CASE OF JUDGE SWAYNE
Representative Gillett Submits
a Minority Report.


Signed by Himself, Representatives
Alexander, Parker and Littlefield
and He Believes Three Members
Who Were Absent Will Sign 1t.
Washington, March 29.-Representa
tive Gillett has submitted minority
report against the resolution of the
committee on the judiciary to impeacf
Judge Swayne Of the Northern district
Of Florida for high misdemeanors
Every ground urged by the commit
tee for impeachment is attacked ir
this report.
The report says that while Judge
Swayne was absent great deal from
his district it was because he was or
Gered to other states to try cases.
Az to the charge relative to finding
w. c.. O'Neil guilty of contempt the
report says O'Neil assaulted a courI
officer, was tried and convicted ant
that the supreme court dismissei
O'Neil's writ of error
AS to finding Belden and Davis
guilty of contempt the report says
these lawyers were attorneys IN case
involving tract of land in which
claim was made that Judge Swayne
was interested. The judges wife hac
negotiated for the property, but wher
he found it was in litigation the nego
tiations were dropped.
While the suit was pending before
Swayne the plaintiffs and their %ttor
neys brought suit in the state cour
against Swayne to eject him from the
property though it is asserted SwaynC
had never possession of the property
The suit was never pressed and aft
erwaISs the parties were tried anC
found guilty of contempt. They sueC
out a writ of habeas corpus before
Judge Pardee, and he, sitting with two
ether circuit judges, dismissed tht
writ.
AS to the Hoskins bankruptcy case
the report says one Hoskins, whose
father was in bankruptcy proceedings
beat a deputy receiver who had Hos
kin's books; that young Hoskins wa:
summoned for contempt but evadeC
the officer and that later the whole
case was settled and Hosllins wa
never arrested
It also appears, according to the re
port, that though Judge Swayne wa!
charged with corruption, ignorance
and incompetence, no evidence to sup
port such charges were given, anC
that no evidence was offered to show
that bankruptcy cases pending before
him were mismanaged
On the contrary the report asserts
the records introduced show that HI
has made good record as a judge ant
that in the administration of bank
ruptcy cases it appears from the at
torney generals report the average
cost of each case has been far les
than the average cost throughout tht
country.
Mr.. Gillett is authority for the state
ment that the report will be signed b!
himself, Chairman Jenkins and Repre-
sentatives Alexander, Parker and Lit
tlefield. Representatives Nevin
Thomas. Warner and Pearre were all
sent at the time the vote was taken
but Mr. Gillett believes they also viii
sign the minority views, which woult
divide the committee nine against ant
eight for impeachment.

Conservative Buying of Cotton Goods

conservative DuyIH9 VI NottOH SOOuS'
Better weather has helped retail
trade, thereby strengthening the tone
of wholesale and jobbing business,
hitherto rather pessimistic because Of
backward spring demand, Distribu-
ton, as a whole, is not up to year
ago.
Weather conditions also have al
lowed of increased outdoor activity
notably in building, but signs of in
creased tension in labor matters con
stitute a drawback at several large
centers.
The usual spring reduction of 50
cents in anthracite coal prices is an.
nounceG for April l. Bank clearings
make better comparisons with a year
ago than has been possible for some
time past. Money as whole is easy.
Conservatism is still a feature IN
tho buying of cotton goods, the mar
ket for which shows little trace of the
effects of the recent slump in the raw
product.

impeachment Of Judge-Winter Hard
on Bees--Young Bandit Convicted.
Colonel symons Will Accept-Panic
n a church-New Telegraph Com
pany-Bubonic Plague.
The Russian commander at Port
Arthur reports that early Sunday Vice
admiral Togo made another desperate
attempt to bottle up the Russian fleet
In Port Arthur, but he Iailed again
and when after daylight Vice Admiral
Makaroff steamed out to give battle,
the Japanese commander refused the
challenge and sailed away.
The Japanese practically repeated the
tactics of February "a by sending In
four fireships, preceded by a torpedo
boat 1otilla, with the exception that
the fireships this time were armed
with Hotchkiss guns for the purpose
of keeping off the Russian torpedo boat
destroyers.
The enemy's attempt was discovered
by means of the shore searchlights
and heavy fire was opened from the
batteries and from two gunboats which
were guarding the entrance to the
harbor. The Russian torpedo boat de-
stroyer SLIM was outside On scouting
duty and to the dash and nerve oil
her commander, Lieutenant Krinizki,
Is chiefly due the complete defeat OF
the plans of the Japanese.
The Stilni engaged the entire six
torpedo boats of the enemy, coming
out from a terrific fight with seven
men killed and her commander and
twelve others of her complement
wounded.
On the japanese side only one boats
crew was saved. In addition, accord
ing to unofficial reports, 1t is believed
that the Japanese lost two torpedo
boats.
Owing to the heaviness of the ar
tillery fire and the boldness of the
torpedo boats the fireships did not
reach the entrance to the harbor Two
of them grounded on reef under
Golden Hill. another sank behind the
first turn of the channel, struck by a
torpedo from a Russian boat, and
the fourth sank, its bows touching q
Japanese steamer sunk in the previous
attempt off Majatschnaja Goroda.
In high official circles this new ef'
fort to bottle up the Russian fleet is
looked upon as meaning one thing,
namely that the Japanese are prepar'
ing for a heavy landing Of troops in
the Gulf of Lao Liang, either at New
chwang or on the west coast of the
Manchurian neutral zone, to effect
which in safety the immobility of Vice
Admiral Makaroff's fleet is absolutely
essential while the transports are be-
ing conveyed around the southern end
of the penissula.
Sale of German Ships Denied.
The Russian negotiations with the
Hamburg-Amer company for the
purchase of the fast steamers consisted
only of inquiries by Russia as to
whether certain vessels were for sale,
The Hamburg-American company re-
piled that they were for sale but
named prices that the Russian navy
department thought too high. The
matter rests there.

A BRACE OF BURGLARS
One of Them Broke Jail Under Diffi-
 Culties.

Sheriff Joe Roberts, of Yavapai coun- ty. arrived in the city from the south yesterday morning. He had taken a convict to Yuma and he brought back with him two men out of whom he ex- poets convicts to be made. They are Mexicans charged with the commission Q Of a burglary at Congress several months ago. One of them, Juan Lopez, is a particularly bad man. Not long af- ter the burglary Lopez was arrested at Yuma and Sheriff Roberts went after him. He found him in jail there. and not willing to take chances, the sheriff had shac1les and handcuffs put on him. He took him to the depot, but on arriv ing there he learned that there had been a wreck on the road west of Yuma and that the train would not arrive un- til morning. He took the prisoner back to the Yuma jail but left the irons on him. Before morning Lopez broke out and was heard of no more. until few days ago the sheriff learned that e.and another Mexican had been arrested at San Bernardino, Cal. for burglary. He also learned that. they could not be con- vict5d of the crime of which they were charged, so the sheriff wired the San Bernardino authorities to hold them, or to hold at least Lopez. They were both held and when the sheriff arrived at San BernardinO he. recognized Lopez's companion as his partner in the Con- gress burglary. That was the first time he had been heard of. Thus, if Lopez had not escaped from the Yuma jail the other man might never have been found.
 Tine sheriff asked Lopez what he did with the hardware he carried out of the Yuma jail with him and which was the property of Yavapai county. Lo-

they desired to get all their testimony together at the preliminary examna- ton at which they believed their client would be fully vindicated and finally discharged. Upon this statement the court granted a continuance until Sat- urday morning.
 The testimony which the terr.t7ry was prepared to present yesterday con- sisted of the denial of R. E. Miner, of the school board, of the genuineness of his signature which appears on five or ders for school warrants which the de- fendant had given w. F. Fickas as se- curity on a note. MT. Miner was the only one Of the trustees whose names appeared on the orders, who was pres eat. w. H. Robinson was too i'll to leave Iron Springs to attend the trial and had not in fact. been subpoenaed. NIT. Kays,-the other trustee is not in the territory. His son, however, was present in court prepared 10 swear that the signature were not those of his father. Attaches of the Valley tanlS were also ready to testify that Mir Rays had not written his name on any of the orders. L. F. Kruger was ready to perform the same office in the case of the signatures of MT Robinson.
 Il is likely that on account Of the small and improperly ventilated quar- ters of Justice Burnett, the prelim- inry examination will be held in the district courtroom if it should not be occu9icd next Saturday morning

POPULATION OF CLIFTON.

Judge Langerman finished taking the school census of precinct No. 3. Satur- day last, and his records show 67O child Ten in the old Clifton precinct There are 359 boys and 3t1 girls: 3O1 attended l public schools, siXty-one private schools and 20 Sdid not attend any school. There are fifty-nine more school children i1 the district than last year. which is T very fair showing. The judge says that 1t is customary to multiply the school population by seven to arrive at the population of the precinct which would give precinct No. q population of moi e than 45O0. Precinct 3S has a population of more than 1000. making Q total for the town of at least 55G0. While the GrOwth of the town is not remarkable. still it has been steady. It has never shown a decrease-alway forging ahead
