Judge Charles Swayne, of the
Northern District of Florida, whom
the judiciary committee of the house
has arraigned for impeachment on
charges of "higl crimes and INSIDE

this way the matter can be handled
satisfactorily without delaying ad-
jour lment for single day. The &C.

A new treaty will be negotiated un-
less China is too Disguised, and the
understanding now is that American
sentiment against Chinese exclusion !
IS SO strong that a treaty which pro- f
