OHIO RIVER FULL
 OF FLOATING ICE
STEAMER BREAKS LOOSE FROM MOoRiNGS AND IS WASHED DOWN RIVER AT MERCY OF THE ooRoEs.

Cincinnati, January 16-The river is rising rapidly, and with the channel full oe heavy floating ice covered with snow 1t appears menacing, but as yet there is not much cause for alarm.
 Monday 1t reached a stage of nearly 22 feet and indications are that 1t will not go beyond 30 feet From headwaters down to near Point Pleasant the Ohio was falling Monday and the crest of the recent Pittsburg rise is between Cincinnati and Huntington. At this point ths river is 7.9 feet higher than Sunday morning. The temperature was down to 8 degrees above zero Sunday and de- spite the rapidly rising river, new ice formed along the shore and between the boats and the bank. So far all the har- bors are in good order and the eight steam boats at the wharf all have their spars out to keep them In the water.
 Reports from above state that the river is full of heavy floating ice. The cold weather has checked the rapid rise in the stream above. The Coney Island company's boat, the Island Queen, drift ed helplessly along the river for an hour at the mercy of the current and ice until towboats sent from Cincinnati to her rescue lowed her to safe harbor at Coal Haven. A small gorge that had been mile above for several days broke and the ice came down with a rush a-d hit the boat. The cables snapped and the big steamer, with no steam up, no crew and no help in sight, swung out slowly to tie middle of the stream and f1oated down stream. It is not thought that she was injured.

TOO MUCH POLITICS
 AMONG CARRIERS
HAD FORMED ELABORATE PLAN TO GET oVERSTREET TO SE- PORT THEIR BILL IN RETURN FOR HIS SUPPORT.

Washington, January 16.-Postmaster General Wynne transmitted to the House to-day "a statement of facts" relative to the dismissal of James C. Kellar. pres ident of the Letter Carriers association, and Frank Cunningham, Warren Lumber and H. w. .Aliricl ,officers of the Rural Carriers ass6ciation.
 The information is in response to a res- olution introduced by Representative Heran and agreed to by the House. The response says MT. Keilar was dismissed for being absent from his postoffice duty without leave. MT. Kelar states that he he received oral leave from the late Post master General Payr~ to be absent From duty for a year. When the department ordered him to return to duty he filed a letter saying 1t was impossible for him tn do so at present. His dismissal fol- lowed. The campaign of the rural car riers for an increase of pay Is set forth in a number of circul-, letters accredited to the three named carriers and all based on an expedition made by Carrier Cum ningham to New - orlx, where he inter viewed Chairman Cortelyou of the re- publican national committee. Chairman Teggart of the democratic national com- mittee. and Representative Overstreet, secretary of the republican congressional campaign bureau.
 The plan was outlined at a dinner in St. Louis and Cunningham instructed to make the best bargain possible with the politicians" It was supposed that Rep resentative Overstreet should give out a newspaper interview to the effect that at the coming session he will allow to be presented out of the postoffice com mittee the Fairbanks bill (the situation in Indiana is that Fairbanks will be defeated, and the republicans are ot that opinion and should be glad of chance to make this trade). The interview will be flashed all over the country by the Associated Press that Overstreet will do this We will then get In our work of getting congressman and candidates to commit themserves to vote for the bill We will then get out The Free De- livery News with an extra, whooping up Overstreet, saying that he is not such a bad fellow after all, and urge the car ,iara fo e,pnnort fhe whole ticket

and he pointed out the marked differ ences in race, religion and training of the people of that territory compared with those of New Mexico, which should, he said. entitle them to separate statehood.
 Mir. Heyburn said that he would, if nec- essary, agree to the consolidation of Oklahoma and Indian Territory, but he expressed the doubt of the wisdom of even that part of the bill because of his conviction that the population of Indian Territory would become political play thing, an element to be traded and do business with" As for the effortt to unite the other two territories he could see no reason for 1t except for a short sighted desire to shut the door of the Senate against the west.
 MT. Hepburn had not concluded when at 453 D. m. the Senate went into execu- tive session. and adjourned five minutes later.

THE SENATE,

Washington, January 16.-By a vote of 3G to "A the Senate to-day decided to consider the cross-town street railway bil, for Washington. but the measure soon gave way to the statehood bill. That measure was discussed for three hours by Messrs. Simmons and Hepburn, both of whom favored the elimination Of Arizona from the bill.
 At the opening of the session a bill transferring the county of Fayette, Tex as, from the western to the southern judicial district of Texas was passed
 A bill permitting narrov--gauge rail- roads. in certain cases, to use other than driving wheel brakes now required by law was passed.
 Others bills were passed as follows:
 To fix the compensation of criers and bailiffs in the United states courts at sS a day To provide for the performance temporarily of the duties of appraisers of merchandise.
 At 2 clock the statehood bill, the un- finished business, was laid before the Sena.e, displacing the railroad bill.
 Speaks Against the Bill.
 MT. Simmons of North Carolina spoke against the bill in it's present form. He made a plea against the proposed state of Arizona on the ground of area, saying that the average distance included in the present territory of Arizona to Santa Fe. the proposed new capital, was 800 miles. He contended that as shown in the case of the division of Dakota into two states, the tendency was toward smaller instead of larger states. and added that New Mexico and Arizona combined would be twice as large as both the Dakotas to- gether.
 Mir. Hepburn also spoke against the union of New Mexico and Arizona, ex- pressing the opinion that if the present ratio of growth was maintained the pop ulation west of the Mississippi river would be three times as large as that east of the river. He contended that the people of Arizona were in every way capable of making state for themselves,

Could Institute cIviI suIt.

Responding to an inquiry by MT. Long worth of Ohio, he said that the United States would have a right to institute a civil suit against Judge Swayne to re- cover the difference between the money collected and the actual amount expended and expressed the opinion that an in- dictment properly could be brought against him.
 Mir Clayton took up the remaining eleven charges and said that although the substantial facts were admitted the excuse factory had been put in opera tion as to each one of them. No other judge, he said, against whom impeach- ment proceedings had been brought had been confronted with such a number of specifications of misconduct as Judge Swayne.
 MT. Brantley of Georgie supported the majority report of the committee. He confined himself to a discussion of the legal phases of the case, maintaining that impeachment proceedings were not made possible by the constitution for the pur- pose of punishing a deliquent official, but for the protection of the people. In his opinion 1t was the duty of the House to send to the Senate a complete picture of Judge Swayne's official life, therefore he was in favor of all the articles of im- Deachment

All Would Have to Go.

MT. Lacey of Iowa spoke for 15 min utes on the $10 a day proposition involved in the Swayne case, saying he did not favor impeachment on this ground. If this man goes out for this reason, he concluded. ''the other judges pursuing the same practice must go too''
 Secretary Shaw had said, MT. Lacey remarked, that half of our judges took the full amount of their expense allowances. But you can't inoict a nation.' he con- cluded. In many of the cases, he sai.. judges had filed expense accounts for $10 a day in localities where it was known the hotel rates were not more than $S or s4 day.
 MT. Gaines CTexas), answering MT. La cey, said he was willing the judge should mark down 20 many eggs, so many miles, 8 many cigars, so many cocktails, or anything else necessary to hold court, to be paid by the government.
 The House adjourned at 5:16 o'clock.

WANTS SWAYNE FOR EXAMPLE
In the Senate Vigorous Speeches Are Made Against the Statehood Measure in Its Present
 Form.

Washington, January 16-Debate on the Swayne impeachment case in the House today was exhaustive dealing with many of the legal phases of the charges against Judge Swayne. The Senate reso- lution fixing Wednesday, February 8, for the time of counting the electoral vote for President and Vice President, the proceedings to take place in the hall of the House of Representatives, was adopted A resolution was agreed to pro- viding for the collection of additional cottton statistics by the census bureau.
 When consideration of the Swayne im- peachment charges was resumed, MT. Clayton of Alabama spoke in advocacy of them.
 MT. Clayton, discussing the expense &C., count of Judge Swayne, argued that strange evolution had taken place by which it was sought to excuse the judge from a plain violation of the law. He produced a circular which had been ad- dressed to members and which bore the caption, ''Swayne Not Alone" and in- sisted that it should not be considered In reaching a exclusion in the case because it was not part of the evidence.
 'I repeat" he vehemently declared, 'the charges that the judges of this country are guilty of putting up at boarding houses at S1.25 day, charging up $l0 and pocketing the $S75.''
 Replying to question by Messrs. Smith of Kentucky and Bartlett of Georgia, MT. Clayton said there had not been the aliphtast intinatio hv Judge SwaVne or his counsel that judges charged up the full $10 a day, although they might have expended this. He protested against what he characterized as this wholesale in- dictment against the judiciary of the country
