SWAYNE ANSWERS CHARGES
IMPEACHMENT CASE RESUMED
BEFORE SENATE.
Justifies Acts of Which He Il Held
auilty-House Passes Appro-
priation Bill.

Washington, Feb. 4.-The senate Fri
day, after transacting its routine bust
ness. resumed the impeachment case Of
Judge Swayne. An order for method Of
procedure was adopted John M. Thurs
ton, counsel for Judge Swayne, then
read the latter's answer to the articles
Of impeachment. The answer was q
lengthy document and justified the
charge Of $40 a day for expenses while
holding court outside his district, say
ing that such an allowance was intended
to be fixed by law, and so accepted by
other judges.
Judge Swayne asserted that no ex-
penses were incurred by the use Of the
private car Of the Jacksonville, Tampa
& Key West railroad. He also denied
that he failed to establish a residence
in his district in Florida. He justified
his action in committing E. T. Davis
for contempt Of court as a public duty.
He denied that he held an interest in
the Florida Mcclure case and said that
the attempt to involve him in it was q
conspiracy on the part Of three lawyers
for the purpose of thwarting justice.
! Judge Swayne justified his act in fin
! ing and sending to prison Attorneys
| Samuel Beldin and E. T. Davis, and also
justified his punishment of w. C. O'Neal
for contempt, as O'Neal had made MUIR
derous assault upon trustee In bank
ruptcy appointed by Judge Swayne.
The reading Of the answer occupied
about two hours. February was fixed
as the time when all preliminary plead.
ings shall be presented, and February
10 as the date Of the beginning of the
regular trial. At ESQ the senate re-
sumed legislative business, and the
statehood bill was taken up.
The house Friday passed the post
| Office appropriations bill. The amount
carried is $1S0,787, Alb.

STEADY PROGRESS IS NOTED
COMMERCIAL CONDITIONS ARE
GENERALLY SATISFACTORY.
Indications That the Maximum Of
Activity Is Yet to
Come.

New York, Feb. Ar. G. Dun & Co.'s
Weekly Review of Trade says: Business
progresses steadily, all speculative ex-
cesses having been avoided thus far, and
the numerous negotiations now pending
indicate that the maximum of activity is
yet to come. Some irregularity in re-
ports for the first month were undoubt-
eddy due to exceptionally severe wealth
err. Taken as a whole, however, results
for January were very much better than
in the same month last year, particularly
as to failures. Distribution of merchan-
disc is once more on a liberal scale, traf-
lic blockades having disappeared, and in
many cases large clearance sales having
disposed of burdensome stocks. Collec-
+ tons are still somewhat irregular, but
|. on the whole there is little cause for COM
plant. Few labor disputes are inter-
rupting work, although several new con-
troversies are threatened. Manufactur-
ing plants are making the best returns.
Iron furnaces and steel mills operate
close to their full capacity
Commercial failures this week in
the United States are 259, against 305
last week, 1886 the preceding week, and
,246 the corresponding week last year.
Failures II, Canada number 80, against
43 last week, "a the preceding week, and
20 last year."
Bradstreet's says: Widespread cold
weather hampers trade in nearly all
lines, thus retarding but not entirely
checking the opening of spring distribu-
ton. Except in few lines, especially
cotton manufacturing, advance business
has been placed with a free hand, and the
feeling is none the less strong that mild
er weather will usher in widespread &C.
tivity in all lines. Records of past move.
ment confirm fairly optimistic reports
given in these columns. January clear.
ings are the largest ever recorded In thai
month, though falling behind those o,
December. The south alone shows
smaller January totals than year ago
Failures reflect the annual stock taking,
and balancing of books in a larger mum

bilities as compared with January yea
ago. The south here. too, carries tn,
chief burden, in that the entire increas,
