EXTRAORDINARY REPORT.
New Russian Minister of Interior Has
Nj. Witte's House Searched.


London, Feb. 1.-THE correspondent
at st. Petersburg Of the Daily Mail
sends to that paper the extraordinary
report that the first act of the new min
lister of the interior, M. Bouligan, on
arriving in st. Petersburg on Friday,
was to have the residence of M. Witte,
president Of the council of the empire,
searched by the police, who removed a
mass of documents for examination. M.
Witte was at home at the time, and the
police made a systematic and thorough
examination of all the private papers in
the house. The correspondent adds that
when Minister Won Plehve was assassi-
mated he was carrying an order to the
emperor for his signature authorizing
just such a perquisition for M. Whites
papers. It looks, therefore, the corre-
spondent says, as though the new in
terror administration is beginning just
where Won Plehve left off.

ROUSE INSISTS ON ITS
STATEHOOD MEASURE
IYILL NOT ALLOW ANY OTHER

Programme.

Programme.
Washington, Feb. 10.-The republicans
of the house Of representatives decided
in conference to-day that the house
statehood provision shall prevail or that
no statehood legislation will be en-
acted by the present congress. The res
olution, which it is said sets forth this
position and which was adopted by a
vote of liz to SO after three hours OF
debate, is as follows:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
conference that the action and policy
of the republican caucus held April Is,
1904, touching the admission of Oklaho-
ma and the Indian territory as one
state and New Mexico and Arizona as
one state. as provided in the bill of the
house, No. 14,949, which bill has been
amended by the senateN and is now
pending in the house committee on ter
ritory be insisted on, and that we in
sist on such parliamentary proceedings
as can be had by majority of the
house, or a special order as can be
made and adopted by a majority of
the house, under which the aforesaid
policy of the republicans OF the house
will be worked out"
The senate bill cuts out Arizona.
A definition of what is considered the
binding feature of a caucus was made
to those republican members who have
indicated an intention to vote with the
democrats should opportunity arise for
the acceptance of the senate bill. This
definition was that unless a member
gives notice in caucus that he will not
be bound by the action taken he must
consider himself bound thereby. At the
republican caucus on April Is last,
when the house bill was agreed on as
the measure to be supported there was
no member who indicated his unWill-
ingness to be bound by the caucus. This
binding feature of a caucus, it was de-
clared, was in force throughout the
congress in which the caucus occurs
and the statement was made that no
republican member of the house now
can consider himself free to support
the senate statehood propositie,..
There is some talk among house mem
bers that the senate might accept the
house bill and negotiations with this
end in view have been in progress. To
make it impossible for the house COM
mittee to take any action until some
understanding has been reached, the
committee at its last meeting yester-
day adjourned to meet at the call Of
the chairman, and no meeting will be
held until a call shall be issued.

and i left for Meriden after prescribing
for him and Miss Ferrara. I heard no
more from him until about Christmas,
when he telephoned me asking that

me very badly. I replied that could
not come until late that day, as I was
very busy, but did go down on an aft

Various Charges and Declares 1t Is

VIII be Proyed--Time Fixed for
Hearing Case Each Day.
Washington, Feb. 1O.-The senate to-
day heard the first witness called in
connection with the impeachment pro-
ceedings against Judge Swayne OF
Florida, and thus entered upon the
real work of the trial. The statement
of the case on behalf of the house was
made by Manager Palmer, who went
over the various charges against Judge
Swayne, and said it was the expectation
of the managers that all of them would
be proven. The witnesses heard to-
day testified concerning hotel bills paid
by Judge Swayne while holding court
in Texas.
/ The senate voted to devote the time
between and 5 o'clock each day to
the SWayne inquiry
Judge SWayne entered the senate
chamber in company with his counsel,
.ex-senators Higgins and Thurston. 1t
was announced that sixty-seven wit
nesses had been summoned. The first
witnesses sworn in the case was Ben
jamin S. Lidden, Of Jacksonville, who
was called to testify to the physical
condition of Major Benjamin FL. Dur
kee, of that city, who had failed to
respond as a witness on the ground Of
illness. Mr.. Liddon was called by the
house managers to show that Major
Durkee was not ineapacitated. Mr..
Liddon said he had seen Durkee a
week ago and then found him engag-
ed in business. Mr.. Palmer on behalf
of the house asked that an attachment
for Durkee be issued and the chair
took the request under consideration
Mr.. Palmer at 1880 p m. took the
floor to make his opening statement
outlining what he expected to prove in
the proceedings.
Before entering on the details of his
case, Mr. Palmer referred to the
character of the senators who consti-
stute the court, and said that it was
such as to justify the conclusion that
"if guilty nothing beneath the shining
stars will allow them to let the re-
spondent go unwhipped of justice" :"
while he was just as sure that If in
5nocent Judge swayne would be vindi-
Gated. While speaking Mr.. Palmer
stood opposite Judge swayne and his
lawyers. He faced them, and many
times looking up from the manuscript,
from which he read, turned his gaze
directly upon the respondent.
Mr.. Palmer reviewed the several
charges and was proceeding to arraign
the respondent in connection with the
use Of a private car Of a Florida rail-
road, and show that the judges plea
to the senate does not correspond with
his statement before a house commit
tee when Mr.. Thurston objected, say
ing that under the law the testimony
given before a congressional committee
could not be used to his injury in a
criminal proceeding.
The presiding officer sustained the
objection
