The House of Representatives Thurs
day devoted its entire session to discus
sion of the Impeachment charges against
Judge Charles Swayne of the Northern
district of Florida. A dramatic incident
occurred when Mr.. Littlefield of Maine
called on Mr.. Lamar of Florida, who
filed the charges against the judge, to adj
nit or repudiate an alleged interview
which the former claimed tended to in
cite the people to commit an act of vio-
lence against Judge Swayne. Mr.. Lamar
admitted giving an interview, but en-
phatically denied any suggestion from
him that could be construed into advising
assassination or murder. He said that
although Judge Swayne was known to be
the most lawless man in Florida, he had
remained secure from bodily harm. The
Shackelford resolution authorizing the
committee on interstate TO IN
yestigate the Panama Railway Company
was passed, after which the House ad-
journed. The legislative, executive and
judicial appropriation bill was read at
length in the Senate, and there was con-
siderable discussion of the civil service
question and the provision for an investi-
CATION of foreign trade conditions by the
Department of Commerce. The bill for
the encouragement of the merchant ma
rine was reported to the Senate, and Mr..
Bailey made the point that the commits
sion had been pledged to report in favor
Of discriminating duties and not in favor
of ship subsidies. The suggestion was
combated by Senators Gallinger and
Lodge, who were members of the ON
mission.

In the Senate Tuesday Mr.. Lodge

It was ordered printed. Mr.. Mitchell Of
Oregon made a statement on his recent
indictment in connection with land
frauds. Bills were passed transferring
the control of forest reserves from the
Interior Department to the Agricultural
Department and abolishing the Office Of
the assistant attorney general for the
Postoffice Department and providing q
solicitor for that department. Mr.. Hey
burn concluded his speech on the state
hood bill. A resolution was adopted. set.
ting Feb. II as the date for receiving

In the House Friday the Senate
amendments to the Philippine govern
ment bill were n~On-concurred in and the
measure was sent to conference. Mr..
Sheppard of Texas introduced a bill pro-
hibiting the payment of mileage to men,
bers and Senators who ride on free pass
cs. Discussion of the charges against
Judge Swayne occupied the time until
adjournment. The legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bill was passed
by the Senate after the chair had sus-
tanned a point of order against the
amendment increasing the salaries Of civ
il service commissioners from $500 to
$4,000. Mr.. Beverage sought to have
a day fixed for a vote on the statehood
bill, but Mr.. German objected and the
calendar was taken UP. Bills were passed
amending the law governing the distribu-
ton of public documents, granting pen
sions to the families of Indian policemen
killed in the capture of Sitting Bull in
1890, extending the law relative to the
intimidation of witnesses in Federal
courts to witnesses before United States
commissioners and appropriating $1,000
for Charles S. Hooper, a blacksmith, who
lost all eye while in the employ of the
government. The question of policy in
volved in the last named measure was
debated at length. Several private pen
sion bills were passed.
The Miller sun. (Miller, Hand County, S.D.) 190?-19??, 1905-01-25

In the Senate Saturday another un-
availing effort was made by Mr.. Bever-
idge to secure unanimous consent to fix
a day for taking a vote on the statehood
bill. Mr.. Bate spoke for the opponents
of the bill, saying there were still a num-
Der of speeches to be made. There was
much discussion of a bill permitting
American women who nave married
foreigners to regain citizenship in
the United States, but it was deferred
for a day. A bill was passed which
makes it a felony to counterfeit the great
seal of the United States. Pension legis-
lation at the rate of 459 bills in 1OS min
utes was the feature of the House ses-
sion, all previous records for speed in
legislation being smashed. Then unani-
nous consent legislation held sway for
an hour and not a measure presented I'M
der this head came under the ban of OBJ
lection. Among the measures adopted
was one revising the copyright law with
reference to trademarks and another au-
thorizing the use of stone, earth and tim
Der from forest reserves and public lands
BY a vote of 30 to "a the Senate on
Monday decided to consider the cross
town street railway bill for Washington.
The statehood bill was discussed for three
hours by Messrs. Simmons and Hepburn,
who favored the elimination of Arizona
from the bill. The Senate resolution
fixing Wednesday, Feb. 8. as the time for
counting the electoral vote for President
and Vice President was adopted by the
House. A resolution was agreed to pro-
viding for the collection of additional
cotton statistics by the census bureau.
The legislative. executive and judicial APP

Chinese Ruler.

The Empress Dowager Of China was
sold into slavery at the age Of eleven,
to save her family from starvation.
Afterwards she was presented to the
late emperor, and, upon his wife's
death, became empress. Her feet we're
never bound, and she was taught to
read after persistent pleading. The
sterling qualities of this wonderful
woman, like those of Pillsbury's Vitos,
have overcome every obstacle. And
she holds herself at the head Of Chi
