as rep,
resenting the Russian position. Rel
ative to this point a military officer
said to the associated press:
This mere statement carries its
own refutation, unless we meant To
beat an ignoble retreat all along the
line. II we abandon Port Arthur we
leave our feet there to be doomed
It is too absurd to discuss"

Proper Treatment Of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a dis.
ease for anyone TO attempt to doe
tor himself, although he may have
the proper remedies at hand. A ply
sician should always be called. II
should be borne in mind. however.
that pneumonia always results from
a cold or from an attack of the grip.
and that by giving Chamberlain's
Cough Remedy the threatened attack
OF pneumonia may be warded of.
This remedy is also used by physi-
ans in the treatment OF pneumonia
with the best results. DIR. w. j.
Smith. OF Sanders, Ala, who is also
druggist, says of Il: II have been
selling Chamberlain's Cough Remedy
and rescribing 1t in my practice for
the past six years. use II in cases
OF pneumonia and have always got
the best results. Sold by all druggists
and dealers.

SECOND RANK
FOR OUR NAVY
Present Building Plans Will Put the
United States Ahead OF France
Among Sea Powers.
FOUR YEARS MORE OF GROWTH
Walter Wellman Shows That in That
Time We Will Stand Next to
the Navy of Briton.

tWalter Wellman in Record HeraldD
Washington, March 9.-Within
four years the United States navy
will be the second most powerful
navy In the world, or at least so near
II that even the experts will not be
able to determine which navy has the
greater actual effectiveness-that OF
the United States or France. Paper
estimates OF naval strength are not
an exact or mathematical science,
and expert opinions often differ But
IL Is apparent that at the end of 1908
when the building programs now un.
der way by the great powers are fin.
ished, II will be wholly matter of
guess work as to whether the United
States or France is entitled to the
honor of standing second in actual
prowess upon the seas in fighting ton
mage and effectiveness.
Thus IL is seen that the American
policy, publicly declared the other
day in senate debates, to make the
United States navy rank next to that
of Great Britain, is much nearer re.
alization than most people had sup
posed. In fact, the rise of the Amer
lean navy In the scale OF relative
strength. its passing first one navy
and then another In the race until
now it is lively bidder for second
place. Is one of the most marvellous
developments of the generation.
Twenty years ago the American navy
was almost zero: ii was a subject of
gibe and jest. Only six years ago.
when the Spanish-American war
came on, II stood on paper sixth or
seventh among the worlds navies.
Today II is third. according to that
most excellent authority. Senator
Hale, chairman OF the senate commit.
tee on naval affairs. and four years
hence IL will be a competitor for sec
ond place. No wonder our foreign
friends are amazed at the rapid
growth Of the sea power of the Unit
ed States.
Senator Hale's speech on the nav.
al outlook and the remarks of Sen.
ator Lodge and other senator's last
week were cabled all over the world,
and attracted attention In every coun.
try which makes any pretense to
naval power he announcement that
the United States already regards
herself as the third naval power. and
that she intends to move up another
notch, may not be permitted 10 lie
unchallenged by our rivals. In his
speech last Thursday Senator Hale
gave information concerning the
growth and future of our navy which
has aroused great interest in the SEN
ate and throughout the country. Not
until today were the facts and fig.
ures prepared by the chairman of the
naval committee available in detail,
and they are now being carefully stu.
died by many public men.
Since the new navy was begun in
1888 the United States has expend
ed more than three-quarters OF a bill

fighting ships will exceed that of the
United States fighting ships at the
end Of the present period of construc-
tion, Senator Hale points out that in
the French totals are included 10000
tons built or laid down before 1884
and which are so nearly obsolete that
they should be really stricken from
the lists. All of this somewhat anti
quated French tonnage consists OF
battleships of about 10000 tons each.
Deducting these 100000 tons, the diff
United States and France four years
hence will be so small that superior
ity will have to be determined by 9TH
er Judgment than that of tonnage IL
Is the opinion of our naval experts
that In armor our navy will excel In
gunnery and general efficiency, as
well as the staying qualities of their
ships, as IL Is notorious that the
French ships of the line are weak in
armor and cannot stand as much pun
ishment as the English or American
ships. Taking the ships of the line
OF the two nayies as they will be four
years hence. probably most good
judges will give the palm TO the Unit
ed States. all things considered.
No one as yet attempts to fix the
value OF torpedo boats and submar-
ines. All the indications are that
these craft are destined to play a
much more important part in naval
warfare than any one OF authority has
so far predicted. In this arm the
United States Is lamentaby weak,
being outclassed SO far as mere num-
bers go by all the navies OF import
ance in the world. even by Austria.
But as Senator Hale has said, we
shall probably know much more about
the torpedo boats and their type in
a year or so. and as soon as the re-
quisite information Is secured the
United States can go ahead rapidly
in strengthening this arm. Our yards
are now able to build. II pressed,
probably fifty or 100 of these small
craft In year.

Report of Battle Denied.

London, March 20.-Nothing has
reached here to confirm the report
that a battle has taken place on the
Yalu, in which the Russians are al
legged to claim that they captured L..
800 prisoners.
A dispatch from st. Petersburg to
a news agency dated yesterday says
there has been no change in the sit
uation and that all is quiet on land
and sea. Between the Russian line
from Ping Yang to the Yalu river
and the Japanese line to Gensan
there have been slight skirmishes be
tween scouts. but no battle has TAX
en- place as the distance between the
opposing armies is great The bulk
of the Russian forces, the dispatch
adds, has not yet passed the Yalu
river.
The st. Petersburg correspondent
of the Daily Telegraph says that the
military authorities were startled by
the attempt of the Japanese to land
in Helena bay, as the nearest Rus
sian force that could have been used
against them consisted of three rife
regiments at New Chwang. The
weather having hinder Oh the Japan
ese landing energetic measures are
now being adopted to prevent such
a descent. Among the other devices
adopted has been the concentration
of troops at Foo Chow, 20 miles south
of Helena bay.

and American residents at New
Chwang must remain within the walls

icle at New Chwang says: Il was
