MINORITY DECLARES AGAINST
IMPEACHMENT OF SWAYNE
Parker Gives His Reasons for Thinking the
Judge Is Not Liable.

Washington, April 1.-The minority
views of Representative Gillett, of Cali
fornia, heretofore published, to which
are appended brief statements by Rep
resentatives Littlefield, of Maine, and
Parker of New Jersey, in opposition
to the impeachment of Judge Charles
Swayne, of Florida, have been print
ed for the use of members. The Gill
lett report is signed by himself and
Representatives Nevln, Alexander and
Pearre.
Mr.. Littlefield prefaces his signature
by the statement that although he has
not had time to examine the minority
report, he has carefully examined the
record in the case, "dnd have no hesi-
tation in saying that in my opinion 1t
does not disclose a state of facts that
would justify Impeachment proceed
ings."
Mr.. Parker states that in his opin-
ion impeachment proceedings should
not be begun against Judge Swayne.
He comments upon the fact that Judge
Swayne has been out of his district a
great deal each year, but says it can
hardly be stated that he has not resided
there within the meaning of the crimi-
nal statute for a period covering all or
binary limitations of criminal prosecu-
tions. He concludes:
at does not appear that his behavior
in any of the cases cited by the ma
jority renders him liable to impeach-
ment. He was justifiably severe with
O'Neal for getting into a quarrel with
an officer of his court about his off
cial action as receiver in bankruptcy,
and then stabbing him. He was right
to be severe when young Hoskins beat
the clerk of another such receiver and
took from him books claimed by that
receiver. He had occasion for right
eous Indignation against two attorneys
of his court. who doubted his word
when he denied all interest in a case
pending before him, and brought suit
against him personally in order pub
licly to emphasize that doubt. In such
q case he should not be censured even
IL he went to the limit of his jurisdic-
ton to defend his court.
'"The adjournment of the proceed
ings in bankruptcy of the elder Hos
kins was intimately connected with the
contempt proceedings as to the young
er one. There appears to be no SUBJ
stantial proof of the charges of cor
ruption, ignorance, incompetency, de
liberate waste of bankruptcy assets,
criminal or improper favoritism to GER
tain lawyers, failure to hold terms, inn
proper acceptance of accommodation,
Endorsements from attorneys or lti-
giants, or the wrongful discharge of
convicts. In the opinion of the minor
ity all these charges appear to be with
out foundation. Whether the condi-
tions that prevail in this district de-
mand some legislative remedy may be
question. which is not here now. In
my opinion Judge Swayne is not liza
BILE to impeachment"

Nobody. not even the most learned
scientist living, can tell all of the rea-
sons why the children do not thrive
In growth. We often notice children
who have formerly been robust and
strong suddenly and without any APP
parent cause begin to show signs of
failing health. Appetite is not as keen
as 1t was, the cheeks begin to lose
their color, and there Is a falling off
in weight. Food does not nourish as
1t should. there Is a susceptibility to
taking cold. and the evidence is as
plain as daylight that the vitality is
lowered.
Let us introduce a letter which
ought to be interesting to every
mother.
Milton Junction, Wis, Nov. 81, 1903.
Dear Sirs: l want to tell you what
good your Ozomulsion has done to my
little SON now three years old. He
had been in delicate health and had
suffered a great deal with impaired
digestion. He was very pale, had no
appetite, and had n great deal of sore
throat. He was not strong and we
were very much worried about him.
A short time ago l commenced Civ
ing him Ozomulsion, and the change
in him has indeed been remarkable.
Whenever / see a pale, thin child
now i think of it and wish that the
child could have the beneficial proper
ties which / know Ozomulsion con-
tains. Our little son now weighs 80
pounds. has rosy cheeks. a good APP
petite, sleeps well and Is growing
nicely. His digestion is all right, he
no longer suffers from constipa ton,
and, in fact, he is the picture of
health in every way.
We cannot possibly praise Ozomul-
sion much NEa ca fhn nj FIJI
for what II did to our little hoy.
Very truly yours,
(Signed) (Mrs.) LIZZIE SHOLES.
When the mother sees her little
child restored to health by Ozomul-
sion she does not care about the
scientific reasons for this change in
health: all she cares about is that

By R. NJ. Larner.

Washington, April lin the sundry
civil appropriation bill, which passed
the House to-day, there is a provision
carrying $105,0OO for continuing the i'm
provement of Savannah harbor.
Representative Lester says there will
be no specific provision for Savannah
or any other harbor in the $4,000, 900
bill soon to be reported from the Som
mittee on Rivers and Harbors. 1t was
originally intended to keep the bill
down to a 100000 limit, but the pres
sure was so strong that it has ex-
banded to $4,000, 900. This amount will
be expended at the discretion of the
secretary. The allotments, which are
not to exceed $4,000 in any one place,
will be made upon the recommendation
of the chief of engineers. The ex-
penditures are to be confined en-
tirely to the maintenance of projects
near completion, which may require
protection from the elements until a
general river and harbor bill is pass
ed.
No new projects will be considered
but the Secretary of War has authority
to dredge or otherwise protect chan
nels of commerce, not otherwise pro-
vided for, in case of shoaling.
The House voted down a PROPOSE
ton by Mr.. Sulzer to recommit the
sundry civil appropriation bill with in
structions to strike out the appropria-
ton of $685. 600 for rent of the New
York Custom House.
Army Matters Discussed.
The remainder of the day was de-
voted to a discussion of the conference
report on the army appropriation bill.

GOLD SWORDS OF HONOR
GIVEN BY ALEXlEFF.

st. Petersburg, April 1.-Viceroy
Alexieff is at Port Arthur on a tour
of inspection He arrived there yes
terday and his stay will be brief, as
he will return Immediately to head
quarters. With Admiral Makaroff and
Gen. Stoessel, respectively command
ers of the Russian naval and military
forces at Port Arthur, and Gen.
Smyrnoff he visited the battleships
Petro Pavlovsk, Retvizan and Care
witch, the protected cruiser Pallada
and other ships in the harbor, and
later conferred gold swords of honor,
with St. Georges ribbons, inscribed
For galiantry, upon the captains of
the cruisers Bayan. Novik and Ask
old.
According to information received
here it is believed the Japanese are
preparing to repeat their attempts on
Port Arthur
Lieut.. Newton A. McCully, assigned
as United States naval attache with
the Russian navy at Port Arthur, and
Capt. William V. Judson of the United
States Engineer Corps, who Is to be
attached to Gen. Kuropatkin's head
quarters, left here this evening, ac-
companied by Col. Papdaroff, the Bull
garian military attache, and two Swiss
attaches. They will go direct to Vice
Admiral AleXieff's headquarters at
Mukden, where their future move
ments will be determined.
There Is a growing conviction in
naval and military circles that Vice
Admiral Togo's desperate endeavors to
bottle up or cripple the Port Arthur
squadron are for the purpose of def
nitely immobilizing it while the Jap
anese effect a landing at New Chwang
or some other point.
Vice Admiral Makaroffs capture of
japanese steamer near an island be-
tween the extremity of the Lao Tung
peninsula and the Shan Tung PENN
sula proves that he is watching the
entrance of the Gulf of Pc Chi Ii.
1t is not believed the Japanese will
attempt to debark on the shores of the
Lao Tung gulf while Makaroff's fleet
is uncrinnled

PAYS TRIBUTE TO NERVE
OF JAPANESE SEAMEN.

St. Petersburg, April Admiral
Skrydloff, commander of the Black
sea fleet. who commanded the Pacific
squadron for four years, in an inter
view just published, paid high trib-
ute to the seamanship, nerve and pluck
of the Japanese. The admiral consid-
ers that only the first attack on Port
Arthur was serious. The other at
tacks and bombardments were for the
purpose of keeping the squadron in
Port Arthur, while a landing is effect
ed in Korea or elsewhere.
He considers Port Arthur impregna-
BILE, of which he believes the Japanese
are convinced, and declares that Ad-
miral Makaroff's fleet later on will play
an important role. But for the pres
ent and for some months, the scene
will be on land. While the admiral
does not say SO, it is apparent that
Makaroff is considering the arrival of
the Baltic fleet in the autumn. While
he says the Black sea fleet is only pre-
pairing for the customary maneuvers,
Admiral Skrydloff adds:
But we are ready for anything"

able to grow and develop as It ought
to do.
The trouble with children as a rule
Is that for some unknown reason
their systems lack the nourishing
properties of food and the growing
body must languish in consequence.
When the child takes Ozonulsion II
not only gets the wonderful properties
of cod-liver oil in the best possible
form for palate and stomach, but it
also gets the hypophosphites of lime
and soda, which have favorable eff
feet upon the digestion, feed the nerv-
Gus system and sustain the growing
brain. This combination of cod liver
oil and hypophosphites, as is found in
Ozomulson is the best possible rem
edy for children who do not thrive.
Ozomulsion is Il splendid remedy for
coughs and colds and all affections of
the throat and lungs. 1t goes far be-
yond this, however, in giving vitality
to the entire system and bringing
back the physical vigor by which all
children show their prosperity in
growth.
For the teething baby that suffers
so much distress in its little world
OZomusion is remarkable prepara-
ton, and in all those conditions in
which children do not thrive it is the
best remedy which could be employed.
Ozomulsion contains no harmful drugs
whatever, and is perfectly safe to give
to children. It's sweet taste alone
commends it. because children like II

cine.
Druggists sell Ozomulsion at SO

WORKING HARD TO
SAVE JUDGE SWAYNE.

Washington, April 1.-The Post to-
morrow will say:
An agreement has been reached
whereby the resolution to impeach
Judge Swayne of the northern district
OF Florida will be called up for con-
sideration in the House next Thurs
day. The time is satisfactory to Mr..
Palmer of Pennsylvania, who prepared
the majority report of the Judiciary
Committee in favor Of impeachment.
and also to Mr.. Gillett of California.
who prepared the chief minority re-
port against impeachment. Speaker
Cannon has agreed to Thursday for
consideration OF the resolution.
An attempt will be made by some
of the Republican leaders in the House
to have the matter recommitted to
the judiciary Committee, thus avoid
ing at this session a vote on the mer-
it's of the case.
If the leaders fail in their effort to
have the case recommitted they will
endeavor in some other way to pre-
vent a vote on the merits of the case
at this time 1t Is suggested as an
alternative proposition that a day aft
er the converting of the next regular
session of Congress be set for vote.

Were Not Expecting the Fierce At
tack That Was Made.
London. April 2.-The India office
has issued long dispatches sent by Col.
Younghushand. commanding the Brit
ish mission to Tibet, through Lord
Curzon. the viceroy of India. which
confirm the story of the Associated
Press concerning the engagement be-
tween the British and Tibetans near
Guru yesterday. The dispatches add
that il was a Lhassa general who
fired the first shot, thereby melting
the Tibetans to attack. and show that
but for the fact that the Tibetans were
so hemmed in that they could not use
their weapons, the British loss might
have been much more serious.
Later dispatches to the Associated
Press show that so little was the on
set expected that the British officers
were eating sandwiches and adjusting
cameras. Mr.. Gambler. the unfortu-
nate correspondent of the Daily Mail,
was sitting unarmed, writing. He had
narrow escape from death, receiving
twelve wounds; Colonel Younghusband
and his staff were not far distant, and
also were wholly unarmed, and 1t is
evident that but for the personal cour-
age and presence of mind of Col. Mac
Donald and his officers terrible dis
aster might have occurred.
The Tibetans displayed logged fear
lessness. apparently being misled by
the smallness of the British force, and
ignorant of the effect of modern fire
arms.
The whole affair only occupied ten
minutes, and even in the retreat the
Tibetans disdained to scatter and run
and marched solemnly in lines under
a hail of fire

SUNDRY CIVIL APPROPRIATION BILL
HAS BEEN PASSED BY THE HOUSE
There Is Provision Carrying S1o5,OOO for the
Improvement Of the Savannah Harbor.

With the exception of one amendment,
providing certain increases in the sig
nal corps, the House disagreed to all
other important Senate amendments,
and the bill was sent back to confer
ence.
The propositions to consolidate the
office of the ,adjutant general with that
OF the record and pension division, and
make Brgadier General Ainsworth.
chief of the latter division, military
secretary, with the rank of major gem
eral, and put him in charge, and allow
officers who served in the Civil War;
who retire. or who may already have
retired, to retire at the next higher
grade, were debated at length and met
with strong opposition. They were
disagreed to and sent into conference.
Both Mr.. Hay Democrat of Vir-
ginia and Mr.. Williams (DemocraD of
Mississippi opposed an increase in the
army. The latter declared that the
government was starving home de-
Velopment every day by devoting
money to some 10000 more soldiers than
were needed. He did not believe in
putting any more men on a war foot
ing.
Regarding the proposal to promote
Gen. Ainsworth to be major general,
Mr.. Parker (Republican), of New Jer-
say, SdlQ tnlS was SIMPLY personal
army promotion, not obtained in the
regular course of the service, and that
it invaded the prerogative of the Pres
ident. Speaking of Gen. Ainsworth,
Mr.. Parker declared that because you
know a man and think him a good fell
low in charge of a bureau, it is no
reason why you should make him a
major general"
After some debate on the Alaskan
feature of the bill the House adjourned
until tomorrow.

"In the first encounter with the Jap

crowned with victory for the Russian
arms, the enemy's losses were ten times
those of the Russians. According to
Korean reports. the Japanese buried
fifty men. while 100 wounded were re-
moved with the help of 500 Koreans to
the headquarters of the Japanese main
force. The confusion of the Japanese
was so great that they hoisted two red
cross flags in token of surrender.
Throughout their war with China,
the Japanese never showed themselves
so distracted. The troops here are in
high spirits over the news of this first
brilliant fight in Korea"

Korietz and Variag on board, arrived
here to-day and was accorded an en-
thusiastic reception by the enormous
crowds which lined the streets and

of music on board and crowded with
people, who had gone out to meet her
AS soon as the Malaga was signalled
the commandant of the port boarded
the steamer and pinned crosses of st.

men. The survivors were received on
shore with great enthusiasm.

CORRESPONDENTS ARE
OFF FOR THE FRONT.

Toxic, April 1.-The first party Of
foreign correspondents left Toxic for
the front to-day. 1t consisted of six
ty-one newspaper men, mostly British
and Americans. From here the party
goes to Moji, leaving there April on
a Japanese transport for their destina-
ton. which is kept secret.
The order of the Japanese authorities
unleashing the correspondents was
joyously received. 1t ended a long seige
on the part of the correspondents at
Toxic. They appreciated the necessity
for the government maintaining secre-
cy in regard to the movements of the
troops and their disposition for the
campaign, but the newspaper men
chafed under their extended idleness.
A crowd gathered at the Shinbasishi
station, where the correspondents went
on board train, and cheered the de-
parting writer's.

TALKED OF THE CANAL.
Plan of Payment That Will Prob

Plan of Payment That Will Prob
ably Be Followed.
Washington, April IA considerable
part of to-day's session of the cabinet
was devoted to a discussion of the sit
uation relating to the Panama canal
Ihat no delay of an unnecessary ma
ture is now expected was evidenced by
cablegram read by Attorney General
Knox informing the cabinet that a
meeting of the stockholders of the ca
nal company had been called for April
%. AT that time the final action will
be taken by the company in the trans
fer of the canal property to the United
States.
When the legal technicalities have
been complied with on the part of the
company to the satisfaction of Assist
ant Attorneys General Day and Rus
sell, who are in Paris as representa-
tives of this government, the United
States will be in position to pay over
to the company the $40, 200 for the
canal property At the same time &c.
100000 will be paid to the Republic of
Panama.
OF the necessary amount $40, 600, 900
is on deposit in New York subject to
the order of Secretary Shaw. The re-
naming $2O,0O0,00O will be paid out Of
the current funds of the treasury.
While the receipts of the government
each month are exceeding the expendi-
lures, it is just possible that Secretary
Shaw may issue an additional call
upon the national bank repositories in
order that the treasury may meet the
payment of the $20,0000OO without
drawing too heavily upon the funds
now in the treasury. 1t is desirable,
in the view of the treasury officials,
that G working balance of about $780,
000 900 be kept in the treasury. The
amount now on hand is nearly $50, 000,-
O0O and by the end of this month will
approximate $60,000,000. To retain $780,
100000 in the treasury, therefore. it
may be deemed necessary to call on
the government repositories for some
thing like $10,000.000.

HENRY FOUND GUILTY.
Sentenced to 20 Years for Shooting
at Col. Beatey.

Sentenced TO ~ 1eaFs IOE ShOOtAhS
at Col. Beatey.
Barlow, Fla, April 1.-The jury in
the case of Ben Henry, charged with
attempting to murder Col. and Mrs
John Beatey, was out only eleven min
utes last night, when it brought in
verdict of guilty as charged in the in
dictment
1t will be remembered that Col
Beatey was driving from this city to
his phosphate mine, about ten miles
away, last Christmas Eve, accompan-
led by his wife. When about three
miles from town they were fired on
from ambush, whole charge of shot
striking their buggy, tearing the top
away, and several shot striking them
about the head and face. Mrs. Beatey
was PAINFULLY hurt, and for awhile it
was feared she could not recover. The
negro, Ben Henry was arrested,
charged with the crime, and some very
strong circumstantial evidence accumu
lated against him.
The case was tried last week, the
Jury making a mistrial, and Judge
Wall ordered a new jury summoned
and appointed Tuesday of this week
to take up the case again.
Judge Wall sentenced Henry this
morning to serve twenty years in the
penitentiary.
