and are likely TO remain so, unless
events OF an extraordinary character
shake the Russian emperOr's resolu-

here. are;
First. the judgment Of the chiefs of
the army that Field Marshal Oyama
not only cannot defeat General KurO-
patkin, but stands in danger Of defeat
himself. How cOwardly. therefore, for

Atlanta, Ga, Feb. 23.!The Atlanta
Constitution special Washington
correspondent, Jos. Oil, treats of the
Swayne case as follows:
AcquittaI and Resignation.
Is Judge Swane to be acquitted on
the understanding that he will resign ?
Rumor to that effect finds frequent
repetition at the capital. 1t is said by
those who repeat il that there is a
general understanding among republi-
cans to the effect that Swayne is to
be acquitted of the impeachment
charges and that he will shortly there
after resign his judgeship.
There can, of course, be nothing
like a hide-bound agreement of this
kind, and probably there is none at
all; but it must be said in all candOr
that the general attitude of some of
the republican senators toward the i'm
parchment proceedings is such as to
warrant the suggestion that they are
not very deeply impressed with the
solemnity of the oath they took at
the beginning of the trial.
This is not true of a good many;
but it is true of good many others.
These latter have frequently absented
themselves from the senate chamber
during the taking of important testi-
mony, and they have maintained d
general air of Indifference toward the
proceedings entirely out of keeping
with their gravity.
Good Enough for the South.
On the part of these men there
seems TO be a feeling either that any
old Judge is good enough for sout /
ern district or that there is politics
in the impeachment proceedings. OF
course, some of Judge Swayne's
friends have been most asstdious in
keeping this idea alive. 1t was util-
lied in the house in the hope Of pre-
venting the case ever reaching the
senate. and it has been used since the
ease reached the senate.
Be it said to their credit, good
many of the republican senators ap-
preciate the gravity of the charges
against Judge upon the bench and
the responsibility of the senate in its
capacity as a court to see the case de-
termined strictly on its merits. But
other senators have not hesitated tc
express their Impotence with the pro-
eeedings and to flew them IS uanece5-
sary. to say the least of it.
It is, perhaps, due to the talk of such

OFFICERS WHO
BROKE PAROLE
THEY WILL BE ALLOWED TO RE.
MAIN IN RUSSIA WHERE
THEY HAD RETURNED.
BY Associated Press.

San Francisco, Feb. 23.-The Elk
aminer to-day says that the three
officers of the Russian cruiser. Lena
who broke their parole here and re
turned to Russia, will in all probable
ity be allowed to remain there. The
Japanese Consul in this city is &C
credited with the statement that the
Japanese government is not the cause
of having the officers compelled to re
turn here. This will relieve the Unit
ed States government of the necessity
of demanding their return, which
would have TO be done, should Japan
make the request.

ING

men that the idea of an arrangement
for acquittal and resignation has
gone forth.
Should Be No Politics.
For two reasons there should be no
political side to this trial. One of
these is the duty of the senate to
try the case with absolute impartiality
the duty imposed by the oath the
members of the body take. The other
is found in the practical fact that
should Judge Swayne be found guilty,
republican president will have the
appointment of his successor. The
first reason should, of course, be suffi-
cient to insure absolute fairness, and
impartiality on the part of every sena-
tor. Should any permit themselves
to be swayed by other considerations,
the second reason ought to prevent
their making a partisan business of
this trial.
The testimony in the Impeachment
case seems to be of a character show
ing Judge Swayne to have maintained
toward the attorneys and others hay-
ing business in his court an attitude
of dietatorialness if that is the proper
word. entirely out Of keeping with
that absolute justice which should sur
round every court in the land. Even
if senators follow the lead of certain
republican newspapers which have
been sneering at the breach of ethics
involved in the judges riding about
in private cars placed at his disposal
by receivers whose accounts he had
to pass upon, and which have been
treating AS beneath the dignity of con-
sideration the petty larceny of gov
eminent funds involved in the pad
ding of expense accounts, certainly
those of them who are lawyers ought
to regard the contempt charges as
material in determining the fitness OF
Judge Swayne. and should pass upon
the evidence as fair and impartial
judges, as they have sworn to do.
Politics Playing Part.
There is no way to prove that they
are not doing this but the general at
titude Of some of them toward the
case and the expressions attributed to
these and others seem to warrant the
suspicion that the fact that Judge
Swayne's appointment by a republican
president, and the further fact that
ne Florida legislature is democratic,
are likely to prove factors in shaping
the final decision.

THE WaNToN Woh.> OF
A NESVILLE BURGLAR.
BY Associated Press.

Gainesville, Ga, Feb. 23.-During
the night J. R. LOgan's store was en-
tered and the safe and cash drawer
riled. Fortunately A.r. Logan did not
leave any money in them when he
closed up. The burglar took the
clothing in the store and deliberately
made three different walks across the
street by piling them in the mud. The
goods were well nign ruined. Pocket
knives were strewn up the street for
twenty-five yards.
As nothing was missing from the
store this morning IL appears that the
burglar sought to ruin the stock, not
finding the money.
