other treaties doubtless will be accept

called before n parliamentary COM

his remedy. The salaries of the presl.

be considerably ralse1 because balls
cost much more thai dinners, and of.
fetal people. ought TO be paid salaries
handsome enough TO enable them TO
give great many balls. NJ. Grevy,
said Worth In disgust, only gave two
balls u year, and the crush was SO
great that ladies elected TO wear their
old dresses rather than buy new ones,
which would most assurediy he spoiled
in the crowd. Pay higher salaries. give
more balls and ask fewer guests to
each function-this was wo.ths rem.

money would circulate, trade would

NEW WAR PACKERS.
Criminal Suit May Follow Conference
of Bethea With President.

Washington, Jan. 19.-District At
torney Bethea of Chicago had a long
conference with the president yester-
white house by the attorney general,
who also participated Mr.. Bethea Is
in Washington in response to a sum-
mons from the department OF Justice
and is receiving instructions. The at
torney General and Mr.. Bethea both
decline to discuss thesubject of the
conference, but from other sources 1t
is suggested that the government has
decided to proceed against the packers
criminally, not only for contempt in
violating the injunction granted by
Judge Grosscup restraining them from
violating the interstate commerce act,
but also because of violations of that
act. The government expects a decis-
ion from the supreme cour, on the APP
peal of the packers from the injunct-
ion within a few weeks. Should 1t
sustain the governments case Mr..
Bethea will, it is understood, immedi-
ately institute the criminal proceed
ings. On the other hand, should the
government lose it's case, another effort
will be made, 1T is said, upon new evil
dence obtained since the first trial, TO
secure an injunction which Will pass
muster in the supreme court. 1t IS al
so animated that Mr.. Bethea may at
an early date proceed with prosecu-
tions against terminal companies in
Chicago upon evidence recently coll
lected by the interstate commerce
commission.

His Conduct in Advising Settlement Of

indianapolis, Ind, Jan. 19.-The man
agement of the Colorado strike was
bitterly >argued today on the floor OF
the national convention of the United
Mine Workers. Delegate Robert RAN
dali. Of Wyoming, took the floor and
spoke for ari hour. He charged that
President Mitchell had sold out the
miners organization In the recent Col
orado strike. and attacked the financial
integrity OF the president. His speech
was filed with personal abuse.
When Randall was thru Mitchell took
the floor and reviewed the conduct of
the Colorado strike, and said that it
was true he had advised settlement
and would do so again under the same
circumstances. Vice President Lewis
Secretary Wilson and others who had
charge of the strike for Mitchell spoke
vigorously defending the president.

swAYNE FACES A TRIAL.
United States District Judge Impeach
ed by the House.

Washington, Jan. 19.-Charles
Swayne United States district judge
for the northern district of Florida,
will have to stand trial before the bar
of the United States senate for higl.
crimes and misdemeanors. of which he
stands accused by the house OF repre-
sentatives. Judge Swayne's impeach-
ment in December was followed by the
voting of sweeping indictment
against him-an indictment contains
ing twelve separate counts which, in
the procedure of congress, are desig-
mated as articles of impeachment.
Twenty-four republicans voting with
141 democrats exercised a controlling
influence in forcing upon Judge
Swayne the necessity of defending his
ermine in a trial before the senate.
The question being asked is:
Can the senate try Judge Swayne
at this session of congress, and II not.
can it legally postpone his trial until
after March AZ"
The question is suggested by num-
ber of important considerations. Inc
Smoot trial before the committee on
privileges and elections shortly VIII
come to a conclusion and the senate
will have to pass upon the right OF
the Mormon apostle to hold his seat.
The statehood bill is still unfinished
business and the factions are apparent
ly as far apart over it's principal pro-
visions as they We're at the beginning
Of the session
In order to provide time for the trial
of Judge Swayne or give even perfume
tory consideration to the case of Sena-
tor Smoot, this would have to- displace
the statehood bill, and, in view of the
feeling that has been aroused by that
measure, such result might be hard
to achieve Senators and representa-
tives who have participated in trial
for impeachment agree that every
working hour of six weeks remaining
of the session would be required to
dispose of the Swayne case alone, and
on this account they are busily engag-
ed in searching the precedents that
uphold the suggestion to postpone ac-
ton by the senate until after March 4.
Man;festly such precedents will be diff
ficult to find. While the senate is
continuing body. the house of represen-
tatives is not, and it is extremely
doubtful if the present house could
designate managers to prosecute
Swayne before the bar of the senate
after March 4, when the Fifty-eighth
congress will expire. Aside from the
Swayne and Smoot cases all of the great
appropriation bills, except one, remain
to be considered, so that truly it can
be stated that the senate's coming
six weeks will be crowded.
Test of Strength in House.
The first test of strength in the house
between the friends and enemies OF
Judge Swayne justified earlier state-

a half brother of the president OF the

an interview with Duke, which the lat

Mrs. Duke then asked If Duke in
