Having fought their way, at cost
of go 900 men, to occupancy of 2O3-
Metre fort and established themselves
thereon by repulsing attack after at
tack from the Russians, the Japanese
are in full possession of Port Arthur.
They report that IS the result of their
big gun marksm anship the Russian
squadron has been practically de-
stroyed at its anchorage, four battle
ships, two cruisers, one gunboat and
| one torpedo ship being either sunk or
completely disabled. The battleship
Sevastopol and most of the torpedo
boats remain serviceable and are do
ing their best to dodge the plunging
| Japanese fire. By some it is con-
sidered possible that the Russians
| have sunk the ships in order to save
| them until relief comes, when they
| can be raised.
| Tried for Impeachment.

| Representative with almost full
membership aud after more than five
| hours discussion to the exclusion of
all other business, adopted a resolu-
ton providing for the impeachment
of Judge Charles Swayne Of the
northern district Of Florida, for "high
crimes and misdemeanors." The.
case against the respondent WIS
clearly set out by Mr.. Palmer of
Pennsylvania, chairman Of the sub
committee Of the judiciary committee
which heard the evidence bearing on
each of the specifications and said
that if it were found that Judge
Swayne had done we'll he should be
INDICATED, but if be had done i'll lie
should be sent to trial where his ex-
cuses and apologies may or may not
receive consideration"
