Topeka, Kas., Jan. 16.-A resoluIloil asking Senator Burton to resign was introduced in the Kansas House and Senate today. Cyrus Leland, leader of one Republican faction in the House was the author of the resolution. The matter will come up for consideration tomorrow morning. An effort will De made to table it on the ground that the case of Senator Burton is vet before the courts and therefore not a subject for legislative action. The Leland reso- lution recites that the decision of the Supreme Court of the United States to- day in the Burton case necessarily de- prives MT. Burton of his usefulness as a representative of the State of Kansas in the United States Senate. It Is by no means certain that the resolution will pass tomorrow. but a great effort will be made by Burtons enemies to push it through

Cuaytou'. Speech on sw6yne.

Representative Clayton, when tho
 House resumed consideration of the Swayne impeachment case, showed
 himself thoroughly familiar with 1t. In
 a speech of something over two hours, he replied to the exhaustive defence
 of the accused judge by Mr.. Littlefield,
 of Maine, who had spoken fully four hours.
 Mir, Clayton utterly riddled the de-
 fence in it's contention that the things Judge Swayne had done had worked no serious harm. He showed that viola
 tion of the plain mandate of the statue not ony tended to do fiarm but in each particular instance. us alleged by the
 articles of Impeachment by the evi-
 dencc submitted and which could not be overlooked. did do harm. Mir. Clay
 ton also routed the defence on the at
 tempted extenuation for the defendant
 that he had dono no more than other
 Judges had done in violating the law.
 MT. Clayton argued that these other
 Judges were not in question: nothing
 had been brought against them and
 he went so far as to defend them from being placed in such category as
 Swayne. especially as to the matter of
 rendering false accounts to tho govern ment.
 Mr. Clayton was frequently inter-
 rupted but showed himself wonderfully
 well equipped and ready with items of
 evidence. His speech was notable
 performance and raised him anew in
 the estimation of the lawyers Of
 house as an excellent representative of
 the great Judiciary committee of the body.
 MT. Bantley of Georgia. one of the ,sturdiest lawyers in the House, followed MT. Clayton in a general review of the
 case. and the declaration in terse and convincing form of the principles of law which were involved.
 Lacey of Iowa came next and at- | tempted to exonerate the Delaware
 Florida Judge by intimating that if
 would be horrible thus to impeach the
 judiciary. If Swayne were to be i'm peached for doing these things. as charged. 1t would bring in no end of Federal judges. and then what would become of respect for the Judiciary of | the country? That was the logic of Lacey's argument.
 MT. Gaines of Tennessee replied to Lacey on this point, and quoted from minds of the Senate had been forced to conclusions which put Judge Swayne in direct violation of the law. The day went against the defenders of swayne and unless these is a stronger ralIying for him tomorrow, the vote carving his impeachment to the Senate
 is bound to go through. General Gros-
 venor of Ohio will tomorrow attempt
 bis defence and will be answered by
 Representative Henry of Texas.

DECISION TO SURRENDER

London. Jan. 1T 7.--The latest news as to the condition of Port Arthur when 1t was surrendered to the Japa- nese occasions much discussion as to General Stoessefs reasons for capftu- lation. Criticism, however, is gcner- ally Ienient. there being tendency to regard General Nogfs tributes to Gen- eral Stoessefs courageous defence as much in his favor; and the inclination is to credit General Stoessei with tha knowledge that the morale of his gar- rison was shattered.
 Tho Daily Telegraph's Kobe corre- spondent gives a somewhat theatrical account of the final meeting between tho generals at Port Arthur prior to the surrender, which was obtained from. Russian generals at Nagasaki. According to this account. twelve gen- erals assembled at General Stoessers house. Asked the reason for two ad- ditional vacant chairs, General Stocsset bursting into tears. explained that they formerly. belonged to beloved departeds and, having paid tribute to the gals lant dead, General Stoessel abruptix exclaimed:
 Well. gentlemen. presume we will fight to thefend."
 Surrender or AnnihiIatfon.
 The discussion which ensued showed that the ong alternatives were prompt surrender or speedy annthilation. Then champagne glasses were filled and tha Emperor's health was solemnly hon<
 ored.
 Meanwhile the artillery thundered outside, and as several shells burst in the vicinity, General Stoessel ordered the removal of the emperor's photo- | graph. the sole adornment of the bara walls, remarking, Tt Is not right that | his majesty should witness such pro- ceeding." Tho decision to capitulate being unanimously reached. each gem eral signed the record, many sobbing aloud. Finally General St0esseI stood at attention, silently offered a prayer. brought his sword to salute. shouted, Long Live the Czar." which the 0fh- CTS repeated in chortTs, and tue council ended. 3,s. 1 It is stated that Mme. Stoessel scene ed stunned and cried aloud when she heard Of the decision. Itsis added acute estrapgement exists between General Stoessel and his men owing to the ar- engagement of favorable terms for tho officers but not for the men.

The "fngerburning case" which so
agitated this town a few weeks ago,
was revived yesterday when Justice
Andrew Taylor said he had decided
to find William H. Glover guilty of
the charges of having burned the tips

Justice Taylor said he had carefully
considered the evidence, but had not

The tips of the fingers OF the two
children were burned, but the bone
was not injured. Glover admitted on
the stand that he had burned the
fingers OF his children, but denied he
intended to do them any harm. HI
said they had often played viii
matches and he had been unable tt

Looks Bad For ! ones.


THE attempt to 8blnckmail8 and the
threat to blow up aged John Mason,
OF SJoetown, and the arrest OF Charlie
Jones as the one suspected Of being
the author Of the threatening letter
sent to Mr.. Mason, continues to be
commented upon. !s55
Much praise Is heard for the prompt
action taken by Sheriff Howard R.
Furbee and his assistants, and the
local officers who effected the capture
Of the suspected party.
Marion county's reputation has suf-
fered severely from the crimes that
have been committed within her
borders, and from the fact that Ma
rion county criminals have rarely
been apprehended and brought to pun
lshment. II Charlie Jones is found to
Ebe guilty Of the charge brought
against him this case will mark an
epoch in the criminal history Of the
county.
The Mason-Jones affair Is so similar
to the Floyd crime and the attempted
hold.up of Frank Blackstone, that
many people express the belief that
Jones may have been implicated in
the killing of Mr.. and Mrs. Floyd anu
the effort made to rob Mr.. Blackstone.
Others are Of the opinion that the man
who threatened Mr.. Mason Is simply
a cheap and bungling imitator.
Since the arrest and Incarceration
OF Jones much Is heard to the dis.
credit of the prisoner. It is said that
one OF the grounds upon which his
wife was granted a divorce was cru.

shortly after he was divorced that he
would blow up his wife's family. It
is also rumored that he talked over
matchmaking schemes with his wife

that Jones has more than once threat
