islation necessary on the subject at present. if indeed any was necessary. was the stopping of appeals from de- cisions of the commission at Circuit Courts. except where points of law were involved. when cases should go to the Supreme Court: that the freight carrying lines by water. the fast freight lines and the private car lines all be brought under the Jurisdiction of the commission, the same as the railroads are now; that carriers should be relieved of the anomalous position of being required to maintain uniform rates and prohibited from makiD,, z, agreements as to. what these rs should be. Traffic agreements a be permitted in writing and sl alt ted to the commission for approval with power to annul the same at any time.

ARGUE SWAYNE,S TRIAL
FURTHER CONSIDERATION OF IAE-
 PARCHMENT CHARGES.
Littlefleld of Maine Contends that Prosecution of the Florida Judge Arose from O'NeaI CoR-
 tempt Case.

Washington. Jan. 113.--Further con- sideratfon was given in the House of Representatives today to the Impeach- ment charges against Judge Charles Swayne of the Northern District of Florida. Today there was a notice able lack of interest In the case except among a few members. MT. Little : field of Maine claimed that there had been no hunting or bounding of Judge Swayne until as result of the O'Neal contempt case. O'Neal sought to get his revenge on Judge Swayne and charged that since ONeal died, hls funds were to an extent carrying on the prosecution. Messrs Powers (Adass.), Perkins (N. Y.). and Parker (N. J.), also spoke. the two first named for amid the last named against im- peachment.
 MT. Powers (Mass.), a member of the Judiciary Committee, maintained that it was the province of the Senate and not of the House to pass on the guilt or innocence of Judge Swayne. the duty of the House being simply to pass on the question of probable cause and to see that the articles of impeachment were In proper legal form.
 Replying to a demand by MT Gillett (Cal) to state the opinion of the law yerS ana CillScuS OL AoAiNN AS6oi NAN . the honesty, morality, Integrity ana ability Of Judge Swayne prior to the O'Neal contempt case. Mir. Powers said the evidence showed that the agitation against Judge Swayne had been on for years. He said, however that several members of the Florida Bar Associa- ton had written the committee com mending Judge Swayne for his honesty and integrity. .-
 An earnest plea for a separate vote on each of the twelve articles Of im- peachment was made by Mir. Parker CN' n one of the signers of the minority report on the Swayne case. He said that except for Judge Swayne's expense account, the alleged impeachable acts complained of were so old and stale that they should not now be revived 'It makes me hot" calculated Mir. Par ker "to find the persecution that has been lavished upon this judge" Mir Parker made some allusion of some other judges who charged full $10 a day allowances for expense. wnicn brought out a lively colloouv between himself and MT Jenkins (Wis) chair man of the Judiciary Committee MT Parker impetously said that such evil dence had been offered the committed and ruled out. 'It was not offered. retorted MT. Jenkins, who added 1t was no defense of Judge Syawne. ito show l that ten other judges had deliberately stolen $6. 900 out of the treasury of the Tinted States" The Swayne. charges were then laid aside and the House at 5:3O D. m. adjourned until tomorrow.

Adoption of Reoreanixation Plan
 Causes Division.
 Denver. Col. Jan. 13.-The National Live Stock Association was rent in twain today by the adoption of new constitution which admitted packers to membership and provided an open door through which the railroads of the country may at any time become factors in the control of the organi- zation. The cattlemen. horse and swine growers, together with repre- sentatives Of some of the allied in- dustries refused to agree with the new Constitution and withdrew when they considered It's adoption probable. and this afternoon formed new organi- zatfon under the name of the Ameri- can Stock Growers Association, whose aim 1t will be to wield dominant in- fiuence in the interest of the cattle growers.
 Roughly speaking the sheep grow CTS. commission men and stock yards interests remained with the National Live Stock Association and the actual growers of all other animals for the market have gone with the new asso- citation.
 The cattlemen having first strongly opposed admission into their organi- zation of packers and particularly of railroads, claimed that these two in- fiuences would ultimately dominate the cattle growing industries of the coun- try to the detriment of the individual growers.
 The defection In the ranks of the Association came after a long session in which the arguments were at times torrid and where the parliamentary tangles were so frequent and so com- plex that 1t was impossible to follow Il L H. -r- before the house and never voted upon. At times there would be several mo- lions before the house at one time and they would all drop together when the convention went heIter-skelter after something else.

Paris. Jan. 1S.-owing to the con- tinued discussion of the interview with Vice Admiral Doubassofr favor able to early peace, the Russian Em- bassy has given out the following statement
 Tt is quite true that the questions cited have been discussed. but it Is quite probable that the Echo de Paris interviewer gave the admirafs cir cumspect responses in sense too categorically. h reality the admiral has not foreshadowed immediate peace for the purpose of gaining time and them recommending war, under cir- cumstances more favorable for Rus- sia.
 "The questions of peace or war. de- volve solely upon the supreme au- thorities In Russia and no official parsonage would publicly express opin- ions unaccording with the reasons of the imperial government Moreover, Admiral Doubassoff's responses did not give a sufficiently solid basis to permit of exactly defining the admir- aTs confidential opinion"

Russia Claims that 1t fIas violated Its
 Neutrality.

Paris, Jan. 13.--The Associated Press learns authoritatively that Russia's Eote addressed to the powers relative to China's breaking neutrality gives what Russia claims to be absolutely proof of China's breaches. The three main complaints are:
 FirEt-That the islands of Miaotao, in the Straits of Pe-Chi-Li, opposite Port Arthur, have been constantly used by the Japanese without Chinese in- reference as strategicaI base and a harbor for Japanese torpedo boats.
 Second-That the Chinese army on the border has accepted the command of Japanese officers.
 Third-That Chinese firms have been constantly working in behalf of the Japanese, supplying them with pro- visions, military acoutrements and gen. eral war stores
 The note lengthily sets forth the de- tails and complains that China has not given satisfactory explanation of the breaches of neutrality and that, there fore, Russia advises the powers that she intends to use complete liberty of action in regard to future abuse of neutrality.
