In SENATE.
BURTON K TO QUIT
Kansas senator Under a Cloud for AL
legged Protection al. Rialto Grain Co,
is Requested TO Declare His Seat in
Upper House of Congress Vacant.

|. Washington, d. O., Jan. 17.-While
he routine business of the morning
hour was in progress Senator Mitchell,
of Oregon, entered the chamber. The
announcement that Mitchell would adj
dress the senate in explanation of the
charges against him had the effect of
filling the galleries. The senators faced
about when Mitchell rose from his seat
to speak. and few of them changed
their position until he had closed. The
scene, was impressive. AT the out
set the senator declared that the
charges made against him, if true, un.
fitted him to occupy a seat in the sen.
ate. He then detailed the charges and
said:
II assert in the most positive and
unqualified manner, that each and
every n of the charges in so far as
they relate to or involve me, are abso-
lutely, unqualifedly and atrociously
false, and I here and now Indignantly
and defiantly denounce their authors
and each and every n Of them, and
brand them publicly as malicious and
atrocious liars"
Cries as He Talks.
MitchelPs statement consumed three
quarters of an hour. Toward the close
his voice was broken by sobs and he
was compelled to dry his eyes with his
handkerchief. Many other senators
were visibly affected.
Assured of Confidence.
When the senator concluded there
was a series Of handshaking and assur-
ances of confidence on the part of the
other senator's. When the reception
terminated Mitchell resumed his seat,
but soon left the chamber.
Burton's Resignation Requested.
Topeka, Kan, Jan. 17.-Senator Gil

terday introduced a resolution in the
Kansas senate and house asking Sena,
tor ]. R. Burton to resign Immediately

Of the Missouri court.
The resolution follows:
Whereas, The senior senator from
Kansas, by reason of allegedsfraud and
speculation in office, has for more than
q year absented himself from office
leaving Kansas with only n senator

Whereas, AS the senior senator was
convicted in the United States district
court of Missouri on the charges name
and the United States supreme court
has reversed such conviction On the
ground that the alleged offense was moi
committed in Missouri, and
Whereas, Such decision necessarily
deprives the senior senator Of all use

Resolved, That J.. Ralph Burton be

forthwith. Iii.
May Not Pass.
1t is by no means certain that the
resolution will pass, but an effort will
be made by Burton's enemies to pusl
it through.

SHIPPING BILL FAVORED
House Committee on Merchant Marine
and Fisheries Authorizes Report
Proposing Passage Of Measure-To
Honor Late Frances e. Willard.
[BY H. j. MAHIN.l
Washington Bureau Of the Courier.

Washington, D. c., Jan. II.
There is a rapidly growing convic-
ton about the capitol that Judge
Swayne of Florida will not be Inn
peached after all. From the first Major
Lacey in spite of the Overwhelming
sentiment against Impeachment has
been saying that he did not think that
the charges against Swayne were suf-
f1cient for impeachment. Sentiment in
that respect Is now rapidly changing
in the house and it can be said on
good authority that if the house does
not send a stronger case than it now
has to the senate that body will never
vote for impeachment.
Think Grounds insufficient.
Major Lacey took part in a hot de-
bate on the floor the other day on this
question and occupied ten minutes to-
day. He thinks one of the particularly
weak charges of the opposition is that
Judge swayne. charged $40 a day for
his expenses. Secretary Shaw fur
nished data showing that nine other
judges in the country interpreted the
law the same way and charged $40 a
day. The other charges are that
Swayne used the private car Of a rail-
road of which he was receiver for his
personal trips and that he was absent
from his judicial district about 200
days of every year. These are consid-
cred serious but not sufficiently so to
warrant impeachment. the gravest pun
ishment that can be given a man.
To Vote Tomorrow.
Washington, d. c., Jan. 17.-(By
Associated Press.)-The house agreed,
before proceeding with the Swayne
impeachment debate today, to begin
voting on the articles of impeachment
at $3.50 o'clock tomorrow. Mr.. Lacey
occupied ten minutes in further dis
cussion of the ten dollars per day ex-
pense proposition, drawing the conclu-
sion that the impeachment ought not
to be voted on this ground.
For Shipping Bill.
Washington. ID. @. Jan. IL. The
house committee on the merchant
marine and fisheries today authorized
a favorable report on the shipping bill
reported to congress by the merchant
marine commission. Z
