WONEN BEFORE SENATE.
Unusual Spectacle To Be Presented
at Judge Szcagne's Trial.
EFRoM THE TRIBUNE BuREAU.I

Washington, Jan. 31-The unusual spectacle
| or the presence of women on the floor Of the
senate during a session of that body Will be
presented at the trial of Judge Swayne Prac-
ucaIly the only precedent for this action is
found In the impeachment proceedings against
President Johnson. when two women were re-
qufred TO give their testimony before the bar of
the Senate.
Subpoenas have been issued recurring the pres
ence Of Mrs. Annie E. Russell of TvIer. Tex
the wife of Representative Gordon Russell. and
Mrs. Susan Lyle Downs, OF Waco. Tex They
have already testified before the subcommittee
Of the House judiciary Committee which was
authorized TO investigate the charges against
Judge Swayne, and their evidence will be use
ful in demonstrating to the Senate the amount
paid by the accused judge for board in at least
two of the towns he visited
Before the committee Mrs Russell testified
that in the early part of 1903 Judge Swayne
while holding court in Tyler boarded at her
house for six weeks or more paying her 81 %
day for board and lodging for the entire time
the court was in session ct that place Mrs
Downs swore that she kept a private boarding
house at Waco. Tex, and that Judge Swayne
boarded at her house at three terms Of court
for the entire length Of the session. His stay,
she testified, was from three to five weeks at a
time and he paid her $40 month for himself
and $50 q month fo- himself and wife. These
VIII be regarded as interesting If it can be shown
that at the times specified Judge Swayne was
certifying TO and drawing the full SO day for
reasonable expenses
The Swayne will again be taken up by
the Senate on Friday, when counsel for the ac-
cused judge Will submit his answer to the
charges. The House managers will then prepare
their replication. which is in the nature Of
reply Of the plaintiff to the answer of the de-
fendant, and will submit 1t to the House for the
consideration Of that body Monday, February
., at O'Clock. This practice is in accordance
with precedent, from which there will be no
deviation during the trial. Between February
and 10 the managers Of the House will COM
plete the preparation of their case and IL Is now
believed that all will be in readiness to begin
taking testimony before the Senate February
10.

Il CAUCUS ON r. r. RATES.
Republicans to Plan ActiOn Looking
to Early Passage.

Washington. Jan. 31-The Republicans Of the
House will hold & caucus Friday afternoon
at o'clock to plan a programme for the pro-
posed railroad rate legislation. There is ap-
parently disposition the part of any Re-
publican members to retard in any way the
favorable consideration of the bill reported from
the House Committee on Interstate and For
eign Commerce When 1t is brought before the
House the majority desires to present united
front through caucus instructions.
The leaders OF the House, through the Com
mittee on Rules, will bring in a rule limiting
debate TO a reasonable length of time and pre-
venting amendments. This will expedite the
consideration of the measure. and insure its
passage by the lower chamber with no unneces-
sary delay. If the Democrats of the Committee
Interstate and Foreign Commerce had ac-
cepted the proposition submitted to them yes
terday. debate of eight hours would have been
assured. They could have introduced the Davey
bill as a substitute, and the necessity Of a Re-
publican caucus would have been obviated. By
declining. however, the Democrats will now have
to content themselves with what is allowed
them by the majority.
Though bound by caucus action 10 support
the Davey bill providing for railroad rate regu-
lation, a number of Democrats are disposed to
favor the more radical measure introduced by
Representative Hearst. amended in some impor-
tant particulars. It was with view to obtain
ing another expression from the minority that
Representative Shackleford. Of Missouri, to-day
began the circulation Of a petition for Demo-
cratic caucus. He found few of his colleagues
in favor Of such action and abandoned the idea.
Under the present arrangement the Democrats
will vote against the pending railroad rate bill
of the committee. after the Davey bill has been
voted down.
