sWAYNE's STATEMENT.
The Question of Admitting it as Evi- dence Against Him Under Debate.

Washington. Feb. 16.-Aside from two hours spent in routine business to- day the senate gave it's entire attention to the Swayne impeachment trial. Two hours and a half of the time given to that case was spent behind closed doors considering the admissibility of the statement made by Judge Swayne before the committee of the house of representatives. The point was argued at length by a number of the lawyers of the senate It involved a cOnstruc- ton of the statute of 1862 which pro vides that a statement made by wit ness called before a congressional com mittce can not be used against him in criminal proceeding in a court. Sena-
 tors favoring the admissibility of the statement as rule contended that inn
 peachment proceedings are not crim-
 inal in character and that the senate
 sitting in the trial of Judge Swayne is not a court in the sense in which that
 word is used in the statute. MT. Bail
 ey presented this view at length. MT.
 Spooner who agreed with him as to
 the admissibility of the statement, took issJ.e with him on the points men
 tioned but based his plea on the fact
 that Judge Swayne had appeared vol
 untarily before the house committee
 arguing that in doing so he removed
 himself from the protection of the law On the other hand Messrs. Foraker and McCumber contended that the statute is so broad in scope as to ap-
 ply to all witnesses. They said its principal purpose was to protect wit nesses against a sense of fear in giv- ing testimony before congressional , committees MT. Bacon who had pre- viousIy voted against the admissibility of the Swayne statement today spoke
 in support of it's acceptance saying that an examination of the statutes had convinced him of his error on the pre-
 vious occasion. MT. Clarke of Arkan- sas was speaking when the senate took l a recess until II o'clock tomorrow with the intention of proceeding with the 1 case immediately on converting.

back and when they finally reached the lower part of the boat they encounter ed a terrible spectacle. Of the wound ed and dying crew only one was able to speak cOherently.
 The rescuers were forcing up the second manhole forward when the second explosion occurred blowing one Of them twenty feet upwards. He fell in the water and was rescued. The others were slightly wounded. The Hazard sent a fresh party to the rescue and one by one the dead and injured were brought up, the rescuers in each case returning prostrated and faint with the fumes of the gasoline. Lieu tenant Skinner was deliriOus and tried to tear himself away from his rescuers-
 As the submarine boat was on fire she was lowed to the backyard where the bluejackets made gallant efforts to get the only body remaining below, that of an engineer. They were all most asphyxiated before they succeed ed Afterward the fire was extin- guished. The cause of the explosion is unknown.

TIE EQUITABLE ELECTION
Policy of Naturalization Carried {
 Step Further.

New York, Feb. 16.-James w. Alexander and James H. Hyde were reelected president and vice president respectively or the Equitable Life As suranca society at an adjourned meet ing -of the directors today All the other officers whose terms had expired were reelected. X resolution was adopted recommending that policy holders be given the right to vote for directors and a committee which in cludes President Alexander and Vice President Hyde was appointed to carry out this step which is practically the policy of the naturalization advocated by President Alexander.
 The results outlined were reported after a prolonged session which was marked at times by considerable feeling. The friends of Vice President Hyde were disposed to view the outcome as 2 victory for their side, but on the other side the result was regarded as a general compromise in which the cOntending factions met half way.
 That MT. Hyde had a majority of directors with him, however, was never in doubt. and his election to the chair manship of the executive and financial ] committees was regarded as significant
 in this connection.

 Dosing him.

Cheyenne, Wyo., Feb. 16.-The trial of the divorce case of Col. Wm. F. Cody Buffalo BID against his wife began in the district court here today. Mrs. John w. Boyer, whose husband was for many years COdy's ranch fore man at North Platte, Nebraska. and who then lived on the Cody place, was put on the stand by the plaintiff and gave sensational testimony to the eff feet that Mrs. Cody had administered to her husband on several occasions a drug known as dragons blOOd,'' se- cured from a gypsy.

For Government of the
 ISthmidn Canal Zone
THE IMPATIENT SENATE
Unwilling to Wait Longer for Mann Measure Which Passed the House Yesterday, Has a Bill of Its Own. Progress of the Swayne Trial.

Washington. Feb. 16.-The naval ap- propriation bill today occupied the at tention of the house for the major DOT ton of the session but the debate was without particular incident and no ma terial amendment was adopted. It's consideration had not been concluded when adjournment was taken.
 Before taking up the naval bill the house entered an emphatic protest against the action of the senate in amending the agricultural bill so as to interrupt the drawback feature of the Dingley tariff act affecting wheat. By a vote of 261 to , the bill was sent back to the senate with the statement that it's amendment was an infringe ment of the constitutional privilege of the house to initiate revenue legislation Both MT. Payne, the majority leader, and MT. Williams, the minority lead CT, urged that action.
 The Mann bill to provide a govern ment for the canal zone was passed without further discussion. The bill gives all right of government to the president until the end of the next congress but provides that the gov ernment shall be 80 exercised as to protect the inhabitants in the free en- -joyment of their liberty. prosperity and { religion. It abOIshes the isthmian ca nal commission and places the work of ! construction in the hands of the presi- dent and such persons as he may ap- point and employ. It does not under , take to determine whether the canal ] shall be constructed as a sea level or 1 lock level water way. It is also pro-
 vided that persons appointed by the president both in the government ot the canal zone and in charge of the work of construction, shall make an
 nual estimates in detail as far as pos sible of the sums needed for the en-
 suing fiscal year and says that after
 June 90, 1906, no money shall be ex- pended on the canal zone government
 except in accordance with the appro-
 priation hereinafter made, thus doing
 away with the lump sum appropria
 tion carried by the existing law. Ere
 duent reports to the president anC to congress of the progress of the con
 struction as well as of the expenditure
 of money are =reauired. While the bil
 aboiishes the canal commission so ia
 as the law is concerned, it authorize the president to retain the commission
 as a commission or it's individual mem bers. as consulting. engineers if he shal
 so desire.
 Authority to condemn 1,O34 shares O
 stock in the Panama railroad now il the hands of private owners is carrie
 in the bill, and the president is author ized when full and complete control 0
 the railroad is acquired, to operate by such persons as he may select il . order that the road may be used a far as necessary as a part of the con , struction work on the canal

A SUBMARINE EXPLOSION
Four Members of the Crew Killed,
 Many Injured.

Queenstown. Feb. 16.-FOur men were killed and fourteen injured, of whom three are in a critical condition as the result of two explosions on board the British submarine boat "A-5' in the harbor today. The killed in cluded Engineer Artificer Chaffee, a leading stoker, and a stoker. Lieu tenant H. G. Good, commander of the vessel. was blinded. His condition Is critical. Lieutenant Skinner, an offic- CT of the submarine boat. subsequently died of his injuries Only one man of the entire crew escaped uninjured.
 The first explosion is believed to have occurred while the crew was engaged in filling the gasoline tank preparatory to proceeding outside the harbor. The "A-5" caught fire after the first eXplo- sion When the second explosion oc- cured a number of the crew of the +ornedo gunboat Hazard volunteered to go to the rescue of the submarine boats crew. but hardly had they got aboard the "A-5" when the second ex- pIosion took place and all the rescu- CTS were more or less injured. The submarine boat was afterward dOcked and an official statement was made this evening saying that the vessel has not suffered much damage. An inquiry in to the causes of the explosions will be held tomorrow.
 The "A 5" was a new boat and only left her building on Saturday. After extensive and satisfactory trials she was ordered to Queenstown for the purpose of familiarizing the military officers with the appearance of a sub marine boat. Sitxy army officers were present to witness the diving exper1- ment which led to such tragic result The crew were entirely volunteers. The explosion which was of the violence oi q big gun and was heard ten miles away. shook the submarines convoy the Hazard from stem to stern.
 The dense volume of smoke was seen immediately pouring from the only outlet of the hapless submarine. The rescuers report that 1t was only by superhuman efforts that they were able to force their way through the stiflins fumes. They were repeatedly driven

peal of that part of the canal act au- thorizing the appointment of the isth- milan canal commission and fixing it's duties and powers. This section is eliminated from the senate bill and the entire question is covered in the first section, which extends the present ca nal act.
 The bill introduced by Senator Kit tredge follows out practically ali the remaining provisions of the Mann bill, provides also a number of new fea- lures. One important change is in the section which extends the authority now enjoyed by the president for the control of the canal zone. The senate bill extends this authority until the end of the next regular session of con gress, while the Mann bill provides for an extension until the further order Of congress.
 Another new feature of the senate bill is as follows: "All income at any time received by the United States from rentals or dividends or otherwise fin respect of any property now pos sessed or hereafter acquired in con- nection with the canal thereof or oth- CT works shall be turned into the fund for the construction of the said canal and works
 Two new sections were added as fol- lows: That all laws affecting imports, goods, wares and merchandise, and en- try of persons into the canal zone shall apply to articles. goods, wares and merchandise and persons coming from the canal zone of the Isthmus of Panama and making entry into any state or territory of the United States CT the District of Columbia
 It provides for a deposit of not to l exceed $15, 900 with a bank having a fiscal agent on the isthmus of Pana-
 ma, in order that there may be a suf- 1 fcient supply of money to meet the
 necessities of the government.

Gov HOch has not yet signed the bill providing for the erection by the state of an oil refinery.
 Along with it's faith in oil, Kansas also is making war on those who would pipe gas out of the state. To- day in the house, Holden's bill to regu- late the transportation of natural gas was passed by vote of S7 to 32. Un- like the oil legislation which seeks to make market for that product the gas measure is intended to restrain the sale of gas. Kansas wants the gas saved for use in it's own industries and to guard it a protective association has been formed. The senate has pass ed the gas bill, but amended it so as to permit the use of pumps.

AFRAID OF THE COUNTRY
British Government not yet Forced to

London, Feb. 16.-H. H. Asquith's amendment to the reply to the speech from the throne was defeated in the house of commons tonight by a vote of 311 to PAS. This amendment which declared "that the various aspects of the fiscal question having been fully discussed in the country for nearly two years, the time has come for submit ting the question to the people with out further delay" was debated throughout today's session of the house of commons No particular interest was aroused until within an hour of the time for division, when Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman spoke at some length, attacking Premier Balfour and charging that he was afraid to face the house Of commons of the country with a statement of his position with regard to MT. ChambeFlain's program The speaker challenged Mir Balfour to appeal to the country and taunted the government with filibustering in order i to gain time and delay the inevitable defeat
