NO ACTION TAKEN.
Discussion Of Admission of Judge
Swayne's Statement Resumed.

SWayne>S statement Resumed.
The Senate convened at IL o'clock this
morning, and as it was sitting behind closed
doors when yesterdays session came to
an end the session was resumed today
under the same conditions. There were
comparatively few senator's present at the
beginning, but a roll call had the effect of
soon bringing in quorum, so that within
ten minutes after meeting business was
well under way.
The question of the admissibility in
the impeachment proceedings of Judge
Swayne's testimony before the House com
mittee was still under considera ton and
Mr.. Clarke (Ark.), who had the floor at
the close of yesterdays session, resumed
his argument in support of admission
Mr.. Clarke contended for the admissible
ity of Judge SWayne's statement before the
House committee. Mr.. Culberson opposed
admission on the ground that the proceed
Ing is in the nature Of a criminal prosec1-
ton and comes within the class of tribunals
from the proceedings of which Congress
meant to protect witnesses before its COM
mittees.
Without deciding the point the Senate
doors were opened at u o'clock and legis-
lation proceeded.
At o'clock the Senate resumed the trial
of Judge Swayne
Judge Simeon Belden of New Orleans tes-
tilted for the prosecution. He is one of the
attorneys fined by Judge Swayne for con-
tempt of court at Pensacola in 1901
His testimony proved to be one of the
most impressive features of the trial Mr.
Belden was questioned at great length as
to the proceedings that resulted in his i'm
prisonment for two months In Jail by or
der of Judge Swayne.
Mr.. Belden showed the effects of his age
His hand shook from a condition of palsy
and his voice was not strong but his testi-
mony was given in extraordinarily clear
and concise form.
Chief Clerk Henry M. Rose of the Senate
repeated to the Senate the testimony as
given by Mr.. Belden.
Mr.. Belden contrary to the usual custom
remained seated as he gave his testimony.
because of his weakened condition result
ing from a stroke of paralysis. 1t is claimed
that Mr.. Belden at the time of his impris-
onment by Judge Swayne was in a very
poor state of health, his Imprisonment add
ing to his state of weakness.
FIe told how he had been sent to prison
and after having served one month of his
term would have been able to pay his fine
and end his Imprisonment. But he believ-
ing that he was unjustly fined and as he
had already served part of his term de-
termined to serve the balance of it.
AT this hour the galleries of the Senate
were crowded as has been usual during
the trial. The assemblage today, however.
was largely of those who had come to
witness the exercises in connection with
the acceptance of the statue of Frances
f. Willard.

THE SENATE RECEOES
Yields to the Protest of the
Hou e.
CONCORD Is RESTORED
AMENDMENT TO AGRICULTURAL
BILL STRICKEN OUT.
Action of the More Numerous Branch
of Congress Sharply Criticised
by Several Senators.
CONCORD IS RESTORED

Mr.. Hansbrough offered a mo-
ton today that the Senate recede
from its position in the amendment
affecting the tariff which was placed
on the agricultural appropriation
bill. After some debate this WAS
agreed to, the vote by which the bill
was passed was reconsidered, the
amendment stricken out and the bill
again passed as the House OF KEEP
resentatives desired.
Shortly after the Senate met in open
session today the clerk of the House OF
Representatives appeared with the resolu-
tion of the House Of Representatives,
adopted Yesterday. returning the agricul-
turll bill because of the objection of the
House 10 the Senate amendment, constituting
the provision of the Dingley law imposing
q duty on wheat
Mr. Hansbrough who is the author of
the Senate amendment moved that the
Senate recede therefrom. but before doing
SO expressed regret at the action of the
House. He called attention to the fact
that notwithstanding the session had pro-
crossed to within two weeks of its close,
the House had taken no cognizance of the
ruling of the Treasury Department, which
ruling he said absolutely nullified a law.
He declared that in view of the great
pressure of business there was nothing left
but to allow the House to have its way
in the matter. and therefore entered MS
motion TO recede.
Senatorial Criticism.
Mr.. Foraker also protested agaist the
action of the House contending that the
constitutional provision that bills to raise
revenue must originate in the House did
not preclude the Senate from originating
measures affecting revenue.
Mr. Patterson asserted that the opinion
given on the rebate on wheat by Attorney
General Moody was lin the face and teeth
OF the law" He added: Il protest against
any action by any executive official which.
for the benefit Of any trust, changes or re-
peals a law"
Mr.. Morgan was of opinion that the
House had entirely transcribed it's author
ity under the Constitution" adding that
that body had no right to send the bill
back as it had done.
Mr.. Spooner defended the action of the
House on the ground that the Senate had
invaded it's prerogatives He characterized
the House protest as respectful and digni-
fed, and expressed the hope that the Sen
ate would meet it in the same spirit.
Messrs- Bacon, Teller and Money con-
CURED in Mr.. Spooner's views.
The vote by which the agricultural bill
was passed was then reconsidered, the
amendment stricken out. and the bill
again passed
Mr. Martin called attention to the fact
that the employers liability bill has been
in the hands of the committee on Interstate
commerce for twelve months, and said that
while he did not mean to ask the commit
tees discharge from further considera ton
OF the bill. he did desire to call attention
to the facts, and to ask the committee TO
take up the measure and make a report
